Given Justin Townes Earle’s recent move from his longtime Nashville home to NYC, and the numerous track references to his new digs on his upcoming record (“One More Night in Brooklyn”, “Working For The MTA”, “Harlem River Blues”) many fans are wondering if a big city sound isn’t far behind.  Well, the new album’s first single and title track “Harlem River Blues” sounds a lot more like Nashville than the Big Apple.   The new tune has a big throwback vibe (think Sun Records meets rootsy gospel music), and is certainly worth a turn for fans of the Americana sound.  Stream the song on the player below, and if you like it grab the free MP3 download too!

The new album, Harlem River Blues will be released September 14th.
