Seven marriages to six different women and the dissolution of those units in the decade of the ‘80s proceeded his success and his disappearance in the ‘90s but yet Earle somehow has managed to produce 16 studio recordings. The latest effort, “Colvin & Earle,” is not a solo album but a duo work with current touring partner Shawn Colvin and they’ll be performing in support of that release on July 20 at BergenPAC in Englewood, NJ. “It was just released on June 10 on Fantasy Records,” explained a now enthusiastic Earle. “It’s been number one on the Americana charts the last couple of weeks. It took us about a week to do it and we both kinda needed to do this. We got Buddy Miller to produce it, who is a tremendous songwriter and he makes great records; he was in the last season of “Nashville” when he came available so we reached out. Buddy and I have worked together before on the show so we are familiar with each other.” THEN: Watcha video for “Guitar Town” by Steve Earle NJ STAGE 2016 - ISSUE 12 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 38
