“Terraplane” takes its title from the 1930s Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit model, which also inspired the Robert Johnson song, “Terraplane Blues.” It is Steve Earle’s 16th studio album since the release of his highly influential 1986 debut Guitar Town. As its title suggests, the album is very much a blues record, some of which was written while Earle toured Europe alone for five weeks with just a guitar, a mandolin and a backpack. Available in Regular and Deluxe editions. Deluxe adds a DVD that features a behind-the-scenes mini documentary, an interview, three live acoustic performances and more.

Steve Earle from 1996 British TV show “Big Mouth” and a cover of the song “Johnny Too Bad” originally recorded by The Slickers which centred on Derrick Crooks, who had been one of the founding members of The Pioneers along with his brother Sydney. In the mid-1960s, The Slickers consisted of the Crooks brothers and Winston Bailey. Derrick was the only constant member, with Abraham Green joining the Crooks brothers at the time “Johnny Too Bad” was recorded. The Slickers have often been wrongly assumed to simply be an alias for The Pioneers due to their similar vocal stylings.  The Slickers toured the United Kingdom and United States on the back of the success of “Johnny Too Bad”, and continued until 1979, when they recorded the Breakthrough album, before splitting up.
