Whether it is socially, politically, musically or other, American roots rock legend Steve Earle is a man who demands veneration. Standing there all on his lonesome on the dainty Meeniyan stage dressed in flannel and jeans, that slick-backed fringe and quasi mullet, Earle is uncorrupted in his delivery. Ramblings evolve into one of the many guitar tunings and then morph into dissertations on the state of the world; from skewed media opinion to the environmental issues we face, Earle is one man, like contemporaries Billy Bragg, Michael Franti and Bruce Springsteen with something to say – and boy does he say it.
