From a press release:
Justin Townes Earle plays The Grey Eagle, Nov. 22
Justin Townes Earle with Corey Brenan
At The Grey Eagle, Saturday, Nov. 22, 9 p.m.
$18 advance / $20 day of showWith a new album, a new label, new management, and a new outlook on life, Justin Townes Earle is completely and totally reinvigorated – you might even call this a rebirth. Following the success of his critically-acclaimed-fifth-studio-album, Single Mothers, Justin Townes Earle is pleased to announce the release of the companion album, Absent Fathers. Comprised of 10 tracks, Absent Fathers was recorded alongside Single Mothers as a double album, but as Justin began to sequence it, he felt each half needed to make its own statement and they took on their own identities. Absent Fathers will be released January 13, 2015. A complete track list can be found below.
Single Mothers was released on September 9, 2014 via Vagrant Records and, combined with Absent Fathers, the double album perfectly showcases exactly why Justin Townes Earle is considered a forefather of Contemporary Americana. Hailed as an album that’s “showing the world that alt-country can be pretty dope,” (Noisey/Vice), Single Mothers has had great radio success, peaking at #2 on Americana radio charts, #18 on Non-Comm.
