On August 20, 2020, we lost a brilliant light in the music world with the passing of Justin Townes Earle. Known for his vibrant songwriting, Justin seamlessly blended blues, country, and rock n’ roll into his unique sound. Over his brief yet impactful career, he released eight albums and one EP, each resonating with both classic and contemporary vibes.
In a touching tribute, his father, Steve Earle, pays homage to his son with the album titled J.T.. This heartfelt collection features ten songs penned by Justin, along with one written by Steve shortly after their profound loss. Among the standout tracks are beloved favorites like “Harlem River Blues,” “Far Away In Another Town,” and “Champagne Corolla,” complemented by poignant selections such as “The Saint of Lost Causes” and “Turn Out My Lights.” This album serves as a loving memorial to a gifted artist taken too soon, leaving behind a legacy of musical beauty.
All proceeds from the album will support a trust for Justin’s young daughter, Etta, ensuring his artistic spirit continues to thrive.
