Nearly every song reminded me of a previous song I'd heard from JTE. I was looking forward to this release, but there was simply too much 'been there, done that' to satisfy.

He has also vacationed extensively in Cork and Wexford, even owning (and may still own; I live in Ohio now) a small home outside of Cobh for a while, so your suspicion about Garth is baseless, IMO. He was well versed in the history of Eire well before he came here; the folks at RTE who interviewed him were rightly impressed.

My family is, in part, descended from the good folks in County Cavan. But I view with deep suspicion artists who spent a weekend in Kinsale and proceed to write authoritatively on the subject.

His third full-length album reflects this change in location. Gone are songs like “South Georgia Sugar Babe” or “Lone Pine Hill;” here are tales of subway operators and melancholy Brooklyn nights." Oh brother. Remember when Garth Brooks went to Ireland and came back and recorded "Ireland" for "Fresh Horses"? “It’s been a pretty big year or so for Justin Townes Earle. . . . he moved to New York City.
