Tell my momma I love her, Tell my daddy I tried, Give my money to my baby to spend..... RIP Justin Townes Earle, you remarkable man, you made incredible sounds. Songs of truth that will touch many lives forever.... Thank you💖
Bummed about the loss. Wishing his family peace at this difficult time. Will always love "Harlem River Blues" and glad you included it here. RIP Justin.
I got to meet him at Ardovinos Desert Crossing in Sunland Park NM. I was a star struck chef working my shift and got to talk to him between cigarettes and was just a cool humble dude. Good times. RIP Justin 😔
I'm a cleaner at a mental wellness clinic. A guy came in and I dubbed him "Steve Earle" This guy left the facility 3x, kept coming back. Whats goin on with Steve Earle anyway? And it was then I learned about Justin Townes Earle. Shit. In my journal for our guy at the clinic I wrote" Steve Earle has left the building." And so, and thus, I think in age and history his story is going to end as Justins' did. god damn it.Thanks for this real picture of a guy who just KNEW the ins and outs of his fate.
I realize this is unlikely that The Current could do this, but seeing as how Justin isn't able to I thought I'd ask anyway: is there any way you guys would be able to get these songs added to Spotify? Maybe you'd be able to contact the record company he worked with or something? I love this version of Harlem River Blues SOOOOO much and I'd love to be able to listen to easier.
Waitin for a live album release from someone... what I wouldn't give. I'd pay good money for that. I do know the Current has a fantastic JTE recording of "My Starter Won't Start."
