Justin Townes Earle - You Can’t Leave

Elliston and Eighth will mostly focus on the indie indieness in Nashville, because the rock is pretty much what I’m into and what I like to cover.  But I have to admit, nearly six years in Nashville has helped foster respect for certain facets of more country-ish music, particularly for artists like Justin Townes Earle.  Steve Earle’s son certainly sways farther toward honky-tonkin’ than I’m always comfortable with, but he has earned quite a bit of respect and praise from the hipsters (see his Daytrotter session), and his sound is far more classic than CMT.

This week sees the release of his second full-length, Midnight at the Movies, but this song is actually from his EP, Yuma.
