Musician Steve Earle is a self described “lefty redneck.” Earle started his musical career as a teenager singing against the Vietnam War. A decade ago, he fought off a heroin habit that landed him in prison... since then, he has been active on behalf of prison reform and against the death penalty. Earle stopped by Studio 360 to talk with Kurt and play some songs off his new album, The Revolution Starts Now.
