Justin Townes Earle To Deliver Harlem River Blues in September
06/25/2010
.
Justin Townes Earle's new album, Harlem River Blues, will be released by Bloodshot Records on September 14. Woody Guthrie once said, "Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple." On Harlem River Blues, Justin Townes Earle takes that lesson to heart, making a statement without making a wall of sound.
Compared to the much-lauded Midnight at the Movies, Harlem River Blues is more mature and increasingly nuanced, while still embracing the raw voice and clean sound of previous standout tracks like "Mama's Eyes." Featuring guest appearances from Jason Isbell, Bryn Davies and Calexico's Paul Niehaus, it's rockin' and reelin' at times, sweet and slow at others – and it's great. Like good fried chicken, a well-cut suit and a hand made guitar, there's heaven to be found in the beautifully crafted simpler things.
