Earl Brown on Meridian Part 2 - Steve Earle

By Tracy Ross

Murray, KY – Best known as an actor, Earl has been a life-long music fan. His earliest memory of the power of music was hearing Hank Williams on his grandmother's record player. Hank's haunting "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" would often bring the three-year old Earl to tears. The fact that someone long since dead could have created a thing so powerful as to make a toddler mournful decades later left an indelible impression upon the youngster.

Brown met musician Steve Earle at an airport and a personal and professional friendship begins. He talks to WKMS' Tracy Ross about early experience in the music industry.
