Steve Earle & The Dukes Jerry Jeff (CD)

(New West) 13 tracks, digisleeve

Steve Earle has been making intimate and personal music for more than four decades. His songwriting has made its way from Texas to Tennessee, and his education has come in the form of learning from the best. The 2009 Grammy-nominated album TOWNES was a tribute to his dear friend and mentor Townes Van Zandt. Ten years later, Earle released GUY. An album focused on paying homage to the late Guy Clark and the indelible friendship between the two, which they told in the form of stories in song. 2022 will see the release of the album JERRY JEFF. A 10-song collection of songs by gypsy songman Jerry Jeff Walker. With hits like "Mr. Bojangles" and "Gettin' By," Earle & The Dukes pay tribute to the late Texan by reinforcing the concept and sound of each song with a full band recording.
