God Love Him. I still can't stop crying every time I listen to him in Spotify or on here. My family members have died from drug addiction, they used mostly alcohol to self medicate to help them through the day. My mam used to go into a pchyciatric ward to treat depression , only for them to replace the alcohol with what we called in the 80s Duck Eggs, high dose tablets that turned her into a zombie, then they gave her facking EST got her to sign the consent form. It made her worse after, they told her it would get rid of her bad memories , but it didn't , it made her lose a lot of her memory, it never repaired properly. I did the best I could to help her, even when her personality changed after a certain time. I knew why she drank, I knew why she self meditated with alcohol, I knew why she hurt, I knew the reasons why my other family members drink and it's always is because of someone fucking with their head through many forms of abuse when they where children or even older, as abuse has no age limit for the victim, it's a very vicious cycle, I which the UK had the same laws as the USA. The youngest age of one of my family members to pass away due to alcoholism was only 23, she signed herself out of hospital, died 3 days later, she hurt cos her mam died when a few yrs before, her mam died because of alcohol because the man she loved died from alcohol. As for me ... I have done my best to break the vicious cycle by me choosing not to go down that road. Two of my children don't drink, they are aged 28 & 29 and I hope that they never ever follow in those same footsteps. One never knows, all we can do is pray for them x

Oh man I’ve heard him before and liked him but this was on another level. Wish I could’ve had the chance to see him. I used to love his dads character as bubbles’ sponsor on the wire. Was such a good accurate description of addiction and the strife it brings. Rest In Peace buddy.

Talent for days and his own genuine style with no coattails ridden from his fathers legacy, together made this man an endangered species long before he ever became extinct. When Justin passed , we lost a lot more than just an amazing artist, we lost our only chance for our generation to redeem itself after all of the garbage sound that has diluted and distorted what it means to make " good music " ! I hope that you found peace brother You deserve it.

I highly recommend you check out Mississippi John Hurt if you like his style, he takes a lot of inspiration from his work no doubt. Google for 'Spike Driver Blues,' 'Make Me A Pallet on Your Floor,' 'Hop Joint,' and 'Lonesome Valley.' Amazing music, thanks for sharing.
