SUMMARY:Justin Townes Earle
DESCRIPTION: "Like the late Van Zandt\, Earle uses a base of acoustic 
	blues and prewar folk to build his own brand of American roots music."
	 -Nashville SceneWith Justin Townes Earle’s pedigree come mixed bles
	sings. As the son of legendary singer/songwriter Steve Earle\, high ex
	pectations are the name of the game\, and he’s shown that he is up t
	o the task on The Good Life\, crafting stark portraits and narrative t
	ales with elements of blues\, classic country and rock n’roll. A mod
	ern-day troubadour\, Earle blends genres seamlessly\, framing his song
	s in warm musical settings and creating tunes that could easily be mis
	taken for classics.  Justin Townes Earle is 25 years old and his age b
	elies his experience. Growing up in Nashville he mis-spent his youth p
	laying in bluegrass/ragtime combo The Swindlers and the louder\, more 
	rocking The Distributors and developing some very bad habits. During t
	ours as guitarist and keyboardist (“…and not a very good one\,” 
	laughs Earle) in his father’s band\, his problems became untenable a
	nd he was fired. Ultimately he cleaned up his act\, dropped his self-d
	estructive habits and began to focus on songcraft.   With inspirations
	 as diverse as Townes Van Zandt (he was named in honor of the elder Ea
	rle’s hero)\, Jimmy Reed\, Kurt Cobain\, The Replacements\, Ray Char
	les and The Pogues\, Justin forged his own brand of American roots mus
	ic. The Good Life melds the qualities of a short story with the lyrica
	l acuity of excellent songs\, celebrating grand southern traditions an
	d blowing a fresh breeze across the musical gardens and dive bars of N
	ashville.
