There's no way anyone who knew and loved Justin's music could listen to this and not cry.

As dignified and beautiful as the process of grieving publicly can be.. this is courage on display thank you

You're not wrong. I have songs I used to play with my best friend. Most of which I can't make it all the way through without breaking down.

I can't explain how much I love this song.

Fantastic song by JTE and Steve Earle. Been a fan of SE for 40 years !!

Wow. Just wow. I have a lot of respect for Steve Earle for not only speaking about such a traumatic loss publicly, but talking the audience through why this is so hard for him, and what he's feeling, not breaking down, and then performing his son's song about suicide, after losing that same son to a drug overdose. I know I wouldn't have the strength to do that, but in doing this public grieving, Steve Earle is helping so many others who've lost loved ones . RIP Justin. I know Steve will never "get over it" but I hope he has some measure of peace in his life today.

Well said. I saw Steve around this time and it was everything you described and what we see here. As Raw and real as it gets.

Emmylou. What a honey.

my wife and i left brooklyn together when i left for war, she flew to basic and tech school, as teens. she lived a life of individual choice, had 4 kids 3 husbands, the same one twice, and she died this year falling backwards on the stairs in assisted living, doing her laundry and it killed her. she lived with MS and still wanted to be on her own.. she went out with her boots on at 66. the MS didnt get her. she did it her way, and we both agreed, she was better off in central illinois then back in ny. adios

Steve Earle had very little to do with raising him and he certainly didn't grow up rich, or die rich for that matter. You should donate to Justin's wife and child's gofundme, to help them with all the debt he left behind. That would make up for your trolling ignorant comment...

When I tried listening to the record version of this, I couldn’t stomach it, it just seemed too, “busy”, I guess, even though the way Justin did it was very lively. But it just didn’t work for me. This stripped down version of just two people w their guitars, and Steve’s talk before just put a little more perspective to it. I still prefer Justin’s version, but I’m biased, because I think he may be my favorite all time solo musician

Totally of topic: she is just too gorgeous. wonderful voice. He is ... challenged!!!

Probably a bouzouki (or, as Steve says 'an octave mandolin' if you are going through TSA). I have not seen him play this one before. He used to have a Flatiron brand.

Ай бұрын

It's an octave mandolin. The song is in "G", and he's using "G" fingering. If it were a mandocello that fingering would produce a song in "C".

Gutted for Steve.

Didn't Justin kind of resent his dad? They had a tumultuous relationship, from what I've read and heard. I'm not sure this is true blue.

Emmylou is great Steve earl not so much

Not great

Sorry Steve but Justin sang it better

I've loved Steve since his first album, but if he really loved Justin he would have taken better care of him. The kid & his Mom lived in hell. Steve wasn't there or even supported them financially. Shitty Father... PERIOD.

They both had a disease, and both let it get in the way of parenting. Are you going to judge JTE for leaving his family? Also, Steve did step up when once he got clean and Justin lived with him. There was also a lot of pain in JTE’s life that had nothing to do with Steve.
