Single mothers

"He writes what he knows, what he see, which usually result in seedy stories of the American underbelly, but on this album, there's some optimism, some humor, showing that his music is growing alongside his personal life ... What we're seeing here with Justin Townes Earle is an artist finding his sound, not an artist who's simply trying to find a way to stay relevant".

"2014's Single Mothers eases back into a spectral, middle-of-the-night sound, with Earle backed by a low-key three-piece band and the pedal steel guitar adding a mournful tone to most of these songs of lonely lives and broken hearts ... There are moments where Single Mothers feels like art therapy as much as music, but this album communicates its pain with intelligence and a gentle touch, and as a singer and lyricist Earle grows with each album; there are more than a few moments of brilliance on this set if you don't mind sharing a rough and lonesome road with Earle for a while".
