 Justin Townes Earle gives us the best of 2009
Submitted on: 2009-10-28 |

Justin Earle has slightly refined his edgy sound from the Good Life and given us one of the best albums of 2009 in the process. I can honestly say that Midnight at the Movies is just short of a masterpiece. You could try put it into a certain category of music. You could try and compare Earle to hundreds of different artists. But neither of those would be giving credit where credit is do.
This is the sort of album that you can listen to over and over. You'll find yourself enjoying the songs more each time you listen to them. The thing I love most about this album is that Earle isn't afraid to cut out the fluff and get straight to the point. That goes for when he's rocking out with the cover Can't Hardly Wait or when he's taking a more emotional look at things with Someday I'll Be Forgiven For This. The brutal honesty of his vivid songwriting is best showcased in my two personal favorites Mama's eyes and Midnight at the Movies.
If it sounds like I'm crazy about this album...well...it's because I am. Midnight at the Movies is an album that is both refreshing and original. Earle's music isn't something that you stumble across everyday. It's a rare gem that your lucky to find and will want to cherish for a long time to come. Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed. Justin Townes Earle is going to be a name you'll be hearing a lot of in the future. |

His own man.

Sure, I'll admit that I bought this disc without reading the reviews or any other knowledge of Justin other than his is Steve Earle's son...and he was named after Townes. I mean, this is the kid Steve wrote the song "Little Rock N Roller" for, Right? So my expectations were not great, I figured he would try and be like his father (Some REALLY big boots to fill) and make some money off the family name. From the opening song, all of that went out the window. Justin Townes Earle is his own man, his own singer/songwriter/musician...and a damn good one at that. If I were to hear this collection of songs without knowing who it was, I would not guess there is any relation between the man who wrote these songs and Steve Earle. I have ordered everything that Justin has recorded. It is too early to tell how he will compare to his old man, but this kid has some nice boots of his own...I can't wait to see how big they get.

| Great album from beginning to end. If you like Toby Keith or Kenny Chesney don't buy this album. Actually, you probably should buy it if you listen to them. |

| JTE is following in his father's footsteps but with a distinguished style of his own right. It is a very thoroughly well written album without any by-product filler. I accredit this to his Dads teachings. Each song is fully mastered musically as well. Very clean, concise playing with lots of magic and soul. Thank goodness we have another generation to look forward to. |
