Holly Gleason, Rolling Stone, 26 January 1989
STEVE EARLE recently released his third album, Copperhead Road, and married his fifth wife, Teresa. Considering that last New Year's Day found him in a Dallas jail – charged with assaulting a policeman – 1988 didn't turn out to be such a bad year after all.
