Great Quotations: Justin Townes Earle

Videos by American Songwriter

“I’m very much a cocktail napkin writer. I wrote pretty much the whole record [Harlem River Blues] on the memo pad in my iPhone. Dylan tried to cram as many words as he could in a line. My goal is to put as few words into a line as I can. Life just isn’t that abstract.”

– Justin Townes Earle (via the Wall Street Journal)
