Legendary American songwriter, political agitator and honorary Irishman Steve Earle makes a welcome return to Ireland in November for a series of live dates, taking in Cork, Clare, Mayo and Dublin and two dates in the Town Hall Theatre on Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 November.

He released his debut record, Guitar Town in 1986, which shot to number one of the country charts and immediately established the term 'New Country'.

What followed was an extremely exciting array of 12 releases including the biting hard rock of Copperhead Road (1988), the minimalist beauty of Train A Comin' (1995), the politically charged masterpiece Jerusalem (2002) and the Grammy Award Winning albums The Revolution Starts…Now (2004) and Washington Square Serenade (2007). Earle also produced the Grammy nominated album, Day After Tomorrow, by the legendary Joan Baez in 2008.

Earle has just released Townes, his highly anticipated follow-up to the Grammy Award winning album Washington Square Serenade. The 15-song set is comprised of songs written by Earle's friend and mentor, the late singer-songwriter, Townes Van Zandt.

I wonder what song from his huge repertoire he'll get the most requests for?
