Justin Townes Earle - Look the Other Way (Letterman - 28 February 2012)

[@NevadaBoss]

what an enormously gifted young man...beyond tragic that we--and his family--lost him so soon..

[@sergi23]

He is fire, he is gold, he is dynamite. RIP Townes, you'll never be forgotten

[@yourblogondrugs]

This has been off YT for YEARS. So glad it's back up, but so sorry as to why.... what a loss.

[@clips-x7v5]

He was so awesome 👏 I love him most , for his uniqueness, and so much talent and soul in his music ; always in my heart JT and I’ll never forget all the times I was lucky enough to see you perform! Thank you and RIP

[@johnjones-uc3ni]

I really loved this live version. He was really into the song emotionally. Very talented songwriter and singer. I can hear his dad's voice in some of his songs. And a prolific songwriter like Todd Snider and Elvis Costello. Unfortunately many of these talents experience so many trials, heartbreak and challenges in life.

[@andregobi9285]

Hard to believe this genious has gone. His music changed so many things in my life. RIP, JTE.

[@rooly0811]

Certifiable genius

[@nicholasspore691]

It's always fun to see Dave get excited about a musical guest and every time JTE came on the show you could tell Dave was a fan.

[@adamforest1986]

Reminds me of Warren zevon What a man!! God bless

[@dantilley7361]

I can't agree more. Dave lit up like a Christmas Tree when JTE did Harlem River Blues

[@bryanlee7657]

My posthumous introduction. Listened to his dad for years. This is life changing

[@jcw999]

So talented. So sad the ending.

[@shawncooper9082]

Rest easy Justin your music inspired me in ways that no one can understand

[@melvinbrains]

Was very fortunate to see him a few years ago. Just him and a guitar, but he commanded the room. One of the best shows I've ever seen. RIP, Justin.

[@earloutdoors3286]

Love his dad's stuff, but JTE really took it to a new place

[@CharlieBrownies77]

As much as I enjoy Steve’s music, Justin was better. Singing, writing, and guitar playing. There’s still a few JTE albums I have explored thoroughly. I’m going extra slow so it feels like hes still here.

[@pamelabrown8625]

💕RIP JTE you played a huge part in my life musically. Love you!

[@joannehack7588]

Like father like son. Perfection. Justin needed to make the progression happen quicker-- cause I do believe Justin knew he just might be runnin’ outta time

[@mrtv777]

Man. What a style of music. So different in his own original way. Man, no one can compare to the song writing nor singing. God just so dam good.

[@travisdorman1075]

RIP one of the best

[@matthewprice9976]

My wife and I were at this taping. It was the first time we had ever heard JTE and definitely the best way to be introduced to a new artist. Thanks for posting !

[@noahmcdaniel4920]

His talent was boundless... He was just getting into his best years.

[@elliottbaruth332]

I love his style! What a great songwriter. The band he's with is really nice, got to love the horns!

[@shawnclare-nb1up]

Where there's good music there's hope...thanks JTE!

[@stevefaure415]

Wow, awesome performance. sad he's gone. David is genuinely delighted.

[@robbysoaks]

A long time fan, I just found out about his death. I'm still in disbelief. I thought he was doing better since he got married and had a kid. This sucks so bad. I live in Canada and I always thoght I might make a road trip across the border to see him live one day. He was an original.

[@ronvideo]

Been looking for this for years. Justin and Dave--it just doesn't get any better than this

[@DMCxx]

A lovely version. Dave loved great live music

[@tenorio.barcelona]

PERFECT !!!!!!😍

[@kb-eu8pz]

JTE lives forever!!!

[@raywalsh9152]

My god, what an amazing talent. And singing about his own demise. Not only in this song but in Harlem River Blues. Can't hear either of them without thinking about what a talented beautiful young man this world lost.

[@5150show]

Incredible

[@robertlaverdure60]

he had the feel of a gifted tortured soul in the same realm of Hank Williams SR in my humble opinion

[@bw7394]

Love the horns killer WORDS

[@CRGtx325]

🙏🏼 RIP

[@1coopjsn]

Rest easy my friend.

[@timpodporin185]

So much talent, a master of his trade. so young and gone. We love you down under, Aussie Tim (RIP) I suffer your disease and hate it.

[@lastnamefirst4035]

AA and NA in every country. Has saved many an addict

[@christian_cantarutti]

Mama Im hurtin' in the worst way

[@walterfisher5749]

Kid was really talented. Part his father, part Elvin Bishop, part Radney Foster. All in a good way. Wish it could have lasted. It was good while it did.

[@warrenhoward913]

What talent!

[@dxzxax8772]

miss him

[@j99tinks]

What a talented artist..Miss him..

[@Johnfarleymusic]

Impeccable style. Miss him so much!

[@smwrbd]

Always real.

[@joannehack7588]

What a loss.

[@MarkNotWithAC]

JTE in the zone 100%. Pure stuff.

[@ConnieLynchitzWhoElse]

Incredible.

[@mandymine4963]

Glad this is back-Dave seemed to loved him.

[@writeitdown2013]

So glad this video is back, I used to be obsessed with it way back in 2012. Great song. RIP

[@fuadsflkas]

Such a great talent... I'm glad to have see him live in San Francisco a couple of times...

[@nickpalma2782]

It was a very nice boost of spirit.

[@SoFLDawg]

So talented

[@TheGruntski]

Damn this guy is talented. Too bad he passed away.

[@1whimsicallie]

very cool song ~ we love you Justin

[@erindavis6488]

[@markalvord7834]

Rest In Peace young blood

[@noahmcdaniel4920]

Rest his soul

[@aquaboneus]

RIP JTE

[@kristiansigurdson7402]

I love 💕 u

[@glendawilson1480]

another we lost too soon

[@margaretgraves5109]

Love the way Justin pulled the guitar string up , but he had stopped doing it as he was snapping too many stings 😯 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@margaretgraves5109]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@ronnier5349]

Have not listened to Justin Townes Earle for a long time. I almost forgot how freakin' awesome his music is. "A nice boost of spirit."

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

How have I been a diehard Steve Earle fan for 25 years and never knew he had a son ? And then to learn he passed away . I’ve got some catching up to do

[@larrywhite4812]

David really showed how impressed he was with Justin after the song. I think David would have liked more time to talk with him

[@katherineloveclay]

💗

[@paulacothren3591]

Although he doesn't look like Steve, boy does he have his dad's talent. Rest in peace.

[@joannehack7588]

[@adamtorres109]

I remember seeing this before and kind of wondered if Dave held the album upside down at the end because JTE sarcastically thanks the state of Indiana on the back cover. Probably not, though.

[@willliamwalsh8693]

Smokin performer

[@johnbertsche465]

Dave holds the album upside down at the end..

[@imnotfishing]

Justin’s guitar is horribly out of tune. Maybe why this was buried. Still a great performance and still one of my all time favorites. I’d put him up there with his namesake and father. RIP JTE.

[@margaretgraves5109]

♥️♥️♥️😝 i

[@wilcoone]

God dammit.

[@arghapirate2427]

Drugs are bad.

RIP Justin.
