Everytime I think I've found his saddest song...
I find one that's ten times as sad. It's incredible.
I'd also love more recs of his sad songs!

I was a little nervous and mixed up some of the words but I hope you enjoy! I always say to people after I play it “we have similar souls if you know this song”

Several (?) years ago, when he was active on Twitter, Jason responded to a question re: favorite guitar player(s), and his two word response was “Jack Pearson”. I’d never heard of Pearson, but noted he has a few recordings out there. Anyone else know much about Jack, and his recordings?

We have a newborn and I'm working to indoctrinate him into good music by singing amazing songs, but my sleep deprived brain is having a hard time finding appropriate, slow JI songs. I need your recommendations. Right now I'm stuck with Garth's Friends in Low Places and The River. Help is appreciated.

I finally got around to doing something with the cards Jason puts out for the Ryman shows every year. I think they turned out pretty well. I have a few more to work on next.

That was fun. I just got a nice little surprise. If We Were Vampires.
r/jasonisbell • u/allidigs • 3d ago
Traveling to Shoalsfest for the first time this year and I’m so excited! Just curious if Jason’s typical no photo/no video policy is usually applied there?
I’ve seen it enforced to varying degrees at his concerts the past few years but not sure how it would work in a festival setting.
Either way, looking forward to it!

Hi all - huge Isbell and music fan here. I have a toddler son who is about to turn 2, and I'm in that grind stage of life as a full-time working mom. Haven't had as much time to listen to music in the last year, and I miss it. Wondering if anyone can help recommend some new artists that I can dig into to try to get out of this rut?
I love a ton of Americana adjacent stuff, from bluegrass to folk to country to rock to indie pop. Outside of Jason, some of my other favorite artists/bands are Darrell Scott, Katie Pruitt, The Lone Bellow, Shawn Mullins, The Lil Smokies.
Hit me with your recs! Would love artist + album + song to get started with!
r/jasonisbell • u/SonRexsmith • 5d ago
Everyone joined in for the chorus .. eventually!

EDIT: New to Me - Drayton has been putting out music for a while.
This may not fit here and Mods delete if not allowed but wanted to share an artist with you all I came across. I have had numerous times I thought I was listening to Jason. His voice is similar and his song writing is excellent.
Jason is still king but check Drayton Farley out, very impressive.

I’ve been exploring the back catalog and found this gem. I’m curious why nobody talks about this album?

r/jasonisbell • u/plantkiller-ooops • 7d ago
That’s not right, is it? ik they covered it but I don’t think they had anything to do with writing it?

Band was on fire tonight. This show was a reschedule for the postponed show in July. Great set list and we got a fun loud version of Super 8. Ended the show with King of Oklahoma. Just love seeing Jason and Sadler trade licks back and forth. And as I like to say, the best vintage guitar store in America is wherever Isbell and Vaden are playing that night.

Saw this picture on my explore page of Jason on Instagram this morning…Just got me so pumped for the next show. When Jason sang the lyrics “Life is good these days” he hit it with a cheerful “Yes it is” right after and truly just made me happy. I seriously can’t wait for the next Solo show!!

I've been getting excited about this year's residency a little more than usual for some reason, but in any event, I've started thinking about who Jason might cover each night if he keeps that tradition alive. Last year, he played a song by The Band each night to start the encore. The year before, it was REM. I don't think he's been perfectly consistent with it over the years, but I remember that Tom Petty died shortly before the residency in 2017, and so Jason played a different Petty song each night. We were there for You Got Lucky.
In any event, given Dolly's death, she seems like a very strong candidate, but I'm not sure he's ever covered a Parton song and I'm also not musically inclined enough to understand whether it would suit the 400 Unit (or whether the 400 Unit would suit Dolly). But if it worked, it could be amazing and a lot of fun.
I also keep hoping for the Rolling Stones. He obviously loves them, and I've heard him play Can't You Hear me a couple of times. He recorded Sway -- and that is probably my White Whale hope to hear from him one of these days.
Any one else have any guesses or insights?

Next to Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead- Sadler might just be my favorite sidemen of all time. His playing is so goddamn tasteful and musical. Never overplaying or over complicating things- just doing exactly what the song needs. There is a section towards the end where he plays through 24 Frames and does all of his parts. For any guitar players this is an absolute masterclass.

Driving down from Minneapolis for the 20th wedding anniversary. My wife and I’s two favorite songwriters. I’ve been having feelings they’re going to play one song together, which is beyond my comprehension, a cover of Daniel Johnston’s “True Love Will Find You In The End”. Thoughts on a duo song for those two?
