Justin Townes Earle - 'Wanderin'' - KXT Live Sessions

"Wanderin'"
Justin Townes Earle, son of musician Steve Earle and the namesake of Townes Van Zandt, is no stranger to the troubled times he sings about in his songs. The singer-songwriter struggled with drug addiction most of his life, but ultimately kicked the habit and put his life back in order. His blend of folk, blues, and country has an old-fashioned feel to it. He released his third album, "Harlem River Blues", earlier this year and stopped by the KXT studios to play a few songs during the KXT Afternoon Show.

I was there. Had interviewed him for a show in Dallas. He invited me to come to the studio earlier in the day of the show. He was struggling, you could tell. He also did Slipping and Sliding. I just wanted to hug him, feed him and let him rest. Bless his sweet gentle soul. 💔

thank you Mr. Earle for paying homage to some of the best music in the world. You are appreciated and you will be remembered for your respect for your roots. I love everything you do.

Even though his father will always be my great favorite, I love Justin's voice. God bless him.

No doubt about the kids got talent. Old man stands in the shadows.

From the "Americana Files", they play this on WSM radio all the time.

Oh alright. I know what pickups are. I just didn't know they have them for acoustic guitars as well. Thanks though sir! :)

Amazing how much he looks like his daddy circa 1985.

[zickscittswinn]

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is that thing in the center of his acoustic guitar? And what does it do? Thank you!

[habertree]

@ocmslover no, he was pretty messed up here.

Not a big fan of his music. Just found out that he even existed today. Listened to a few of his songs.. hated them all except this one.
