"Midnight at the Movies" by Justin Townes Earle

Biography

Justin Townes Earle is an anomaly. He’s tall as the day is long, all angles and elbows and a hard stare, both welcoming and deadly serious. He’s Nashville North, all set up in lower Manhattan now, just like his hero Woody Guthrie, with twang and charm intact.

The aforementioned Woody Guthrie once said, “Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make ... Read more in Amazon's Justin Townes Earle Store

Editorial Reviews

Review

4 stars. --Rolling Stones

Throughout, Earle once again reveals his knack for telling details and vibrant wordplay, and he continues to show that acoustic music can be spirited and celebratory as well as introspective and blue [and he] works like a good movie director. No matter the story he's telling, or the musical dialogue he adopts, it's the authority of his distinctive voice as a songwriter and a singer that makes the tale resonate. --Nashville Sound

An utterly distinctive voice that takes what's come before and artfully moves it forward. --L.A. Times

Product Description

2009 sophomore album from Justin Townes Earle, son of Americana favorite Steve Earle. Within the first song on Midnight At the Movies, you just know you're hearing something special, that you are party to the unknown and exhilarating paths being explored by an artist on the creative ascendancy. Midnight At The Movies displays an adeptness and musical sophistication of remarkable, organic breadth and is as lyrically sharp as a lover's tongue as she is walking out the door. Midnight at the Movies is held firm by Justin's astonishing vision and conviction, yet roams o'er the vast landscape of American music without so much as a stumble.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal March 7, 2009
Format:Audio CD
This is a great follow up to The Good Life. I saw JTE at the Birchmere in VA a couple days after this album came out and was able to get it on vinyl. He put on a great show. There were very few people at the show, but then not many people know about him yet. I had a chance to talk to him after the show and he's a very down to earth guy that seems to really enjoy what he's doing. He does sound a lot like his dad and writes a lot like his name sake Townes Van Zant, but he can certainly stand on his own. Even without his famous connections, I'd still be a big fan. To me this is just good music, nothing pretentious at all. In fact JTE reminds me of a modern Hank Williams. I can't wait for the next album and the next live performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Three times ain't luck March 4, 2009
Format:MP3 Music
Justin Townes Earle has, once again, proven he's one of the few with substance. I've only listened to the album a couple of times, but I just saw him last night at The Mercury Lounge (the day the CD came out!), and it's clear that it's going to be hard to pick a favorite off of this album.

I can't recommend this enough if you like traditional country or folk music. Just fantastic.

UPDATE: I've been listening to this album since it came out -- every day, almost all day long. So, I'm giving this 5 out of 5 stars. I love this album. This album has no song you skip over to get to the better one(s). Every track is just great. Hot damn, I can't wait for more from this artist. Jaysus I'm excited about music again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Solid Album March 17, 2009
By Satchmo
Format:Audio CD
Having loved JTE's first album, "The Good Life," I got this one right away. This is another great album from this up and coming artist. He has a unique voice which walks the tight-rope between country and singer-songwriter. This album probably leans a little more towards the latter, but there are still several tracks that are flat out old-time country honk. The music has a very organic feel to it, which is refreshing. The instrumentation and production is very simplistic and gives the album a timeless quality that makes it sound equally as likely to be from 2009 or 1969. I agree with the previous reviewer - definitely see JTE in concert, he is amazing!
