  • Townes Grammy Win 2010
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STEVE EARLE WINS GRAMMY AWARD FOR TOWNES February 1st, 2010 – Los Angeles, CA-- Steve Earle was honored by the Recording Academy with a Grammy Award for his album, Townes (New West Records) in the Best Contemporary Folk Album category during their 52nd annual ceremony last night in Los Angeles. This honor marks Earle’s third consecutive Grammy Award win (2004’s The Revolution Starts…Now and 2008’s Washington Square Serenade were both awarded the Grammy in the same category as well). When speaking about Townes, Earle stated, “This may be one of the best records I’ve ever made. That hurts a singer-songwriter’s feelings. Then again, it’s some consolation that I cherry picked through the career of one of the best songwriters that ever lived.” Townes, a 15-song set, is comprised of songs written by Earle’s friend and mentor, the late singer-songwriter, Townes Van Zandt. The album debuted at number 19 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, the highest Top 200 debut in his career. Townes also debuted at #6 on the Billboard Country Chart. It garnered major worldwide critical acclaim, receiving 4 stars in Uncut, 4 out of 5 stars in The Sunday Express (UK), 3 out of 4 Stars in USA Today and 8 out of 10 stars in Spin magazine which claimed that “…he does his idol justice.” Of the songs, Rolling Stone stated that Earle “…delivers them with the ease of breathing…” and in Best Life magazine, Anthony DeCurtis stated that the album is “beautiful and scarifying.” Townes features guest appearances by Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine/Street Sweeper Social Club/The Nightwatchman), Earle’s wife, singer-songwriter Allison Moorer, and his son, Justin Townes Earle.

  • AJC Where to Find Outdoor Sculptures Around Metro Atlanta
    Log In Where to find outdoor sculptures around metro Atlanta THINGS TO DO | Sept 28, 2020 By Mary Welch, For the AJC This artwork can be experienced by anyone and loved by everyone. Wanting Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul to choose his city’s favorite outdoor sculpture is akin to asking which of his five children is his favorite. "If I need to give you one that stands out, it is “Optimistical,” he says. “I enjoy the clean lines, the creative use of color to capture and refract light, the symmetry of the circular metal and the ability to notice something new and different each time I see it.” Not everyone may have Paul’s artistic aesthetic, but metro Atlanta has a wealth of sculptures that will provoke a range of emotions in people of all ages and demographics. A piece of sculpture can send a social message, allow one’s imagination to run wild, offer a beacon for contemplation, inspire one to think (or be bewildered) and, at the very least, offer a great Instagram shot.
