I would have liked to hear Little Wing. They played Hear Me Knocking (Stones) on Wed, it ripped!

Different strokes...I'm a big fan of Amanda. Love her timbre!
"Vampires" under the full moon, with her harmonies, on a perfect Red Rocks spring evening...10/10.
Fully agreed, that was amazing, and I had my arm around my wife.
Now that does sound like fun. I saw them in a crappy old venue here in Clearwater. Still a great show, but I think they would be much more fun somewhere else. Song pacing did feel like they just were running through a catalog.Quote:

In a drift, anyone been hipped to a guy named Ariel Posen? A little slicker than Isbell but still in the Americana vein. Heavy duty slide player/singer/songwriter. Just bought Tickets for a couple if October shows in SEA and Vancouver BC. $22.00.
Based on your recc, I put on the ‘This is Ariel Posen’ playlist on Spotify. I didn’t get any Jason Isbell cross over at all. No storytelling, no down home vibes, etc. It was kind of vanilla/John Mayer until a time named Angeline came on and the guitar name caught my ear. So I guess, just like John Mayer. [emoji846]Quote:

One of the better DBT/Isbell covers I've heard, and I've heard a few...Quote:

Been about 10 years since I saw them with American Aquarium at Grammercy Theater and both lead singers, Evan and BJ, were off the rails and both got sober not long after...
But I always did like Kinney in Drivin and crying.
Funny Sadler Vaden their guitarist plays for Isbells band now
I got into Kevn via his solo work, specifically MacDougal Blues, which is one of my all-time favorite albums.
Some of his other solo work, such as The Flower & the Knife and Broken Hearts and Auto Parts, are also solid and most definitely fall into that folk and Americana vibe.
Thanks will check it out based on my D & C love and your always solid recommendationsQuote:

Jason writes whats around him, its a dark time
Absolutely.

love everything about this.
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)Quote:

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
Good g-d damn. This is sickter squared.

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.Quote:

The standouts to me are King Of Oklahoma, This Ain’t It, When We We’re Close, and Middle Of the Morning. Curiously, the most played track, Death Wish, is weaker melodically (and as a solo vehicle) than those others.
Still getting to really know Strawberry Woman, White Berretta, and Save The World, they are the weaker cuts.
Cast Iron Skillet is a little too obvious, but musically has some density.
Check out where they are taking this (magic starts about 4:20 in), and listen to the lyrics.
I'm so bummed I couldn't get to see them up here in this round.
Curiously, I was actually a little disappointed in the shows I saw in March and May. Since Mid June they have been straight fire, even with Jimbo sidelined. I still wish Derry did a shitton more than just atmospherics.
If I ever find Jesus, I'm kickin' his ass!Quote:

Sadler and Jason were having so much fun trading guitar licks and Sadler owned HIS song Honeysuckle Blue. Jason and the Cap are both always solid and together. I was blown awayand seen a lot of both over the years.
SG Goodman brought a full 5 piece including pedal steell to open and was rad
JFC.
That’s a ridiculous setlist.
I hope this tour is being considered for a complete live album.
Jimbo is taking a stress relief break of some kind. Touring was affecting his mental health. In true Isbell fashion, this was all disclosed openly, and encouraged by everyone in the band. Apparently he is playing with some bands locally at home.Quote:
