The Revolution Starts Now (Remastered)

Description

Warner Bros. Records will release remastered versions of six classic Steve Earle albums in September 2017.

Earle rushed The Revolution Starts Now to stores ahead of the 2004 presidential election, and given that timing and the songwriters righteous lefty stance, the discs topical content should surprise exactly no one. Even still, its light on invective, allowing Earles deftly drawn characters to make his points for him. Plainspoken people swept up by larger events, they include the truck-driving protagonist of rig-rocker Home to Houston, who dodges rockets while running supplies in Iraq, the disaffected vet in The Gringos Tale, and the American soldiers and Palestinian boys whose lives run parallel in Rich Mans War.
