Eighteen live recordings of songs spanning Earle's twenty-five year career as one of American music's most powerful voices

Clocking in at 94 minutes,Just An American Boy - THE AUDIO DOCUMENTARY contains eighteen live recordings of songs spanning Earle's twenty-five year career as one of American music's most powerful voices, including "Guitar Town", "Copperhead Road", "Jerusalem" as well as on-stage monologues on topics ranging from Steve's hometown to his opposition to the death penalty. Just An American Boy - THE AUDIO DOCUMENTARY serves as the most comprehensive representation of the live show that UK-based publication The Guardian describes as a "display of how politics plus passion equals the most exciting music".

Just An American Boy - THE AUDIO DOCUMENTARY also includes the first-ever released track by Steve's son, Justin Earle, "Time You Waste". The album is the companion piece to Amos Poe's documentary about Earle, Just An American Boy. Poe is best known for his work on the legendary punk film "Blank Generation". The film was screened in 2003 at the North by Northeast festival and has been praised by Billboard Magazine and Rolling Stone. This release will mark Steve's fourth album on the E-Squared / Artemis record label. His previous releases are 2000's TRANSCENDENTAL BLUES, 2002's SIDETRACKS and most recently, 2003's JERUSALEM.
