EARLE,STEVE - WASHINGTON SQUARE SERENADE (METALLIC GOLD COLOR) Vinyl LP

After an extremely rare three year break from recording, Grammy Award winner Steve Earle returned with 2007's Washington Square Serenade. The album represents a number of firsts for Steve: his first record for New West Records, his first album produced in New York City (now his home), and his first produced by John King of The Dust Brothers (Beck, Beastie Boys) at the legendary Electric Lady Studios.

The album features Steve's then-wifeAllison Mooreron the track "Days Aren't Long Enough", and the Brazilian groupForro In The Darkon the track "City Of Immigrants". The track "Way Down In The Hole", by Tom Waits, was used as the opening theme song for the fifth and final season of the HBO series The Wire, on which Earle played a recurring character named Walon. In February 2008 Earle won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album for Washington Square Serenade.
