Steve Earle does everything he does with intelligence, creativity, passion, and integrity. In music, these strengths have earned him comparisons to Bruce Springsteen, the ardent devotion of his fans, and the admiration of the media. And Earle does a lot: he is singer, songwriter, producer, social activist, teacher. . . . He's not only someone who makes great music; he's someone to believe in. With the publication of his first collection of short stories, Doghouse Roses, he gives us yet another reason to believe.

Earle's stories reflect the many facets of the man and the hard-fought struggles, the defeats, and the eventual triumphs he has experienced during a career spanning three decades. In the title story he offers us a gut-wrenchingly honest portrait of a nearly famous singer whose life and soul have been all but devoured by drugs. "Billy the Kid" is a fable about everything that will never happen in Nashville, and "Wheeler County" tells a romantic, sweet-tempered tale about a hitchhiker stranded for years in a small Texas town. A story about the husband of a murder victim witnessing an execution addresses a subject Earle has passionately taken on as a social activist, and a cycle of stories features "the American," a shady international wanderer, Vietnam vet, and sometime drug smuggler -- a character who can be seen as Earle's alter ego, the person he might have become if he had been drafted.

Earle is a songwriter's songwriter, and here he takes his writing gift into another medium, along with all the grace, poetry, and deep feeling that has made his music honored around the world.

For babies and fur babies
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a great baby soap. It smells pleasant, lathers well and mostly importantly gets your baby clean without leaving them too dry. The ingredient list is quite healthy. I'm a fan. I've also used this on my pets with great success. My cat and dog both were washed with this. Their skin wasn't irritated, they weren't red looking nor did they have an allergic reaction to the product. I find this to be far better than anything actually for pets. For a small pet this bottle last quite a while. The larger pets you'd need to use more of it more so considering how dirty they can get. Overall for my family's needs this has been a very great buy.

One of the best kids products

Really nice baby and kid shampoo. Never had complaints about getting in eyes. Nice smell, clean. It's not cheap but probably one of the best out there.

Finally a great product
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Arrived well packaged and protected. Great scent, very gentle with my curly hair. Produces a nice lather and leaves hair feeling fresh and clean—not stripped. I also scanned it with Yuka and was really pleased with the good rating for ingredients, which was a big plus for me. Will buy again and try other products from the brand

No Babies, Just An Adult With Eczema
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
No babies here, I bought this for myself because I was recently diagnosed with Eczema and have been searching for something gentle and non-irritating but also natural and a shampoo/body wash combo for quickie showers. I was leaning toward something entirely unscented and marketed toward adult skin conditions, but I happened upon this, did some reading on their website and it actually looked pretty good, so I ordered. I was very curious how it would smell since some reviews say "it stinks" or it smells like men's cologne, etc. yet others say they loved the smell. It really shows how different preferences are, because to ME, I think perfumey mainstream shampoos "stink". I really like the scent of this but to try and help others I'll describe it as best as I can: It's an "earthy" first of all. Someone mentioned patchouli and while it's not nearly as strong as that, it is along the same lines as far as smelling sort of "woody". In the hair it smells a little like Sandalwood for those who know that smell. I have a good nose (and use a lot of essential oils) so right off the bat I picked up both bergamot and cedarwood and sure enough, checked the label and there they are. I could absolutely understand some people thinking of it as somewhat masculine, but it definitely doesn't smell like cologne in my opinion. I'm a little bit of a hippie/earthy type so it's right up my alley but if you prefer flowery, more mainstream scents from a drugstore shampoo you may not care for it. Seems like an unusual scent for a baby product I'll admit, but I like the scent nonetheless and would use it my baby if I had one. The scent remains after my hair is dry but only very lightly. If I lift my long hair to my nose and breathe in it's there but I don't think it's strong enough for anyone else to smell unless they're hugging me or something. I'm sensitive to most scents in bath/body products and this isn't at all overwhelming for me. It worked great, a little thin for my taste but I think all baby shampoos are that way, I can't remember. It made my hair feel soft even while still wet in the shower, and it felt nice and soft after it dried. It doesn't lather a whole lot, but I don't care about lather as long as it works. People tend to be fooled into thinking lather somehow equals effectiveness and that's not true. I've only used it once, but so far it has not aggravated my eczema which was my main reason for buying it, so that's good. My only complaint, and for me it's enough to stop me from buying it again, is the price! Now this is my own fault I realize, but I bought this not fully paying attention to the fact that it's 8 ounces. I saw the size, but it didn't register in my head how small that is. Now, I know nothing about bathing babies and how long a small bottle would last so maybe it's a fine size for that, but this little bottle won't last long at all using it as both shampoo and body wash for an adult, and there's no way I'll pay that much again now that I realize how small it actually is for the price. I saw a 16 ounces size, but it's still too pricey for my budget, I'll just opt for a natural sulfate-free shampoo for grownups when this bottle is done. Too bad too, because I do love the scent.
