Steve Earle’s J.T. was a tribute to his late son, Justin Townes, who died of a drug overdose. Steve himself struggled with addiction and overcame it. To see your son go down the same path and not make it has got to be heartbreaking.

That whole album is brutal. Beautiful, but brutal. Justin was like the antithesis of a nepo kid. I mean I’m sure it helped having the dad he did. But he had so much natural fucking talent. Really sad.
