His 2020 album Ghosts of West Virginia was named as one of “The 50 Best Albums of 2020” by Rolling Stone. Steve Earle was recently (Nov. 2020) inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and released his twenty-first studio album J.T. in January 2021 as an homage to his late son Justin Townes Earle. In May 2022, Earle released his most recent album Jerry Jeff, a 10-track collection comprised of hit tracks and deep-cuts from Jerry Jeff Walker to pay tribute to the colourful cowboy troubadour friend who passed away in October 2021.
