Every commercial break On the history channel,they have a commercial for his new album.
I'm not sure I have ever seen that happen before.

I think it's a good move,and I think his quality of writing,is definitely great for music. I hope it works.

I hope so too for your sake,and I think you will be OK.

I don't know him,but he grew up not far from where I did. I hope he is about fairness, I doubt that he is quite as liberal as he pretends. Probably just playing the game.

I'll see him the 5th - can't wait. He gets some airplay on 95.3 the Range in Dallas

What? Why would he be pretending? Seems to me he is just calling it like he sees it. What game are you referring to?

I think Isbell is a real lib

Now is he some well-informed progressive with a well defined ideology that he's thought intently about? Probably not. He's a musician from the south who latched on to his role as some deeply southern man of progress. It's a pretty common thing in arts.

Hopefully he just remembers who supported him and doesn't demean them or abuse their support and $ by bludgeoning them with trite political opinions.

I write a lot of songs, many of them are not politically correct right now,so I don't pitch them.
It's not very hard to figure out.

I'm seeing him at a pretty intimate venue, is heckling allowed when he starts bitching about trump?

Is he though? Because to me, he's just stating a few political views while spending the vast majority of the time playing music and saying "tough shite" if you don't like it.

Feeling the need to disrupt a show because you don't like what someone is saying is akin to being a Bernie Bro on some college campus standing up and yelling at a speaker because he supports Capitalism or some shite. Snowflake AF.

He's being a Bernie bro by not liking trump. He would be disrupting the show by talking about politics. I would just be kindly reminding him to shut up and sing, yelling you have to go back etc

Well, I'll say this and move along before this thing devolves into the Poli Board.

"Snowflake" isn't limited to some party or political ideology. America is a cornucopia of snowflakes in this day in age.

You have the snowflake liberals melting and crying every time Trump says anything about policy. Then you have snowflake conservatives melting because the liberals said something bad about daddy. The free world is ran by a man that, when upset, has to Tweet like a teenager that got 'shade' thrown at them.

We're all a bunch of whiny people that, because of social media, somehow think our opinions matter more than others. You know what you're getting into with an Isbell show. Sit down, enjoy the music, and be a man.

I liked it better than "Libtard More Than Free", but it's no "BetaEastern".

I've seen him quite a few times and never heard him make one political statemen.
Did see a TV interview where he thought Trump was a rude, despicable piece of shite.

About all you're going to get from Isbell is "thank you so much for listening' thank you so much."

Got tickets for both Birmingham and Atlanta, can't wait

I hope isbell trips and gets the dick aids and can't procreate, and then goes back to his 400 unit roots.

Win win.
