Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded as a somber tribute following the tragic passing of his son Justin Townes Earle, the album consists entirely of Justin's compositions. Steve Earle channels profound grief into a spirited celebration of his son's songwriting legacy, backed by the robust, road-tested Americana instrumentation of The Dukes. The record acts as a poignant, deeply personal farewell that highlights the enduring strength of the Earle musical dynasty.
