Product Details

Steve Earle completing his Texas trinity with this tribute to Jerry Jeff Walker feels like the closing of a long, necessary circle. Walker, who died in October 2021, was the kind of songwriter who made Austin what it became, and "Mr. Bojangles" alone earned him a permanent place in American music history, long before the outlaw country scene claimed him as its own.


Steve Earle has been creating intimate and personal music for well over four decades now. His songwriting has wound itself along a path from Texas to Tennessee and his education came in the form of learning from the best. 2009’s Grammy-nominated record, TOWNES, was a tribute to his dear friend and mentor, Townes Van Zandt. Ten years later Earle released, GUY. An album concentrated on paying homage to the late Guy Clark and the indelible friendship that they had formed in stories told through song. 2022 welcomes the release of JERRY JEFF. A 10-song collection of songs written by the gypsy songman, Jerry Jeff Walker. Featuring hits like, “Mr. Bojangles” and “Gettin’ By”, Earle & The Dukes honor the late Texan by amplifying the concept and sound of each song with a full-band recording.
