Veteran singer-songwriter Steve Earle invokes Hank Williams in his new album’s title, “I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive,” which also serves as the name of his first novel, to be published in May. As Earle well knows, a song with the same title served as Williams’ epitaph: Hank’s “I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive” was a radio hit at the time of his death at age 29. But rather than sing about succumbing at an early age, Earle uses this collection of original songs to celebrate survival and struggle.
