I was going to start this post talking about not knowing how to label this music, but apparently, it has been labeled pretty specifically as Americana. Americana, according to Wikipedia, is a mash up of influences from folk, country, blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and bluegrass. I guess I can see that. I definitely hear a lot of different styles. After a second listen to the song, I really started to hear a lot of Roy Orbison influence in the music, and that definitely fits with the mash up of the above styles.
Earle is the son of musician Steve Earle, who has had a very successful career. Justin has released five albums himself to date. This song comes from Nothing's Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now. I dig the song and plan on looking up some more of his work.
