You should do yourself a favor and pick up this album.
Long story made short... I bought this as an impulse buy at Grimeys during Record Store Day on Saturday and it has completely blown me away. "Who Am I to Say" damn near made me cry when I first heard it.
I really love his track @ the end of Steve's American Boy.
Tried to pick up his debut a couple of times but couldn't find it...
I fell in love with him..his music..the style when we first saw him live. The CD is a great companion.
2 tracks from his new album Midnight At The Movies out Mar 3rd:

x2 !!!!!!!! Terrific...Bummed I wasn't in town a few weeks ago when he played here. Hope he stays clean.
he is awesome indeed. his last show here in the city was really good. he's playing with a fiddle player and stand up bassist. great full sound.
this was from the other night on Letterman:
Justin Townes Earle Performs "Harlem River Blues" on Letterman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LLqFF89UtU#ws)
I love JTE. Seen him a couple of times and he's coming back to Oz in March too!
The new album is great. Especially Rogers Park. I get chills.
seeing JTE tonight at the Bolton Center on Long Island. Nice small intimate venue.
Will report in tomorrow.
sweet
Just started getting into Justin late last year. I have to say I enjoy Midnight at the Movies way more than Harlem River Blues...What are other peeps thoughts on his albums? Is HRB a grower? I was into MATM from the opening sec. to the last on first listen.

I love them both but MATM is my favorite..
but Keep listening--it IS a grower..
I've become a big fan of HRB. Better with each listen.
Saw him live a few wks ago. Good but not as good as his performance with a full band including Jason on late night TV. He was just solo with an acoustic guitar.
Funny and very self deprecating. Good show but would rather see with full band.
His dad will be touring with the Dukes again this summer and that will be a must see.
Don't have M at the M but will look for it.

I agree, I just think MATM is the better record overall. Harlem River has its moments though.
Just glad to see him healthy and touring again.
BOOM!!!

reviews i've seen have been mixed but I feel it's pretty classic Earle, with the memphis soul addition. I can't stand the reviews which complain that he didn't expound on HRB...as I've said before as good as HRB is, I still think Midnight at the Movies is my fav album by him and technically his best.
Thanks for the heads-up wolof! Been looking forward to this album for quite some time. I'll stream it when I get some time on my hands today. Can't wait!
Streaming now. "Look the Other Way" is an immediate standout. JTE has a killer voice, and the extra emphasis on soul only adds to it.
picked this up yesterday. Very Solid record is my first impression. Love the live production of it with JTE's vocals kinda raw and very forward in the mix. Stand outs so far are the title track, Maria, Memphis in the Rain and Movin' On. These songs should all sound great live. Looking forward to the upcoming shows.
Also, quite a few references to Dad again on this one...
Just finished up my first listen. JTE has put out another great record. Has a great cohesive feel to it. It may be his best songwriting yet (and that's saying something). The songs have a very personal feel to them. This guy continues to climb the ranks of my favorite artists.
Streaming it now. JTE never fails. I love Look The Other Way and Lower East Side so far.
I hope my pre-order comes in the mail before Bluesfest.
Edit: Movin' On is really awesome aswell.
I've listened through the album several times and continue to be more and more impressed with each successive listen. The album has a great feel to it. I don't really understand the reviews that say he didn't expound upon HRB. He's had a soulful vibe in all of his albums, most prominently in HRB, that is before this one. And I just can't get over the songwriting on this album. JTE is one of my very favorite artists right now and I'm super excited to see him on his upcoming tour.
On Letterman tonight.
New album out on Sept 9th and a full tour to follow!

Yay! Can't wait. Seeing him again in October.
The new album's been on non stop in my car. Anyone else heard it? Love the last song.
