Kids in the Street is the seventh studio album by Justin Townes Earle, released on May 26, 2017 on New West Records. It is the first album Earle recorded outside of his hometown of Nashville;[3] Kids in the Street was recorded with first-time collaborator[4] and producer Mike Mogis at ARC Studios in Omaha, Nebraska. The album is the third and final part of a trilogy, following Earle's Single Mothers (2014) and Absent Fathers (2015).[5][3] Kids in the Street is Earle's first release on New West Records.[4] The first single from the album was "Champagne Corolla", featuring a lyric video directed by Tom Kirk.[6]

Earle noted the upbeat tone of the album, saying in an interview that he "got married and am getting ready to become a father ... this is the first record that I've written since I've been married. There's definitely an uplifting aspect to this record in a lot of ways, because I'm feeling pretty positive ... this record's more about looking outward on what's happening, and writing about subjects like gentrification and inner city strife. [Kids in the Street] also has more of a soul influence to it, and it's got a deeper connection to the blues than anything I've done before."[7]
