Steve Earle to remember Justin Townes Earle with an album of his son’s songs

Backed by his longtime band the Dukes, Steve is expected to begin recording the album in October with a target release date of January 2021 — Justin Townes Earle would have turned 39 on January 4th. Earle will donate 100 percent of advances and royalties from the project to a trust for Justin’s daughter, Etta St. James Earle.

The younger Earle spent some time as a touring member of the Dukes on keyboards but staked out his own territory as a gifted singer-songwriter and performer beginning with 2007’s, earning nominations and awards from the Americana Music Association. His most recent album,, was released in May 2019 via New West Records, which is also Steve’s label home of the last few years.

Justin and his father sometimes shared the stage, but kept their recording careers separate. Still, Steve expressed pride and appreciation for his son’s work, even when some of the songs — like “Mama’s Eyes” — were partially about him. “The first time he heard ‘Mama’s Eyes,’ he was standing like the proud father on the edge of the Ryman Auditorium stage years ago, and I played it solo,” Justin toldOver the last decade, Steve has also paid tribute to some of his songwriting mentors with full albums of covers, including 2009’s. But this upcoming album — of a father singing his son’s songs in the wake of a tragedy — feels like something else entirely.
