Single Mothers comprises of ten new tracks, and the Australian editions – CD, download and LP – will all feature a bonus live acoustic version of the track “White Gardenias”. The new album showcases exactly why Justin Townes Earle is considered a forefather of Contemporary Americana and why, after half-dozen Australian tours in the last half-dozen years, he is a hugely popular act here in Australia. As a recently married, sober man JTE writes from a point of maturity and content we’ve not seen before on past records. “One day I just realized it’s not cool to die young, and it’s even less cool to die after 30,”Justin laughs as he reflects on a life past and his new found clarity. What he’s created is an album that’s raw, honest and personal in a way he hasn’t touched upon since his debut EP, Yuma. Once compared to a man who wears many suits JTE has experienced more than most, both personally and professionally, in thirty-two short years. Between releasing four full- length critically-acclaimed albums, constant touring, multiple stints in rehab, being born Steve Earle’s son, amicable and not-so-amicable break-ups with record labels, and facing the trials and tribulations of everyday life, it’s safe to say JTE has quite the story to tell.
