Once compared to a man who wears many suits, in thirty-two short years Justin Townes Earle has experienced more than most, both personally and professionally. Between releasing four full-length-critically-acclaimed albums, constant touring, multiple stints in rehab, a new found sobriety, being born Steve Earle's son, amicable and not-so-amicable break-ups with record labels, and facing the trials and tribulations of everyday life, it's safe to say JTE has quite the story to tell. His fifth album (and first ever on Vagrant Records) serves as the perfect platform for such narrations.


As a recently married, sober man JTE writes from a point of maturity and content we've not seen before on past records. "One day I just realized it's not cool to die young, and it's even less cool to die after 30," Justin states as he reflects on a life past and his newly found clarity. What he's created is material that's raw, honest and personal in a way he hasn't touched upon since his debut EP, Yuma.


Co-produced along side longtime engineer Adam Bednarik, Single Mothers and Absent Fathers shine in a world of pop-culture driven Americana records. "I don't really know what Americana means anymore," Justin laughs. "That's not a slant on Americana, it's just become a very unclassifiable genre. It's gone seemingly pop. There are good parts to that, but it's getting to a point where it won't be able to redeem itself if it doesn't slow down. Just like everything that gets popular." With his heart and soul still rooted in Nashville, Single Mothers and Absent Fathers show Justin's continued combination of catchy songs and authenticity.


The albums were recorded live with his four-piece touring band with only days of rehearsal leading up to recording to keep the ideas fresh. No overdubs, no other singers, no additional players – just a real, heartfelt performance capturing the moment. In fact, his songs "Picture in a Drawer" and "It's Cold in This House" are only Justin, his guitar and his pedal steel player Paul Niehaus.


"As I've gotten older my anger comes from a very different place. It's more rational and mature. I guess that comes along with clarity," JTE reflects. Single Mothers and Absent Fathers find Justin dealing with past struggles and anger with more ease than ever before. Creating a nostalgic feeling with the return to his signature sound, JTE takes listeners on a journey through some of his most personal stories yet on what can only be described as an authentic country records.

    I am Diania Turner and was born and raised in El Paso, Texas.  Though I will always love Texas, my heart is in Utah where I have lived for over almost 50 years.  In all of Utah, I love Park City the most because of its rich pioneer history, amazing locals and their wonderful live and let live attitude.  Acceptance and a friendly attitude  is what Park City offers and what I love.
