Harlem River Blues LP

Justin Townes Earle, son of Steve Earle, found his commercial breakthrough with this Bloodshot Records album, a loose, horn-and-organ-flecked take on Americana that critics heard as much as urban soul as country. The title track won the Americana Music Association's Song of the Year in 2011, and the record became his best chart showing to date, reaching the top ten on Billboard's folk albums chart.
