The young seeker of Joe Ely's REVERB is the son of -pioneers who came seeking freedom who found so much of it that they couldn't handle it.- He lives in Lubbock, Texas, a town that exists in -a normal state of static chaos.- It is the so-called Summer of Love and 18-year-old Earle hitchhikes the road and rides the rails with only his guitar. He is on an odyssey to find himself.
