Steve Earle. Letterman. Friday.
Hey Steve Earle fans, watch Letterman tomorrow night (Friday, Sept. 5th). Steve will perform a Warren Zevon tune, “Reconsider Me”, in tribute to the late great Zevon who passed away 5 years ago (Sept. 7th, 2003).
I didn’t know it until tonight, but Earle recorded the song (hear it on YouTube) with Texas band Reckless Kelly for a 2004 tribute album, ‘Enjoy Every Sandwich: The Songs of Warren Zevon’…
Steve Earle performs Copperhead Road on Letterman (1988)
Steve Earle performing “Copperhead Road” on Late Night, 1988. I miss Letterman in the old NBC studio (now Conan’s). Look, Paul Shaffer with hair (sort of)!
Steve Earle performs City of Immigrants on Letterman
We’ll see how long this stays online, but in the meantime, here’s Steve with his Wire look. Any Wire watchers out there? Have Steve’s episodes began yet?
Steve’s lovely wife Allison Moorer joins in on backup vocals.
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Did anyone catch this on Letterman the other night? A mind-blowing display of guitar prowess. They’re a pair originally from Mexico City, but have been street entertainers in Dublin, Ireland, and Denmark and Spain.
Watch Gabriela’s finger fly, and watch them win over a crowd with “Diablo Rojo.”.
Check out their new album on Amazon.
Sunday Video: M. Ward on Letterman
I was flipping channels the other night and came across a Letterman repeat from August. A verry cool tune caught my ear. I watched. I listened. I liked. I found out that it was M. Ward. I went to eMusic and downloaded his latest album, Post-War. I am really enjoying the sound. Figures that M. Ward just stopped through my town about 3 weeks ago. Ah well. Check ’em out.
