The son of alt-country star Steve Earle and godson of Townes Van Zandt, Justin Townes Earle writes and records a blend of blues, folk, rock, and country that has been captivating us for a while now, and his new album, Single Mothers, doesn't disappoint. We caught up with him on his current headlining national tour, at Royale in Boston, for this damn near perfect take on Fleetwood Mac's classic "Dreams." Based simply on our appreciation of his music, we knew it would be good. But when he brought out his guitar and some notes scribbled on paper, admitted he'd never played the song before, lit a smoke, and laid it down in two takes, well — just watch the video above. You'll see.

Yeah, definitely one of those covers where he makes it his own. JTE is so much better without the full band

Good cover. A little more of that JTE oomph would have sold it for me, though. Considering this was like his second run through, not bad.
