JERUSALEM was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
For a singer-songwriter who proclaims himself "somewhat to the left of Mao" it's no surprise that Steve Earle has drawn the ire of the right for challenging the status quo, particularly around the one-year anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks. The bone of conention on his 2002 outing JERUSALEM is "John Walker's Blues," a moody, mid-tempo number that attempts to explore the reasoning behind "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh's actions. It triggered a wave of knee-jerk reactions accusing Earle of being everything from the second coming of Hanoi Jane to a washed-up anti-American opportunist.
Conservatives will likewise scoff at his trenchant commentaries on illegal immigration (the Augie Meyers-flavored Tex-Mex shuffle "What's A Simple Man To Do") and the transformation of baby boomers from idealistic revolutionaries to self-absorbed merchants of greed (the chugging rocker "Amerika v. 6.0 [The Best We Can Do]). Earle brifely changes gears to duet with Emmylou Harris on the gorgeous lament "I Remember You," and wields a Dylanish harmonica and twangy guitar to end on a high note with a closing title track that optimistically awaits the coming of peace to the Middle East.

Rovi

Sixth album in six years for alt-country hero Steve Earle. 'Jerusalem' features Emmylou Harris on 'I Remember You', 'Go Amanda' penned by Sheryl Crow and the controversial 'John Walker's Blues' - a song about US-born Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh.|
Rovi

米国人タリバン兵を歌った“John Walker's Blues”が〈反愛国的〉だと物議を醸しているスティーヴ・アールの最新アルバム。「最近、自分をアメリカでもっとも孤独な男のように感じる」という彼の言葉が象徴している自国への苛立ち、そこで暮らすことの息苦しさが憂鬱に噴出している。それだけに本作を締めくくる“Jerusalem”(あの“Imagine”に通ずる希望の歌)がより印象的。エミルー・ハリスとのデュエットもあり。

コンスタントにアルバムをリリースしているスティーヴですが、本作にはアメリカ人でありながらアルカイダ兵となったJohn Walkerを歌った話題曲を収録。アメリカで話題になっている(4)やエミルー・ハリスが参加した(9)など、この作品の売りは多い。ただそう言った話題性だけでなく、彼のアメリカン・ミュージックのルーツにふれる音楽性も充分に味わえる作品です。 (C)DaKaRa
