I Feel Alright

I Feel Alright is the sixth studio album by Steve Earle, released in 1996.

The title track was featured in the closing scenes of the Port in a Storm, the final episode of The Wire season 2.

Critical reception
Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Alanna Nash gave I Feel Alright an "A" grade. She wrote, "If I Feel Alright doesn’t deliver the grit that has been Earle’s gift to rock and country, his roots-rock joie de vivre sends no apologies, only a healthy message for the ’90s: Don’t feel bad about feeling good."
