Length: 02:00  Type of program: World Music

Broadcast Times    

Not scheduled (again) this week


The world television premiere of a musical documentary film about legendary singer/songwriter Steve Earle.  "Just An American Boy" chronicles the outspoken Earle�s life on the road during the 2002 touring cycle for his last record "Jerusalem" and the controversy surrounding his song "John Walker�s Blues". It also includes performance of eighteen of Earle�s best known songs.  The film, directed by Amos Poe, has been praised by Rolling Stone and Billboard Magazine. 

Steve Earle is a Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter whose career as a recording artist spans 25 years.   He is the guiding light for alternative country and rock with his ambitious blend of music combining the attitude of outlaw country, the sheer power of heartland rock populism and the well-crafted lyrical commitment of America's greatest singer/songwriters.

A soundtrack album was released by Artemis Records last month.  To buy "Just an American Boy" CDs and DVDs and download songs from the soundtrack for 99 cents, please visit the Link TV Music Store.
