This breaks my heart. Had the pleasure of meeting JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE after he did a concert in Florida about three years ago after the show. He was followed into my favorite tavern by about twenty fans seeking autographs. He very kindly and patiently signed them all and then sidled up to the bar by my side to order a drink. I asked him what he did to earn that kind of attention and he all too modestly replied: "Oh, just sing some songs is all." OMG. What an understatement that was. I bought him a drink and we had a smoke while we drank and talked for nearly an hour and he was so interesting and down-to-earth. It was an honor getting to spend some time with such an immensely talented young man. Sometimes lying right on the cusp of greatness is the darkest abyss. RIP JTE.

What a tragic loss Justin. It comes as little surprise why our Good Lord took you home. I can listen to you for hours and a day. God Bless you and your family. Our loss is huge but their loss is great. Shine on brother. Amen
This dude always gave props to his mom for raising a singer songwriter and now there’s a show called “from the cradle to the stage “ about moms of rockstars I wish he was around for it this dude saved me plenty of nights I was on the edge
Yup him and Steve had a weird relationship for a while there. We are like 4th cousins but Justin and I are the same age so we hung out the few times he would come back to Earles chapel for reunions . Im going to his birthday celebration in Nashville in January. It's weird I didn't know how good at writing he was. Such a sad deal. He is named after Townes van Zandt and Steve Earles son .
My mom passed less than a week ago. Been up nights and whenever the feeling strikes playing country tunes and songs she loved to help the heartache. Woke up this morning to see another loss. RIP Justin and Mama.

I've never been so upset at an artists passing. I related a lot to your music, going though rollercoaster of addiction RIP sir. Your were a true musician.

I had the pleasure of seeing Justin several times in Portland OR. From the first time I heard him play “halfway to Jackson” I was hooked. He had a major impact on my taste in music and the way I play guitar. He’s gone too early. I pray he finds peace in the arms of the savior.
"I was a young man when I first found the pleasure in the feel of a sin" - beautiful/sad line - beautiful/sad song - I'm very pleased to have found this young singer through his father - but definitely his own man.
I think thats one of the best lyrics I've ever heard. This song hits me hard. He is my cousin same age and we had the same demons. I'm driving to Nashville in the morning for his 40th birthday tribute show.
A songwriting legend, this is true. My son hurts like this. Except he has his dads long thin frame and his fathers brown eyes but his heart is in the, right from wrong and "I know to do better", which sadly my sons' father said of his father.
Justin: Thank you. I’m thankful to have seen you live three times. The last show, it was just you and a guitar. You were hurting, but man you were amazing that night. I’ll see you down the road, JTE.

Oh hearts are broken by the news you are no longer standing with us..You did leave a pieces of yourself through your music!!! You were so damn talented, kind, handsome and a little lost. Those that fight the demons know how much it takes from you and every time you just don’t given in you lose a little more strength. You will be sooooo missed hearing your beautiful voice and seeing your gorgeous eyes I hope your at peace and now you can rest... Love ya Justin
God Bless the Earle Family! I have listened to Steve my whole life, this is the first song ive heard of his son, very sad for their loss. This was one heck of a song to say the least!
I can hear you breathe. I listen - Captivated by the sound in my ears of your voice; Raw and beautiful. With breaths soft and sweet, Like parma violets on the tongue. Breath you catch between lyrics that echo pain; And tells a story of a troubled soul - now at peace. EK❤️
I listened to this guy about 4 to 5 months ago and was digging a few songs on UA-cam. Come back tonight after a few drinks to see Rip in the comments. Wasn't aware of his death until now. Rest in peace Justin. 38 is too young to go. My thoughts are with his family, friends and fans.
I'm really sad that I've only recently heard of his music. I cant stop listening. He was such an amazing talent. His lyrics deeply resonate with me and its such a shame that I will never be able to see him perform live... RIP Justin Townes Earle, I hope that your soul has found peace.
And there he stood. Six foot Five, thin and covered in tattoos, swaying from side to side. Wearing a vintage suit and Buddy Holly's glasses. Beating that parlor guitar up, heaving his breath as he sneered every word, singing something about the Harlem River Blues. He was so much like a preacher, and so fucking cool. And he's a better writer than his father. You know, you forget he's his daddy's son when he sings about having his Mama's eyes. Love you, JT
Came to Justin’s music via his old man, who I got to from Guy Clark and TVZ. Man, what a beautiful soul, and what a loss. I spent 15-25 wild and battled addiction, still do. His music gets to me deep down, and his songs and words are extraordinary. Justin belongs in the canon of great American songwriters with Guy, Townes and the best. RIP you beautiful man.

I found him on Amazon prime and loved him. But when I heard this song for the first time I must have repeated it 20 times. Great artist and very original song. This and Lone Pine Tree rock.

Such a powerful song. I feel for his mother. His wife set up a gofundme. Please help if you can. He left a little daughter. This covid is horrific for starving artists who can't tour and so many others . God Bless this young man's family.

That’s a great story. Sometimes, the best gift you can give to someone like him is just to treat him like a normal person.
@@Bastikovski99I take your point..but JTE was far from "normal" if ya get me? He was special..the honesty always shines through
What a tragic loss Justin. It comes as little surprise why our Good Lord took you home. I can listen to you for hours and a day. God Bless you and your family. Our loss is huge but their loss is great.
Shine on brother.
Amen
The very face of addiction singing a song of truth and pain and glory. Love this man so much.
This dude always gave props to his mom for raising a singer songwriter and now there’s a show called “from the cradle to the stage “ about moms of rockstars I wish he was around for it this dude saved me plenty of nights I was on the edge
I've been there, and I'm damn glad to have him in my ear holes, sorry he is gone

You will be sorely missed, young man. Rest In Peace.
How did he die?
@Kelp Farming Yes he was , very young , apparently you don't have kids , grand kids , gr-grand kids , so shut your mouth Moron !!
@Kelp Farming You are definitely a Moron , to me a moron is the worst of the worst , I'd say take care but you do not deserve that !!!
@Kelp Farming I believe that you should change your Kelp Farming ID to 100% MORON.

The world lost a truly precious gem when J.T.E left us!
God rest your soul & thanks for wonderful music ❤
Just a gorgeous song. You will be missed. Rest In Peace.
This song breaks my heart. I love Justin.
He was just a kid in the street. His music means a lot.
What a beautiful song. This man was an exceptional songwriter and performer. We lost one of the very great ones. His music won’t be forgotten.
“I was a young man when, I first found the pleasure in the feel of a sin” beautiful line, just damn beautiful. RIP to a good one
Gone too soon.
Amazing how someone can care so much, observe so much and to top it off, write it down and sing it! Me I don't care, but i do observe everything.
RIP Justin Townes Earle. Oh, the music we’ve lost. Such a treasure and gone too soon.
Really bothers me that l didn't know about this talented young man until now. Been listening to all l can find now. Prayers for the family.
Same

There’s always so much finesse in his playing. Really a legend.
I've never been so upset at an artists passing. I related a lot to your music, going though rollercoaster of addiction RIP sir. Your were a true musician.
My son text me the morning with this news and I'm crying. This just really sucks

It still hurts me too brother

I can't stop listening to him since his untimely passing. Truth oozes outta his music, there aint many left like that. And thats a shame.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written. WOW.

Thank you Mr. Vincent Neil Emerson for introducing this beautiful music to me 👍
About as beautiful as the word was intended to mean. JTE rest easy hombre.
World is that little bit dimmer than it was a day ago. A spark of vibrance was extinguished.

A talent lost but music not forgotten in peace may you rest
Love JTE’s music. He will be missed. I saw him every show I could over the past 10 years. RIP JTE.
What a loss. A true gem of a person and an impeccable talent.
Beautiful song. Thanks man. RIP.
Brilliant Song by a Brilliant Artist... Rest Easy brother
The really sad thing is, we are left with the music he has already done and will never get to hear what was yet to come. RIP Justin.
JT Earle is fantastic, but that aside. Kudos to y'all at OurVinyl, the recordings, man oh man, sheer quality. It's like you're right there, listening to the music.
Thank you so much! That's what we strive for...
Martyred genuinely at the concrete steps to the altar of his art.
Rest in peace, Sweet Prince. You have your Mama's eyes.
When you hear the truth, you know it...and the truth sounds beautiful...🙏
Such a wonderful talent. Rest In Peace. May God bless your family and friends.
This is still too raw for me . Used to get me every time when JTE was still here. Now its just too hard. Tears are running down my face.
Appreciate you sharing that with us, man. Hope the music can someday turn that hurt into healing. Thanks for being a part of our community.
Brilliant song writer...will be missed
Possibly the best song I've ever heard
That is amazing!
he still touches peoples spirits, may your spirit live on forever cowboy.
He had a true gift! Thanks for watching, Kat.
Such a talented individual. Such a loss. Thank you for all your music, sir.
His dad was gone a long time ago...
Life is too precious to let the disease win; there is help and it works, take it and live.
His dad, Steve Earle is alive and has been sober for many years
What are you talking about? His dad is alive and sober...
I'm sure other people feel like this is their life story. Literally am my fathers son but have my mommas heart and her eyes. Miss her more than you'd belive. ♥
Still missing you, you are loved and never forgotten. Rest in peace my friend.
One of his best songs, what a terrible loss
I saw like 36 thumbs down on this song....how can you listen to this and not be moved? Will be missed

Just discovered him after his death, amazing artist so sad
Just flat out awesome!
Love this song. Hate the fact it reminds me so much of myself.
Rest in Piece, JTE. You were one of the truly great ones. RIP.
Quite a uniqu artist. He certainly gives off his own vibe and writes from the heart.
