Trade ReviewSteve Earle brings to his prose the same authenticity, poetic spirit, and cinematic energy he projects in his music.
I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive is like a dream you can't shake, offering beauty and remorse, redemption in spades -- Patti Smith
A doctor, a Mexican girl, an Irish priest, the ghost of Hank Williams, and JFK the day before he dies. This subtle and dramatic book is the work of a brilliant songwriter who has moved from song to orchestral ballad with astonishing ease -- Michael Ondaatje
Earle's language is vividly poetic, his humour is never clunky and he always convinces, whether working on a cinematic or intimate scale -- Sharon O'Connell * Time Out *
A rich, raw mix of American myth and hard social reality, of faith and doubt, always firmly rooted in a strong sense of character * Charles Frazier *
Steve Earle writes like a shimmering neon angel -- Kinky Friedman
