I saw him do this live at a radio station in Dallas. Had interviewed him a couple of weeks prior to his show. He told me he was having a hard time. That’s what Slippin and Slidin was about. He said it his apology about his junkie habits. I just wanted to take home, feed him and let him sleep in my son’s bedroom until he was better. Such a sweet, gifted guy. 💔
Me, too, Helen. Missed out on most of him till now. Harlem River Blues was my limited look into the guy. Now I know the absolute brilliance of him, and I love his
Cryed a good day straight for him, can't stop watching all of my favorites, he was one of a kind, I just hate the way the demons in our human lives take away the best people, such a waste of life and talent!!
I remember seeing him open for old crow medicine show at the Tennessee theater in Knoxville like 10 years ago more or less lol he was good then but his newer stuff like this really has soul and speaks to me as a fellow addict I relate to this song a lot.
I'm no expert but I did stay at a holiday in last night and I I think I can hear a lot of passion on top of the natural talent. Definitely my kind of music. I wish I could surround myself with people like this. He seems truly authentic and complex to the point that it must seem like a curse sometimes. Probably capable of extremely rich conversations and undieing loyalty when it comes to otger people that can hold their own in a rich conversation and also understand the value of loyalty.
Sad loss. Shame when his dad had his first son ,he called his parents and apologised for everything he had done. And " got it at that point " . V sad justin ended up with issues anyway. And alot of this reflected in his lyrics. Musically , in my opinion he was in better form than his father in the last decade, who put a few to many cover albums out. BEAST OF A TUNE THIS. Deeply regret not seeing him play live in Liverpool in 07. Bless
Agreed, for once the producers knew how to handle this beaut with the subtle horns n all (when usually just JTE and his guitar and singing was best) this is so soulful

I saw him in San Diego, he can definitely hold his own.
I spoke to him after his show in York, PA. I could have talked with him all night. Definitely an awesome guy.
I was there! thanks for posting all these!!!!
R.I.P. damn you were good. The world will out on a wonderful man.
Rest in peace Justin ❤
Shaking the Earth, even after.
2019 and still listening...
well.. your weakness seems to have gotten the best of you old friend :( RIP and thank you for this song.
This man got to the end of his life early cuz he leaned into it. You could say, then, that he lived less than most, but you'd be wrong.
Please Justin, want to be with you in heaven.
He's damn amazing.
Slippin' and Slidin'
