ALBUM RELEASE EVENT

STEVE EARLE

LIVE PERFORMANCE

MUSIC MILLENNIUM – 3158 E BURNSIDE - 503-231-8926

FRIDAY, JUNE 16TH, TIME: 6PM

GENRE: COUNTRY/AMERICANA

NEW RELEASE: “SO YOU WANNA BE AN OUTLAW”

PRE-BUY THE NEW ALBUM TO GUARANTEE ADMISSION!

 

If you ever had any doubt about where Steve Earle’s musical roots are planted, his new collection, So You Wannabe an Outlaw, makes it perfectly plain.  “There’s nothing ‘retro’ about this record,” he states, “I’m just acknowledging where I’m coming from.”  So You Wannabe an Outlaw is the first recording he has made in Austin, Texas.  Earle has lived in New York City for the past decade but he acknowledges, “Look, I’m always gonna be a Texan, no matter what I do. And I’m always going to be somebody who learned their craft in Nashville. It’s who I am.”

In the 1970s, artists such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Paycheck, Billy Joe Shaver and Tompall Glaser gave country music a rock edge, some raw grit and a rebel attitude. People called what these artists created “outlaw music.” The results were country’s first Platinum-certified records, exciting and fresh stylistic breakthroughs and the attraction of a vast new youth audience to a genre that had previously been by and for adults. In the eighties, The Highwaymen was formed by Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings. Their final album “The Road Goes On Forever” released in 1996 began with the Steve Earle song “The Devil’s Right Hand.”

Steve Earle’s 2017 collection, So You Wannabe an Outlaw, is an homage to outlaw music. Earle is backed on the new album by his long time band The Dukes (guitarist Chris Masterson, fiddle player Eleanor Whitmore, bassist Kelly Looney, and new members drummer Brad Pemberton and pedal steel player Ricky Ray Jackson).

I was fortunate to catch his record store show in Austin a couple years ago. If you have the chance, go to one of these. The stories he tells are awesome. 20150212_171624-1328x747.jpg

Steve Earle is opening for Los Lobos on the 9/14, Paramount Theater, Huntington, NY show.

Is this Steve Earl album any good Dave?

I'm thinking of 'possibly' going to this 9/14 co-bill with Los Lobos.

His take on 'fixin to die' from this album is so badass!

Thanks E. I'll grab a ticket after dinner. 

Haven't seen Los Lobos in years too.

I like what I've heard from the new album, Bluelight.  

 

Lobos and Steve are a great combo.  I saw that bill at the Zoo a couple of years ago.  Steve warmed up for Los Lobos, then joined them for a cover of The Sir Douglas Quintet's "She's About A Mover" with Steve joining Cesar Rosas on guitar while David Hidalgo played drums.  

 

 

Have fun at the show.

 

I had to skip the show here.  The Orioles were in town, and I went to all three games.  It was weird having his bus parked outside all day and talking with his crew, then skipping out, but I usually get just one shot a year to see the O's .

i like what i've heard on the new album
