Following his rapid rise to fame resulting from these early albums, Earle disappeared from public life for three years, before re-appearing in 1990 with a new album The Hard Way. It was Earle's highest-peaking song to date in the United States and has sold millions of digital copies. The album's title track portrays a Vietnam veteran who uses his family background in running moonshine to become a marijuana grower/seller. Released on Uni Records, Copperhead Road has been described as "a quixotic project that mixed a lyrical folk tradition with hard rock and eclectic Irish influences". His first album Guitar Town from 1986 sparked interest which was consolidated with 1988's superb Copperhead Road. Earle started his career as a songwriter in Nashville then moved to Texas and formed a band called The Dukes. Stephen Fain Earle is an American rock, country and folk singer-songwriter, record producer, author and actor born 1955 in Fort Munroe, Hampton Virginia.
