Townes Earle Lives Up To The Name

I hear alot of new music pass by my ear. Most of it I just push to the side and leave it, its forgettable. Some however I just can't seem to let leave, it sticks to you. Eating away at your brain but in a good way. Its a pleasure for me to listen to such a talent as Justin Townes Earle. He has a sense of old time music. Being the son of Steve Earle how can you not grow up listening to great music and being influenced by the best. His tempo on Mama Said is flawless and the guitar strings just purr like a kitten under his fingers. The song is beautiful and sounds as if it was written in the 50's. Thats what I love about Townes Earle, even though its 60 years later you don't have to sound new. More instruments the better is not the case, just your voice and a simple guitar is all you need and that's the way it should be. Today's music is overproduced and overdone. Keep it raw and uncut Justin, its what will make your fans and your daddy proud.
