Product Details

Named for Townes Van Zandt, the Texas songwriter his father Steve revered above all others, Justin carried that weight with uncommon grace. Midnight at the Movies arrived when he was just 27, already deep in the tradition of country, blues, and soul, but bending it toward something entirely his own. It remains one of the most assured statements to come out of the Bloodshot Records catalog in the late 2000s.

2009 sophomore album from Justin Townes Earle, son of Americana favorite Steve Earle. Within the first song on Midnight At the Movies, you just know you're hearing something special, that you are party to the unknown and exhilarating paths being explored by an artist on the creative ascendancy. Midnight At The Movies displays an adeptness and musical sophistication of remarkable, organic breadth and is as lyrically sharp as a lover's tongue as she is walking out the door. Midnight at the Movies is held firm by Justin's astonishing vision and conviction, yet roams o'er the vast landscape of American music without so much as a stumble.
