Steve Earle es un cantautor estadounidense de música country y rock, nacido en la base militar "Fort Monroe", en la ciudad de Hampton, Virginia. Aunque es más conocido por la música, también ejerce ocasionalmente como escritor y activista político. En sus primeros años de su carrera como músico fue visto como uno de los salvadores y renovadores de la música country, y comenzaron a llamarle "el nuevo Bruce Springsteen" (aunque sea sólo seis años menor y nunca haya alcanzado el mismo nivel de ventas que Springsteen).
