Steve Earle & The Dukes will release new album So You Wannabe An Outlaw on June 16. As the title suggests, this new record is an ode to ’70s “outlaw” country like Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. “I was out to unapologetically ‘channel’ Waylon as best as I could.” Earle says. “This record was all about me playing’ on the back pick-up of a ’66 Fender Telecaster on an entire record for the first time in my life.” The album features guest appearances from Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, and Johnny Bush, and you can listen to “Looking for a Woman” from the LP, and check out artwork and tracklist, below.
Earle will celebrate his new album with a solo record release show at Brooklyn’s Rough Trade on June 13. To attend you’ll need to buy a copy of So You Wannabe An Outlaw on CD or LP at Rough Trade on the day of the show. Steve will be signing records following the performance. He was just at Rough Trade where he played a free Record Store Day show.
He’s also putting on his fourth annual songwriting intensive, Camp Copperhead, in upstate New York from June 26-30 at the Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, NY (just outside of Woodstock). The all-inclusive, four-day “music vacation and fully immersive learning experience” will have Earle as the primary instructor, with special guest instructors Jackie Greene and Dar Williams. More information on Camp Copperhead is here.
With his off-Broadway run in Samara now over, you can also catch Steve Earle on tour with The Dukes this summer. All dates are listed below.
