It is sad our favorite artists continually write songs about something they should never have to talk about in the first place. This DBT one destroys me as well.

Dori Freeman is great, and it looks as though the cat is out of the bag on Jeffrey Martin. He's amazing.The Best Country Music on Bandcamp: November 2023

Fascinating. I don't know that I've come across her before... I wonder if she moved to Cumberland after I left. I've known her bass player for years, though. And the drummer on her album was in a band with friends of mine some years back (I actually wrote the liner notes for their album.) Will definitely have to give this a listen!

A lot of stuff to look into here between the list and the comments. Starting with The Wilder Blue, didn’t realize they released a new one 2 weeks ago.

There is not very much NOT to love about all of Isbells output. I'm stuck on Reunions right now. Keeps getting better!

Just saw the news about Joshua Ray Walker. Good he’s got some answers, great that there’s a new album coming, but man. Hope he gets through this crap. Once more: cancer sucks.

Now spinning: Reunions
Jason Isbell is most likely the closest to 'country' that I'll ever get, but his entire catalog is stellar. This is my favorite release of his.

What did you think of Weathervanes?

I listened to it twice the week I got it and then let my daughter borrow it. I need to get it back and spin it a few more times. There was nothing that I didn't like, but it didn't set its hooks into me the first time through like Southeastern and Reunions did. The very first time I played Reunions the hook was set.

Not for nothing Isbell is country… everything that says he not is basically marketing because he is not a favored son of Nashville.
