A bit of a twist in their normal songwriting process: Louie gave Dave just the poetry (with no musical seed) and David had a melody waiting, so they crafted and wove what they had together.
Conrad: Those guys are great writers. That’s all there is to it.
Louie: We were walking out of the studio one day and I said, ‘Hey Dave, I have an idea. What if we wrote an original song for this record?’ He looked at me and said: “Write an original cover?” He got me on that one. My brother. A man of few words.
David: The lyric is beautiful. It tells a great story.
Steve: I was so happy Dave and Louie came up with it. It kinda put everything in perspective, theme-wise: Yeah, this is us—Native Sons.
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
Wonderful... some of Hiatt's best songs are here. I've been a fan since Riding with the King. This is gloriously played, too. What a band. anthonytoner
