This is the 1987 follow-up to Steve Earle & The Dukes` debut, GUITAR TOWN. Like its predecessor, EXIT O mixes toughness with tang, grit with passion, and social consciousness with rowdy fun. The Dukes were the perfect compliment to Earle`s songs, as they were able to roar as well as weep. "The Rain Came Down" is a mid-tempo ballad that`s suffused with the gorgeous wash of Ken Moore`s organ playing on the choruses. The ensemble can also convincingly tackle a roadhouse rocker like "The Week of Living Dangerously" with guts and aplomb. The "woo-woo" vocals are a surprise out of the blue, and their contrast to the relentless of the surrounding playing can induce chills. Throughout, the sound is vivid and crystalline. Earle`s vocals buzz through and around it all like crazy and elegant embroidery on an old blanket.
