Doghouse
Roses: Stories
by Steve Earle
Fans of Steve Earle's music will recognize many familiar themes in
his first collection of short stories, Doghouse Roses. Here are tales of
drug addiction, the nightmare of Vietnam, and the price of failure (or
success) in the music industry. Not surprisingly, the latter topic elicits
some of Earle's best work: in "Billy the Kid," for example, he traces the
meteoric rise of Nashville's last authentic country-music prodigy, whose
early fame was abruptly terminated by a car accident. And in "Doghouse
Roses," Bobby Charles's career nose-dives as he grapples with heroin, speedballs,
and crack: "He suspended all pretence of taking care of himself, going
for days without showering and living on a steady diet of ice cream and
Dr. Pepper. He left the house only to cop, driving straight home and sitting
in the tiny half bath in the hallway for hours with his pipe." Yet the
protagonist, like his creator, finally regains a grip on sobriety, along
with a revived career.
Earle misses the mark in "Taneytown," a first-person narrative told
through the eyes of a mentally retarded black child. And his focus on the
harsh (and very masculine) world of junkies, country music, and execution
chambers can grow a little thin. Still, Doghouse Roses offers up an ample
dose of optimism. After all, in a world where cold-blooded murderers let
innocent men take the rap, and junkies watch their dealers die, the gods
of forgiveness can still be summoned with a single rose sold at a convenience
store--the age-old remedy for men in the proverbial doghouse. --Gregory

Troubadour : The Life and Near Death of Steve Earle
by Lauren St John
Book Description: If Steve Earle weren't a living, breathing
person he'd be a character in a blues song, a raucous ballad that would
tell the tale of a gifted rebel who drank too much, lost his career and
almost all of his women in a blizzard of heroin and crack-cocaine addiction,
and lived wildly and extravagantly on the wrong side of the law.
Along the way, Earle has welded rock to country, the Beatles to Springsteen,
Celtic to Americana, punk to bluegrass and has produced multiple Grammy-nominated
albums and one enduring classic: Guitar Town. Like Hank Williams and Robert
Johnson he has wandered across the American South; like Janis Joplin he
has a huge capacity for self-destruction that matches an appetite for life
in all its extremes. Like Stephen Foster, he is a storyteller and songwriter
of rare skill and force whose sincerity echoes through all his work.
A heroin addict since the age of fourteen, six times married to five
different women, a man who took a four-year 'vacation in the ghetto', Steve
Earle none the less survived. And he came back with an artistic and personal
vision intact, determined to change society for the better even as he seemed
set to live his life for the worse.
Lauren St John has been allowed unrestricted access and cooperation
by Steve, his family and friends. In exchange, she has written a hauntingly
clear-eyed, unvarnished and uncompromising life of one of American music's
talismanic sons.
