Sandy you are so right....Steve Earle is a gift from God, his music and his heart have carried a lot of us through bad, and good, times....

But, don't forget Gram Parsons...I saw him in Austin, Texas, in 1973 when I was a junior in high school, right before his death...he, too, was an inspiration for Steve Earle...and all of the "country" music today is just the same old same old to me....country died with Waylon, I think, but Steve Earle and a few others keep the better part of it still kickin....

Man..everyone steals from everyone. Theres only 12 notes.

Judged:

Do the combinatorics on 12 things arranged even 12 at a time (all 12 semi-tones played at once ... a ridiculous case, but illustrative). It's 12 factorial or 479,001,600 at minimum. Now consider that there are infinite possibilities for the amount of "space" (silence) between any two voicings of those chords. The number is again infinite although some sequences will be perceived as equal if the difference is small enough. "Theres (sic) only 12 notes" is a cop out used by thieves and lazy SOBs.

Hello all... this post is really old but when watching talladega nights I heard the song I feel alright in the background (sorry to say, I don't believe I had ever heard of Steve Earle before) but I thought WOW! That sounds just like Kerosene... Of course I found out that I Feel Alright was first (duh!). After some researching on the web I found the following article, pretty surprising, and nice to know people still do give credit where it is due... check it out...

Gotta laugh at you all discussing whether or not someone ripped off portions of Earle's song.

Steve Earle RIPPED ME OFF along with hundreds of other valid ticket holders to a performance in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Earle subsequently refused to make good to all the people ripped-off.

Steve Earle is a thieving bastard - nothing less.

Man, I'm late to this discussion, but I just sumbled upon this old thread. My daughter likes Miranda Lambert so I've heard that song and always thought it sounded like Steve Earle's song. Then again, listen to Van Morrision's "Gloria" and then play "I Feel Alright"...

What was the reason for the cancellation? It sucks that you were ripped of the cash by promoters and/or Earle? The biggest rip was missing the show. I take it you won't be buying his new album "Townes" anytime soon, eh?

Actually Miranda gives Steve full cowriter credit, she says its due to listening to so much of him and it just coming out in her own writing.. Mirandas Mother also baby sat Earles kids so Miranda does have a close relationship with him . I consider them both in my top artists ever ....

Yet another young country artist is ripping Country Rocker Steve Earle.
If you listen to Miranda Lamberts latest single out on the air "Kerosene," it sounds a lot like Steve's "Feel Alright."
She uses some of the same phrases and it's even in Steves style. Does anyone know if she asked to do this or does she have the right to do this? I've been listening to Steve Earle for more than 18 years - and just hate to see another snot nosed brat break into the music scene while ripping off another artist...and of course no one mentions it on the air - nothing! New country - for the most part -sucks anyways - but this takes the cake. Anyone care to comment? I'd love to hear anyones thought on this .

As a Marxist, why should Earle care if anyone "rips him off"? There's no such thing as private property!
