Our Take

In a musical landscape dominated by cookie-cutter pop stars and soulless production, Steve Earle and The Dukes have returned with their latest offering, "Ghosts of West Virginia". This album is a haunting journey through the heart and soul of Appalachia, tinged with a sense of loss and longing that will leave you reaching for the tissues. Earle's gravelly vocals are as gripping as ever, weaving tales of coal miners and the ghosts that haunt them with a poignancy that is both heart-wrenching and beautiful. The Dukes provide the perfect backdrop, layering acoustic guitars and mournful fiddles to create a sound that is both traditional and innovative. Standout tracks like "Union, God and Country" and "Time Is Never on Our Side" showcase Earle's songwriting prowess, touching on themes of working class struggle and the unrelenting passage of time. It's clear that Earle has a deep connection to the people and places he sings about, and that authenticity shines through in every note. Overall, "Ghosts of West Virginia" is a masterful work of art that deserves to be heard. So grab a glass of bourbon, settle in by the fire, and let Steve Earle and The Dukes take you on a journey through the mountains and valleys of West Virginia. Trust us, you won't regret it.
