“Copperhead Road” (Acoustic) [Live] is one of Steve’s most beloved songs and his most streamed, standing at over 175,000,000+ million on Spotify. The song is so cherished by people living in Tennessee that on April 20, 2023, it became the 11th official state song of the state of Tennessee. On May 24, 2024, there was also an unveiling of the official Copperhead Road Landmark in honor of Steve Earle’s “Copperhead Road” which honored the song’s local connection and significance. “Copperhead Road” (Acoustic) [Live] is just one of many tracks off his upcoming album. The 15-song record will feature live recordings from Earle’s recent 2023 tour, including his classic hits “Copperhead Road,” “The Galway Girl,” “Guitar Town,” and more. The full album tracklisting is below.
Additionally, Earle kicked off his extensive Alone Again: Solo & Acoustic 2024 Summer Tour on Friday, May 31st in Philadelphia, MS at Ellis Theater. The 4-month-long trek includes stops in Houston, Nashville, Toronto, Denver, and many more cities, before wrapping up on Sunday, September 8th in Evanston, IL at Cahn Auditorium.
In regards to the tour Steve said ”So, October before last I woke up without a band. I had toured with one version of the “Dukes” or another since 1982, but the real continuous bloodline of the outfit died with my longtime bass player, Kelly Looney, in 2019. So, it seemed I’d come to a crossroads. Left? Right? I chose BACK. Back to performing solo like I did in coffeehouses when I first started.”
