Product Description

Description

Born under the weight of two legendary country names, Justin Townes Earle had to deal with not only comparisons to his father Steve's still active career, but the legendary canon of his namesake, Townes Van Zandt. Wisely, Earle copies neither and delivers a strong, loose sophomore full-length, THE GOOD LIFE, that shores up his credentials as a major talent in his own right. With songs that swing from charming piano-plinked honky-tonk to heartfelt balladry, Earle pits himselfsquarely in the Texas neo-roadhouse tradition of Joe Ely and Butch Hancock--the kind of music made for and by country fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Listen, 20 April 2008

By	leamiron (Leamington Spa, UK) - See all my reviews

I really enjoyed this. It is full of well crafted, intelligent country songs, which establish the artist in his own right. Play it again and again, and it remains a great listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thoroughly enjoyable start, 16 Sep 2008

By	M. G. Wilson (Eastbourne) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Justin Townes Earle may be following in his illustrious father's footsteps in becoming a country troubadour, but a copyist he is not. Opening this record, 'Hard Living' rather harks back to an earlier simpler era in country music history. The same might be said of 'The Good Life' 'What Do You Do When You're Lonesome' and 'Ain't Glad I'm Leaving'. Country the way Hank done it. Elsewhere, on 'Who Am I To Say' 'Lone Pine Hill' and Turn Out My Lights' for example, JTE adopts a more modern, Americana approach: lonesome, melancholy, plaintive. More in the vein of Jeffrey Foucault. He may not yet be the finished article, with a truly distinctive vision yet to emerge, but with 'The Good Life' Earle has made a thoroughly enjoyable start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 25 Jun 2009

By	Gcblakesley (england) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

JTE sings a variety of styles. From traditional hank williams style feel good songs,, with fiddles and pedal steel, to strong well crafted ballads in the steve earle/townes van zandt mould -whose influences are clear in his music. His voice isn't the strongest in the world, more jimmy dale gilmore. As townes would have said 'It's a delight'
Recommended if you are looking to try somebody new.
