I bought Steve Earle's first LP ‘Guitar Town’ in Reckless Record on Islington Green in 1986 - 15 great LPs and nearly 30 years later, he produces ‘Low Highway’.
In my opinion he's one of America's greatest living songwriters and he has a great backing band at present.
This LP has a loose narrative of post Katrina New Orleans and American society post the 2008 economic crash, and whilst many of the songs are from the angle of the downtrodden there is an uplifting seam of hope running through the whole thing. Anyway enough of that...good songs, good narrative, and great musicians (good politics!!)
