Isbell has to be partially retarded, right?

A lot? I can think of one song (White Man’s World) that is overtly political. There are a couple others that you could interpret some political meaning from (Hope The High Road and What Have I Done To Help). What else am I missing?

so 3 songs from 8 albums is "a lot" apparently. yes, isbell is very polarizing on social media but to say that the majority of his songs are political is false IMO.

His last album was very political. Everything he does now days is drenched in politics. The only way you dont see that is if your political views align with his. Which also makes you a fricking moron. But then again you prove that quite often on this board.

fricking this. Everybody listens to an old Hank Jr. rail about politics and he is wildly conservative. I don't think prime Bocephus was exactly a beacon of conservative values. Cash? Hell no.
George Jones I have no idea. Prime Jones was a drunk who was better served to stay quiet during those years.
Owens? BUCK Owens? California cowboy? Better not dig too deep on his politics. I don't pretend to know them, but I can assume some may be disappointed.
Separate the music from the musician. Until the politics bleeds into music. Then it is fair game.

For the most part I don't care about the politics of the musicians and I know I disagree with most of them. Make good music and I don't really care. The problem is when it becomes the person's entire identity, and all that person mainly talks about, like it has with this cuck Jason Isbell.

I can sense the massive butt hurt you have over muh politics and isbell. he's a hell of a songwriter even if I disagree with him on his politics. maybe mature a little bit and you'll be able to separate the art from the artist.

Watch out, he knows your political views now.

This isn't a very good take. Dylan might have voiced some politics when he was a kid starting out, because that was the type of scene where he decided to make his initial mark.
Once he shed that folk skin though, he didn't talk politics much, he let his songs speak for themselves and didn't beat you over the head with his views. If you liked him, you could buy his records.

Unless you are following him on Social media, how are you even aware of his political views? I would have no clue if I didnt follow him on Twitter (or read whining threads on this board)..

Uh, listen to his songs. Or watch him live. Or follow the singer songwriter, Americana, whatever genre in any way, shape or fashion. I don’t know what’s more funny, the people that he triggers or the people who pretend like he and his music aren’t overtly political.
ETA-He has a song where he gets all sappy about how great abortion is for gods sake lol.

Yeah - I assume if you dont like his politics (views or in songs), you'd just be done with him... if its something you cant get past...
This comes up every 2-3 months on this board, so its nothing new...
I know he expresses his political views and have no issues with him or any artists that do so...

Like I said in my previous post.
All those guys were true liberals - mostly speaking out for the blue collar little guys and against both the Dems and Reps in the govt. - closer to a modern day libertarion mixed with some populism
Isbell is a progressive leftist that supports a totalitarian way of govt run by corporate oligarchs all the while claiming everything they don't agree with is racist or sexist and apologizing for being white
Just look at the way that Steve Earle and Van Moorison who definitely lean way to the left spoke out against covid policies and govt response and then Isbell who towed the line and loved every insane policy

It seems like it's more like every 2 or 3 weeks. And it keeps coming up because his mouth never seems to stop running. He REALLY needs to let you/me know that he's better than us because of his beliefs.

maybe you should keep complaining about him on a messageboard. that'll show him!

My only exposure to Isbell is knowing that he and the Drive By Truckers were really popular on an Auburn board that I post on. I always assumed that they were a Jam band like Widespread Panic, which isn't really my thing either.
From that period, try The Day John Henry Died, Decoration Day, Goddamn Lonely Love and Outfit.
