Probably, but if the album is like the first single, it’ll be his best album since Southeastern.

Stepping away from full band for the record….all acoustic….wondering if this will be his “Nebraska” album? Looking forward to it.

You’d think he would’ve waited til the election results to record “madam president”

Do I have to be vaccinated to get the record?

I disagree politically with a lot of artists that I love, but it's easy to put that aside to enjoy someone's art, especially super talented people like him.

Anyone going to comment on the song?

OK.
I thought that is a bit underwhelming and not on par with JI's best solo material. It may grow on me, which many of his songs tend to do over time and repeated listening. And, of course, it doesn't mean that the remainder of the record wont be fantastic.

You have to, otherwise you would hardly ever watch a movie or listen to music.
But some people are so over the top and in your face about it, it's kind of difficult to put that aside.
Isbell borders on that.

I agree. It’s no “wife’s son’s world”

I think a big part of the problem is Isbell is such a condescending company man. Name the issue and tell me Isbell posted about it, and I can tell you exactly what he said without looking.
That said, my complaints about his last few albums aren’t really about his politics. It’s that the number of good songs he has put out have dropped with each album since Southeastern.

This is where I'm at with this song. That said, I expect the album to be really good, because that is what he has set us up to expect.

To me it was two things:
1) I think the quality suffered as he became more and more of a progressive parody of himself. Some cringey writing down the stretch. So it's harder to decouple.
2) He's just too similar to annoying people most of us probably know IRL. Southern, probably told some racist jokes growing up, happy to use his southernness to gain credibility on all number of issues as it suits him and then turns the page and buries the type of people who nurtured him coming up with the broad brush of any number of progressive tropes. And it just comes off as an elitist thing, which is so strange considering how shallow and conformist it appears from afar. You're not staying in rural Alabama and zigging when everyone else is zagging, you're screwing off to Nashville to do it in environs where everyone is comfortable and everyone thinks and talks just like you (now) do.
Now, that said the new single is alright. I agree with his music tending to grow on you - my first impression is that the single won't be that impressionable with more listens, but TBD. I still think he's an incredibly gifted songwriter regardless of how obnoxious I find him to be.

I'll disagree in that I think Reunions was a pretty weak effort overall (compared to his other stuff), but it was sandwiched between The Nashville Sound and Weathervanes , both full of fantastic songs and displaying a pretty wide range of styles.
As for his politics...yeah, he grew up in small town Alabama, but that doesn't mean he can't grow/change. He doesn't have to be that person forever.

Unafraid and hard-on whether he be R,D, or I.

He seems like a pretentious douche to me.
