Singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle talks to Thirsty about covering the Replacements.

“The Replacements were a lot more than just a punk band,” Earle explained. “They were one of those bands...they had the punk sound and attitude early on, but what separated them was you could really hear the roots of American music in them. And they were great songs. Great songs can be played anyway that you want to. They should be able to be done in any fashion.”
