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.”
