BrianMcCMar 5, 2006Great stuff! Gripping melodies, intelligent writing, strong theme....it's all here! You can't lose on this one, even if you are a conservative and not politically left as Earl is.

JeffS.Aug 17, 2002Would have gave it a 10 except for "The Boy Who Never Cried". This record got me through some of my own trancendental blues.

Jun 6, 2015The best Steve Earl album, in my opinion. Every song is a keeper. He has never sounded better, and his band if so tight. Highly recommended. This the comeback album.

Transcendental Blues measures up to the tough artistic standards Earle has set for himself since 1986's Guitar Town.

Steve Earle adds yet another masterwork to his disparate collection of classics...
