Review of A Musician's Life: Justin Townes Earle

Well produced! Sounds like a typical musician who grows up not liking his father, drinks, and does drugs. I liked the music, and the piece flowed. However, the message was not particulary inspiring-nor did it teach, or have any sort of lesson built in.
