Steve Earle - 'Feel Alright' live at Cold Creek Correctional Facility in Tennessee

Three-time Grammy Award winner Steve Earle performs "Feel Alright" in this clip from Steve Earle: The Warner Bros Years.

Steve Earle: The Warner Bros Years is a 4-CD/1-DVD box set paying tribute to an incredibly significant time in Earle's career. The box set consists of three essential Steve Earle studio albums, Train a Comin', I Feel Alright, and El Corazόn, the previously unreleased concert album Live at the Polk Theater, and To Hell and Back, a concert filmed at Cold Creek Correctional Facility in Tennessee. The box set also contains a newly written intro by Earle, original booklet information and art from the original Warner Bros releases, and an insightful essay written by David Simon, creator of HBO's The Wire and Treme, in which Earle appeared in and provided music for.

Lyrics
I was born my papa's son
A wanderin' eye and a smokin' gun
Now some of you would live through me
Lock me up and throw away the key
Or just find a place to hide away
Hope that I'll just go away
I feel alright - I feel alright tonight

I'll bring you precious contraband
And ancient tales from distant lands
Of conquerors and concubines and
Conjurers from darker times
Betrayal and conspiracy
Sacrilege and heresy

I got every thing you wont or need
Your darkest fear, your fondest dream
I ask you questions, tell you lies
Criticize and sympathize
Be careful what you wish for friend
Because I've been to hell and now I'm back again

The best living songwriter in America. And I'll say that standing on Bob Dylan's coffee table with my boots on!

[TheKyledstokes]

Steve is the greatest songwriter to ever live, fight me!

[jdwfenton]

[Trucker-John-B]

[odyssey]

the drummer in this performance is seriously talented, he is a demon on the high hats

[randalltyer]

The spirit of " the man in Black" but he walks around in jeans and a t-shirt. Good stuff!

[klausrain]

If this was your first time to look at him, you wouldn't exactly think he's one of the best lyricists in rock history. But he is.

[ksturmer]

CLASS!! Quality!! Genius bloke and a friggin great live band too. :)

[metalmanchrisx]

Massive artist and a massive song! Wow!! 🔥💯🤠

[Jon_]

Prison is good, it saved my life. This song by Mr Steve Earle and band top drawer.

[titusmaximus]

Worthy of note Johnny Cash never did any prison time, but Steve Earle did. I heard that part of his sentence was to do a prison concert series. Perhaps this video is one of those given. Steve's community service fulfillment

[nirojshakya-no]

just rolling down on Shazam, and said I why not today

[simonevassallo]

Sembra la scena finale dei Blues Brothers 😆👍

[sarahc.toadvine]

Looks like Kurt Custer on drums, Kevin Looney on bass, and Bucky Baxter on guitar

[caydencayuga]

When I seen Steve his backing band was a DJ.

[banditdarval]

I came by this song watching the movie Switchback

[sonsofthesportsguy]

Why do shitty directors over rely on the moving camera shot when filming concerts?
