Justin Townes Earle – Harlem River Blues (CD)
Product Details
The son of Steve Earle came up hard and came up honest, absorbing country, blues, and old-time gospel not as genre exercises but as lived language. Released when he was just 28, "Harlem River Blues" captured Earle at a creative peak, earning him the Americana Music Association's Song of the Year for the title track in 2011 and cementing his place in a lineage of Southern storytellers who understood that the oldest forms still carry the most weight.
Harlem River Blues straddles not only the Mason-Dixon, but time itself. As versed in Mance Lipscomb as he is in M. Ward and sporting Marc Jacobs suspenders, Justin Townes Earle is a man beyond eras.With Harlem River Blues, a record that's perfect for late Indian summer nights on either the front porch or fire escape, Justin's found yet another way to be a timeless original. Justin won Best New & Emerging Artist at the 2009 Americana Music Awards. Midnight at the Movies was named one of the best records of 2009 by Amazon, received four stars in Rolling Stone, and was praised globally.
