{"product_id":"justin-townes-earle-yuma-gold","title":"Justin Townes Earle - Yuma [Gold]","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery great songwriter has a starting point, and for Justin Townes Earle it was Yuma, a six-song debut EP from 2007 newly pressed on shimmering gold vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA year before his full-length debut, The Good Life, the Nashville-raised songwriter introduced himself with this short, spare collection. Earle carried a heavy musical inheritance, as the son of Steve Earle and a namesake of Townes Van Zandt, yet these songs already sound like nobody but himself. He went on to win Americana Music Awards for Emerging Artist and for Song of the Year with Harlem River Blues, before his death in 2020 at just 38.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe arrangements are sparse, which puts the focus squarely on his voice and his storytelling. The Ghost of Virginia and the title track show off his gift for character sketches steeped in old-time music, while I Don't Care and Let the Waters Rise lean on country blues and gospel roots with a weariness that sounds well beyond his years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is music with deep Southern roots, delivered with remarkable restraint and not a wasted word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans who know his albums, Yuma is an essential piece of the puzzle, and on gold vinyl it makes a fitting tribute to a songwriter gone far too soon, whose catalogue keeps finding new listeners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57351078576433,"sku":"7443020153173","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Justin_Townes_Earle-Yuma_Gold.jpg?v=1794554059","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/justin-townes-earle-yuma-gold","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
