Re: Justin Townes Earle RIP
A rugged and raw singer and songwriter. I really enjoyed his music, although I never got to see him live. He battled some demons at times.
Re: Justin Townes Earle RIP
He lived exactly as hard as you thought. I'd met him a couple times, never sober. This one's a real shame.
Re: Justin Townes Earle RIP
He was one of my favorites. I was shocked when I read this. RIP.
Re: Justin Townes Earle RIP
This one hurts really badly. He had an innate ability to beautifully and artistically channel the pain and demons he battled into incredibly beautiful music and lyrics. Fantastic story teller. If you ever heard him speak, he seemed to be a real student of the music that came before him.
I think every music fan has a select few artist that really do it for them, and he was one of mine. I know I’m going to miss him. RIP.

Yeah, he’s on the short list of artists I really connect with at a personal level. This one hurts. There’s a guy named Ryan Montbleau that basically writes songs specifically for me it seems, but JTE may be next on the list.

This one captures him so well, IMO.
