Steve Earle Returns To His Roots With 'So You Wannabe An Outlaw'
Resume
Steve Earle moved to Nashville when he was 19 years old and fell under the spell of Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and other members of the so-called "Outlaw" movement. They chafed under the restrictions they felt were placed on country artists. So they started to make records the way they wanted to.
Earle (@SteveEarle) continues to follow in their footsteps and pays homage to them on his new album, "So You Wannabe An Outlaw." He joins Here & Now's Robin Young to talk about it.
