Most of what I know about Burke's history comes from Guaralnick's interviews with him. But what I felt when I talked to Burke myself was something else entirely—perhaps best described as spiritual refreshment—and it's something that I will carry with me from here. He's a Philadelphia native who loves country music and a former "wonderboy preacher," with 21 children, 89 grandchildren

Neil Young always makes it into my stack of CDs designated for long car rides. There's something about the momentum of his songs, especially the ones performed with Crazy Horse, that fits my motoring mood. Maybe it can be credited to Young's known love of automobiles that make his songs road-ready
