You have got to love this song. One of my favorites from Jerusalem. In fact, one of my favorite Steve Earle songs ever. And I like all of Earle's songs, so that's saying something.
And you're right, Bellyfull of Swans,
a) The lack of Earle songs on here is surprising, and
b) He's got real guts to have written this song at all, especially at the given time. John Walker Lind needed a sympathetic voice, and Steve delivered it.
