Rolling Stone Steve Earle Covers Son Justin Townes Earle’s ‘Harlem River Blues’ on ‘Kimmel’
Earle’s tribute album to his late son, ‘J.T.’, is out now
By
Jimmy Kimmel Live. The recorded version appears on the newly released album
J.T., a tribute to the late singer-songwriter, who died in August.
Strumming an octave mandolin, Earle leads his full band through a rollicking, pedal-steel drenched interpretation of the tune, which had traces of gospel harmony in its original incarnation. It’s all in stark contrast to the younger Earle’s lyrics, which describe a man who’s going to end his troubles for good by drowning himself in the river uptown. “Tell my mama I love her, tell my father I tried/Give my money to my baby to spend,” Earle sings.
