SPECIAL THANKS
My deepest thanks are to Bob Brown. He suggested it was time to record a collection of songs by the artists who had most inspired me to be a singer. It was my great fortune to personally know nine of these legendary artists. Bob helped me choose the material and assembled the right combination of players. The sessions were organized so well, we completed this record in less than two weeks’ time.
I want to thank all the wonderful players for giving me a comfort level that allowed us to use many of my “first takes.” This genre of music deserves that spontaneity and energy.
I want to especially thank Mike Schermer. For me to really sing the blues, I absolutely depend on the inspiration of a great guitarist. I’ve sung with some of the greatest ever. “Mighty” Mike is one of them.

My sincere thanks as well to ....
Christoffer “Kid” Andersen for all his amazing audio/visual skills.
Matt Etgen, Caroline Barfield, and the whole New West team for all their help and enthusiastic support. It means a lot.
Paul Moore and his assistant Stephanie Lavoie for making the photo shoot an enjoyable experience.
Chrysti Marie for hair and make-up and good company at that same shoot.
Bill Bentley for his long time support.
Ari Rios for his musical ideas and helping our sessions run smoothly.
Annie Sampson, Dorothy Morrison, and Tracy Nelson, my comrades in The Blues Broads.
James Cacciatore and Jocelyn Knight for their photography and videography expertise and friendship.

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes

supported by 8 fans who also own “Ace Of Blues”

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
