I know I'm late to this album. Didn't like the video at all, but now that I'm just listening to the music I think it is a fantastic album. Have his live in Alabama album (with the 400 Unit) as well and really enjoy it.

One of Ryan Adams last tweet, he said that wish he could write strong songs like Jason Isbell.

Isbell's Southeastern is really very good and emotional album, includes songs with personal stories and strong lyrics...

I just don't listen to Wilco, Jason Isbell, Patterson Hood, or Drive-by Truckers. There are plenty of other bands I like. I am a permanent member of the Son Volt cult--always #1 in my book, no matter the changes in personnel. Jay's voice is my favorite, too.
There are a million great guitarists. I guess Spencer is one of them.

Patterson Hood's voice really gets on my nerves, really. Why are you hmmmming? I can't be the only Wilco hater on this board.
Funny you should say that, as I've heard that critique of Jay's music on more than one occasion. Of course, I disagree with both assessments, but that's what makes life interesting.

Other than, say, ouzhenyang, and maybe Mark Kozelek, I've never heard of such Wilco hating.

Jason Isbell's solo material is hit or miss. Southeastern is very generic-sounding & boring to my ears.

1/2 has me intrigued with Southwestern. Sounds a bit grittier and more interesting than Southeastern. Did Mark Spencer play on it? I hear that guy is the best.

Patterson Hood's solo material is top-notch. His last 2 releases, Murdering Oscar & Heat Lightning Rumbles in the Distance, are excellent, especially the former.

turpentim is rapidly approaching spam bot status.

How 'bout The Cards fuckin' Jay over again & not inviting him to sing "The Star Spangled Banner" or "America the Beautiful" this fall?

Hate Wilco? Hmmmm.
Nice post. Thanks for sharing.

In all seriousness, what would we do without your insight? We are all so lucky to have you.
