Steve Earle performed some of the songs of his latest album The Low Highway (2013) live in the KEXP radio station studio in Seattle on a program hosted by Stevie Zoom. In the video, Earle performs “The Low Highway,” “Burnin’ It Down,” “Invisible,” and “Remember Me.”
The final song, “Remember Me,” is a touching song Earle wrote to his newest child as Earle contemplates his own advanced age and the probability he will not be around for long. The segment was recorded on April 18, 2013.

I have been listening to Steve Earle’s new CD, The Low Highway, and enjoying it. I will probably have more to say about it after some more listens, but in the meantime, check out this video. Earlier this week, Steve Earle was on the Late Show With David Letterman, where he performed his new song about the homeless, “Invisible.”
According to Rolling Stone, that is Chris Masterson playing the pedal steel and Eleanor Masterson playing the violin.
In other Steve Earle news, Earle and Shout! Factory announced that on June 25 they will release a box set entitled, Steve Earle: The Warner Bros. Years. The box set will feature his three great post-prison albums from the 1990s, Train a Comin’, I Feel Alright, and El Corazón. The package will also include a fourth CD of an unreleased concert album Live at the Polk Theater from 1995. The Nashville concert was his first after being released from jail. Additionally, the box set will contain a DVD of a 1996 concert at the Cold Creek Correctional Facility in Tennessee, To Hell and Back.
American Songwriter has the track listings and Billboard has the audio of a live version of “Devil’s Right Hand” from the new set. Because I already have the three previously released albums (and they are among my favorite CDs of all time, I hope they also release the additional material separately.
