Justin Townes Earle has shared the music video for “Appalachian Nightmare,” a tune off his new record The Saint of Lost Causes (out May 24).

The stripped down acoustic number recounts a tragic tale of crime and personal anguish.

“I want this song to say that if you are marginalized, you will find anyway you can to survive,” Earle has said. “Drug problems and criminal behavior are not a problem of color, creed or race.”
