    The recovering dope fiend's songs cut even closer to the heart. [Aug 2013, p.104]

    The good folks at Shout Factory didn’t opt to only offer these discs a second time around, but instead provided added enticement via two bonus extras, a stunning live recording from Nashville’s Polk Theater, recorded around the same time as I Feel Alright, and a live DVD from the Cold Creek Correctional Facility where Earle had earlier been incarcerated.

    These recordings are the sound of a man back in the game and ready to pounce. [No. 100, p.52]

    While it doesn’t include some of his best post-jail efforts, the set documents the beginning of one of the greatest second acts in rock history.

    With the incentive of live material for old fans and the sheer brilliance on offer when these records are taken together, The Warner Bros. Years is a powerful testament to Earle's second act.

    The album [El Corazon], and by relation the whole Warner Bros Years boxset, is a confident announcement not of return but of complete rejuvenation.
