Tahoe-bound Steve Earle honors mentor Guy Clark
On his radio show, Steve Earle and guests describe where his music comes from, and on his new album he honors a man who led him to it.
Earle performs Saturday at Crystal Bay Casino Lake Tahoe. He became a renowned country artist in the late 1980s for his albums “Guitar Town” and “Copperhead Road.” Twenty years later, he paid tribute to Townes Van Zandt with the album “Townes,” and a decade later, he has released “Guy,” a collection of 16 songs by his mentor Guy Clark.
