Steve Earle: I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive
New West
Steve Earle’s latest —his first set of new tunes in four years—shares its title with the singer/songwriter’s forthcoming first novel, and with one of Hank Williams’ classic tunes. While, sonically, there are few similarities between them—other than both slotting as country—there are truths and miseries at the core of this T Bone Burnett-produced collection that would’ve made ole’ Hank proud. “The Gulf of Mexico” addresses life “in the days before the spill,” an age-old way of life now lost to human folly, while “Meet Me in the Alleyway” is a swampy, Dr. John-esque, bluesy vamp. “Heaven or Hell” is a big-beat duet with Earle’s wife, Allison Moorer, and the plaintive “The City,” Earle’s Grammy-winning contribution to HBO’s superb Treme, wraps up the set—one of Earle’s finest in years.
