It's no troll. I heard the hype so I checked him out at Jazzfest. What a waste of time. He may be talented but his music is atrocious.

Right, but you like really shitty music.

Sucks that he keeps taking up prime time slots at festivals


He's much better in a small venue. I listened to his slot at christmas jam on panicstream this am and it was horrible compared to the Manship show last year.

I think it was his Southeastern that everybody loved last year on here.

Gonna dive in and see what its all about tonight.



Southeastern is his best album by far... however I don't think it contains his best song or songs...

If southeastern gets you hooked on him... then great! But go back and listen to his older stuff, it is just as good or better. As a whole album Southeastern is probably the best though... But he has 20 or so other GREAT songs from his past.

I think he probably wrote 70% of all my favorite trucker songs. This is probably my favorite out of all his work.

He wrote some great songs for the truckers and Southeastern is a masterpiece but in between he wrote a whole bunch of shite with a couple OK songs sprinkled in

The MB is pretty behind, then. Isbell was hot last year. This year it's Sturgill Simpson who is hot in the "indie music critics embracing country/folk in order to seem well rounded" circles.

Ahh yes, the genius it takes to grasp the born in Bama, product of Nashville, overtly sappy, mumbling, rambling alt country of Jason Isbell. You could at least hop on the Sturgill fad for some country that chooses to be creative, challenging, and fresh. I'm sure there are plenty of backwoods, I want to cry in my beer fans who can listen to Isbell while cutting their wrists but goddam it would be nice if he'd stop taking prime stage real estate from talented performers. I've heard his shows are more intimate in a small venue; good... Stay there.

Sturgill Simpson takes a massive steaming shite on Isbell.

Bob Dillon, Sturgis Simpson and a love child of Randy Newman and Townes Van Zandt aspire for admittance into the temple of the all powerful Jason Isbell.

You could argue that singer songwriter did not exist before Jason Isbell.

On the seventh day Jason Isbell shite out John Prine and fapped out a dribble of Steve Earle.

Disagree... he wrote some 6 or more great songs for the truckers (God damn lonely love, outfit, decoration day, tva, dress blues, never gonna change, danko manuel, etc .... then he had about 3 albums each with some great songs on them... (seven mile island, the blue, chicago promenade, cigarettes and wine, hurricanes and hand grenades, sunstroke, no choice in the matter, soldiers get strange, codiene, alabama pines, street lights, go it alone...)

To me, Isbell's worst album was the "here we rest" album...

ETA: ok, after thinking about it, maybe i agree somewhat... but I think isbell produced about the same amount of good songs per album with the truckers as he did after going out on his own... until southeastern.... in which each song is just fricking awesome.
