Notes:

This is a single track wav. The interview features Steve Earle reading passages from his book of short stories titled "Doghouse Roses", discussing songwriting, activism, the death penalty, taking phone calls and answering questions from listeners. All in all this is an excellent addition to any Earle fan's collection.

The following text was taken from http://archives.theconnection.org/archive/2001/06/0613b.shtml

>
>Songwriter-musician Steve Earle has done his time, in his life and in his art.
>
>The gauntlet of the Nashville music scene, the slavery of drug addiction, the bleak and revelatory jail time, and musical >success without compromise. Now the master-songwriter has turned his pen towards prose, with a new book of stories called >Doghouse Roses. In it, a coke addict finds anything but peace in the emptiness of the desert. A small African-American boy >learns the fatal truths of American racism. An upstanding attorney seeks closure in the execution of his wife's alleged >killer.
>
>The stories echo Earle's songs, they're a lush new arrangement of his politics, sensibilities and convictions, with >bittersweet melodies and characters who follow their own rhythms, of loneliness, love, and transcendence.
