Justin Townes Earle: A Nod to Dolly

On stage, Justin Townes Earle is straight from country music's past; tall and lanky, a crooked Stetson, and a big belt buckle color his appearance as much as the Hank Williams and Porter Wagoner color his songs.

The son of Steve Earle, the younger is now basking in the acclaim that his father has enjoyed for years. His breakthrough album, Midnight at the Movies, drew countless accolades, an ever-growing fanbase, and now a headlining tour. He and Dawn Landes have also collaborated on a cover of Dolly Parton's "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind."

At this point, the question is not when Justin Townes Earle's career will eclipse that of his father, but how soon.
