Justin Townes Earle - 2009 Tour Dates (Maxwell's tonight)
Justin Townes Earle went into the same business as his father. Steve Earle, the acclaimed singer and songwriter, passed on a lifetime's worth of advice about music and rebellion.Check out sessions with Justin on Laundromatinee and Daytrotter.Justin says his father wasn't easy to rebel against.
"I could have become a Republican," he says. "That would've really pissed him off."
Instead, says his dad, Justin took up golf. Steve says Justin would hit golf balls in the front yard, just to irritate him.
But Justin says that no one in his family -- on either his mother's or his father's side -- discouraged him from playing music. He was in trouble a lot when he was young, but Steve Earle says he recognized his son's behavior.
"I knew what this looked like," he says. "I couldn't do anything else." [NPR]

Seriously, guys, Justin and Cory will NOT be playing Maxwell's for pennies for long. You owe it to yourself to go see them--one of the best live acts out there today.
