THE JEZABELS chose STEVE EARL and City of Immigrants as one of their ‘Seven Songs’.
STEVE EARL had just moved to New York when he wrote and recorded the album Washington Square Serenade. He was moved by the multicultural vibe of New York and that’s how this song came about. The song reminds me of Sydney too. I guess every modern city is now a ‘city of immigrants’. I guess every city ever that ever existed was a ‘city of immigrants’.
