Justin Townes Earle is pleased to announce the release of 'Absent Fathers,' the companion album to the amazing 'Single Mothers' released earlier this year.

The album was recorded alongside 'Single Mothers,' with the two originally conceived as a double album. However, as Justin began to sequence it, he felt each half needed to make its own statement and they took on their own identities. Featuring 10 tracks plus a stunning acoustic cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" that is exclusive to Australian and New Zealand editions, 'Absent Fathers' showcases exactly why Justin Townes Earle is considered the leading light in Contemporary Americana.
