When we say Justin Townes Earle knows about the creative underbelly of Nashville (and Chicago, and the Ozarks, and...) we're not kidding around. Justin spent a majority of his teenage years nursing bluegrass, ragtime, alt-country and very bad habits including the abuse of alcohol, cocaine, and a cornucopia of other "weirdness". Finally, after getting the boot from his father Steve Earle's tour band, Justin Townes Earle went sober, came down, and released the jaw-dropping Yuma followed closely by The Good Life. His latest release, Midnight at the Movies, has been raking in rave reviews from Sound Opinions, Paste, Performing Songwriter, Pitchfork, and more. He's played SXSW and the Grand Ole Opry in the past year. Yesterday, I got to chat with Justin about hitting the ground running (or trotting, if he gets his way).
