Justin Townes Earle: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2014
- We threw a curve ball at Justin Townes Earle. Despite his five albums full of well-loved songs, we asked him to play new material for this Tiny Desk Concert; songs we hadn't yet heard. Earle's new album Single Mothers comes out this week, and here he performs two tracks from that record: "White Gardenias," his nod to Billie Holiday, and "Burning Pictures."Based in Nashville, Earle is a strong lyricist with a father, Steve Earle, who similarly finds strength in perfectly crafted words. The younger Earle is on tour now, playing old and new songs, so here's a taste of his sharp songwriting to tide you over until he comes to your town. --BOB BOILEN
Set List:
"Burning Pictures"
"When The One You Love Loses Faith In You"
"White Gardenias"

This guy used to live in my apartment building in Nashville. I got the unique chance of drinking whiskey and playing guitar with him on several occasions. Imma novice guitar player and he always tried giving me tips. Super humble guy with a lot of passion.. rest easy and thanks for all the cigarettes
That's about the coolest thing I've read today. Just recently discovered him, though I've known of Steve Earle for a while, and it makes me sad that he's already gone. He seems like a good soul. What kinda whiskey did he drink?
that'd rad ! I know Dyland Leblanc who would always tell me how great of a Musician Justin is and how I would like him... He was right
@@nickmayer1383 that's such a cool experience, man. I'll have to drink some EW tonight and listen to some ole JTE.
Great Dude. Pretty much the same. Lived next to me in PDX. Don’t do Drugs kids. If you have to, test them.
@@levithomas915 Truth
2 years since his death and his music is still incredible and touches millions of lives
Huh? He died in 2020 I believe?
I just started listening to him on spotify and was so sad to find out what happened when I finally read his bio on spotify
Rest In Peace Justin. Really unfortunate to hear of his passing, incredible musician through and through
Just saw it on his facebook page a few minutes ago...I am shocked & saddened.. 2020 sucks.
Sad loss of a great talent :(
James Joiner They all hurt, but this one, eh?
Thinking that I missed his entire career makes me very sad. I can't stop listening to him.
RIP 🙏 ☮️ Awesome not sure why but reminds me of Robin Williams passing
I know what you mean. But, really when you think about it we aren’t missing a thing :).
It’s still nothing more and nothing less than little bite-sized pieces of himself accompanied by music. He was such an intimately charged artist that his music truly has a way of making the listener feel truly special and at times even privileged.
RIP traveler
Theres alot of us who feel that way. Some people only get famous after they are gone and it's a shame. He deserved to have known how much he impacted people
Me either
Justin is the spark that resurrected Americana music . To me he gave me hope. Growing up a punk rock kid and finding your own voice with this style of music. And the struggle with addiction. He has given me a voice and a passion along with many others ...even after his death . And those of us that knew about him all these years it's like we were part of a small club that was aware he existed and no one else did. He was the coolest person ever. Thank you Justin .
Thank you - you said what I've been looking for😎☮️
I wanted to write something profound & elegant but honestly just too gutted for words. Rest easy my friend.
Did he not see his dad much or even if not did they have a good relationship anyway?
@@oppothumbs1 if I’m not mistaken they had a bad relationship for a long time, it eventually rekindled it. I think I saw an interview about it a while back. But I can’t be certain.
You don’t have to say anything. He knows.
Forgive me cause I only discovered Justin within the last year, I fell in love with his sound. I only have ever listened to his records. Having only listened to his records and added him to playlists on Spotify, I didn’t know much about him, and had no idea that he passed. I was just now after all this time going to look up to see if he tours, and that’s how I found out. Thank you for everything Justin. Rest in peace my friend, what a beautiful and inspirational imprint you left on the world.
I can't believe he's gone. Can't wrap my head around it. RIP JTE
Remember finding him around 10 years ago when I was searching for inspiration... he gave me a great deal of it.. I really enjoyed his music and lyrics..goodness I hate hearing about his passing. Lord help his family.. goodness goodness goodness... RIP.. You sure made your father proud..
I come back to this often. God rest your soul Justin. Wish I could have seen you
Dang... your music is powerful. Your guitar playing and the pain in each lyric is everything. A great talent taken too soon
Ken Laatz howd he die
@@epakerd Hey have not released that information yet
epakerd an article says it looks like a drug overdose. I really thought he was going to beat his demons. I’m heartbroken.
@@-TheRealScubasteve- His sobriety was always shaky. Wish he had beaten it, but it was deep.
Indeed brother
Crushed by news of Justin's passing. His music will live on forever. RIP
He was an absolute beast. I saw him six or seven times live and he was magnetic and incredible every single time. This is rough. But what a collection we’re left with.
Here just remembering the man I had the pleasure of meeting one day as a child, one of my favorite memories I’ll treasure forever. A beautiful artist and man.
My hope for strength for his family and friends,peace to Justin,and only saw him live once but saw the beauty,and sincerity in his words.
RIP Justin. Thank you for your beautiful music.
RIP Man!Thanks for making us feel the love within us.
Discovered his music since hes passed, and i have grown to love his music so much that it feels like a real loss. Tragic, such a talented and unique talent. Opiates steal beautiful peoples lives, hits close to home for me.
Quite magical this performance, I got to meet him back in 2010 very nice and humble bloke love from Australia , Rest Easy Justin .
Grateful for the music that lives on.
He's been clean and sober for a while now, and I cannot get enough of his music, like in life you never get ahead, and music, well there is always something you miss for me it was JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE ........ What a voice, what a musician, what an incredible human being for sharing his talent with us !!!

RIP Justin! I loved you and your music. Thanks for all the good times and great songs. I’ll keep playing you every time I think about you. Rest easy big man.
So sorry for your loss Steve Earle, Mom and family, there is nothing like losing a child.
I always keep coming back to this version of Burning Pictures. A real tear jerker
Man I love everything that this guy has to offer, music, stories, love, loss . His magnitude was to big for this earth rest east Justin
I can't get him out of my mind.... any song of Justine is simply amazing.... with band, without still great songwriter and musician....
A quiet favorite. I never really felt the need to go into detail why i adored his lyrics. It is what it is. Great guitar picker. "TIred of starting fires and burning pictures" Yeah... Rest in power. T
I'm hearing this for the first time and I am in tears. What a beautiful soul, rest easy.
Rest in Peace Justin You will always be in my mind Thanks for all fantastic songs
May His Memory Be a Blessing
Keep watching the video of him on Dave Letterman. RIP Justin. Going to miss your music.
9 years now but not one of those years takes away from his crisp genius. Sadly missed. Pain in his voice 💔
Rest easy, brother. I hope you found your peace.
Rest easy Justin. These songs will live on with me and many. The answers may never come and that’s OK. I’ve never met him but I think we’ve known each other for some time 💛
This brought tears to my eyes.
indeed what a loss....peace
08:30 -- And now Justin and Billie Holiday are singing and trading stories. "White Dress, White Shoes, White Gardenia".
Yeah, that sounds plausible.
Yeah this song was just perfect
This man will be missed. We lost a true talent.
I chock this up to audiofile guys working at npr tiny desk and the relaxed environment that the musicians get to play it but these sessions always sound 100 times better than most versions
NPR has quality equipment, that much is clear. You get what you pay for in this world. I agree and play a lot of their stuff.
He was born with 200k on his odometer- RIP.
It's the Townes curse.
'White Gardenias' is such a beautiful, powerful song. One of my favourites.
RIP Justin...gone far too soon...I will cherish the times I saw you live in LA...so sad
Amazing musician. Unfortunately I was brought here because of the announcement of his death. I wish there was a national radio station where similar artists could play their music and we could actually hear the songs they create, not have to wait until we read their names in passing. Justin rest in peace and may God bless you wherever you are. Thank you for your music.
Get on Spotify boss, search for his artist page on there then it has a tab called "Fans Also Like" which will give you a bunch of similar artists. There's also a "Radio" feature that will play his songs mixed with other similar artists automatically. Loads of good music waiting to be found, you just gotta take the time to look.
I saw JTE a few years back in a relatively small venue. It was one of the best live performances I've ever seen, and that is saying a lot since I'm getting on up there. He had the audience spellbound. Pretty profound experience. This is just tragic.
We got to meet him and hear him in person at The Mucky Duck in Houston. RIP Sweet Soul Man.
He was captivating.
Same in 2014. We always wanted to see him again and regret never getting to.
We lost one of the most honest voices in music. What a tragedy.
i only discovered after his death today as soon as i heard he was steve earles son
i knew i had to listen to him .He didn't disappoint a bit . RIP
What I just heard him after his death ,but did not know that he was Steve earls son crazy
And his middle name is from the late great Townes van Zandt
On the anniversary of your passing, I thank you again for all you gave.
So great! His guitar playing is perfect
Am almost embarrassed I wasn't aware of Justin, big fan of his Dad's for years. So glad I just happened upon him last year 🙏
He looks like he is gonna say "fuck" at any moment
urrusmoso112 hahahah nailed it
Peace and Love to you sweet beautiful young man and to your family.
guitar and rhythm and lyrics and soul on white gardenias (the last one he performs here) is so beautiful
Justin is now singing with Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley and Guy Clark, while waiting patiently for Steve
They're all singing at John Prine's club, The Tree of Forgiveness. Well, he might even invite a few choice critics (those syphilitic parasitics), gonna buy em a pint of Smithwick's and smother em with his charm.
It’s unlikely he’s waiting patiently for anyone, from my impression of him over the years, least of all his father. RIP
Happy Birthday Justin, you helped me in some of my hardest times and you never knew it. Thank you for everything🖤
Thank you sir. You will surely be missed
Justin, may the Lord hold you close to his love. I know the struggle of living. May your soul rise to the place it belongs. Lord, keep his wife, daughter, mother, and father in your love.
And his Mother.
He's walking with the angels.
RIP Sweet Sweet Gentle Justin.... you will be forever missed.
Only discovered JTE and his music a few months prior to his sad death. Its terrific, but also sad, to see him so healthy and on such good form in this wonderful concert.
This gives me chills. There is something so deeply human about all of these songs, but also completely unreal...I can't imagine them being written by a person. It's like they just appeared out of a reservoir of everything beautiful and aching in the human experience. Amazing, JTE!
first time i've listened to him. liked it straight away.
As a father who gave his son several unwanted gifts, hard to watch. Beautiful song (White Gardenias).
oh, geez, my dear, I cannot imagine the depth of that hurt...
So much love in what he is bringing...this is really great.
Such a tragedy. Love the memories of seeing him live.
Rest in peace love you
Heaven is where Justin Townes Earle and The Tallest Man On Earth would do a show together.
Jesus fucking chirst, yes, another fellow human that knows about the tallest man on earth too! Awesome.
+Joelbitar Throw Shakey Graves in there, best show ever
I sense a runner in the garden... although my judgments known to fade
Joelbitar mix a little Sam Brue in there, too ;)
Wish I could heart this
Just heard the sad news, RIP Justin and much love to Steve and family.
What a loss... you were an amazing songwriter. All my love to your family, friends, and loved ones. ❤️
Insanely original guitar technique
cool rhythmic finger style guitar, fun sound
Miss ya forever.
So beautiful thank you.
Enjoyed every minute and the guitar sounds cool.
I loved the first two tracks and then you said Billie holiday and god lord you sir...are a gem, thank you
Rest in peace Justin. Thank you for your music.
RIP, your music hits the soul, and you will be missed.
I love myself some JTE. Such a talented young man! Saw him at Hardly Strictly a couple years ago and he was fab.
such good stuff. saw him live a couple years ago at Hardly Strictly - totally amazing set.
Un gran musico ! , lastima su perdida. Hasta estos rincones llegó su musica ! . Saludos desde Chile !
Saw him at SXSW he put me on Bill Hicks, Blaze Foley and Townes Van Zandt. What an amazing talent gone too soon. The man loved him some Texas folklore.
"Fame don't take away the pain, it just pays the bills" 😕
I will really miss him and his terrific music. RIP Justin 😢
RIP, did it so much better than most.
Better than his dad, not better than Townes.
So good. Will be missed and his music played for generations to come
Had no idea who this guy was but I'm so glad I checked it out. So good. Burning Pictures is such a good jam.
Beautiful, Justin.
Rest easy Justin.
Just learned of him today - phenomenal talent, shame I hadn’t heard of him while he was around. RIP JTE
Watched the stream of Steve's tribute concert that was up in Nashville on the 4th. I wish I'd been there, so many good people playing Justin's songs. So this afternoon has been a dive into his performances. Like Townes and John Hartford I don't think I appreciated the complex poetry of Justin's songs until he was gone.
I notice most of the comments here area a little older. Too bad. For me, RUclips is all about finding new music you're probably not familiar with. I only hope most listened long enough here to hear White Gardenias. So very cool.
my heart. blown to bits. nuf said.
I had tickets to see him for what would have been my first time seeing him live. This was right before the pandemic and his passing. My fav songwriter of all time, so so sad. May he rest in peace
He actually seems nervous here which I never noticed before, always admired his courageousness though, takes balls to play on your own
He's definitely flustered here..I guess like he said he was flying back out that night so it was probably an early flight there that morning, straight off the plane..guitar in hand..go play. And it's not like he did anything wrong here he started getting into it more as he went on but when he was fully on?, that man with his string-box was a force of nature often imitated, and imo never bettered. He made those six strings ring six ways from Sunday. Pure passion. R.I.P JTE.
Can’t believe it. Rest easy, JTE.
RIP to a beautiful songwriter
I wish he'd record an album like this-- man with a guitar.
+mason s. He did, it's an EP called Yuma. Check it out. Way better than his most recent stuff.
Kevin Hitchcock lyrically Yuma was god damn amazing
Yuma is one of my favorites but it was also at the very beginning. Following his namesake all his albums are over produced.
Kile M. Waldrup I recommend "Live at the Cactus Cafe - Austin TX"...Just him, Younts, and Josh Hedley. Great, well recorded show.
So sad to find out this young Man died, He is a good musician. And a nice Man.
When I got the vinyl copy of "Single Mothers" there was a little promo flyer inside that said to look for "Absent Fathers" to be released in January 2015. I was totally surprised by how quickly it'd be released, but that would be great!
lol great songs...but man i loved the part about him talking about googling his songs and listening to them to relearn them for the tour....great dude!!
Thanks for the music brother, your really everywhere now.
Why in the world did I find his music only after he’s gone :(
Love how he mimicks the stand up bass notes on acoustic gee-tar. Really cool just listenin' to JTE flying solo. 😎
I love his songs so much. Makes me sad though. What a horrible terrible loss.
