- The new album 'J.T.' is available January 4: newwst.com/sejtID
On the forthcoming album, J.T., Steve Earle & The Dukes pay tribute to Steve’s late son, Justin Townes Earle (J.T.), who passed away on August 20, 2020 in Nashville. The album will be released digitally on what would have been Justin’s 39th birthday, January 4, 2021, via New West Records.
J.T. finds Steve Earle & The Dukes covering 10 of Justin’s songs - from “I Don’t Care,” which appeared on his 2007 debut EP, Yuma, and a trio of selections from his full-length debut album, The Good Life (“Ain’t Glad I’m Leaving,” “Far Away In Another Town” and “Lone Pine Hill”) to later compositions like 2017’s “Champagne Corolla” and 2019’s “The Saint Of Lost Causes,” which was the title track of Justin’s eighth and final studio album. J.T. closes with “Last Words,” a song Steve wrote for Justin.
100% of the artist advances and royalties from J.T. will be donated to a trust for Etta St. James Earle, the three-year-old daughter of Justin and Jenn Earle. While somber in parts, the album is ultimately a rousing celebration of a life lived with passion and purpose. The recording features the latest incarnation of Steve’s backing band, The Dukes - Chris Masterson on guitar, Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle & vocals, Ricky Ray Jackson on pedal steel, guitar & dobro, Brad Pemberton on drums & percussion, and Jeff Hill on acoustic & electric bass. - Фільми й анімація

Anyone else think it’s incredibly heart-warming/breaking that he changed “father” to “daddy”???
anybody else get all misty listening to this the first time?
Definitely! It’s still getting me on the fourth listen.
Yea this is one of my favorites of JTE

The father paying tribute and celebrating his son's artistry is a poignant and powerful expression of his grief. More than that, it is a pathway toward healing, not only for the family but for those whose lives were touched by Justin's music.
The choir at the end is so fitting.
Thank you Steve and Justin.
Loved the choir touch too, at the very end of the Harlem River Blues record a choir reprises the chorus just like that.
Ed b do you know Steve because even tho my stepdad is a huge fan ... I want to contact him somehow or let him know that he has another son out in the world and I never got a chance to meet him I'm pretty sure he'd like to meet the guy since it looks like Steve s*** him out of his ass 🤣 or maybe not maybe he don't give a s*** that the dude struggled his whole life and had s***** foster parents. That's right Steve if you're reading this one of one night stands led to a woman giving a kid up to adoption and that kids had a rough life but he's a good person it's one of my friends and he ain't trying to get in contact with you but I think it'd be cool for you guys to meet.
RIP Justin Townes Earle.
youtube needs a heart icon for this , thumbs up just doesn't express how much i love this .
💖
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I gotta say, I felt the same. What a song.
❤
I miss Justin and all the new music he would have written. RIP JTE
I feel selfish, but I've thought the same thing. He still had so much more great music in him that we'll never hear.
I heard Justin describe how much it meant to him when his Dad told him 'Mama's Eyes' was a good song. This album is the perfect way for his Dad to pay respects to Justin. And to raise funds for Justin's little daughter. I hope loads of people buy the album.
I'm getting the digital copy as soon as it comes out but plan to get the CD also for the artwork.
I definitely will for Etta
What a wonderful thing to do. How can one song be so happy and yet so crushingly sad at the same time? Steve, your strength to do this is inspiring.
Yes, it is wonderful and crushingly sad. He is a strong guy. Prayers for him and all of his family.
The beauty and complexity of music,eh? Art at it's finest. RIP JTE.
Fuck 2020, was still reeling from John Prine when JT passed, here's hoping 2021 gives us all a reason to smile. Forever a part of the soundtrack of my life JT and his ole man.
Wow. Life has a lot of damn gaul being so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
Hasn't it just! Yup - that is Life in a nutshell.
Well said.
Tears rolling down my face as I listen to this, beautiful. One of my favorite JTE songs, and a perfect tribute. I’m so sorry for your loss Steve and the whole Earle family. 🖤
Steve Earle gets better every time
This song means a lot to me personally. Great job Steve. RIP Justin
If by some chance Steve reads this, just know that you and Justin are loved by many people all over the world. And know that’s Justin’s life, though short, bore much fruit. His songs aren’t going anywhere. He was a great songwriter and his songs will be listened to by many folks for a long, long time. And good lord could Justin pick a guitar! I will be buying this album on vinyl and I will encourage every lover of great songwriting to do so.
Justin's picking makes me want to practice and quit guitar all at the same time. His right hand was a machine.
Hear hear.
I was aware of Justin Townes Earle from a track on one of his Dad's CD's and their collaboration on "Avalon Blues," a compilation of Mississippi John Hurt songs. Then when I saw him play this masterpiece on David Letterman it just blew me away and I became a fan. I'm really glad that Steve and the Dukes did this.
That David letterman performance was amazing. Jason Isbell playing lead guitar and Paul Schaffer soloing . It was great and I wish that was how it sounded on the record . That was the first time I really saw jt perform and he's my cousin. Ive played guitar with him but had never seen him live . Since his passing I've went back through his catalog and alot of those tunes hit me hard being the same age and sharing alot of the same demons, his passing finally gave me the kick I needed to lay all that stuff down. Love his music and it means alot to me as well . We had planned to hang out when he came to Houston in October 2020 when I spoke to him last in June of that year and we lost him in August. It was so messed up the publicist released a press statement before most of the family knew. That's how his grandma found out and also how I found out when he was top trending on Twitter and fb . I thought he had a new hit at first my excitement left pretty quick. Now , he is buried close by in the family cemetery out in East Texas.
This made me cry. I know your pain and that empty hole that will always exist now. Every other day it seems someone I know dies
Wonderful tribute. With the proceeds going to help JTE's daughter, it's a beautiful thing, Steve. Sorry for your loss with the passing of Justin.
This is just heartbreaking...
I am so sorry your suffering through this ...
Not my kid but lost people myself this year..
That hurt more than I thought something could hurt so I can't imagine what your going through.
Take comfort he made a impact and left behind beautiful art and you couldn't have done a more fitting tribute
This made me cry like a baby the first time I heard it. "Tell my daddy I tried," I bawled.
That is a great comment
This is going to be one hell of an album. Really looking forward to it. It must have been a difficult album to make. So, so sad.
Thanks Steve
I Love This Song JTE was a great songwriter
What a FABULOUS song and an even better tribute to Justin Townes. Dancing!!!
Absolutely brilliant. Fantastic tribute to his very talented and loved son.
Wunderbahr!
Met Steve on my birthday at Fargo Theater in North Dakota in 2000 or so, signed a CD for me, best present ever for a huge guitar playing fan
Very sad loss and a fitting tribute. Saw JTE and band play a blistering set at St Bonn's in Bristol UK a few years back. Awesome.
Excellent Steve and gang! RIP JT
♥ Thank you for this lovely way to honor your son Steve, and also much love and respects to you and the family and the band ♥
I can not handle this, So Sad,,
I can't wait to until January 4th to get my copy. Finally, something good to look forward to in the new year. Your son would have loved this, Steve. RIP JTE 💚
Knowing Justin he probably would have had a few sarcastic critiques of it, and I think Steve likely knows this. Justin never minced words in his short life.
But I do think he'd be very happy to witness just how loved he was.
RIP Justin
I always did want to hear you record your own take on this song. It really is an American classic, or at least will be in the future. Justin's music hits me like a freight train every time I listen, and I'd say he earned his spot among your tributes to your other heroes.
I don't know how you ever recover from the wound caused by losing a child, but I hope that recording an album of your most-loved songs by him has brought you some semblance of peace. You and Justin are among my all-time heroes in country and folk and Americana, and this world feels very empty without him.
Whooooh Busta da F€#kin' Moveszzzz ! Love this song made from his late Son Justin Townes Earle R.I.P!
Goddamn, I felt that.
Nice one Steve you sprinkled a bit of your magic on this already great song RIP Justin and god bless you all.

Heartrending.
I love the beautiful art work on the cover. As well as this cover of Justin's wonderful song. ❤❤
The artist is Tony Fitzpatrick, one of Steve's good friends, who has done all his covers since I Feel Alright
Everything and more that you could hope for. I won't be streaming it - I'll be buying it.
Absolutely stellar, Steve. Justin would love this, you know it.
beautiful

Thank you for this amazing album Steve! JT would have been so proud. We all miss him, his music was great & thank God we can still listen to his songs. And you, you never disappoint! I've listened to & loved you since Guitar Town! Kudos! RIP JTE.
I found a free cd at work many years ago that came with a magazine... This track was on it and that's how I found Justin and he's been my fave solo act ever since. RIP LEGEND
So happy your doing this project! Justin will be looking down and smiling loud!
Exhilarating and heartbreaking. RIP JT and thank you Steve.
RIP JT. Love you still. You too Big STEVE!
Tell my mama I love her, tell my Father I tried, give my money to my baby to spend
Great song written by your son Justin
Even a good man will break...
OMG, where the hell was I that I didn't know that Steve lost his son. I'm listening to the power of this song and it's just taken it to a higher place knowing this. My condolences. This is beautiful music.
Thank you for all that you do. The world desperately needs artists/poets like you. ❤️❤️❤️
Hits me hard right in the feels. We miss you JTE.
This is my first time hearing this song i really like it
Check out Justin performing it on Letterman. ua-cam.com/video/5LLqFF89UtU/v-deo.html

I play this as a blues shuffle. Justin was a great songwriter.
Big thumbs up.
Speechless.

Props to you for this project..nothing worse than losing a child, though he was an adult

So much passion, pride and strength behind the voice, absolutely inspiring.
Nothing better then jamming to your music during this tropical storm. Im enjoying this. Your music always lift my soul on high...... Love you ✌what a blast.....😘

One of the most sincere wonderful performances ever.

Fucking heartbroken that you have to do this Steve.
God Bless Steve Earle 🙏
Oh mercy ❤️😢✌🏻

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
NICE!!!
holy fuck
Just preordered the album on itunes. Hate the reason this even had to be made, but it correctly puts Justin among the giants of songwriting, like Townes and Guy.
Truly devastating to have to make this album, by a Farther, for Son, about his lifetime of creativity ... cut way too short ...
