This is the shit.my dad would give me a drink of whiskey before day light when wed go hunting i was a kid.im 62 now and never caused him no trouble.he said if you never have nothing have sone pride.it stoked with me.he had away with words.i miss him bad....give your kids your life.i dont have none
The band I used to play in was graced by Jason's presence at a show we were playing. I so happy and proud that I can say I played drums live with him one night and played Outfit. I have the recording!

Man... The tone of that first G chord and the little D to C riff is perfection.. Not to mention the poetry that is the lyrics. Quite a talent, quite a group. The "don't tell them you're bigger than jesus don't give it away" is a fantastic couplet..its open to interpretation and he's great at that.. I'll stop now lol 😂 I just love this tune.
And for what it's worth, among gals, Gretchen Peters has written some songs that are on a par with Isbell's, and vice-versa. (At least in my own view.) One example here ... ua-cam.com/video/17s_aJfSrrI/v-deo.html
Jason is a brilliant artist He writes from the heart, and the poetry he dresses and weaves music around is simply wonderful A rare talent and his music resonates Love this song
I like how guys like Josh Baze and these guys; Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are making a name for themselves by putting their new music on youtube. This generation is one of the best in music we've ever had.
Discovered him when he was with DBT and went to many shows. It wasn't until after he left that I realized that every DBT song that I loved was one that he had written. For me, he was the creative force behind that band. Now I have to say I go to way more Jason Isbell shows than I do DBT.
@@jhzab666l I was friends with a drive-by truckers when Jason was still in the band.. He was still married to the bassist an all was still good. I will admit that Jason Isabell had a lotta good songs but I actually liked about as many Cooley songs as I did his. I’m not taking anything away from Jason. I watched him get skinny I watched him divorce his wife and move away from the drive-by truckers and that’s life man we all go through that kind of shit he’s not a bad guy and he’s a super talented songwriter. I still think that about that magical time he was in the drive-by truckers..it helped make him into the man he is now. I’m sure he might have his own opinions on that matter. I thought it was interesting that the next time I saw him, after his days with the D,rive by Truckers, was playing with Widespread Panic. He whe was playing an es-335 and seemed really happy. I glad he found his way because he deserves it very talented songwriter with good taste in guitars. Next time you come over Jason I’ll let you play my Santa Cruz if you’ll bring that old Les Paul....lol... I just want to know I found a whole new refuge in your work.
Cooley and Hood are both excellent songwriters and performers. DBT was excellent before Jason and are still excellent without him. Jason is great, but so is DBT.
Lyrics are lyrics but the ability to use tones in timing is heaven sent . Why it’s so pleasing and almost addicting where you don’t get tired of it has to do with the mind. What is important to the mind for improving and healing .?
@jasonisbell going through some storms right now. I was 16 with my first born. I feel your gratitude and pain and love in this song. I have written a song response to this from my perspective to my son by him just being born by far was a gift I didn’t know I needed as I write this your guitar solo is on and I feel you and my son 😢 thank you for making me feel it from his pov. I’m living in Nashville and moving back to Colorado on 9/11/23 so if you get this would love for you to hear my words. God bless you Jason Michael ❤
Jason wrote this song when he was with the Drive By Truckers. It is his song. His current band for many years is the 400 Unit. I only discovered him apart from the Truckers pretty recently and it turns out that my favorite Truckers songs were his compositions.
That Deuzy is awesome too. Wish he was still bringing it out. He's not been playing it lately, but they just keep getting better and better. Just saw him at Fox Oakland and wow. Spectacular!!!
Just saw him a couple of weeks ago in Germany and he doesn't have it at all. He does have an awesome 3 pickup LP Custom in Wine Red I had never seen, that was nice and he had the red eye les Paul, but I somehow wanted to hear the Duesenberg.
I find it funny he preaches about human rights, lgbtq, all that woke liberal socialist nonsense.....as he plays a 10 million dollar guitar. Good for you, capitalism a free market economy and tradition of "we the people" bought you that guitar. So instead of preaching about equity, play your guitar, write yoyr songs, you can buy more 10 million dollar guitars. Sound good to yall?

Epic brother ....
Jason is epic. Amazing you played with him. I would love to hear it.
Was he nice or a jerk?

It's a short list of guys whose music feels more real than Jason Isbell's.
brspo1987 amen 2 that 100% real
who's on the list?

Agreed. I don’t think there’s anyone I’d put ahead but definitely a couple I’d put on his level. Either way few things ring truer than those words
Amen
That's what we call perfect guitar tone right there. Absolutely beautiful and flawless tone driving a brilliant song
We played this song at our wedding. Thank you for being a part of our wonderful memories
Such a powerful song on so many levels.
"...don't let 'em take who you are, boy, and don't try to be who you ain't..."
Fucking amazing.
Jason is a brilliant artist
He writes from the heart, and the poetry he dresses and weaves music around is simply wonderful
A rare talent and his music resonates
Love this song
That boy can SANG
I like how guys like Josh Baze and these guys; Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are making a name for themselves by putting their new music on youtube. This generation is one of the best in music we've ever had.
One of my fav sights is Jason Isbell playing that yellow guitar.

beverly37620 Jason stuff is awesome, I mean Drive By Truckers are okay, but the songs he wrote and performed and all his solo stuff just tops It Off.

This song was my intro to this whole genre of incredible country but not pop country music thank you so much
Always was just amazed of the prophets lyrics but lately enjoy his guitar playing . I think he just gets better and better on the fret
Grinding the gears
It's crazy that there are people who have the same interest as you Jason is such a gift

I can’t stop going back to this song… he is definitely one of those unforgettable/irreplaceable artist’s
This song means so much to me, thanks jason
Can't get enough of this. Slept on DBT for way to long.
Chris Knight also another great story teller song writer not recognized enough.
Jimbo! :) look at that suit y'all are great.
Jason Isbell, nice content I loved it
How can people dislike
Thank you so much for covering this song. One of my good friends who passed away introduced me to this song about 14 years ago and I just found it! 🙏
Jason wrote this song when he was with the Drive By Truckers. It is his song. His current band for many years is the 400 Unit. I only discovered him apart from the Truckers pretty recently and it turns out that my favorite Truckers songs were his compositions.
Shot at WorkPlay in Birmingham. Great show.
Wow my new favorite song the lyrics amazing the riffs and the 400s expressions while singing with…
That Deuzy is awesome too. Wish he was still bringing it out. He's not been playing it lately, but they just keep getting better and better. Just saw him at Fox Oakland and wow. Spectacular!!!

Are there any bad Jason Isbell songs? I have yet to hear any of his stuff that isn't tremendously great!
There’s one. Someday I swear I’ll find it.
Love your style
I like it.
Smashingly wonderful!
I'm "lost for words" at how familiar sounding this song is...Does Polly Samson get a writing credit?
I wasn't actually sure if he wrote this one... it seem very Patterson Hood-ish..
I see what you're saying but nope, pure Isbell, down to the father's real job. Very DBTs... "the dirty south"
I thought this was a Cooley song
Cognition
Fake British Accent...lol which one would that be then..great stuff..
Albert's daughter?
I find it funny he preaches about human rights, lgbtq, all that woke liberal socialist nonsense.....as he plays a 10 million dollar guitar.

yeah, shut up.
