oh boy

JTE covers my favourite Buddy Holly song. Swooning all over the goddamn joint.

Stole an hour in a hotel room with Justin Towne Earle this afternoon(hmmm not like that), he has a fresh tattoo and laconic charm to spare. And those girls on the record covers? It's kind of a James Bond thing.

yeah, and hell yeah too

Justin Townes Earle, who has really waltzed into my heart these last few months is out of rehab and back on tour. Which includes Australia! I'll die if I don't see him, no kidding.

perfectly lethal

This guy comes on like a cross between tattooed rockabilly bad boy and Gram Parsons-style country crooner, a near perfect combination.

Sure he's currently in rehab but then country music, not to mention rock & roll in general has always been a haven for the beautifully fucked-up. If you can turn a good  story out of your heartbreak and hard living you're welcome. 

It's a hell of a name to live up to - Justin Townes Earle. And the thing is, he does.

(did I mention he does a great Replacements cover?)
