Review by Jacinta's Flower

The album The Road And The Sky by Steve Earle And The Dukes is a beautiful blend of country and rock music. The album is a tribute to the late, great Tom Petty, and features covers of some of his most iconic songs, as well as some original tracks.

Steve Earle's signature raspy voice is perfectly suited to the gritty, heartfelt lyrics of both the covers and original tracks. The Dukes provide a tight, driving rhythm section, while the guitars and keyboards add layers of texture and melody.

The album opens with a cover of "American Girl," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Other standout tracks include "You Wreck Me," "Mary Jane's Last Dance," and "Runnin' Down A Dream."

The original tracks on the album are just as strong as the covers, with "The Road And The Sky" and "The Last Time" being particular highlights. The lyrics on these tracks are reflective and introspective, but also hopeful and optimistic.

Summary by Jacinta's Flower

The Road And The Sky is a fantastic album that pays tribute to one of the greatest songwriters of all time, while also showcasing Steve Earle's own considerable talents. Fans of both Earle and Petty will find much to love on this record.
