Born Nashville, and more recently living in New York, Justin is no stranger to the road and it seems as though that road, in terms of inspiration, has led him to Memphis, for this latest album. You can draw the connection directly on a song like “Memphis in the Rain,” which he performs live for us, and more in stylistically on horn-laden, southern soul moments like “Baby’s Got A Bad Idea” and “Maria.” And that Memphis sound is a fine backdrop to these songs, which act as an open book into Earle's emotions and his past. In the unfortunate culture of the entertainment community, Earle has earned headlines more for his personal troubles than for his musical achievements. "Nothing’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now" has the ability to change that, most notably because Earle doesn’t shy away from his mistakes and his demons. “Won’t Be the Last Time” is a musical confession and account for his troubles. “Movin’ On” feels like a day on the road with Earle as he battles temptations and deals with his past. The honesty is so refreshing and the storytelling so real that it’s hard not be engulfed by the album.
