SPECIAL GUEST
 Steve
Earle
Steve Earle. The songs of country rock musician Steve
Earle have always drawn critical praise and a loyal group of fans. His
music divides naturally into the periods before and after 1994, when he
went to prison and kicked his lifelong heroin and cocaine addiction. Last
fall, Earle published his first book of short stories, Doghouse Roses
(Houghton Mifflin). He's also written a play about Karla Faye Tucker,
the killer executed in Texas. His most recent album is "Transcendental
Blues" (Artemis).
