    David Byrne: You became a staff writer for a
    while. It's hard for me to imagine.
    
    Steve Earle: Well what happened was, I'd been
    writing songs in Texas and I'd been in town about
    a year and I got a publishing deal. I got a $75 a
    week draw, that's the way they did it in Nashville
    those days, and I got a publishing deal. That went
    up to $100 a week after six months, and then after
    the first option was over with, they decided they
    were going to keep me. I got $150 for the rest of
    the run of the five year contract, so then the
    company sold and I moved to Mexico for a couple
    of years, but I couldn't get them to release me. I
    could live a lot better on $150 a week in San
    Miguel Allende then I could in Nashville. There
    were some people that were willing to support
    writers that they knew were really good, and
    occasionally, we'd get a cut. Nobody thought we
    were going to write a bunch of Barbara Mandrell
    records or anything.
    
    A guy named Noel Fox signed me over there and
    he really knew how to work with writers. I was
    starting to get a little down, I'd been in town for a
    long time, I got there when I was 19. Noel
    encouraged me to write what I write and I sat
    down and wrote ten songs in 11 months, that turned
    out to be Guitar Town, my first album.
    
    David Byrne: No stopping after that.
    
    Steve Earle: Well, there was stopping, but it was
    pretty abrupt. And it was all my fault.
    
    David Byrne: In this show you're playing with Del
    McCoury and his band. And you're doing the next
    record with them. How'd you meet?
    
    Steve Earle: We met relatively recently, just about
    three years ago I guess it was. We knew about
    each other and I had a song called "If You Need A
    Fool". Ken Irwin called me and he said that he's
    recording the Del McCoury Band and they like this
    song but it needs another verse to be a bluegrass
    song. I wrote him another verse real quick and it
    ended up on what's one of the best bluegrass
    records that was ever made called The Blue Side
    of Town. Then I wrote a song for El Corazon
    called "I Still Carry You Around" and I wrote it
    specifically to record with this band and stuck it
    right in the middle of a rock 'n roll record, which I
    thought was really cool. It was fun. And we've
    done a few things together and I decided once and
    for all that I was going to make this record.
    
    We did a show together and we had to rehearse a
    bunch of my other material. I had some traditional
    stuff, and did about an hour show for this. Del and
    the boys started performing with one microphone.
    
    David Byrne: Did you do that a long time ago and
    then stop using just one mic and then go back to it?
    
    Del McCoury: Sure did. We used one mic in the
    middle '60's. They started putting multiple mics out
    and so we started back about maybe two years
    ago, off and on, we'd just use one mic and no
    monitors.
    
    David Byrne: There's a whole choreography that
    has to be worked out.
    
    Del McCoury: Actually it just comes natural.
    
    Steve Earle: I was proud of myself, the first time
    we did it together, that I didn't put Del's eye out.
    And it's even harder with both of us playing
    because we're both playing guitar and they're the
    two biggest instruments that are mobile up there.
    But the way it works is, the lead instruments are on
    one side of the stage and Del comes up in the
    middle.
    
    David Byrne: Nobody's a lefty, right?
    
    Steve Earle: No. Thank god. Left-handed banjo
    players need not apply. It would be dangerous.
    
    David Byrne: How do the bluegrass people take to
    you in that context?
    
    Del McCoury: I think they do. For one thing, he
    writes such great songs and he's a good singer,
    great singer. And I didn't know before, he's a great
    guitar player. And so he has it all.
    
    Steve Earle: I had played some bluegrass
    festivals, none of the really hard core ones. I
    played Telluride and I played "Merlefest", the
    Merle Watson Memorial Festival with the Train
    Band and people came back to the station and
    nobody threw anything at us. Actually a few
    people have gone out of their way to come up to
    me and say that they thought that this was good for
    bluegrass music. Some people it's going to upset
    and I'm going to have some fans that are not going
    to get it. My last record label certainly didn't get it.
    I ended up leaving over making this record. I'm a
    songwriter. Bluegrass is the original alternative
    country music. Bluegrass players have to decide
    that they're going to do something just for the love
    of the music, because there really isn't a way at
    this point to get rich playing bluegrass music.
    There was a time when Bill Monroe was a big star
    and there was a time when Bill's band was a
    mainstream part of country music but an entire
    genre of music has grown out of what this one guy
    made up, and not very many people can say that.
    He literally, single-handedly, invented an
    American art form.
