Justin Townes Earle - "Ain't Waitin'" (Live) | Grooveshark Presents: Nashville Sessions

[@xDPx-zh7vr]

He lived his life with no apologies for his addictions and in a sense that's as honest as you can be. It's just a shame the world will never get to enjoy new music from him ever again because he was a true roots musician in every sense of the word. He loved and respected the music that defined this country and every song is a story or a journey he takes you on. I only saw him live once but his presence was something to behold. Tall, gangly, and cocky as all get out but it was mesmerizing to see him hold the attention of the room. My heart and soul is filled with sadness for his widow Jenn and his little girl Etta James Earle. It seems sobriety was always something that would elude him and drugs although they brought us some of his best recordings and live performances also were his undoing. RIP JTE.

[@ericbombardiermusic8888]

What created his art, destroyed him as a person. Absent father.

[@JoeSmith-dl9ok]

Eric-he said many times he stopped believing you had to be a drunk or junky to make good music. Unfortunately he knew what a lot of us do-drugs are fucking awesome, until they’re not. Damn near killed me, and destroyed my life.

[@xDPx-zh7vr]

@@JoeSmith-dl9ok hopefully JTE's story can be an example in your life to not even think about slipping cuz all it takes is once and it's all gone. When you do take that step back and see things through sober eyes you realize how lucky you are to have family and friends that care about you enough to not let you go. They're the enemy when you're spun out but they were angels all along. Glad to hear you found your way again. Stay gold.

[@JoeSmith-dl9ok]

Thanks man. 6 years no booze, 4 no pills. Except for legit medical reasons, which has been 3-4 times in 4 years

[@janetlopez6813]

Wow he was one of a kind ..loved his songs and his voice... But the way he played the guitar ...wow ..Justin T. Earle gone too soon 💞🎉

Rest in peace brother. Hope I see you in the kingdom.

[@light_and_sound]

Amen

[@srrlIdl]

He lives on in memory.

[@light_and_sound]

@@srrlIdl I've deleted my comments. I'm not here to debate anything. I find that disrespectful to Justin's memory. I was here to listen to music and mourn with fans. Peace be with you, man.

[@srrlIdl]

@@light_and_sound True. Done the same

[@lurk7967]

@@srrlIdl what did you say, even if it was something negative you should not feel like you should not share it. Everyone posts the same shit but I notice the people that actually knew Justin have a differnet point of view on their comments they miss the hell out of the guy but he was human like everyone else I don't think it's wrong to share potentially bad stories or shortcomings about the man at the end of the days it just makes him more human, we all make mistakes

[@kst82792]

You will be dearly missed, Justin. Thank you for your music that helped people through the darkest days.

[@light_and_sound]

It sure did.

[@danedonovan5787]

RIP JTE. This guy Brett McDaniel played with him before. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIjTqKGBmK-tqLs I am a sucker for sad songs

[@brewtality213]

This is probably one of my favorite videos ever. RIP JTE, you’ll forever be one of the greats.

[@absolutelynonameslef]

I would trade the last 20yrs worth of Top 40 artists to get JTE back.

[@neilbrennan8883]

I just love his unique strumming style

[@waydehollis9562]

Hammer Thumb. Bruce Cockburn is also amazing with that style.

[@bgbreslin4596]

You see it in old bluegrass, Carter Family, etc. Shows he knew his stuff!!

[@ryleyhenry6052]

His studio albums actually sell well on the country music market, however he prefers playing solo. Listen to his first album, Yuma. It's pretty much just him and his guitar and it's absolutely brilliant.

[@Jose-ce1yg]

I found him by accident but boy I'm so effin glad I did. He's a genius, every single song a masterpiece in it's own way!!

[@douglove2412]

I knew the guy was good, but now that I hear he’s gone I’m finally putting some quality time into listening to his songs and albums. He’s absolutely brilliant. GREAT songs. Wish I had known him better, now missing him all the more. I’ve listened to his dad, Steve Earl, for years, have his albums, and like his show on satellite radio. Of Justin I’ve liked Harlem River Blues, saved it on my song list, but never dug much deeper. Today, I did, and I’m enriched by the music, torn up by the loss. Here’s to Justin Townes Earl! Rest In Peace, dear friend. So sorry you’re gone.

[@jayyargeau7652]

his live solo set in the NJ library is some of the best you will ever watch

[@douglove2412]

Jay Yargeau thanks. Gotta check that out! Can’t get enough of JTE.

[@light_and_sound]

@@jayyargeau7652 That's one of my favorites too. The Codfish Hollow show is a fun one to watch. There used to be a complete video of it up, but I couldn't find it now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5_FmKVtbNBriMU There's several songs (if not all) from it still up.

[@Ilovejvkealittletomuch]

i'm the same. big fan of his dad - had heard Justin was great but had never checked him out. absolutely brilliant. can't stop watching him now that I've started.

[@douglove2412]

light & sound, thanks. More great stuff to check out! Yesterday I heard on satellite radio, on the Steve Earle show, and interview by him with his son Justin Townes Earle from three years ago, right before Justin’s daughter was born. It was a great, lively conversation between father and son with tracks played from Justin’s new album at the time. So much fun, but it tears your heart out knowing JTE is gone now. Dammit!

[@Name-qh6hh]

This is as cool as it’s possible to be. Nobody has ever been cooler than JTE

[@1.0.10.9]

R.I.P Justin Townes Earle,just like his dad,he was a great songwriter and performer,so much energy in those performances

[@drsimmons74]

I can't stop watching this. It's just so damn good. Truly one of the best there is at that busking style of performance. Just a man and guitar... Oh, and enormous amounts of talent.

[@romuluscreative]

im waiting on the world to realize what we lost here... Justin was so pure and raw .. fearless and damn his guitar playing.. PAINFUL if you know you know he isnt hiding behind chords here. every note is clear and perfect.. doc watson had it. James taylor in a sense.. such a loss.. a real loss.

[@tadlee4928]

I started using grooveshark because of this video. RIP

[@andrewharris1369]

Happy Birthday Justin. Would be 40 years today. You are always missed. Rest in peace, you will not be forgotten

[@lindagreen1060]

In a lot of ways, he was better than Steve. Don't get me wrong, I love, love Steve Earle. But Justin seemed like he was better at a few things than his dad. I don't know how to pinpoint it, but there was something that drew me in, right from the get go. Where with Steve I had to listen to his song a couple of times.

[@lakesidetradingpostplunder8746]

No more waiting son...go rest high on that mountain.

[@or9481]

He really studied regional styles and you can hear it in his playing. What a remarkable talent. RIP.

He was way too talented to have to wait til it was too late to see all the love and appreciation. A true tragedy.

[@GoodVibesWilderness]

was so painfull to hear that he passed this morning. he was one of a kind and will be missed!

[@c05eden273]

Its because a grooveshark ad brought them here.. Justin brought me here all by himself.

[@pennysimmons841]

I am heartbroken for a loss of a person I never knew but knew so well.... I hope you are at peace and hanging with the other greats who went befor you🙏

[@directoroperations5990]

This was the song that brought me to JTE i guess 10 yrs ago or so. I got to see him 6 months later with a full band in the fall outside and was truly a top 10 music experience was blown away. I followed him and saw him several times since including last summer with a band again and did Cant hardly wait as an encore. I was able to say hey after the show and let him know I really dug his music. I am just gut punched today. It sucks for anybody who is just 38 to pass on. He is in a better place and have to be thankful for the music he has left us with

[@johnstoddard4692]

He was so fucking good at his craft! When I listen or watch a musician I take in so many things but to me the most valuable of the different traits that make a exceptional musician are their technical ability , their genuine presence , and their talent to bring me out of my mind to a different place with just a few bars of their music. Justin had all of these in spades ! You will be missed every time I hear a new song.

[@mr10am]

one of my favourite song of his. he sounds amazing live too.

[@acequeen1259]

What a talent. What a great loss. Rest in peace young man 🙏😢

[@tayecannon]

I saw him perform at Celebrate Brooklyn in Prospect Park, maybe around 2010? I spent about a month trying to figure out his fingerpicking and strumming technique (couldnt really figure it out). He was great.

I could give every compliment and heartfelt notion, but the fucken sad fact is drug addiction affects everyone, Justin is (was) a very talented artist ... i hesitate to use past-tense because he seems so alive and young and talented in the video, but he's gone, and my personal hero/favourite song writer is his dad... Take care Steve.
