jason isbell 🤠

I've written about him before (as a live performer and about his documentary, Runnin' With Our Eyes Closed, which I still can't recommend enough). I suspect that a lot of people heard him for the first time last night at the DNC. And that a lot of people who loved his SOUND were kinda shocked to discover his politics/worldview. That's OK. I've loved his songwriting since I first caught him live with Drive-By Truckers, years ago. Here he explains the story behind where last night's song (his best IMO), "Something More Than Free," came from. Any of his work is worth exploring further but you could do a lot worse than start here.

jason isbell's documentary "runnin' with our eyes closed"

I don't know many recovering alcoholics who are so open about their struggles with sobriety; the challenges of being married to and creating with someone who's also in your band (Amanda Shires, who has a solo career of her own); being away from your little daughter on tour; opening up about the weight problems you had as a kid; allowing a film crew to come into the studio and watch the painstaking process of creating an album (during Covid, no less). I love how raw and ragged this is, how emotionally "wet" the paint is in parts, and that Jason is brave enough to let us all inside to see. I loved Drive By Truckers ("Goddamn Lonely Love" anyone?) but his solo work is just *chef's kiss*. This doc kind of explains why and showed me so much more than I expected to see. And it's playing on planes too, ha.

Absolutely by dijon

This album was recommended to me three summers ago by someone I’ve been obsessed with since. It has carried me through various seasons of heartbreak and just law school in general
