Wow. Mad respect for Jason Isbell after reading this.
Forums:
I got a wake up call. Time to delve into this man's music a bit more. Great article, pretty long.

Was a bigger fan when he was with the Driveby Truckers. A lot of whiney little bitch stuff lately.

Disagree. A ton more depth
Disagree. A ton more depth since he left Truckers.
Nice to see him not sweating whiskey and nicotine every time he's on camera, too.

The truckers were never
The truckers were never before and have never since been better (live, at least) than they were with jason in the band. And shonna too for that matter. But that's just my opinion.
which is really an indictment of his remarkable talent even when he was wasted and buried three guitars deep in the mix
But this isn't really about that
It's just about him recognizing and leveraging his privilege to hold space for other musicians who probably wouldn't ever get the chance.
