The songs he wrote with DBT were absolutely devastating. You can tell he wasn't in a good place, but dam if those songs weren't powerful. Especially Danko/Manuel and GD Lonely Love.
Isbell was and will always be the best trucker. I am glad he is doing solo stuff now. He had so much untapped potential with the truckers that is blooming now.
So nice to hear from someone who believes the hype. DBT made him improve, and fired him because they were tired of his issues. His wife, Shonna Tucker, DBT bassist, divorced him. He was an insufferable cokehead and drunk... And apparently has forgotten Amanda Shires was successful and had her own money and career before Nashville came around to see if he was worth anything.
he doesnt know what he's talking about. 2 sides to every story, and if you accept the version given by a 'friend'' of someone who used to work with him, well, you aint in line for no high iq prize. This bigmouth small eyes idiot sure has lots to say when he should probably stfu
Look at how much better he looks as an older, sober man.
Big fan, glad this popped up in Jan 2020, after watching all "recent" vids on RUclips; one of the best singer/songwriters ive heard, ever thus..far.

Couldn’t agree more
This is a great video! I still love the Truckers and enjoy the solo careers of all involved. Change can be a good thing.

@@klimtklavier 11 years later Isbell is still amazing.
Such a great talent. Thanks for this interview.
Look how much he has grown
I reckon there's something to the old saying "still water runs deep". What an impressive writer!
The rest is history...not sober yet here.
great interview and musicisn! Jason also plays a great guitar!!!
Jason Isbell is great by all means. Jesus, look at him here and look at him in his latest videos. He quit drinking.
Dang, young Jason Isbell sounds just like Anderson East (their talking voices)
I always say that Anderson East is essentially if Jason Isbell attempted to sing like Chris Stapleton!
Thank God she saved him!😉👍
I'm not sure she did...
😢
2008 was a looooooong time ago.
where is the performance of "the magician" that's at the beginning of the video? I'd like to watch it...
The Magician
Lol ten or fifteen bucks for a concert ticket. Those were the days.
My family and I discovered him around The Nashville Sound or so. I’d go every night if they were that cheap.
$10 or $15 Isbell tickets.... those were the days! Just spent over $180 for two nights at the Fox.
that is because it was the Fox.
30-50 at many other places.
I definitely wish the era of cheap concerts hadn’t missed me. But damn less than a hundred dollars is still a steal compared to a lot of other things.
that haircut
10 or 15 bucks to heckle Isbell. My oh, my the difference 10 years makes.
Dean Wormer's advice was heeded eventually. Hood and Cooley abide.
@BigEyesSmallMouth What are you talking about?
