Kids In The Street [Import Disc]

[Machine Translation] JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE is a lyrical poet of the highest caliber, whose father, the angry country singer STEVE EARLE, also expresses the blood and talent he inherited from his father in his music. Like his father, Justin Townes Earle has been on a wandering journey and has captivated audiences with a sound that is steeped in the tradition of American roots rock. His voice and appearance are reminiscent of Woody Guthrie, the founder of folk music, and his sound is rooted in American roots, with elements of classic country, bluegrass, blues, and more, creating a different kind of appeal from his rock-oriented father. It has the power to draw the listener in with a different appeal from his father, who pushed rock music to the forefront. His voice, which is rich in flavor and nostalgia, resonates passionately in both band and guitar-only acoustic sounds, and appeals to listeners with a variety of emotions.

怒れるカントリー・シンガー、STEVE EARLEを父に持ち、父から譲り受けた血と才能を同じく音楽で表現する最高峰の叙情派詩人、JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE。父と同じく放浪の旅を続けながら、アメリカン・ルーツ・ロックの伝統を受け継ぐサウンドで聴く者を魅了する彼が、今作より新たにNew West Recordsと契約を交わし、前作より約2年振りとなる最新作『KIDS IN THE STREET』が完成。フォークの祖、ウッディ・ガスリーにも通じるその語り口と佇まいもさることながら、彼が鳴らすサウンドも、クラシックなカントリーやブルーグラス、ブルースなど様々な要素を散りばめながらアメリカン・ルーツに根付いたもので、ロックを全面に押し出す父親とはまた違った魅力で聴く者を引きこんでいく力を持っている。バンド・サウンドでもギターのみのアコースティック・サウンドでも、彼の味わい深く懐の深さを感じさせてくれる歌声は熱く響き渡り、聴く者に様々な感情を訴えかけてくる音だ。
