Description: Musician, author, activist, and reigning weight-loss champ Steve Earle was never one to let the mainstream affect his art. The rock/country guru has been churning out middle-finger-to-the-man anti-hits for years now, and his 2005 album "The Revolution Starts ... Now" may have been his bluntest yet. Given his dedication to causes like prisoner rights, labor outsourcing and fair health care, Earle's indignant message is one of hope ... and kick-ass alt-country and rock and roll. His latest "Washington Square Serenade" enlisted an unlikely producer: John King of The Dust Brothers. The result is a collision of traditional and the contemporary sounds: scratchy drum loops facing off against mandolins and dobros. Earle's new bride Allison Moorer joins him on this tour as a collaborator and opening act.
