Steve Earle & The Dukes and Duchesses: The AVO Session Basel(2011)

"Steve Earle & the Dukes and Duchesses" is what he calls his band by name. One Duchess is wife Allison Moorer. Her wonderfully roughened voice gave Earle's mix of country, folk, Americana and rock an additional, soulful touch. This 75-minute performance ranged from the latest album "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive" to his beginnings 25 years ago with "Guitar Town" - including a few political stings in the direction of George W. Bush or oil spill cause BP, but also a declaration of love to his adopted home of New York.
