If “Gettin’ By” is any indication, Jerry Jeff will unfold the same way. For even when he leaves the lyrics alone, the songs always come out sounding like Steve Earle songs. Jerry Jeff is the latest in a string of tribute albums that include 2009’s Townes (as in Van Zandt), 2019’s Guy (Clark) and 2021’s J.T., recorded in memory of Earle’s late son, Justin Townes Earle.Ĭover LPs can be lazy affairs, but not where Earle & the Dukes are concerned. Recording with the Dukes, Earle plays both kinds of music - country and rock - on this hybrid cover/rewrite, where fiddle and pedal-steel and electric guitars vie for prominence over a relentless, honky-tonk rhythm. Hi buckeroos/Steve Earle again/tryin’ my best to be Jerry Jeff Walker once more, he growls - it’s a friendly growl - on “Gettin’ By,” the lead single and opening track from the forthcoming (May 27) Jerry Jeff. When it comes to claiming someone else’s song for yourself, Steve Earle found the formula - change the words and make it personal. Song Review: Steve Earle & the Dukes - “Gettin’ By” Make sure to leave any show suggestions or any questions on my casting choices so I can explain them.

The topic of using this for fiction came up multiple times and both indicated it was applicable to fiction. My biggest disappointment was that I sat through a webinar jointly held with Nathan Barry and Scrivener Coachs Joseph Michael. Launch goes into much greater detail and has a similar formula. Whatever it was, the explosion of audible joy in the arena banished his words. I might have given it more stars if not for having read Launch by Jeff Walker first.

Because somebody was in Brrrigadoooon in high school and she f*cking killed it (and one starkid actually was in Brigadoon at U of M) figured this was a no-brainer because regardless of what a certain guy who doesn't like musical states, it is a fun old-fashioned romp!ġ1.
