    Does justice to his late son’s considerable musical legacy. A gruelling experience for J.T. fans to listen to; must have been traumatic for Dad to record.

    If the final track is an act of public mourning, the rest of J.T. is the loving and appreciative celebration Justin Townes Earle's music deserves.

    The mood is more celebratory than maudlin, but the father in also floors you with his grief. [Feb 2021, p.73]

    JT plays like an album of first takes. It’s multifaceted in its messiness: a leather hide wrapped around a tender heart. That loose quality plays up the differences between father and son.
