Jason Isbell thread. The more I listen to him the more I'm moving him up my list

[The Polack MSgt]

Of all time artists.

Just a monster talent. Singer, picker & songwriter and top tier at all 3

Sad Farewell

Rocker showing anger at rigged America

Reflective love song acknowledging our mortality

1. My friend, if you've never watched this show, I highly urge you carve out the necessary time

And just sit back and rock it. It's so freaking good ... I've watched it like 4 times start to finish, and certain songs more than that. Admittedly, it does take them a few songs to really get into a groove (Palmetto Rose seems like a soundcheck really) but (at the latest) by the time Dress Blues hits at song 5 ... it's all golden from then on.

5. I have not seen the movie, but I will ...

I love that they used Zip City, I freaking love that song ...

Cooley's lyrics are all great but I especially love this one:

"So keep your drawers on, girl, it ain't worth the fight
By the time you drop them I'll be gone
And you'll be right where they fall the rest of your life"

4. I'll add one of my favs

6. My fave tune from Nashville Sound ... Just Jason and Sadler laying it down acoustic

So freaking good ...

7. Jason is an Awesome Talent and Human Being.

He has an inspiring life story too. Conquered his demons with the help and love of a good woman. Amanda accompanies him on some of his songs on the violin/fiddle. I love that kind of redemption stories. Here's a clip of one of my favorite JI songs, Songs that she Sang in the Shower. I'm a R&B and Jazz lover mostly but I love me some Jason Isbell too.

8. Damn, I hope I remember to check this in the morning.

9. Yeah, not many songwriters are in his league

I think this is my favorite of his post DBT songs:
Flying Over Water:
