Description

In most cases, the work of a famous musician's kid is nature's way of telling listeners to stay away. There's good reason for that: raised to the top via nepotism and name recognition, most children of notable artists have barely earned their stripes. Justin Townes Earle stands as one of the rare exceptions: estranged from his father Steve Earle for much of his youth, Earle made a name for himself in country music the hard way. This is evidenced in Earle's work—roadweary songs that draw from ’40s and ’50s folk and western swing more than they do the family trust. Despite the family brand, Justin Townes Earle is undoubtedly his own man. - Paul M. Davis sanjose.com
