Get yourselves over to Amoeba in the Haight this Thursday at 6pm for an exclusive engagement with singer-songwriter Steve Earle! I love Steve Earle and have heard him play lots of times in all types of venues. This will be by far the most intimate and I am kicking myself hard that I will be unable to make it (my oldest has a dance recital at the exact same time....grrrrr). Between this and the showing of Amelie in Dolores Park at 8:15, you've got an entire FREE evening. Steve Earle’s new album Townes gets released the day before and the 15-song set is comprised of songs written by Earle’s friend and mentor, the late singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt.
When speaking about Townes, Earle stated, "This may be one of the best records I've ever made." The album features such guests as Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine/The Nightwatchman, Steve's wife and acclaimed singer-songwriter Allison Moorer, Dennis Crouch, Tim O'Brien, Darrel Scott, Shad Cobb and Steve's son, Justin Townes Earle. The songs selected for Townes were the ones that meant the most to Earle and the ones he personally connected to. Some of the selections chosen were songs that Earle has played his entire career (“Pancho and Lefty,” “Lungs,” “White Freightliner Blues”).
Go see this, you will not be disappointed.
