The album begins with \u201cAm I That Lonely Tonight?\u201d a solemn dirge that references his famous father, Steve. Going forward, Earle shuffles through a variety of genres\u2014blues, folk and gospel\u2014like an eager traveler winding down America\u2019s highways. His unvarnished voice sounds right at home among instrumental fills of upright bass and soulful horns. Earle essays a number of weepy ballads, but also shows the arrogance of a stubborn rogue. When admitting his troubles with women (\u201cMaria,\u201d \u201cUnfortunately, Anna\u201d) and addressing his recent stint in rehab (\u201cWon\u2019t Be the Last Time\u201d), you can hear echoes of Dad\u2019s headstrong attitude. This talented troubadour has carried his own hard-won lessons, both painful and empowering, all the way to the brink and back. \u2013Blake Boldt<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE Nothing\u2019s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now [Bloodshot Records] On his fourth album, Justin Townes Earle\u2019s lonesome croon is a cool salve for the downhearted.
