Steve Earle - My Uncle (Return to Sin City)

Steve Earle doing an absolutely excellent version of the Flying Burrito Brothers (Parsons/Hillman)
From Return to Sin City

[@joepalooka2145]

Right on, great performance of a great tune that brings back a lot of memories of those dark times of the Vietnam war. I sure do remember it well. Vancouver and Canada was indeed the destination for many young Americans who refused to fight and die in an unjust war. They were welcomed and treated with respect and dignity, and many remained to become full Canadian citizens with families and lives of their own.

In 1996 while visiting Ottawa for my grad public policy program we met several students who were kids of some of those brave people who refused to kill/die for an unjust war. We had a really interesting conversation. Btw, Jimmy Durante wants his moniker back. 🤣🤣

Why Gram is not in the country music Hall of fame iis beyond me . In my truest opinion he was truly a pioneer of country music.

[@mikechiropolos3324]

that's bc Gram's Country was punkaf in the best possible way

[@chesterproudfoot9864]

That was fantastic, what a great tune to cover. We need more artists like Steve Earle doing similar material. Thanks for sharing!

[@princessofhesse]

God bless Steve Earle, he's been my hero, for so many reasons, for years and years. His music is honest and pure and good.

Not seen earle in LIVERPOOL UK since 2014. When he asked us to keep coming to his shows before vanishing. Sadly , This coincides with a huge drop in the quality of his recent covers albums. Nothing lasts forever , still i love earle. God bless. Enough of a back catelogue to keep me goin for life . Thanks

Vancouver might just be my kind of town...I agree

[@bluestarlighting29]

Since day hear Steve Earle on the radio stations one I remember very well had call to request song back 1986. From there I got requests more and more. I had call from a pay phone back then. Still remember that day, Steve Earle one greatest artist and talented singer and songwriter and much more. He has gift. God bless him. Truly one greatest hit song. Always enjoy listening to his music though years. Kind grow on you though years, I meet friends know him and his music. Fans truly love him and Jim Lauderdale. Back up vocals. He great artist and talented singer and songwriter and songs George Strait for movie Pure Country. Both greatest artist today. Hope pray get Music City Walk of Fame or Hall of Fame. 100%.

[@kennyfields5494]

[@Dropsy517]

[@UweRayer]

Gooooood.

[@themelted4614]

Beast of tune , earle after townes v z shaved his beard wen he was malkeed

[@alabastardmasterson]

Jim Lauderdale has literally been everywhere...always

[@princessofhesse]

It is older, he's pretty shaggy now, but still incredible.

[@hardlines5472]

Mandolin ... 🤣 A case of bottle over talent, bless him! Brilliant though.

[@berellaca1]

Do you have the cover of Luxary Liner he did before this song. I have this tribute concert on DVD and it's great. I wish they would put it on CD or on iTunes or something,

[@GildasOpitz]

Is this available on DVD?What a great performance!

[@banjobandit3270]

Jim Lauderdale has been the same age for the past 10 years

[@42jojolove]

Will always love you steve -even if my 1st husbands name was steve also and ending up a real jerk!!

[@Mandotwang]

THIS is music. And...has Steve cut his hair/beard/neatened up, or is this an older clip? He looks great here.

[@fairfieldschoolofmusic9929]

What exactly is happening with this mandolin solo?

[@aolstudios1504]

love it!

[@D1it4FN]

From the smile on Steves face as it wrapped up he might have an inkling.

[@RJ4960]

Epilepsy? :0)

[@immedgerto]

For anyone so inclined to wonder, that's a 50's US Strad mandolin that has seen much better days. I have no idea what the solo was.

[@venessian8579]

Marvin Etzioni aka "Mandolin Man" just having some fun.

[@darlincommitme]

no. I think it might be Tim O'brien, but definitely not Costello. The band is not credited on the DVD, but if it was Costello he would have been credited and have done a song.

[@alabastardmasterson]

darlincommitme Tim O'Brien? No

[@RUBYSSHOES]

His name is Marvin Etzioni

[@stevelunney]

who is the banjo player?

[@MarcelloNicolas]

Was that guy on mando having a seizure?

[@tortugabob]

He ain't no Ry Cooder is he?

[@gabeorvis6860]

what was that? I don't think Steve saw that coming either. SE - you are doing a solo, Mando - No. SE - Yes you are. Mando - ok watch out.

[@Singlpilot]

Is it just my perception, or did the mandolin player have a seizure during his solo???LOL

[@LBjim]

I love this song.....
