Query: Nothing Transcendental Here

Like a few other reviewers (yes, we are in the minority) I really, really wanted to like this album, my first by Steve Earle. I purchased it after buying Jimmie Dale Gilmore's new CD, based on Amazon's recommendation and the many, many positive reviews already posted. However, I'm disappointed in the lack of variety in the selections and in the production. The music absolutely so overwhelms Mr. Earle's vocals that half the time I had no idea what he was singing about. On the other hand, I can't say enough about Mr. Gilmore's new CD.
