    ... the books and move on - but I felt like I had to say something about Hardcore Troubadour
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 1, 2015*

I generally don’t bother with writing reviews - I just rate the books and move on - but I felt like I had to say something about Hardcore Troubadour. Steve Earle has got an incredible story, but I’m not certain Lauren St. John was the voice to tell it. An English writer of children’s animal stories somehow doesn’t capture what, in my mind, Steve Earle is all about.St. John’s writing is awkward at times and at other times veers into the strange, such as when she quotes Earle as using the word “bonnet” in reference to a car hood. I obviously don’t know Steve Earle, but I have lived in Texas and my guess is that he has never in his life used the word bonnet in the context of an automobile. St. John also annoyingly refers several times to the band Tesla as Tessler and spells Steven Tyler’s first name as “Stephen.” Whether this is sloppy proofreading or an overall lack of familiarity with her broader subject is a question I was left asking.I very recently read Rocks, Joe Perry’s autobiography, and I think Earle could have benefited from writing his story his way guided by a co- (or ghost- ) writer. I realize Hardcore Troubadour is 10 years old now, but my hope is that at some point Steve Earle will write his own story in his own, truer, voice.

    Engaging Read
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 25, 2010*

I'd recently become intertsted in STeve Earle, buying a couple of his older CD's, whilst I am not a fan of country music Earle does tend to cross genre's. After finding myself fascinated by the lyrics of his songs I did a little research and purchased this title.As a read it was very entrtaining and well written, whilst delivering a warts and all picture of Earle and his life, it was quite sympathetic to Earle. I thought perhaps the book glossed over the negative aspects of Earles life, not giving much commentary to his parting from Managers and those who had worked with him and helped him through his journey. As mentioned the book is sympathetic to Earle and certainly not judgemental

    Confusing look at Steve Earle
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 12, 2015*

Author's style jumped rather than using a continuous timeline. She contradicted herself in a few placed and appeared to use the wrong wife's name . A linear approach would have been much easier to follow and avoided much confusion. There were also inconsistencies with Earle's parents story as well. What I was able to glean as fact was interesting and gave insight into Earle's life.
