It’s only been 6 years since the release of his Bloodshot Records debut, Yuma, but in the brief time Justin Townes Earle has stepped outside the formidable, shadows of his Father , Steve Earle, and his namesake, Townes Van Zandt, to carve out his own path as a torchbearer for the Americana movement.
Earle’s new release for Bloodshot Records Nothing’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now, his follow-up to 2010’s Harlem River Blues, will be released on March 27th.
The video below by Joshua Black Wilkins was filmed during the recording process at the converted church studio of Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville NC. The video shows a live feel of the recording (with Justin making changes on the fly) and features Amanda Shires. The 10-track album was recorded with no overdubs over the course of just 4 days
Describing the the new album Justin describes the sounds as “1960s-era Muscle Shoals sound accompanied by lots of brass.â€Â and that it’s “completely different†than last year’s Harlem River Blues. “This time I’ve gone in a Memphis-soul direction.â€
