Justin Townes Earle made his network-TV debut in 2011, performing “Harlem River Blues” with Jason Isbell on ‘Letterman.’ It was a magnetic, must-see performance
in 2011. Dressed in a crisp brown suit and bowtie, and bending his well-over-six-foot frame into the microphone, the then-29-year-old sang with haunting conviction about putting old ghosts and troubled days well behind him. So confident in his newfound state of grace was Earle, that heaven just had to let him in — and he was going to test his theory by drowning himself in the Harlem River.
“When you see me walkin’ up the FDR, just a-singin’ and a-clappin’ my hands/tell my mama I love her, tell my father I tried, give my money to my baby to spend,” Earle sang in celebration. “Harlem River Blues,” the title track to his 2011 album, was Earle at his most spiritual. It was modern-day gospel, delivered by a guy who had seen some shit. He had been living in New York since 2008 and he took to the city and its culture, even writing an entire song about the subway system, the forlorn “Workin’ for the MTA.
