re: Jason Isbell - Can’t Believe Some of Y’all Like This Guy

The guy has a few good songs, but he still sounds like 90% of his music comes off the same, tired template. He's overrated, most of all by himself it would seem.

I love a few of his songs, don't even listen to the vast majority, but if he were half as good as he believes he is then his catalog would be a lot deeper.

I think Stapleton falls into this category for me, too. Most of his original songs feel like they were written to showcase his voice (which is incredible) and not because they were trying to write a good song. His covers are usually good because he is so vocally talented and other people are much stronger songwriters.
