@popvulture I’m a fan of Isbell (he’s opening his tour in Springfield and I just got tickets) but I agree with your take. Sometimes I feel like his lyrics are too meticulous if that makes sense. I’m really liking a lot of his new album. I think it’s his best since The Nashville Sound.

Nice! If you haven't seen him yet, you're in for a treat. I've seen him at least 5 times at this point if that tells you anything. If you're any kind of guitar geek, it's quite a show, and in general the musicianship of the whole group is off the charts.

Re: the lyrics, I really do love his, but I guess my faves do tend to be a notch more restrained. I think the simplest way to say it is that I know a song's special when it drives me to tears, but too often I hear an Isbell song and think "are you trying to make me cry?" Agree about the new album, love the fact that they got Sylvia Massey to mix it. I love Dave Cobb but it's nice to have a change, definitely tangible. I don't know what I'd call my fave album; Southeastern's of course probably the biggest contender for no.1, but there are plenty of individual songs on the other records that I think are just total crushers. Dreamsicle's a fave. I love Miles off the new one. Children of Children and The Life You Chose kill me. Ok I'll stop listing songs, haha...

@popvulture that’s awesome to hear about his live shows. It will be my first time seeing him and I do love guitars . I can say Southwestern is my favorite album of his and I just got the 10th anniversary vinyl (pink). Regarding lyrics, I agree there’s a big difference between feeling manipulated and feeling genuinely moved and it’s not always something I can put my finger on. But I absolutely live for the “goosebumps” Jeff mentioned above.

I saw him double billed with Father John Misty and was really impressed with how much better his stage presence was than FJM’s. Really good show.

@Matt that’s great. Show is in January and I’m excited. We haven’t seen a lot of live music lately and I’m trying to change that

Matt

You’ll have a great time I’m sure. He delivers.

Alright D are you happy now? Now I’m going to sit outside and listen the The Smile tonight.

@goosehd I'm pleasantly suprised they are putting out another album so soon after the last one

Rick Asley has served his purpose. I’m proposing RickRoll’s replacement. Maybe start like 2:20 in for peak ridiculousness with the dancing scene.

Tom MacDonald has been dropping some crazy and relevant messages in unique ways these last couple years. He can rap (No Response), sing (this song), and push people's buttons ("People are so stupid" and many others) like the best of them.
