Jason Isbell | Broken Record (Hosted by Rick Rubin)

- Опубліковано 18 тра 2020
- Jason Isbell is one of the most important Southern voices in music today. He started writing and releasing his own songs in 2007, after a stint with the Drive-By Truckers. Since then has slowly built a catalogue of songs and a resume - which includes a key songwriting contribution to Bradley Cooper's version of “A Star Is Born” - that should put him on anyone's short list of the best songwriters currently working. Isbell and Rick Rubin met for the first time just before this conversation where they discuss Isbell's recovery from addiction, his song writing process and his deep Southern roots.

Jason Isbell is the GOAT, straight up. He is what happens when your heart and mind are connected to a higher calling. what an inspiration to the world. bravo.
I could listen to these two talk for hours. Just phenomenal stuff.
I think of Jason as the James Taylor of this generation. He’s such a prolific songwriter. So inspiring. I didn’t even listen to country music before him. Now I’m hooked. So much so that it’s been all I have written for several years. The honesty in his music and lyrics are incredible. I’ve written songs simply by being inspired by interviews he’s done like this. He is my favorite songwriter these days. Thank you for sharing this.
He's got a lot of attributes of several of the greatest singer-songwriters of the 70's...JT, Kristofferson, Townes. Every album he drops is phenomenal.
Shane Carender and Springsteen , and Steve Earl.
I remember 10 or 15 years ago listening to DBT and telling my gf at the time that Jason was going to be one of the greats, up there with John Prine, Lyle Lovett, and Townes Van Zandt. She told me I was an idiot. We're not together anymore.
John Moreland is another rlly damn good one.
I've been writing and saying Jason will be a superstar....and he is getting closer and closer with each passing album. The world needs more smart intelligent heartfelt brilliant music and less autotune, dance crap and this guy is the full meal real deal. Best songwriter of this generation and going to be one of the best ever. His new album Reunions is superb..and makes five killer albums in a row. His 2013 masterpiece Southeasternis one of the best of the 21st century.
I doubt he wants to be a superstar but might happen whether he likes it or not. Love his music
He could’ve sold out and became a “super star” a long time ago. He’s been winning Grammy’s since 2013’s Southeastern.
And now Weathervanes is lovely.
Two incredibly insightful souls. Well matched in intellect and wisdom.
"i walk to the grocery store with the same level of mysticism as i do writing a song" quote knocked me out!
Rick Rubin is the Zen music master... best interview with Jason. Trust is essential.
So true
A great conversation. Rick Rubin was really tuned into what Jason had to say and offered insights about song writing that seemed to genuinely impress Jason. I enjoyed hearing two immensively talented people discuss the creative process.
Rick is the most conscious person on the planet! Love him interviewing musical people. Genius!
Rick is the best. I think I would give a vital organ to have him produce me. What an honor.
I just love the way both these guys think. I'm a huge Isbell fan so this is really cool for me to hear talk to someone like Rick, alot of this interview I've heard from passed interviews but Rick brought some new cool stuff out of Jason.
Love these interviews! Wish we could hear the music y’all are talking about in all of these!!!
I’ve always wanted to hear these 2 sit down together and discuss music as well as other issues that the 2 are into.
Jason is good people. God Bless! ISBELL, SHIRES 2020 !!!!
This so incredibly good!
Loved Jason and his songs with the Truckers always were some of my favorites. Southern Rock Opera and especially Dirty South still stand out today 12+ years later as some of my favorite records of the early 2000's. We have a lot of the same musical taste. All over the place! I was crushed when he left DBT but now the 400 unit with Jason's writing have eclipsed DBT and he keeps getting better. He is at the point now where he can put on a show and crush you start to end with strong songs that speak directly to everyone in the crowd. It's really nice to see him and Amanda on stage together and has a little bit of the Derek and Susan vibe of looking at love on stage. It's a beautiful thing to watch with them and the Trucks/Tedeschi Band. Probably my two favorite bands right now are Jason and the 400 and Trucks/Tedeschi Band. Can't wait until this is over to see them again.
He didn't play on southern rock opera
Two creators and songwriting titans just talking shop. Phenomenal stuff!
Great conversation Rick and Jason! Cheers!!
Wonderful
Repetition in a chorus adding another layer of meaning is a great insight.
jason should worry less about being constantly brilliant and just remain productive. i will always be interested in anything he does.
I always wondered about Jason. Him mentioning Garth has my questions answered
"Use that priviledge to chip away at it." (it, meaning priviledge itself). Thats a great way of thinking.
That...was...deep!
play guitar and folks will be nice to him....LOL bless his heart
The repetition... He went and wrote "What Have I Done To Help" after that bit of advice!
Repeatable refrain - ‘play me a song I’ve never heard’ …… dibs unless you beat me to the punch ❤
I mean do these guys need to make an album together or do these guys need to make an album together

yes
I think musicians who come from a family background of musical ability have it in their blood.
I agree. the pentecostal roots. music. deep thought and empathy on the original pentecosts. now a relic. of all that hell fire & damnation I endured. but it leaves something in you. Jason, Billy Ray, Eric Church. not just a radio replica of everyone else's work. Im from Mobile Bay, Alabama and I am so proud of Jason Isbell.
Also, speaking in visual art terms, phrase repetition provides a sense of unity,
I realize its not the intention with these conversations, but I really think Rick (and it feels awkward using his first name since I don't know him, but Mr Rubin sounds even sillier lol) comes across almost like a guru when talking to some folks in these. And its not just people younger than he is or in the same field coming up. Its almost the socratic method type situation - asking questions that open things up and then open another layer etc. And he does it with the insight and wisdom that other people recognize and realize they ought to be paying attention. But at the same time he's very humble and clearly isn't trying to reshape people's perspectives necessarily, but rather provide them with alternative viewpoints that are a take it or leave it as needed sort of thing.
I've really liked/respected a lot of the music he's worked on over the years, but in the last week or two since coming across the videos here on YT (still haven't heard the podcast itself, I probably need to sign up for spotify or something so that I can hear his and some others.) I've developed a lot of respect for him as a person period. As a "frustrated artist" (a writer and a not very good from a technical standpoint musician) I feel like I've picked up ideas from these myself, and I wanted to say I greatly appreciate that as well. So, thank you for what ya'll have done thuss far, and keep up the good work.
Such an inquiring, and insightful train of thought. I like the way you think. Put that into music, and you will find that mystecisism you are searching for.
How can I hear the songs he played that were cut?
Cool interview... any idea where to hear the songs that Isbell performs on here that were cut out from the UA-cam version?
If you go to the original podcast there is usually a playlist there.
wow bro can we please hear the song that was skipped at the end!!!
!??!
25:20 spot on
I really want to go to the grocery store with Jason.
And get a dozen cheap roses
Why cut the songs out?
How come the songs were cut out ?
Mark Smith ua-cam.com/video/KgSbfc2UfX4/v-deo.html
Great interview, but DOOOOD why did you cut out the tune he played for you?????
My bad I just saw the post with the song Overseas from this interview. THANK YOU!!!!
Now I get the why Cast Iron Skillet gets repeated.
18:44 its short
I wonder if he had already written "What Have I Done to Help?" when this was recorded. A "protest song" with lots of repetition!
where are the songs? eh?
Hallelujah, where are the songs? eh?
Why did they skip the songs??!!??;!!
Chance Dickerson I don’t know, but one of those “ Suggestion” white banners on the top of the video came on, suggesting JL playing for the host. So the music they cut out must be around somewhere.
Y’all put enough ads on this? Jesus. Can’t get more than a couple minutes without a god damned HBO ad.
Anybody know the name of the final song Jason played for Rick?
If I had to guess, I would think Be Over Seas
He lets his grey hair show.
A healthy ego but no vanity.
Donald Butcher I wonder if he grew it out, if his curls would still be there.
I love the this video! it is all commercials with a little bit of the interview thrown in. Horse shit video click bait
where are the songs? eh?
