American country, rock & folk singer-songwriter Steve Earle is our "focus beam" artist this week. He's grounded in the roots which you can hear from his influences and contemporaries including Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Duane Eddy, Elvis Presley and Bruce Springsteen. We talk about his incredible and unique career and life as well as a couple of his tunes and one from his late son, Justin Townes Earle. Beth's Lightning Round returns this week with singer-songwriter (and Steve Earle fan), Sam Phelps and a track from him as well. Jammin' James Riley has an Eddie Cochran tune in Rockabilly Rewind and there's tracks from Mike & The Moonpies, Dallas Moore and The Shootouts too!
