Justin Townes Earle – The Good Life (CD)
Product Details
Born into one of Americana's most storied families, Justin Townes Earle also carried the name of his godfather, Townes Van Zandt, and the weight of that dual inheritance runs through every song here. Released on Bloodshot Records, the Chicago label that built its reputation on artists too honest for Nashville and too rooted for mainstream rock, this 2008 debut announced a singular voice shaped by hard living and deep listening.
With Justin Townes Earle's pedigree come mixed blessings. As the son of legendary singer/songwriter Steve Earle, high expectations are the name of the game, and he's shown that he is up to the task on The Good Life, crafting stark portraits and narrative tales with elements of blues, classic country and rock n'roll. A modern-day troubadour, Earle blends genres seamlessly, framing his songs in warm musical settings and creating tunes that could easily be mistaken for classics.
