5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Career Milestone, Plain And Simple

JERUSALEM is, without a doubt, Steve Earle's best album since 1987's EXIT O. I was still enjoying his work over the last few years, but as creative as it was, I couldn't help but feel a....sameness....had begun to creep into it. Not so here! Everything that made Earle sound so unique and promising almost twenty years ago with his breakthrough GUITAR TOWN album is in full view here. The rock rolls, the country twangs, and all the other wonderous little elements inbetween fall right into place. Right from the start, with the hushed, sequenced whisper of "Ashes to ashes/dust to dust", we know we're in for something special! Said opening cut is the snarling, brooding "Ashes To Ashes." This hypnotic, yet cautionary, tale sucks you right in and slams you upside the head with it's bold, honest lyrics: "Nobody lives forever/Nothin' stands the test of time/You heard 'em say 'never say never'/It's always best to keep in mind/That every tower ever built tumbles/No matter how strong no matter how tall." Next up is the pounding "Amerika v. 6.0(The Best We Can Do)." According to Earle, things are pretty bad in the old U.S. of A. - the sad thing is, he hits on a number of topics where he might not be all that wrong. The slinky "Conspiracy Theory" is full of longing, regrets and "what ifs" ("Half a million soldiers fly across the water/One in ten are never comin' back again/Fifty thousand sons who never grew to fathers/Don't you ever wonder who they might have been"). The real shocker is the spritely female "Greek chorus"; you would think it would be out of place, and initially it seems that way. However, mixed with the track's stripped down instrumentation, by song's end it adds a grace and haunting depth that is a revelation. "John Walker's Blues" is making a lot of waves, and Earle is catching some flack for it. Simply stated, it's brilliant songwriting. You don't have to love or hate John Walker Lindh to see Earle is simply penning one possible story of how a man ended up in the situation he's in. Isn't that what great songwriting is all about?!? "The Kind" has a nice, smooth sway to it. It's not deep, but it's sweet, and it's acoustic, semi-flamenco vibe is a good break from a lot of the "heaviness" that permeates much of JERUSALEM. "What's A Simple Man To Do?" could show up on either a Los Lobos or a Dire Straits album....that's it's charm! With it's "Cantina-meets-pub" flavors and bubbling organ, this one's a real winner! "The Truth" is another tale about really taking a good look at one's self and realizing that some of those individuals you might think of as a tad bit....less....than you aren't. And if they are....? So what? As the song says: "Truth is it doesn't matter what you do/'Til you gaze in the mirror with an eye that's true/And admit that what scares you is the me in you." "Go Amanda" doesn't really have much to it....other than a toe-tapping, hip-swaying groove that will have you moving within minutes! Co-written with Sheryl Crow, it's hot, sweaty, sexy and joyous, in the vein of classic Rolling Stones. I dare you to hear this track and not be moving your butt by song's end! And then there's "I Remember You", the CD's emotional centerpiece. It's a classic break-up song that everyone can relate to....we know we have to get on with our life.....but we just can't ("When I'm walking the streets/And I'm countin' my steps/And I'm draggin' my feet/'Cause I ain't ready yet/To start all over again/'Cause every time that I do/I remember you"). As beautiful and perfect as this song is, it's only made better by the muted arrangement, which allows the lovely voice and amazing harmony gifts of Emmylou Harris (is this woman a national/natural treasure or what?!?!?) to shine thru. Things are then kicked up a notch or three with the rollicking "Shadowland", followed by the CD's closer, the thoughtful title track. At his most Dylanesque, Earle comes across as a sad, yet ultimately hopeful, observer on this poignant piece of writing. So there you have it....Steve Earle's JERUSALEM. Not only is it a milestone in an illustrious career, it may be 2002's Album of the Year!

I have never been a fan of country music but for some reason Steve Earle's music has always struck a chord (so to speak) with me. I picked up "Guitar Town" (on vinyl) back in 1986 after reading a review and have been hooked on his music ever since. Since then I have bought each of his releases as soon as they became available. I'll admit that some of his stuff may be an "Acquired Taste" but he never seems to fail in the area's of heart and passion.
It's kind of unfortunate that he is still stuck with the "Alt Country" label. He seems to have left that behind (at least for now) completely with "Transcendental Blues." Musically his new CD in many ways kind of echoes the Harsher material from TB. Lyrically it's much darker. It's pretty rare that I take the time to read the lyrics while listening, but I did with this one. It was time well spent.
I very much admire his way with a phrase. Some of the lyrics made me shudder. Some of them made me laugh. Some hit so close to home that they can bring a tear to my eye. A lot of attention has been brought to this release due to the song "John Walker's Blues". Well, it's a good song but in my opinion is probably the weakest cut on the album.
My only complaint is that at just over 35 minutes it clocks in a little short. Maybe I'm just greedy. I Want More Steve!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Steve Earle enters the new century

I asked a good friend and working musician awhile back why artists weren't making great protest music (He has, I should add) in response to the horror show of the Bush/Cheney years. His response was that it was virtually impossible to get it heard and - given the right circumstances - a potential career killer. We also spoke about the torment the  Dixie Chicks  were forced through just for saying they did not like the President. I commended my friend's courage to openly record songs that were critical, even if it meant a limited stature for success.

Courage comes naturally to Steve Earle. This album, "Jerusalem," was released in 2002, asked the hard questions on CD when it was dangerous to do so. (Bill Maher's  Politically Incorrect  anyone?) While not a commercial behemoth or even as popular as his  Copperhead Road  glory days, Earle was still a high profile artist and his song "John Walker's Blues" ignited a small firestorm for simply asking what would make an American teen of privilege fight against his own country.

Questions of faith and country run all the way through "Jerusalem" and the roots rock is some of Earle's best. "Amerika V 6.0" asks what happened to our fight for the American Dream atop a Rolling Stones snarl. A backwoods porch banjo stomp undercuts the wickedness of the jailed prisoner who narrates "The Truth." And the always beautiful voice of Emmylou Harris compliments Earle's gruffness of "I Remember You." It makes this such an honest album that most radio programmers dodged it completely except to exploit the controversy around some of the songs.

What they all missed was that Earle refused to compromise his integrity for the sake of jingoism. They also completely missed out on the stunning beauty of the title track. A gentle plea for reconciliation, "Jerusalem" closes the album with the hopeful couplet "I believe that one that day all the children of Abraham/Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem." It caps a terrific CD from one of our finest American artists.

I think that this is a bit of an underrated album, someone must have suggested a 9/11 song, and it does cast a bit of a pall over the start of the album. After that, subsequent songs, though perhaps quieter than we are used to, improved and the best song on the album is the title track Jerusalem. So not classic Steve Earle but worth a listen, if you are not sure borrow a library copy !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Earle in Höchstform
Reviewed in Germany on May 5, 2011
Country- Rocker lieben ihr Heimatland... auch wenn sie vom glattgebügelten Nashville- Mainstream so weit entfernt sind wie Pinguine von der Mojave- Wüste. Earle schreibt Songs über Amerika und die Welt nach 9/11, wie er sie sieht und wie er sie sich wünscht. Elektrisch kratzige Alternative- Gitarren untermalen heulend seine hingenuschelten und hingenölten Texte, darunter groovt ein brottrockenes Schlagzeug hypnotische Beats. Gelegentlich kommen ungewöhnliche Soundeffekte zum Einsatz. Earle besingt Umweltzerstörung, US- Gefängnisse, Verschwörungen, die Taliban, die Liebe, die Rezession, die Kunst und die Verzweiflung - und die widrigen Schicksale der Menschen darin. Gelegentlich wird's sehr düster... aber der hoffnungsvolle Titelsong macht zum krönenden Abschluss alles wieder wett. Mein Fave- Album von Earle. Volle Punktzahl und unbedingter Kauftipp.
