...tunesmith's latest offering finds him striking a happy truce between his various, sometimes adversarial personae. Typically, Earle's affect has alternated between Good Steve and Bad Steve: On traditional and more introspective material, he tends toward the former, but when he rocks out he often adopts a much raunchier vocal delivery, as if singing like he's gargling with Valvoline will somehow boost his hardass cred. For the most part, Earle sounds at ease and unaffected on his most eclectic offering to date, allowing us to focus on the highly satisfying songwriting, which draws from Irish music, bluegrass...

That didn't last. A raunchier brand of action comedy co-opted the blaxploitation genre; Schwarzenegger and other supertough white dudes won the affections of the black audience. And still Hollywood would not make movies that scanned the spectrum of African-American life. The top black stars of the '80s, Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, were segregated from many hero roles because they were seen only as inspired clowns. In buddy movies with white co- stars, they rarely got the girl -- any girl. They were Hollywood's best- paid second-class citizens...
