After an extremely rare three year break from recording, Grammy® Award winner Steve Earle is back, with 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 deluxe CD/DVD version will be available with bonus packaging art plus an exclusive documentary DVD about the inspiration behind the album. The bonus DVD includes 3 acoustic performances, interviews and a walking tour of Greenwich Village with Steve and noted journalist Mark Jacobson. The album will also be available as a Limited Edition 180 gram vinyl record.The title and opening songs of Washington Square Serenade are as much a celebration of New York City–Steve Earle’s newly adopted home–as his breakthrough Guitar Town was an evocation of his previous home in Nashville. In fact, the opening “Tennessee Blues,” with its acoustic guitar over a digital rhythm loop, bids “goodbye to Guitar Town,” as he leaves with “a redhead by my side.” That would be wife Allison Moorer, who harmonizes beautifully with her husband on “Days Aren’t Long Enough,” written by the two; provides background vocals elsewhere; and plainly inspires “Sparkle and Shine” and the bittersweet “Come Home to Me,” two of the album’s loveliest songs. The result is a new chapter in Earle’s career, an album unlike any he’s previously recorded, produced by John King of the Dust Brothers (Beck, Beastie Boys). While the raw, raging blues of “Red Is the Color” ranks with Earle’s most powerful music, “Satellite Radio” could well be the slightest (as well as perhaps a plug for Earle’s own radio show), but the artist’s willingness to take chances attests to a restless creativity that refuses to be corralled. Other noteworthy tracks include the Brazilian-tinged “City of Immigrants,” the tribute to Pete Seeger on “Steve’s Hammer,” and the closing rendition of Tom Waits’s “Down in the Hole,” which will serve as the theme music for Season 5 of The Wire. –Don McLeese

Washington Square Arch, looking south on 5th Avenue, New York City. March 2001.
World Trade Centre in the backgound.
Inspired by Roman triumphal arches, this structure was erected in 1889 to celebrate the centennial of George Washington’s inauguration. It replaced an arch on near the site which was a temporary structure made of wood and stucco. Having met with popular approval, Mckim Mead & White’s original design was rebuilt in marble in 1891. Decorated with sculptures of Washington in both his civilian and military guises by Alexander Stirling Calder and Herman MacNeil, this arch became the symbol of a new America devoted to the arts. In the first decades of the 20th century, the West Village became an increasingly bohemian neighborhood, and the arch became a site of artistic and social rebellion. Cars no longer pass under the arch as they once did; the Arch remains one of the Village’s important urban landmarks.

Question by tori: What song did Campbell the Band play at Washington Square Park on July 27, 2010?
i was at washing square park in new york city on july 27 and Campbell The Band sang a song there, then handed out flyers and telling us that they were going to have a free show at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn on july 29. there was also someone recording them with a professional camera but i cant find the video anywhere. i really liked them and the song that they played but when i searched for it i couldn’t find that song. i don’t remember the lyrics, all i remember is that it was kind of upbeat and unique. so does anyone know what song they played because i really want to listen to it again. the lead singer did an amazing job and the rest of the band were fantastic playing all the different instruments!
Best answer:
Answer by Cole Moser there is no name to that song yet and no official recording… but here are a few VERY VERY low quality links if you are desperate to listen to it.
