I will agree that Southeaster has better production and is over all a lot more complex. With that said I think that's what hurt the album IMO. Isbell is a great singer / songwriter. No need to dress up the album with extra production and multiple complex sounds. My favorite song is elephant because of how simple it is. Sometimes more is less.

It's really not fair to compare the two albums when you think of Isbell's much larger budget and access to some of the best studios and producers.

Moreland's newest beats just about any album of it's genre in the last 10 years.

Been spinning In The Throes a good bit lately, in the rotation with Southeastern and Drew Kennedy's new record, Wide Listener

We both met him and hung out with him when he played BR but we don't actually know him.

He's just an awesome talent

Songwriting reminds me a lot of a Chris Knight with a little Hayes Carll thrown in.

Though since he plays just about everything on every song, I'd say he's a more talented musician.

Easy. I want to make babies with Hayes Carll so he's pretty much the gold standard.

Moreland is the tits, though.

I mean that's great company to be in and all but I just don't hear the comparison.

He has a completely different style of storytelling. Doc was right with the Townes comparison I think. He's just not BETTER than Townes

Better than Southeastern? Those are strong words. Is there anywhere to listen to it online?

a great thread. Southeastern and In The Throes are outstanding records. The review on 9 bullets really sums up what i have a tough time articulating:

As far as the production is concerned, John recorded the entire record in his parents house. He wasn't in a fancy Nashville studio on some kind of absurd budget. I think the production value is remarkable considering where he put it all together and it adds some authenticity and honesty that perhaps wouldn't have been captured elsewhere..

I'm super hyped about seeing again him with Caleb Caudle in November.

He deserves a solid turnout; hope everybody can bring a few folks.
