Justin Townes Earle "Champagne Corolla" // SiriusXM // Outlaw Country

[@k.g.alatore355]

Steve must've been sitting there in complete awe of the way his little boy commanded his craft. Talk about the proudest father. It's heartbreaking to think about the pain he must feel now. No parent should ever have to bury their child.

[@sinsinnomore5555]

No folk artist should rip off his own son and friend. ...SE could have write an album/song about it if he wasn't a rip off hack.

[@k.g.alatore355]

@@sinsinnomore5555 are you referring to the time he made John Henry Was A Steel Drivin' Man inspired by Justin's They Killed John Henry? which Steve never hid was the case, and which Justin liked and approved of? or the time he made a tribute album to him to honor his son's memory? because all i see in either of those instances is a father who was proud of his son

[@k.g.alatore355]

@@sinsinnomore5555 and even Steve will tell you that in a technical sense, Justin was a better singer and guitar player than him there's no need to rip on him here, the man just experienced the worst trauma any parent ever could imagine

[@sinsinnomore5555]

SE's best selling album was covers of TVZ...then 8weeks after his eldest, most talented son had his "dad" do the worse covers of his work rather than being an actual talented folk artist and wrote about his sons death...or his sons namesake friends death. Besides, wtf do you think you can tell me to not comment? Stfu

[@k.g.alatore355]

@@sinsinnomore5555 who cares what his best selling album is? and he did write about his son's death, in the song Last Words, which...i mean, given the circumstances, what else was there to say other than "i wish i could have been with you during your last moments, and i'm grateful i got to tell you that i love you one last time and hear it from you" Steve makes his records for him and him alone, and if any of us like em, then great.

Justin Townes Earle was a man of truly IMMENSE talent. It’s so sad that now he’s gone...

[@orionhumberger8648]

Unfortunately it never would have worked if he didn't burn it that way. It's been the same from Robert Johnson, Elvis, Cobain, etc. I wish he made it longer and am thankful we got to experience his art, heart, and soul. Thanks Justin! RIP.

[@YouTubeneedstostopcensoring]

I remember every show I was lucky enough to see of his. Sat up front for every one of them. If he was playing within an hour of me I was there. He was even better live. No studio trickery to his sound. Just pure raw talent. What you heard on the album you heard live. And his personality came out between songs. Talking with the crowd and heckling the hecklers. He always seemed so genuine. That is until that last show I seen. It was in Asheville nc shortly before he passed. He seemed different. Angry. Wasn’t the same person from the other shows. He made comments about how expensive his clothes were and talked with venom about the mainstream country audience. I remember leaving that show saddened thinking he’s back on the shit and hoping he had some family or someone close that would be there for him. A year before that in the same town I got a picture with him. He was hanging out front of the venue spending time with the fans before the show. He seemed genuinely happy to stand for a picture and I’m gutted every time I see that come up in my memories. He was one of the greats and it’s a shame more people don’t know what was lost the day he passed.

[@Goodmh1]

me, too.

[@billybobb7252]

Unfortunately for all he was another victim of addictive substances. But man what a performer. Saw him at Blues Fest Byron Bay . Shit Hot.

[@FasterBastard1]

Thanks for sharing, brother.

[@leelane9929]

I met JT when i first met Steve in my record shop in the 80s. Later Justin use to come in after he grew up and always greeted me with a big gangely hug with those long arms and unforgettable smile. I loved that young man and what talent he had.

[@chrispaulick]

One could argue that this might be the best rock and roll song of this century by a single artist.

[@judywisma916]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ I think of Justin everytime I get in my Corolla!!! 😊

[@robertparsons5295]

Mother of God, he was great.

[@raywalsh9152]

A true talent. Born to it. Damn shame we lost him so soon. You could see in this video he was unhappy. Makes me sad to hear his songs knowing he was almost always struggling with his demons. I have three sons. One did 5 years in the US Army as an MP. Came out and got his degree using the GI Bill. Working for the city in IT now. One got an Engineering Degree from Purdue University. Making more than me or his mother ever did, or ever will. And the middle one can't stay off the streets, unless he's in jail, and can't kick the needle. Breaks my fucking heart.

[@jmk2611]

he was so proud of his kid.

[@kylaauger2692]

damn he really slaps the shit out of that guitar

[@ceceliarussell-jayne2447]

Thinking of Justin on his 40th birthday. Wish there had been 40 more. Love this gem of a song. My only critique of it is that he fails to mention that a champagne corolla won’t show dirt. ❤️

[@jackjackeroo6221]

a champagne corolla IS dirt... (I have a champagne canyon... also dirt)

What a great video for us guitarists who like playing his stuff. I was always a big fan of his father and only discovered him a couple of years ago, just after he died. What a waste man.

[@j.c.lipseymusic884]

That's an awesome little Dirty Thirty there that he is playing! Just goes to show, you don't have to spent thousands of dollars on a "blues box" axe, when a Recording King and a good soundhole pickup does the job !

[@monkfry]

I had a beater acoustic once that drove me up the wall and I just couldn’t get it to sound anywhere near decent. I met a guy once at a party we had and he said “Hey, mind if I pick that”? I said “yea go ahead and good luck”. He flipped it left hand so it was strung upside down to him and played the living shit out of it. People immediately started dancing and cheering him on for another one, he was a natural. Songs flowed out like river water and he had a great voice. I asked what he was playing and he said “I don’t know, just some trash talkin’ surfabilly crap I make up. They aren’t really songs. Might be a little Dick Dale or Davey Allen in there I borrowed too.” You’re 100% correct. If you got it, you got it.

[@lordbertramwooster5339]

Thevk1nf well said!

[@Diggzist]

I'm a little late to the party but it looks like all he's doing is strumming the bottom two (sometimes three when he goes up a string) with his thumb and index finger and then muting the rest with his left hand. The basic outline seems to be: down with thumb up with index down with all fingers (upper strings muted) up with all fingers (upper strings muted)

[@johnwhiteleather3565]

I bought a recording king just because.

[@randalclarke5487]

@@Diggzist its called "drumming" on guitar. Rockabilly bassists do a similar thing. Yoyre emphasizing the up and downbeat. It's an old Welsh guitar style
