Steve Earle - Sidetracks
Aptly named, this album collects outtakes, B-sides and movie soundtrack contributions from the country outlaw’s eclectic back catalogue. Along with instrumental originals like the Celtic “Dominick St.” and the bluegrass “Sara’s Angel,” Earle covers reggae (“Johnny Too Bad”), ’60s rock (“Time Has Come Today,” with Sheryl Crow), Lowell George (“Willin’) and Bob Dylan (“My Back Pages”). But most surprising is his rendition of Nirvana’s corrosive “Breed.” Kurt Cobain with a Texas twang.
