Country rocker Steve Earle began his career as a songwriter in Nashville, where he scored a 1981 hit after “When You Fall in Love” was recorded by Johnny Lee. He launched his own career as a performer by releasing his first EP in 1982, though it was his 1986 debut album Guitar Town that first earned him widespread notice when the eponymous lead single peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot Country chart. The song also helped win Earle two 1987 Grammy Awards, for Best Country Song and Best Country Male Vocalist. His music includes personal introspection, including lyrics dealing with his one-time heroin addiction and legal problems.
