Singer / songwriter Steve Earle moved to his adopted New York City some years ago from Nashville and wrote this song in 2007. According to a story in Variety, Earle was texting Bruce Springsteen around the time that he was performing in Minneapolis in support of the immigrant community, and thought, "Bruce showed up there, and I’m home in New York, like, ‘Get off your ass, Earle!’” The result is a new video featuring that song from almost 20 years ago and filmed documentary-style on the streets of NYC, directed by the great Steve Buscemi. Enjoy "City of Immigrants."
