Notice how every time Jason plays this live he gets a giant cheer when he says "I sobered up, and swore off that stuff. Forever this time." I adore that. If you know his history he struggled a lot with addiction and was in a seriously awful place. It's down right beautiful that people would get so excited about a guy who manages to miraculously fight off the demons and get to a better place.
Sadler Vaden is the guitar player. The whole band is killer and Isbell is the best singer-songwriter of his generation. So many other songs you can sample here.
Jason Isbell wrote this song for his wife, whom is the backup singer and fiddle player, after dealing with alcohol addiction. You should listen to more of his songs like Live Oak, Elephant, and If we were Vampires. He is one of the best songwriters of our generation. He did a lot of writing when he was with the Drive By Trucker.
Michael, two things. 1. Go see Jason Isbell in concert. No one better these days. In non-covid times, he gets 6 nights at The Ryman. 2. Listen to everything. Outfit. Decoration Day. Dress Blues. Super 8. White Man’s World. His cover of Whipping Post. Elephant. Tupelo. Speed Trap Town. I can keep going. Top 5 current guitarists, prove me wrong.. Top 2 current songwriters. Hope you enjoy the voyage. Cheers.
Watching people discover Jason Isbell is my favorite thing in the world. Best songwriter in the game. I just subscribed to your channel on the assumption you're about to do a big run of his stuff once you start listening to his catalog. Welcome to Isbell experience. Enjoy!
Jason Isbell's Southeastern album is one that absolutely deserves a full, uninterrupted listen to from start to finish. I hope you can find some time to do that.
“I have no idea who this guy is”...to know you were about to start your Isbell journey made me so happy

Wait til you find out that the fiddle player IS his wife
Still and always better than Morgan Wallen.

The love of a woman saved this man's life. It just so happened that woman is his wife and fiddle player.

The guitarist playing the slide is Sadler Vaden, but believe it or not Jason is the best slide and lead player in the band.

Still one of the most underrated artists and writers of all time
I've never been able to watch someone's face as they discover Jason for the first time. I'm crying.
You could do Isbell songs all day, every day. He’s absolutely the best singer-songwriter-guitarist today, and among the all-time greats.
Love Jason Isbell! Listen to “If We we’re Vampires.” You’ll cry.
Michael: "I do not know who this person is."

Jason Isbell is Legit, better than anything they play on current pop, rock, or country mainstream radio.
That's not a song, it is pure gospel that goes deep in a hurt man's soul
