The ignorance here is astounding. Please find me an Isbell song that is even remotely rap.
Yeah, now I want to defend him after dogging him.
Definitely not in that crap sub-genre.
Does have some yacht rock songs though. the life you choose, for e.g. I still like it.
I'll give Isbell the benefit of the doubt that his brain is still recovering from years of heavy alcohol abuse. Those cells can regenerate though.

This stupid arse needs to brush up on his history and Google the Dixie Chicks and see what happens when you pull this shite with the country music crowd. Spoiler alert, it doesn’t work out well.
maybe with retards that listen to shite like the Dixie Chicks. I hate to break it to you though bud, but Country music traditionally had a lot of guys that were socially progressive for their time. That goes all the way back to the father of the genre, Jimmie Rodgers, who learned to play from black railroad workers 100 years ago in Mississippi.

This is true. My only bitch is that what’s considered “socially progressive” nowadays is straight lunacy. I was a huge Obama supporter in 2008 but I don’t even recognize liberalism now, just ten years later.

What does any of this have to do with “white privilege”?

Maybe, but there was a time a lot of people would have said that about civil rights and integration too.

You could say the same about conservatives too. Trump has completely transformed the right.
There's extremists on both sides. They just happen to be the loudest voices in the room, you just have to tune them out. Yes BLM, antifa, all those types of people are ridiculous and crazy, but those aren't normal liberals, those are the left's equivalent of the white nationalists assholes on the right that marched in Charlottesville.

It’s (current year)... and in order to be a conservative you also have to be a neocon? Do people really think this?

Best show I've seen in years
I was worried about if his style of music would resonate to a concert hall, it’s not the most upbeat music, but I’ll trust the OT and get even more excited about it now.

Just hear to say Southeastern is the best album of my generation.
Hate away one his new album. He’s pushing buttons on purpose and as this thread has gone 11 pages it seems he’s getting the reaction he wants

That’s my biggest buggaboo about progressivism. Change just for change’s sake is dangerous as frick. Just like people in 2016 saying “it’s time to have a woman president.” Ok...well what if the only woman in the election is a crooked, murdering, criminal, piece of shite?

If George Strait can rock out the fricking Superdome, then I think Isbell can handle whatever small concert hall he’s playing if he’s worth his salt.
On another note, George doesn’t sing from the heart, his view is that he’s there to entertain and he does a damn good job of it.

I wasn’t talking about Jason Isbell, I was talking about Cody Jinks.

So brave.
Yeah sorry I like my music unpushbuttoned.
Posted on 6/30/18 at 6:19 pm to TigerFanInSouthland
Ah, I have no doubt Jinks can deliver.
Posted on 6/30/18 at 6:20 pm to southernelite
But you get my wondering about the type of show he puts on though right? His music isn’t typically quick paced.

If he's playing with Ward Davis he's a hell of an opening act too

Name one such transformation. If anything, conservatives are giddy because a conservative President is actually trying and doing conservative things. The oddness is that the feeling is odd.

He used to be one of my favorite artists until this album came out. His old band (DBT) did the same thing and tried to get political. No thanks.
They need to remember their audience.

See this is such a dumb thing. You like the Beatles? Their politics are probably different than yours. What about CCR? Their politics are pretty left as well. Skynyrd was a band of hippies, same with the Allman Brothers. What if Stevie Ray Vaughan was a Communist? Would you not listen to him?
