Virtually everybody who knows me, knows about my love for Steve Earle but his son Justin Townes is coming up on the rails. I've seen him twice this year and apart from being the most impressive guitarist I've ever seen (my criteria) he's also currently pretty much the best white singer around.
A troubled young man and a wonderful talent (how often do we hear those phrases together). Sadly, by the look of him last week unless he starts taking more care of himself we could soon be talking about him in the past tense.
Listen to this beautiful version of Mama's Eyes and weep.
