The US singer-songwriter Steve Earle has been interviewed several times over the years on on his political opposition to the war on terror and death row.
But more recently his appearance on the cult US television series The Wire has taken him back to the issue of drugs which has dogged most of his life and the life of close friend the musician Townes Van Zandt.
Nicola Stanbridge met him as he starts in UK tour to discuss his tribute album to Van Zandt and the future of his acting career.
This is an extended version of the broadcast interview.
