Steve Earle And The Supersuckers EP - 1997

The Supersuckers decided to up the country ante during
the recording of their fourth album, Must\'ve Been High,
turning themselves into some kind of genuine cow-punks
(the group was always punkier and rowdier than any \'80s
cowpunk outfit).

So, it was only fitting that the band followed the album
with a split-single with the punkiest country singer of
the \'80s, Steve Earle.

In classic Sub Pop tradition - think the classic
Mudhoney/Jimmie Dale Gilmore split single, in particular,
but there\'s loads others - the Suckers tackle an Earle
song (\"Angel is the Devil\") and Earle covers one of their
tunes (\"Creepy Jackalope Eye\"), then after a joint cover
(the Rolling Stones\' \"Before They Make Me Run,\" the
definitive Keith anthem), the originals are offered up.

Earle does better with \"Creepy Jackalope Eye\" than the
Suckers do with Angel is the Devil,\" though it could be
argued from the originals that he had more to work with
than the band.

Unfortunately, they manage to tame \"Before They Make Me
Run,\" taking it slower than it needs to be and truncating
the original riff. Which leaves the single as a mixed bag
- a good cover and original from Earle, a good original
from the Supersuckers, and a pair of so-so covers.

Not a terrible average, but not a great one, either.
