For Immediate Release December 19, 2011
“…music that defies geography and genre.”— NPR “All Things Considered”
“There are echoes of Guthrie and Springsteen, but at 28, Earle’s clear, considered voice is clearly his own.”— The Guardian UK
Nothing’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now , the new album from celebrated singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle , will be released March 27 on Bloodshot Records . This is Earle’s fourth release and follows his critically acclaimed 2010 album, Harlem River Blues , which debuted #47 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and led to a “Song of the Year” award at the
2011 Americana Music Awards. In celebration of the release, Earle will perform a series of special shows this winter followed by a full U.S. headlining tour this spring including an appearance at SXSW. See reverse for full tour details and track listing.
Produced by Earle alongside longtime collaborator Skylar Wilson, the 10-track album was recorded completely live with no overdubs over a 4-day period at an old converted church recording studio in Asheville, NC. Of the new record, Earle comments, “I think that it’s the job of the artist to be in transition and constantly learn more. The new record is completely different than my last one, Harlem River Blues . This time I’ve gone in a Memphis-soul direction.”
Since his debut in 2008, Earle has toured consistently including performances at the Hardly
Strictly Bluegrass Fest, the Grand Ole Opry, Carnegie Hall, the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival and the Newport Folk Festival as well as recent appearances on “ The Late Show with David
Letterman ” and “ A Prairie Home Companion .” Additionally, Earle won “Best New and
Emerging Artist” at the 2009 Americana Music Awards and was named by GQ magazine as one of “The 25 Most Stylish Men in the World” in 2010. He also appeared on HBO’s Treme with his dad, troubadour Steve Earle, on whose Grammy Award-winning record Townes , Earle also guests.
