Steve Earle & The Dukes: J.T. (LP)

(New West Records) 11 tracks, gatefold


On the upcoming album J.T., Steve Earle & The Dukes honour Steve's late son Justin Townes Earle (J.T.), who passed away in Nashville on 20 August 2020.

The album is called J.T. because Justin never had another name until he was almost an adult. Well, when he was little, I called him Cowboy, Steve Earle explains. For better or worse, right or wrong, I loved Justin Townes Earle more than anything in this world. That being said, like every other record I've ever made, I made this record for me. It was the only way I knew to say goodbye.

The poignant Harlem River Blues is one of Justin's best-known compositions and was honoured with Song of the Year at the 2011 Americana Music Awards, following Justin's win in the Emerging Artist of the Year category in 2009. Watch Justin's original recording of Harlem River Blues, which was the title track of his 2010 album, here.

On J.T.. Steve Earle & The Dukes cover ten of Justin's songs - I Don't Care, which appeared on his 2007 debut EP Yuma, three songs from longplay debut The Good Life (Ain't Glad I'm Leaving, Far Away In Another Town and Lone Pine Hill) through to later compositions such as Champagne Corolla (2017) and The Saint Of Lost Causes (2019), the title track from Justin's eighth and final studio album. J.T. closes with Last Words, a song Steve wrote for Justin.

100% of J.T.'s artist earnings and royalties will be donated to a trust for Etta St. James Earle, the three-year-old daughter of Justin and Jenn Earle. Although the album is sombre in parts, it is ultimately a stirring celebration of a life lived with passion and purpose. The recording features the latest incarnation of Steve's backing band, The Dukes - Chris Masterson on guitar, Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle & vocals, Ricky Ray Jackson on pedal steel, guitar & dobro, Brad Pemberton on drums & percussion and Jeff Hill on acoustic & electric bass.

"Steve Earle & The Dukes"

Steve Earle

Der Gitarrist mußte zunächst sieben Jahre lang sein Geld als Country-Komponist in Nashville verdienen, wo der am 17. 1. 1955 im texanischen Fort Monroe, Virginia, geborene Steve Earle seit 1975 lebte. Er spielte zunächst Trompete, und als Elfjähriger griff er zur Gitarre. Seit 1969 trat er in Clubs auf und schrieb gemeinsam mit Townes  Van Zandt Songs, bevor er bei dem Nashville-Label LS 1 Records die EP 'Pink And Black' veröffentlichte.  

Debütalbum Cadillac

1982 produzierte Earle mit einer Country / Rockabilly-Mixtur sein Debütalbum CADILLAC, in das seine Plattenfirma Epic Records nur wenig Vertrauen setzte und den Vertrag 1984 löste. Der Wechsel zu MCA Records bekam dem -atmosphärischen Rock'n'Roll auf der halbakustischen Klampfe- (Musik Express) gut.

Im Stil der Country-Outlaws von Waylon Jennings oder Willie Nelson produzierte Steve Earle seine 86er-LP GUITAR TOWN (US #89). Die im Herbst des Jahres die Countrycharts anführte. Der Rolling Stone erkannte in Earle neben Dwight Yoakam und Ran-dy Travis einen -Pionier des New Country.

1987 trat Steve Earle im Februar bei der Grammy-Verleihung in Los Angeles auf und stellte anschließend mit Zip Gibson (g), Kelly Looney (b), Craig Wright (dr), Ken Moore (key) und Bucky Baxter (steelg) seine Begleitband Dukes zusammen. Er präsentierte sie im Sommer 1987 auf dem Album EXIT 0 (GB #31, US #90), das sich trotz typisch nordamerikanischer Musik in Großbritannien besser verkaufte.  

Copperhead Road

Neue stilistische Herausforderungen suchte Earle Ende 1988 mit dem vom, Mainstream-Rock beeinflußten Material von COPPERHEAD ROAD (GB #42, US #56). Per Keyboards wurden Dudelsackklänge erzeugt, eine romantische Mandoline mischte sich mit scharfen Gitarrenriffs, keltische Klänge mit Coun-tryrock. Earle wollte sich offenbar von Nashville-Traditionen absetzen.

1988 lieferte er für den Soundtrack zum John Candy / Steve Martin-Film -Planes, Trains And Automobiles- seine Version des Klassikers 'Six Days On The Road' und brachte die Singles 'Copperhead Road' (GB #45) und 'Johnny Come Lately' (GB #75) heraus. Tourneen, u. a. im Vorprogramm von Bob Dylan, und Konzerte standen 1989 in Earles Terminkalender. Im Sommer des darauffolgenden Jahres erschien die von Joe Hardy coproduzierte Platte THE HARD WAY (GB #22, US #100).

Vom hemdsärmligen Country über Rockabilly bis zum stampfenden Rock'n'Roll- (Hifi Vision) beherrschte der Mann mit der näselnden Stimme und dem zurückhaltenden Gitarrenspiel das komplette Spektrum des US-Pop. Im Juli 1991 gab er mehrere Konzerte in Großbritannien, u. a. beim Cambridge Folk Festival, und stellte dabei SHUT UI' AND DIE LIKE AN AVIATOR (GB #62) vor. Drogenprobleme brachten den -hart rockenden Countrymusiker- (Billboard) in Schwierigkeiten.  

Kokain und Crack

Als 1992 größere Mengen von Kokain und Crack in seinem Auto gefunden wurden. Wurde er zu einer knapp einjährigen Haftstrafe verurteilt. Sichtlich erholt nahm er 1995 TRAIN A COMIN' auf und trat am 18. April in Nashville erstmals wieder live auf.

Im Oktober arbeitete er für Emmylou Harris und richtete sein eigenes Label Mutiny Records ein. 1996 gelang ihm mit I FEEL ALRIGHT eine wahre Country / Folkrock-Meister-leistung. Der -Aussteiger aus dem Kommerzgetto Nashville, der den Rock 'n' Roll lebt und spielt- (Fachblatt), übertraf sich selbst.

Er hatte Drogenerfahrungen verarbeitet ('Cocaine Can't Kill My Pain') und schuf intensive Balladen wie 'Ellis Unit One' und bot insgesamt -ein Feuerwerk aus Rockabilly, Bluegrass, Folk und beinhartem Biker-Rock- (Musik Express).
