Dude is having a baby in September....cant wait to hear what poetry he comes up with this...

I'm not sure if he can top Southeastern. That record is so brutal and honest. I hope he does though.

Not that I'm wishing anything bad on the guy, but could you imagine the songs that would come out of a breakup with his wife?

What's with all the downvotes?

This, so much this. His words on the page just... no words.
A few of my personal favorites:
quote:
Driving to a baseball game on a Friday afternoon
Hotter than hell in Atlanta, Georgia.
I guess it's been fifteen years since I came through here
quote:
I can't get to sleep at night. The parking lot's so loud and bright.
The A.C. hasn't worked in twenty years.
Probably never made a single person cold,
quote:
You can't drive through Talladega on a weekend in October.
Head up north to Jacksonville. Cut around and over.
Watch your speed in Boiling Springs.
Then he channels his poetry into rhyme, almost like Robert Frost:
quote:
A heart on the run
Keeps a hand on a gun
It can't trust anyone

I think you hit the nail on the head RC. That's what sets Jason apart from his peers.

She said Andy you're better than your past,
winked at me and drained her glass,
cross-legged on the barstool, like nobody sits anymore.
She said Andy you're taking me home,
but I knew she planned to sleep alone.
I'd carry her to bed and sweep up the hair from the floor
If I hadd fricked her before she got sick
I'd never hear the end of it
she don't have the spirit for that now
We drink these drinks and laugh out loud,
bitch about the weekend crowd,
and try to ignore the elephant somehow
somehow
She said Andy you crack me up,
Seagrams in a coffee cup,
sharecropper eyes and her hair almost all gone.
When she was drunk she made cancer jokes,
she made up her own doctor's notes,
surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone.
I'd sing her classic country songs
and she'd get high and sing along.
She don't have much voice to sing with now
We'd burn these joints in effegy,
cry about what we used to be,
and try to ignore the elephant somehow.
Somehow
I buried her a thousand times,
giving up my place in line,
but I don't give a damn about that now
There's one thing that's real clear to me,
no one dies with dignity.
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.
Somehow.
Somehow.

Are you having a long day
Everyone you meet rubs you the wrong way
Dirty city streets smell like an ashtray
Morning bells are ringing in your ear
Is your brother on a church kick
Seems like just a different kind of dope sick
Better off to teach a dog a card trick
And try to have a point and make it clear
You should know compared
To people on a global scale
Our kind has had it relatively easy
And here with you there's always
Something to look forward to
Our angry heart beats relatively easy
I lost a good friend
Christmas time when folks go off the deep end
His woman took the kids and he took klonopin
Enough to kill a man of twice his size
Not for me to understand
Remember him when he was still a proud man
A vandals smile a baseball in his right hand
Nothing but the blue sky in his eye
Still compared to those
A stones throw away from you
Our lives have both been relatively easy
Take the(a) year and make a break
There ain't that much at stake
The answers could be relatively easy
Watch that lucky man walk to work again
He may not have a friend left in the world
See him walking home again to sleep alone
Or step into a shop to buy a postcard for a girl
I broke the law boys
Shooting out the windows of my loft boys
When they picked me up I made a big noise
Everything to blame except my mind
I should say I keep your picture with me everyday
The evenings now are relatively easy
Here with you there's always
Something to look forward to
My lonely heart beats relatively easy
My lonely heart beats relatively easy

Sorry, I just want to be clear on your stance here--
Jason Isbell is shitty, Phish is great?

It has been my experience that people become less creative after they have kids, for whatever reason (probably because they are spending time with and taking care of kids instead of creating good art).
They don't call it "Dad Rock" for nothing.

You must not know of Jason or his music if you think his message and lyrics will be diluted because of a baby.

Correct.
Phish is the greatest live band of all time.
Isbell released one mediocre album that alt country dorks lapped up.
Posted on 2/19/15 at 12:17 pm to HeadyBrosevelt
I guess he needs to put out multiple mediocre albums filled long drawn out jams to mask the below average lyrics.
ETA: I enjoy Phish

Different strokes for different folks, mon.
You're acting like Isbell is Luke Bryan or Florida Georgia Line. I don't even like country much at all, but he and Sturgill Simpson are both awesome. And yea Phish is great at what they do, but not everyone will be into that.
