In the tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Woody Guthrie and even Bruce Springsteen, Earle has a knack for hard-nosed poetry.
-
Another sterling and fearless entry in the Earle discography.
-
Entertainment WeeklyJerusalem is consciously ugly and gnarled, its characters troubled and troubling. [4 Oct 2002, p.153]
-
Earle's strongest release in some time.
-
Q MagazineMost of the music here finds Earle in admirable form. [Oct 2002, p.106]
-
One of his most memorable recordings.
-
Unfortunately, for every song that pulls at the heartstrings or prompts a minor political epiphany, Earle has included muddled-headed efforts that don't pass muster.
