New Steve Earle, "City of Immigrants"

Head over to Steve Earle's MySpace page to hear the song "City of Immigrants" from his forthcoming album entitled Washington Square Serenade (due out 9/25 on New West Records). Interestingly, the album was produced by John King, who is better known as one half of The Dust Brothers.

Overall, the song is pretty damn good, or at least right up until someone sounding a hell of a lot like the Indigo Girls starts singing. And the flute's gotta go. Oh, and several parts of the song remind me of Neil Diamond, but that's not a terrible thing.

Edited to add: According to Billboard, that ain't the Indigo Girls, it's a Brazilian group called Forro In The Dark. Um, ok.
