Addicted!
Happened to here a song from this CD on my local radio station that served as the impetus to purchase this CD---and well, I'm hooked! There's just something about Earle's vocals that make his songs stick in my brain. I'm not a country fan by any means, but the songs on this CD have more of a texas swing, a little indie, and a bit of southern rock vibethat appeal to me. I was surprised at how youg Earle is to have such a full-bodied sound. My favorite is Sugar Babe-can't get enough of it!

Great Country Album
I saw Justin in concert the other night, and he put on an impressive show. His voice sounds wise beyond its years, and he has an amazing stage presence. Above all, the music on this album is wonderful. I'm not even that big of a country fan, but this music is great. In a day when most of the commercially successful country music is diluted with elements of pop, it is very refreshing to have an artist bring it all back home. Highly recommended.

Steve Earle's genes create greatness!
Wow! I love this album, and when the last song ends I just start it back around. Steve Earle raised this boy up right!

Like father, like son
Justin Townes Earle's music has a lot of the same qualities as his father's (Steve Earle). This is a really good track from a really good album. Highly recommended for any fan of singer-songwriter/alternative country/Americana music.

Unexpected
I really had no idea what to expect from this album. I knew the lineage but hadn't heard anything about it when I put on the headphones at my local shop's listening station. It sounded really great from the start and the amount of "country" it contained blew me away. I guess I thought there would be some amount of over-production or pretention given who His parent(s) and in-laws are. If there is any, I can't find it. This album is creative and really goes back to what I would call "old-school" country. Ya, ya think Hank Williams Sr. I can't come up with a better example but I never claimed to be at all creative. Lucky for us Justin Townes Earle is and this album hasn't lost it's shine even after I listened to it through a number of times. "The Good Life" stands alone as a great album by a creative artist regardless of how he may be compared to his father. That being said, He does a great job living up to his namesake(s)!
