    Another great choice! I think 'If We Were Vampires' was probably the best written song of 2017.

    • @chrismartin500
      @chrismartin500 6 лет назад +24

      Arguably the best written song of all time. Isbell is a savant.

      If any of you are not already aware of it Jason is not only one of the best song-writers in America today, he is also one of the best guitarists, check out some of his work with his former band Drive-By Truckers. This man can rock & roll HARD when he wants to

    Like you fellas I'm a black man raised in the 80's and 90's who loves hip-hop and r&b. But also love good music no matter the genre. I first heard Jason Isbell watching an episode of Austin City Limits on PBS. So I must hear you brothas review the song that blew my mind... and lead me to dig deeper into this man. Please review Jason Isbell's Austin City Limits video singing "Cover Me Up". He goes IN on that song.

    As an almost 70 year old woman, those 40 years have come and gone. But those years I will likely spend alone are very real to me. Just driving down the road listening to Sirius this song came on and shook me to my soul. I love it.

  • @kaydub9508

    Little background here:
    The girl singing backup is Jason’s wife Amanda Shires, who also plays violin in the band (she is also a great solo artist who is worthy of a reaction).
    So, the other thing is before Jason’s album Southeastern and during his time with the band DriveBy Truckers, Jason was a raging alcoholic! I mean the guy had a big bottle of Jack Daniels on stage at all times. The guy was gonna die. I hung out with him a few times during this period, it was declining pretty rapidly. Checkout the drive by truckers song “goddamn lonely love”. It’s just as brilliant, but you can see he is in a different place......
    So, meeting Amanda basically saved his life, he got sober. He basically wrote that Southeastern album to his wife . Checkout the song “cover me up”. It’s amazing

    My grandpa passed away in January after being married to my grandma for 68 years. This song had always been one of my favorites, but I couldn't share it with my dad until today because of how perfectly this represented their relationship. My dad called me within 4 minutes of sending the link, and I could that the song had shook him like it shakes me. "You know I could never share that with your grandma, she wouldn't make it through." were his first words.Turns out my parents' 40 year anniversary was last summer and it hit extra hard. Jason Isbell's writing is on another level.

    You're appreciation of the writing here reveals a wealth of understanding. As someone who lost his wife of 43 years, 3 years ago, the layers to these lyrics are really brought home. There are very few lines ever written that are as personal or truthful.

  • @sunnydaleclassof99

    Jason Isbell is on fire right now. Everything he touches turns to gold. You should check out his first band Drive-By Truckers. They're one of the greatest rocks bands of the last 20 years. "Sink Hole" is great & it's themes are just as timely now as when it was released.

    Watch him perform it live when she joins their shows. He sings it looking in to her eyes. How they don't both just burst in to tears is beyond me. Check out Cover Me Up too. Another song he wrote for her. In concert it will give you goosebumps.

    • @OTBOPU11

    You guys are awesome, and truly genuine. Jason Isbell is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation and by far my favorite artist currently performing. If you ever get to see him live you are in for a treat. He really cranks it up and rocks out live. Two more Jason Isbell song suggestions for you. Speedtrap Town and Cover Me Up are both great songs to check out and Hudson Commodore is another favorite of mine that showcases a little different style.

      Mostly into rock and metal myself, but I do enjoy some country. Particularly 50's, 60's, and 70's. But there are a few gems out there today. This is a great song. I'm just not a fan of the "pop" country that gets played on the radio.

    To whomever may find it interesting, 'The 400 Unit' refers to the psychiatric ward of ECM hospital (aka Eliza Coffee Memorial) in Jason Isbell's hometown of Florence, Alabama. It's called the 400 Unit because it is a separate building located on the 400 block of the same street. Whereas, ECM is located on the 200 block. I know because it is also my hometown. Although, to be specific, Jason Isbell is from Greenhill, AL. A small community just outside Florence.

      James Adkisson I agree! I’m sure they will love Roundabout for its genius writing and for the undeniable “groove” it has. Also, I feel like they should give Aqualung a listen, it’s a great song as well! I’d like to see them branch into Molly Hatchet, Skynyrd, Living Colour, or even the Doors; their take on music is so genuine!

    I'm sure that they've been recommended to you before, but you should check out a band that Jason Isbell used to be a part of, Drive-By Truckers. He wrote some great songs with them and the band has some other great songwriters, as well.

      "Space City" by Drive-By Truckers (one of Mike Cooley's songs) is another great song with a similar sentiment.

    Hey dudes I noticed you guys are really into groove and rhythm when it comes to rock music. I strongly suggests listening to Kyuss, especially the song "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop". These guys are one of the pioneers of the genre "Desert Rock" (or stoner rock) and are basically the embodiment of groove.

    Relatively Easy or White Mans World are really good “perspective” songs from Jason Isbell. The dude is one of the greatest wordsmiths we’ve ever seen. Not every day play list music, but quiet night, having a few cocktails music for sure.

    This is such a beautiful song. Great writing and wonderfully sung. And great review!
    If you want another song i recommend "Last of my Kind" from the same album, where he deals with social change moving to a big City from his small hometown. Or "Chaos and Clothes" which In which he offers his friend help dealing with his divorce.
    That whole Album has many gems i often come back to. "Anxiety" and "White Mans World" (where he tries to deal with how to raise his daughter in a world with many privileges and disadvantages that race, gender or status bring) stand out too.

    I simply have a hard time listening to this song without fighting back tears. If there was one song in my life that I wish I would have written, this would be the song. His lyrics stick with you and you cannot shake them. And having Amanda adding background on his music adds to this masterpiece...

    I’m so happy you guys did this song, it’s one of my favorites. Next you absolutely need to listen to some Zac Brown Band, they’re considered a country band but they’re capable of anything (just listen to their album Jekyll and Hyde). I would recommend you guys listen to Goodbye In Her Eyes, it’s a very heavy song but you’ll love it.

    I love that you guys unlike some reaction videos where they just re quote the lyrics, y’all actually break the lyrics down and paint the picture of the song. It’s so annoying when people just quote the song and say how good the song is. Instead of breaking it down how you hear it and interpret it!
