Our Take

STEVE EARLE & THE DUKES have delved deep into the haunting history of West Virginia with their latest album, 'Ghosts Of West Virginia'. The legendary singer-songwriter has never been one to shy away from tough subjects, and this album is no exception. From the opening track, 'Heaven Ain't Goin Out of Business', Earle's gritty vocals and poetic lyrics draw you in, painting a picture of a state haunted by its past.

The Dukes provide a solid musical backdrop, blending country, rock, and folk influences to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Tracks like 'Time Out For The Roses' and 'Union, God and Country' showcase the band's versatility and Earle's knack for storytelling.

One standout moment on the album is the powerful ballad 'The Mine'. Earle's emotive performance captures the sorrow and resilience of the West Virginia miners, making it a standout track that will linger in your mind long after the album has ended.

While 'Ghosts Of West Virginia' may not be Earle's most commercially accessible album, it is certainly one of his most poignant and timely. With its blend of heart-wrenching ballads and toe-tapping tunes, this album is a testament to Earle's continued relevance in the music world. So put on your cowboy boots, grab a moonshine cocktail, and let Steve Earle & The Dukes take you on a journey through the haunted hills of West Virginia. Trust us, you won't regret it.
