The Saint Of Lost Causes spans 12 songs and was produced by Earle and his long-time engineer Adam Bednarik. It was recorded at the Sound Emporium in Nashville. Thematically, the record signals something of a shift for the 37-year-old artist, as it finds him taking on more big-picture, topical subject matter. Several of the tunes bear a strong geographical imprint, such as the hillbilly elegy “Appalachian Nightmare” and the post-industrial blues of “Flint City Shake It.”
“I was trying to look through the eyes of America,” Earle says of the album. “Because I believe in the idea of America — that everybody’s welcome here and has a right to be here.”
The Saint Of Lost Causes will be released on New West Records. See the track list below.
