About
Steve Earle: 51 Years Of Songs & Stories
Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protégé of Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, he became a master storyteller, with his songs recorded by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, The Pretenders, and countless others.
In 1986 he released Guitar Town, which shot to number one on the country charts and is regarded as a classic of the Americana genre. His 1988 hit "Copperhead Road" was made an official state song of Tennessee in 2023.
Subsequent releases like The Revolution Starts...Now (2004), Washington Square Serenade (2007), and TOWNES (2009) received consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. Jerry Jeff (2022) consisted of Earle’s versions of songs written by Jerry Jeff Walker. His latest album, "Alone Again (Live)", was released on July 12th, 2024.
Earle has published a novel, I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011), and a collection of short stories, Dog House Roses (Houghton Mifflin, 2003). He has produced albums for artists such as Joan Baez (Day After Tomorrow) and Lucinda Williams (Car Wheels on a Gravel Road).
As an actor, Earle has appeared in films and had recurring roles in the HBO series The Wire and Tremé. In 2009 he appeared in the off-Broadway play Samara, for which he also wrote the score that The New York Times described as "exquisitely subliminal." He wrote music for and appeared in Coal Country, for which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. He is the host of the weekly show Hard Core Troubadour on Sirius Radio’s Outlaw Country channel.
Honors include induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (2020) and recognition by the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music (2023). Steve was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry and was officially inducted on September 17th, 2025.
