So glad I was able to see his man right after the release of Harlem River Blues. Hands down the greatest show I've been to thus far. His energy would hit you like a physical impact. RIP to a real one.
Godspeed JTE, such a talented guy. I knew even 9 years ago hearing the intro to this song here, that he was on borrowed time. Thank You for leaving us with your Music, at least. Condolences to his wife and 3 yr old daughter....
God Love Him. I still can't stop crying every time I listen to him in Spotify or on here. My family members have died from drug addiction, they used mostly alcohol to self medicate to help them through the day. My mam used to go into a pchyciatric ward to treat depression , only for them to replace the alcohol with what we called in the 80s Duck Eggs, high dose tablets that turned her into a zombie, then they gave her facking EST got her to sign the consent form. It made her worse after, they told her it would get rid of her bad memories , but it didn't , it made her lose a lot of her memory, it never repaired properly. I did the best I could to help her, even when her personality changed after a certain time. I knew why she drank, I knew why she self meditated with alcohol, I knew why she hurt, I knew the reasons why my other family members drink and it's always is because of someone fucking with their head through many forms of abuse when they where children or even older, as abuse has no age limit for the victim, it's a very vicious cycle, I which the UK had the same laws as the USA. The youngest age of one of my family members to pass away due to alcoholism was only 23, she signed herself out of hospital, died 3 days later, she hurt cos her mam died when a few yrs before, her mam died because of alcohol because the man she loved died from alcohol. As for me ... I have done my best to break the vicious cycle by me choosing not to go down that road. Two of my children don't drink, they are aged 28 & 29 and I hope that they never ever follow in those same footsteps. One never knows, all we can do is pray for them x
Oh man I’ve heard him before and liked him but this was on another level. Wish I could’ve had the chance to see him. I used to love his dads character as bubbles’ sponsor on the wire. Was such a good accurate description of addiction and the strife it brings. Rest In Peace buddy.
Nice to see people remembering him still, hope it lasts. Miss him terribly. Just listened to Yuma had to come here to cheer up a bit! Respect from a rainy (covid-soaked) Ireland ✌
Talent for days and his own genuine style with no coattails ridden from his fathers legacy, together made this man an endangered species long before he ever became extinct. When Justin passed , we lost a lot more than just an amazing artist, we lost our only chance for our generation to redeem itself after all of the garbage sound that has diluted and distorted what it means to make " good music " ! I hope that you found peace brother You deserve it.
Just another absolute tragedy. When you are a practicing addict it’s just a matter of where and when because at the end of it all , everything’s eventual. R.I.P. J.T.E.🥀
He lived how he wanted. Nobody gets out of here alive as old Hank could tell you! I believe that if the pandemic never happened he would still be here. No shows, no income and no living is death already. Many others slipped back into their old comfortable ways to *get by* R.I.P. to the last of the best!
Got to see him live a few weeks ago in Asheville NC ... it was about 2 straight hours of blues in the raw --- as above --- catch him live for a show with arena rock adrenaline in a venue intimate enough to pick out chords
God damn, there are few musicians I love so much as Justin. Everything he touches seems to turn golden. I highly recommend you check out Mississippi John Hurt if you like his style, he takes a lot of inspiration from his work no doubt. Google for 'Spike Driver Blues,' 'Make Me A Pallet on Your Floor,' 'Hop Joint,' and 'Lonesome Valley.' Amazing music, thanks for sharing.
I recently got a guitar signed by him 3 different times...I really wish I could've met him tho he is such a big influence on me musically and I really wish he was still here💔💔❤️🩹💙
@@oliviad5830 Its been said there is a fine line between genius and insanity, and we have to accept some peoples destructive nature together with their creative side, they're often two sides of the same coin.
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD - Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord - GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST, our GOD
We're in the key of G, so we're playing G (tonic chord) C (sub-dominant) and D (dominant), and various inversions thereof. Its the bloody melody line I can't get to grips with - how does he DO that ?!!
