Not to take anything away from White Man's World or What It Means, but those two selections are too on-the-nose for two artists who embody progressiveness and whose sentiments can be felt throughout their entire catalogs.
CMA Album of the Year Nominees... Album of the Year The Breaker, Little Big Town From A Room: Volume 1, Chris Stapleton Heart Break, Lady Antebellum The Nashville Sound, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit The Weight of These Wings, Miranda Lambert
Definitely. I'd take his and John Moreland's new one over Isbell or Stapleton. Hell, I might even take Colter Wall's new one over both of those, too.
Stapleton's is average as Capstone 88 said - probably still getting residual love from Traveller I actually really liked Miranda Lambert's album
Fun Fact: In Molotov, the brown-eyed girl Isbell is singing about is actually his wife and bandmate Amanda Shires
Yep. I found it very skippable, and it doesn't help that the best track on it (Either Way) is a complete kick in the balls. Spoiler To be fair, Broken Halos is good, too.
Red Rocks setlist Anxiety Hope and the High Road 24 Frames Alabama Pines Go It Alone Something More Than Free Decoration Day White Man's World Codeine Chaos and Clothes Cumberland Gap Last of My Kind The Life You Chose Speed Trap Town Flying Over Water Stockholm Cover Me Up Super 8 If We Were Vampires Awesome show. Thought Amanda was a great opening act. Frank Turner...interesting. Very 90s band sound to them.
This is so ridiculous. Nothing in there is racist and if you need outside confirmation, Killer Mike listens to it before every show to get hyped up.
I have no idea how you square being a fan of Isbell or the Truckers with your constant complaints about their politics.
If you have a single gripe about DBT or Isbell's politics then it makes me wonder if you ever actually listened to any lyrics they've ever written.
i dont care a bit, hes just obviously become much more vocal about it now. unrelated, anyone else notice how he tries to fit "rock and roll" into every mention of a song or reference to the band. he must have said it 50 times in the acl concert a couple of weeks ago. but he also wants to be john prine. i vote for rock and roll jason.
And even if he did, who gives a fuck? He's the musician and can play whatever the hell he wants for whatever reason he wants. But maybe I'm just naive to the whole thing.
His opinion of what he is and the actual music tend to differ, which is totally natural. He called Nashville Sound a rock and roll record when it was really a country record at heart with a couple of rock songs on it.
i dont care either way, love all his music. just saying he seems to force this rock and roll thing and im guessing he doesnt want to be called americana, but hes really good at both. the balance also makes for a great show.
Imo Americana is the easiest descriptor...not really sure I agree that Nashville sound was a country record at heart and personally I consider him more rock than country but I suppose it's subjective.
That's fair, definitely. Idk, when I think and hear a "rock and roll record," Nashville Sound isn't close to what comes to mind.
Yea it's a rather ambiguous label. To me, Last of my Kind and Something to Love are the only songs that feel really country.
In the scope of Isbell records, The Nashville Sound is definitely a rock album. Something More Than Free was a country album and Southeastern was a folk album.
Show was awesome! Only one song encore was surprising. Was definitely expecting 3 songs, to include whipping post. Somebody said they have time limits because of noise ordinances? I'm guessing that's why he just played vampires.
