Earle release "Copperhead Road" in advance of live disc
The 15-song record will feature live recordings from Earle's recent 2023 tour, including his classic hits "Copperhead Road," "The Galway Girl" and "Guitar Town."
Earle kicked off his four-month Alone Again: Solo & Acoustic 2024 Summer Tour last month.
"So, October before last I woke up without a band. I had toured with one version of the "Dukes" or another since 1982, but the real continuous bloodline of the outfit died with my longtime bass player, Kelly Looney, in 2019. So, it seemed I'd come to a crossroads. Left? Right? I chose BACK. Back to performing solo like I did in coffeehouses when I first started."
The track list is:
1. The Devil's Right Hand
2. My Old Friend The Blues
3. Someday
4. Guitar Town
5. I Ain't Ever Satisfied
6. Now She's Gone
7. Goodbye
8. Sparkle and Shine
9. South Nashville Blues
10. CCKMP
11. Transcendental Blues
12. It's About Blood
13. Dominick St.
14. The Galway Girl
15. Copperhead Road

Freeway" and "Desperados Waiting For A Train," as well as a slew of songs not known quite so well. Most significantly, it's an album that showcases the breadth of Clark's work. Clark was a songwriter's songwriter, something many of the best Americana songwriters - including Earle - know well. ...
If Steve Earle had never done another album after "Guitar Town" and "Copperhead Road," he'd still have cemented his place in the musical firmament for skillfully creating a ragged and beautiful tapestry from the stray threads of rootsy rock and authentic country. And that may well be why his catalog over the past three decades has been so compelling and satisfying; he has consistently proven that he has nothing to prove.
"So You Wannabe an Outlaw" is the latest ...
In the Instagram era where people use apps to turn digital snapshots into sepia-toned portraits, Steve Earle's 16th studio release finds its place with an old-school sound. It's a Polaroid of rural country, blues and bluegrass frozen in time. But instead of outdated, it plays on the nostalgia of its modern audience.
