Steve quoted on back of dust jacket ("This book is
about my Nashville, the town I've called home for 26 years and have come
to love in spite of itself" – STEVE EARLE),
thanked in the acknowledgments ("Lastly, and most importantly, thanks to
Steve Earle, whose generosity, wit and wisdom make this book possible and
who proves conclusively that not all heroes have feet of clay"), two chapters
about Steve (#5 The Twang Trust and #7 Journey Of Hope), epilogue written
by Steve ("Hey girl, I'm mixing the record and finishing the book and writing
the play and starting the theatre and chasing the kids and teaching the
folkies and changing the world and pedaling as fast as I can.  Your
book's great.  Sara loved it as well."), three photos of Steve (at
the beginning of chapters #5 and #7, and in front of the epilogue), and
is the "thread that runs through the whole book"
 Hardcore
Troubadour – The Live And Near Death Of Steve Earle book (ISBN 1-84115-610-8,
Fourth Estate, UK, November 2002 / ISBN 0-00-714942-5, Fourth Estate, US,
February 2003) – biography of Steve, including 16 pages of b/w photos 
[a rondomly-picked excerpt here (from page 377):  "It was that trait
of Steve's with which Sara had the most difficulty.  'I find it really
frustrating sometimes because he speaks in the definitive, whether or not
he knows what he's talking about.  Generally, he does.  I mean,
he knows so much.  He's got this amazing steel trap mind and once
information goes in, it doesn't come out.  But obviously there are
some things he doesn't know... And sometimes I just have to say, "STOP! 
You might want to preface that statement with, 'What I believe is...' or
, 'Here's how I see it.' "  But that's not the way Steve operates. 
It's just full steam ahead in every way.' "]
