The Mountain (Steve Earle album)

1

The Mountain is the eighth studio album by Steve Earle, backed by the Del McCoury Band, and released in 1999 (see 1999 in music). The album was a significant departure from Earle's previous work, being the first wholly bluegrass album he had written. Earle made the album as a tribute to the founder of bluegrass music, Bill Monroe, who had died in 1996. The album was nominated for a 2000 Grammy Award in the "Best Bluegrass Album" category (Earle's seventh Grammy nomination). Two tracks from the album were released as singles in the UK: "Dixieland" (distributed to radio only) and "The Mountain" (a commercial release). Emmylou Harris performed the song "Pilgrim" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on July 10, 2017. A cover of the song The Graveyard Shift is featured on Wanda Jackson's 2012 album Unfinished Business.
