Justin Townes Earle has a new music video out for "Time Shows Fools." The album is called "Single Mothers" and he says this about its more "country" sound:
This is the first record I’ve made that will be recreated live. There really is no difference between country and the blues—old country, not the bullshit we have today. They came from the church. The only thing is a fucking railroad track was between them. That’s the only fucking difference. Those songs could be interpreted as country, or they could be interpreted as R&B and blues. I started off with acoustic blues, that’s what wanted to make me play guitar, and got me further into guitar than power chords did as a teenager. I find that the stuff on this record comes back to something that’s a little more natural to me, drifting back to the sounds of the delta and Memphis. That music was very influential to my growth as a musician.
