The available review examines Justin Townes Earle's 2019 album The Saint Of Lost Causes, placing it in the context of his biography and American songwriting traditions. It highlights social themes (gentrification, environment) and musical references to Dylan, Springsteen and Cash. The review notes his lineage (son of Steve Earle) and personal struggles, and reads the album as a reconciliatory, hopeful record.

For:Fans of Americana, alt-country, folk, and socially conscious singer-songwriters

 This boy born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1982 is still relatively young, but he arrives at this album after a very long journey, with the heavy task, moreover in the year of the fiftieth anniversary of Woodstock, of putting together the last half-century of the history of American music.
