Re: Justin Townes Earle has died !

These are some of my faves of JTE  - So Sad he is gone.   He was just a kid with immense talent, a big heart, and a wicked beautiful smile.

I encourage all of my chordie friends to give a listen !

Re: Justin Townes Earle has died !

Jim that is sad I didn't realized he has passed away and so young. The last time he toured New Zealand was only in August of 2019. He played a gig at a local club here in Wellington on that tour. I liked his style of songwriting and performing and the way his lyrics told stories. Unfortunately I didn't get to his gigs when he played here but I heard he was good live..

I didn't know Justin Towns Earle died already, this is a really big loss to the music world. He is one of my favorite musicians.
