For as much as I think Cast Iron Skillet is drivel, the rest of the Weathervane album is damn fine. Yes it’s generally dark - particularly Save the World, King of Oklahoma, and Miles - but that’s the world these days. The imagery is real and the tunes are enjoyable to listen to.

I listened to When We Were Close Again. Both an ode to and a lament for Justin Townes Earle. Sad.

Yeah, the album is really growing on me. Starting to hear some extended jams between Slader and Jason of Death Wish, Middle of The Morning, and This Ain’t It that are insane. These songs will develop into concert staples. Some are a little too obvious (Cast Iron Skillet, White Beretta), and I few haven’t totally grabbed me yet, but I have a feeling they will.

this all day. Loving the album much more than the early release stuff ( although Middle of the morning is an Isbell fav for this Isbell fan of 15 Plus years)

Jason's tribute to Justin Townes Earle is flooring me.

Especially the way he weaves in references to his dad's and his namesakes' songs


I got into JTE not long after Jason and can imagine they were kindred souls in many good and bad ways.

WOrth your time as is JTE's Saint of Lost Cause and more

As a big Trucker's fan from Mojo XM days, I've tried and I've tried a lot. Jason Isbell is massively talented but it's not my thing. Maybe I don't drink enough, haven't been around enough hardcore addition or get sad enough? Maybe it's folk music and I just don't like that?

I'm headed to the dillon show with a friend
prefer gangster rap but sometimes I just go along for the ride

There is definitely something to that. Being 13+ years sober, and having nearly destroyed my life, I connect to the lyrics more than many. However, his other songwriting, both musically and lyrically, is without peer. I would prefer in concert if he only did maximum three tear-jerkers, as he is SO capable of face-melting solos with Sadler as well.

Can anyone use Turnpike Troubadour tickets Tuesday night in NYC?
Bought when they went on sale but now
I need to be in Boston for work.

That’s a hot ticket this summer ^ wish I could
