Justin Townes Earle

Justin Townes Earle’s rise to stardom was difficult as he had to find a way to step outside of his father’s shadow, Steve Earle. Although he dropped out of school when he was young, he learned the ropes through his dad. He also struggled with addiction like his father. Thankfully, by the time he launched his first solo album, he was already sober. Earle became part of the Swindlers, which was a band formed by the children of famous singers. It was here where Earle showed his skills in songwriting and which became his stepping stone to his growing career.

There was a usual theme to his songs which were mostly about his life experiences. Among these were Mama’s Eyes, Am I That Lonely Tonight, and Absent Fathers. Those who knew him to know that he was a kind soul but was quite private. It would have helped if he had investment planning during his heyday to help him secure his finances for the unexpected.
