Steve Earle, “You’re The Best Lover That I Ever Had [Porch Recording]”
Steve Earle on a front porch with his guitar, singing the blues. You’ve dreamed the words and phrases: hair hanging down; kisses like wine; turn your light down low. Yet Earle spins them around on you, mixes it up, dazzles — all to the tune of six strings and his clear, low bluesy voice.
“You’re The Best Lover That I Ever Had” has been out or a few months, a pre-release from the upcoming Steve Earle & The Dukes record “Terraplane” (available February 17). Yesterday, New West Records premiered the “porch recording.”
Hear Steve Earle live this month at City Winery NYC with Willy Mason on January 19th, and with Willie Nile on January 22.
