The Revolution Starts Now by Steve Earle

The Revolution Starts Now came out in 2004 as Steve Earle's 11th studio album, on E-Squared and Artemis, a long way down the road from the Nashville songwriting trade where he started and his 1986 debut, Guitar Town. The title plants a flag before a note has played, and the music sits where Earle has always lived, in the alt-country borderlands where rock, country and folk rub shoulders.

It paid off with the Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album at the 47th Grammy Awards, handed out at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 13, 2005: one of the three Earle has won, all of them in that same category.
