A new posthumous Justin Townes Earle album will collect unreleased and rare material from the late artist's time on New West Records. All In: Unreleased & Rarities (The New West Years) arrives via the label on August 9.

The 19-track collection gathers unreleased demos from what would be Earle's final album, 2019's The Saint of Lost Causes, in addition to material from around the time of 2017's Kids in the Street.

Additionally, All In includes covers of Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days," John Prine's "Far from Me," Paul Simon's "Graceland" and Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," the last of which you can hear in the player below.

Calling the late singer-songwriter "familiar, inventive, creative, and clever," New West Records writes, "Justin Townes Earle was always a champion of the underdog and All In features in-depth looks at the hopeful, and the hopeless. Fueled by empathy, baked in the blues, Justin was never without something poignant or humorous to say."

Earle passed away in August 2020 from an accidental drug overdose. He was 38.
