Justin Townes Earle is playing at the Fox Theatre on Saturday, September 27. What you see here is a portion of the cover for his latest album, Single Mothers. It is another jewel in a growing catalogue of remarkable work. Earle has a unique ability to see the dignity and ugliness alike in modern, everyday life.

Newly sober and married, this record finds him delivering that viewpoint with renewed clarity. You can see for yourself tomorrow; here's how.

The cover of the new album features songwriter Sammy Brue and a companion. It is meant to symbolize youth, and in keeping with that, we'd like to see a photo you feel does the same thing. It could be a photo from your childhood or of children you know (and who are alright with you sharing their image, obviously), but it could also be something else. Creativity!

How to enter: Please post your photo on Twitter and mention us (@westword_music) or use the hashtag #JTEphoto. We'll pick a winner at 4 p.m. today, and that person will have a pair of tickets waiting at will call.
