Steve Earle’s oldest son from his third marriage, Justin Townes Earle, has been earning his chops as a member of a couple of local Nashville bands and has self-released his first six song EP “Yuma.”
With his dad’s legacy and a middle name like his he’s bound to have a hell of a hill to climb but with his smooth, weary voice and storteller style I’d say he’s off to a fine start of carving out a place in musical history all his own.
That is one hell of a shadow to have to climb out of. I’ll listen to some of his stuff tomorrow when I have more time.
What a great name, huh? I have never heard anything of his. Thanks so much; love to hear about new artists (new to me). I’m going to my local independent record store tomorrow and sample some of this!
