The first show I sat all the way through from start to finish. He played Wanderin’ for his encore (solo) and I almost cried. Song was my anthem for a good year. So good.

Justin Townes Earle - Wanderin’
If I had to pick a song that summed up 2010 in one fell swoop, it’d be this. A lot of looking for work (so many interviews), a lot of cities, a lot of moving and traveling in general. It’s been frustrating, but very worthwhile. I’m grateful for all my family and friends who’ve been so kind and generous to my broke and unemployed ass.
