Elvie Shane's 'Forgotten Man' Makes Its Case as 2023's 'Workin' Man Blues'

Over three-and-a-half-minutes of slashing guitars and Shane’s defiant vocal delivery, he laments bailed-out banks, gentrification-fueled rents, and the ever-shrinking opportunity to get ahead. But he’s not pissing and moaning.

Like the “forgotten man” the song is dedicated to, Shane is still getting up early and going to work: “We can’t lay down,” he cautions, “so we lace up our boots.”,” and is the first taste of Shane’s next album, the follow-up to his superb 2021 debut. As a country song, it stands as the 21st-century version of “Workin’ Man Blues,” but more pissed-off and defiant. Merle Haggard himself would be proud.

Cookie cutter Steve Earle jam with pedestrian and predictable lyrics. He will make money off this.
