What A Dandy

Justin Townes Earl most recent effort shows that he is able to grow without loosing the raw stoic quality of his earlier musings, that quality that made me a fan. Midnight at the Movies is a strong effort that shows a bit more variety vocally, on songs like Halfway to Jackson Earl shows off his early rock n' roll chops, though it may be a little to Elvis it is still not contrived or come off like an imitation. Walk Out is another great track on this latest effort, it has a strong New Orleans feel and will definitely make you Old Crow Medicine Show fans happy. The stripped down version of They Killed John Henry shows off Justin's picking skills and his ability to make the listener feel as if he is telling this tale for the first time. Mama's Eyes is a deeply personal song about his relationship with his famouse father singer songwriter Steve Earl and mother. Justin Townes Earl is a young talent that has shown growth and as a fan I hope that it is only the begining check out Midnight at the Movies. If you like it also check out The Good Life.
