  • Justin Townes Earle's second performance on Letterman performing 'Look The Other Way' on 28 February 2012. Stick around for Letterman's praise at the end - "a very nice boost of spirits"!
    This one disappeared from the internet a while ago as far as I can tell; it's heartbreaking to share it again under these circumstances. Hopefully it can stay up for the sake of posterity.
    Rest in peace JTE.

    It's always fun to see Dave get excited about a musical guest and every time JTE came on the show you could tell Dave was a fan.

    A long time fan, I just found out about his death. I'm still in disbelief. I thought he was doing better since he got married and had a kid. This sucks so bad. I live in Canada and I always thoght I might make a road trip across the border to see him live one day. He was an original.

    he had the feel of a gifted tortured soul in the same realm of Hank Williams SR in my humble opinion

    I remember seeing this before and kind of wondered if Dave held the album upside down at the end because JTE sarcastically thanks the state of Indiana on the back cover. Probably not, though.

    Justin’s guitar is horribly out of tune. Maybe why this was buried. Still a great performance and still one of my all time favorites. I’d put him up there with his namesake and father. RIP JTE.

    Well JTE kicked arse live with a good band huh? Clearly, he was a tortured soul you can see right here the effects of drugs in his composure. He thought he needed to destroy himself to make art he said.....

    • @dylanwylde4093
      @dylanwylde4093 4 роки тому +1

      He actually said that he got over that. But the covid nonsense didn't help. Many have slipped back into depression and addiction. He said himself he was trying to be a better dad but he didn't know how to do anything else. Brother was on the road since 15...
