New city, new themes, but reassuringly familiar sound October 4, 2007

4 days after it's release, how come no one has reviewed this album yet? Steve Earle is a safe pair of hands these days, never straying far from the blueprint established over 12 quality studio albums. The move to New York has resulted in some subtle new twists on that sound - 'Satellite Radio' for example, but long time fans will find plenty to reassure them on this album. It's the usual blend of folk-country-blues, but reinvigorated, Earle's new home gives him something new to write about, and the city of New York features in several of the songs, most overtly 'City Of Immigrants'. It's country, only not country, folk only not folk - who cares what it is when the songs are this good. The extra DVD is a 35 minute interview during which Steve Earle talks twenty to the dozen with infectious enthusiasm about everything from Greenwich Village to a local guitar shop. There are also live versions of 3 songs, one of which is the almost obligatory duet with Allison Moorer, 'Days Aren't Long Enough', nowhere near as cloying as it could have been. In fact, this is a refreshing album from all points of view, the extra DVD providing the extra bit of cream in the coffee. A must-have for all Steve Earle fans, and a good place to start for the uninitiated.
