Justin Townes Earle, an accomplished alt-country singer and songwriter who was a son of the country-rock firebrand Steve Earle, has died at age 38.

His death was confirmed late Sunday by his record label, New West, which did not give a cause or say where or when he died. In recent years he had been living in Portland, Ore.

“It is with tremendous sadness that we inform you of the passing of our son, husband, father and friend Justin,” read a post on the younger Mr. Earle’s Facebook page. “So many of you have relied on his music and lyrics over the years, and we hope that his music will continue to guide you on your journeys.”
