Mama's Eyes, Justin Townes Earle By Amanda on January 23, 2009 10:03 PM | Permalink | Comments (2)
I mentioned in my Justin Townes Earle at the Annandale rave that he did a new song about his parents. A studio version is now up at the Bloodshot site. (direct link to MP3 -- this link was wrong, fixed now) From his new album out March which far, far, far too long away. Just ... wow.
Hat tip No Depression. Also see there for info on a new Buddy and Julie Miller record.

Hi Amanda,
We saw him a couple of night's ago, supporting Kathy Mattea - he was a revelation - Hank Williams incarnate. He sang Mama's Eye's and made it clear in the introduction that he and his old man don't see eye to eye on anything much. He performed for an hour. Kathy was great too.

I just read your JTE at the Annandale review - I agree completely that he has an air of danger about him - maybe that is inherited from his dad. It's part of a potent mix.
