EARLE / SUPERSUCKERS, STEVE

For this EP, Sub Pop Records paired rootsy-country artist Steve Earle with rootsy-grunge band The Supersuckers. The result is the logical conclusion of the directions both had pursued in the years prior. Earle was wrapping himself in an ever-edgier sound, while the Seattle band was kicking up more and more dust in the countryside since their country-soaked MUST'VE BEEN HIGH was released in 1997. The two forces team up for a song from each of their respective catalogs (Supersuckers' "Creepy Jackalope Eye" and Earle's "Angel is the Devil") and a perfectly suited take on The Rolling Stones' "Before They Make Me Run." The set is rounded out with the original versions of the first two songs. Sub Pop has also offered a similar project where Jimmie Dale Gilmore is paired with Mudhoney.
