JTE has signed to New West Records and will release a new album, ‘Kids in the Street’, on 26th May. The first track from the album to be released is ‘Champagne Corolla’.

Justin Townes Earle says, “Life has changed a lot for me in the last few years… I got married and am getting ready to become a father, and this is the first record that I’ve written since I’ve been married. There’s definitely an uplifting aspect to this record in a lot of ways, because I’m feeling pretty positive.” Earl reflects that “When I wrote songs in the past, I was looking in on what I was feeling, but this record’s more about looking outward on what’s happening, and writing about subjects like gentrification and inner city strife. This record also has more of a soul influence to it, and it’s got a deeper connection to the blues than anything I’ve done before.”
