36. First song I heard by Jason was Goddamn Lonely Love from one of the DBT albums

Oct 2018

A friend who knew I loved Americana turned me onto it (an ex-GF actually) and I fell in love with DBT & after I listened to a couple of their albums that day I quickly determined there was three singers ... and Jason's songs were ... pretty much the one's I liked best.

I still don't think Jason's wrote a BETTER song than that first one I heard, but he's got plenty that are equally good. But GDLL will always be special to me. I can sing and play a decent cover of it, too

Wouldn't call him country. Americana? Roots rock? Roland99 Oct 2018 #5

He's been slowly moving closer to country sweetloukillbot Oct 2018 #7

That's why I was saying I wouldn't consider him country. Roland99 Oct 2018 #24

Preach!!! Love this post so much! Docreed2003 Oct 2018 #29

Jason's music has kept me going sweetloukillbot Oct 2018 #6

I love the lyrics of that song ... but ... there's always been something just a little jarring about mr_lebowski Oct 2018 #22

I felt the same way about "Nashville Sound" initially Docreed2003 Oct 2018 #28

I've enjoyed the live versions of the songs I've heard ... mr_lebowski Oct 2018 #34

Yeah, we live in the Nashville area Docreed2003 Oct 2018 #35

Oh I've watched it ... a few times ;) mr_lebowski Oct 2018 #38

So it's actually a live album bro... Docreed2003 Oct 2018 #39

I've definitely watched a 'Live at The Ryman' video of Jason ... mr_lebowski Oct 2018 #40

Yeah that's the show from 10/13/17 Docreed2003 Oct 2018 #41

I can see that sweetloukillbot Oct 2018 #45

He's great. His work has pretty much always had political subtext, but it became much more overt on fishwax Oct 2018 #9

This is one of my favorite songs on the entire album Norbert Oct 2018 #11

Very evolved "country music." He has a conscience. His voice reminds me of Neil Young on this song. Judi Lynn Oct 2018 #18

Isbell has never bowed down to corporate radio, but he can sell out the Opry House here in redstateblues Oct 2018 #10

FYI... Docreed2003 Oct 2018 #26

Saw him & the 400 Unit last Summer. Norbert Oct 2018 #12

I'm neutral on whether Mrs. Isbell is there or not ... I like if she is ... and I like if she isn't mr_lebowski Oct 2018 #15

One song, If We Were Vampires Norbert Oct 2018 #23

Amanda is a phenomenal artist in her own right Docreed2003 Oct 2018 #27

I, for one, most definitely do ... never heard that (though, I sorta have, if you know what I mean) mr_lebowski Oct 2018 #21

Love that song! Roland99 Oct 2018 #25
