Steve Earle: Transcendental Blues Vinyl 2LP

Ninth studio album from singer-songwriter Steve Earle. Transcendental Blues was originally recorded in 2000 and was a stylistically adventurous take on country. Earle’s music is infused with the blues, no matter if he’s plowing through roots rock, laid back country, Johnny Cash indebted ballads, or classic bluegrass. He even connects the dots between Irish music and the American countryside. Includes the songs: “The Galway Girl,” “Lonelier Than This,” and “Transcendental Blues.” Fifteen tracks in all. Released by Warner Bros. on double vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with an etching on side 4.
