"Steve McQueen" comes from Painkillers, the first solo album by Brian Fallon, the Gaslight Anthem's singer and guitarist, released on Island on March 11, 2016. Fallon had begun stockpiling songs before the band's 2014 record Get Hurt, set them aside when they didn't fit where the band was heading, and once the Gaslight Anthem's hiatus was announced in July 2015, took them to a Nashville studio with producer Butch Walker.
He wrote this one with Dan Wilson. Fallon sings lead and his own backing vocals and plays acoustic guitar, Walker adds guitar and percussion, Catherine Popper plays bass and Alex Rosamilia plays piano. It's the sound of a frontman out on his own for the first time, keeping the circle small.
