Same here. He's the reason I'm out doing covers of his music getting through a divorce, loss of my kid brother, mother and father in the last five years. Somehow a man I've never met has put down my thoughts in his songs except he's added advice on how to get through. I'll never be able to thank him.
@@bricecrist I know your pain brother, I lost my wife of forty years on Christmas Eve 2016, and my compadre and best friend growing up since we were 8 yrs old nine months later. Jason's "If we were vampires," and "Elephant" shred my heart. Peace to you.
Besides the awesome songwriting and musicality of Jason Isbell, this was an extremely high quality produced video. The camera work created such a closeup and intimate view of a singer/songwriter at the top of his craft. The sound mix between the voice and guitar was simply superb, and it overall presents a minimalist music production at its very best. Kudos to Findspire Studio - I will subscribed right now.
Shit, it's like we got in a time machine back to early Jason Isbell and he is singing to a half empty bar of people but above the din of all the chatter and dishware clanging you could hear his voice , his words, his song and slowly became mesmerized by it. Well that's how this video felt to me. Sooooo good. It's like I just realized I've really missed Jason Isbell. Damn good! thanks!!
Your comment took me to this imaginary bar in your head. I feel it too! Seeing him for the first time in Red Rocks, CO next month. Great songwriter. *cheers*
I’m there too and I’m hammered drunk! Hopefully won’t have to go into that stank bathroom because of him playing one of his songs that make this Georgia man cry.
I often come back to Jason's performances like this. His songwriting is impeccable. He is like no other. I highly recommend seeing him in concert as well if you ever have the chance. He puts on a great show.
Love everything about Jason. Someone else here said his music is their medicine. Mine too. His principles and the courage to stand on them are as great as his music.
This is the best version of all of these songs. Great production and sound crew and video crew kicked ass!! Oh yeah Jason brought it like the master musician he is!!
How this only has about 1,000 views? As someone who’s listened to just about every live video of Isbell on UA-cam… this cracks the top 5 Get this to the masses! I felt all the emotions during this performance.
Because he isnt that good. I'm only here because upchurch mentioned him. Been listening to his stuff for 30 or so mins. Not saying I could do better and props to him for living his dream but eh.
His voice sucks its why hes still a nobody crying about other country singers actions. Garbage voice from a garbage soul. At least he didn't lie he's lucky to have the work.
@@arthurdietrich What part of my comment is feeling based? I realize you added him to your playlist and that's cool, I'm not judging you for your homosexual based Isbel man crush. I get it, he sucks, you suck, and the snowflake in you can't stand to hear your mans criticized, but facts are facts. Ya boy can't sing as well as he cries... change my mind. Let's go Brandon.
Several comments badmouthing a musician that can write incredible music and play his instrument while sticking up for another guy really can’t do either, Merica🤘
I started listening to his music about a month ago. I can’t get enough. He has a huge library. I pretty good at seeing how things turn out my guess his songs are going to become treasures and he will be known by all song writers. His stuff is amazing
Awesome stuff Jason, thank you Findspire. I think this video and all other live studio recordings could seriously increase their views by not only panning shots from face to strum but also pulling focus on the chords/notes a musician is playing on guitar or keys at times. A huge percent of live music on UA-cam is watched by musicians at home in order to see how they play etc. Thanks again!
This is the best solo Isbell acoustic that i could find of this specific song. It needs titled properly! Please put the name of the song in the title(The Life you Chose)
I bet it sucks for the weird ass conservatives that actually enjoy his AMAZING music but have to pretend they don’t because of a “political stance” or something jason said about Morgan . Y’all are a bunch of children . Anyway Jason’s voice is literally gorgeous .
I’m a “weird ass conservative…and I’ll declare to anybody, my appreciation for Jason Isbell. No, I’m not a fan of his politics…or of the few choice vulgarities in his lyrics, but I’d pretty much rather than listen to his music than anybodys. I hear the man, and his songs…not the other things that aren’t important.
@@JoelWende He hurts my ears, someone has to be honest to this poor guy. I listened to the whole thing. Woke is a disease that festers and is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. This performer is woke, and I’m sure he is proud of that.
@@dakkoday3694 Whatever you believe is a disease that clearly festers inside your mind and causes you to think so divisively. This is just a musician and his songs. You're the one not giving his songs a chance because of your belief of what his point of view is. Aren't we all entitled to our own opinions?
@@dxzxax8772 this was recommended to me based on my the UA-cam algorithm. I simply do not like this passionate mans music and message. And I understand he is acclaimed and such, but I just added in a jest about his belief in SJW’ism. Otherwise he is lacking vocally and needs training, thus his actual “Music” no matter the message is unappealing to me. Glad 🙂 you like it and Merry Christmas.
Good Lord, this man can pour it all out. One of the best songwriters of our generation.
The best*
I doesn't matter how many times you hear these tracks they keep getting better 👌
Damn. This is exactly why I fell in love with Jason’s music many moons ago. Absolutely fantastic.
I’ve been listening to Jason Isbell for ten years and I’m still consistently blown away by just how brilliant he is.
He's the best. He's my medicine.
Same here. He's the reason I'm out doing covers of his music getting through a divorce, loss of my kid brother, mother and father in the last five years.

A hidden gem, glad I got to be one of the first 830 to see it.
It’s my entire life wrapped up in beautiful harmony and melody ❤
On a cold rainy day, this small acoustic set was amazing to listen to.

@louieo.blevinsmusic4197 it's clear to me no one shits with dignity 😂
One of the most under rated artist of our time. Love his music!
I am not sure he is under rated. More like under exposed, which is kind of okay ;-)
A fantastic showcase for his songwriting, voice, and solo guitar ability. Hope he will release a ‘stripped’ album one day
I hope so too! Southeastern is a primarily stripped down acoustic-driven album - check it out if you haven’t before!
@@kroppinator whole album is golden
@@heidihudgins4793 yup, he didn’t miss on a single track on Southeatern.
gorgeous. thanks for this stripped down, close up moment. so thankful you and your gift exist in this place and time.
Never fails to give me goose bumps!!! What a writer, what an artist!!!!!!!
This is so damn good, pure talent.
One of the best ever. Isbell is a real man.
And he doesn’t know what that even means!
This was simply amazing
We are so lucky to have this guy making music
Jason Isbell is amazing - just Jason as his guitar - love it!

What a turd.
@@danhill5843 seems like Jason hurt you in your feelings. It’ll be ok.

Going to see him live in Nashville Oct 2022. Lyrics and music…beautiful.
Fantastic. Thanks for posting.

Genius songwriting
Great performance!
Merci.
Damn, an American Treasure for sure. This man deserves his own genre, nevermind the Americana vs. Country crap.

@@terrydavis8957 You are officially my new favorite “weird ass conservative” . ❤️🩹
@@terrydavis8957 very important distinction!
I hate it when you can't see the chords. Tell you what? I won't watch and I'll vote down.
Nice commy hat
I bet Morgan wallen would make this song sound better…
Is better the new word for complete and utter dog shit?
once he makes parole
This sucks
Don’t talk about you’re life like that Skylar. I’m sure it’ll get better!
Yeah, Skylar. Sticks can easily be removed nowadays!
This is woke garbage and a bit pitchy Dawg. Please stop ✋🏻
Take it to the Fox channel. You can keep your oath to the Insurrectionists there leave proper music lovers to it. Thanks for the thoughts though.
There’s literally nothing specifically woke in any of these song selections. Someone’s commenting without listening!
