One of the great things about this site is sometimes hearing about new things. I had never heard of Jason Isbell before, I like all kinds of music, from Van Halen(both Sammy & Dave) to Metallica to James Taylor to old school R&B. I just looked up Jason Isbell and listened to some stuff on his site and actually liked it a lot. It's something a little different to hear than the norm. I will go on itunes and buy a few things. And I'm with you guys, I could not imagine ever not listening to music. It's part of my everyday life.

There's others I'll listen to from time to time and enjoy, but not really anything substantial. I think it's more a matter of me just not liking music. Most people get something out of it, but to me it's just noise for the most part.

 

I don't really care for it all that much myself. I like to listen to the beats but most the words in any song these days are just a bunch of garbage.I listen to talk radio 98% of the time in the car and only other time I listen to music is to get me going at the gym. I've never been to a concert either. I am sure that will shock a lot of you. I just don't really like any artist enough to listen to 20 of their songs. I do listen to Pandora every now and then at work.

Outside of my family, if I didn't have music I wouldn't be worth a heck of a lot.

I'm starting to realize what is wrong with you two.

Glad you liked him. His latest album Here We Rest is a great place to start. I'd recommend buying the whole thing.

 

Also, for three albums Isbell was a member of the Drive-By Truckers. The albums and Isbell penned songs are:

 

Decoration Day - "Outfit", "Decoration Day"

The Dirty South - "The Day John Henry Died", "Danko/Manuel", "Never Gonna Change", "Goddang Lonely Love"

A Blessing and a Curse - "Easy on Yourself", "Daylight"

 

Two Isbell songs appear on a compilation album:

The Fine Print: A Collection of Oddities and Rarities - "TVA", "When The Well Runs Dry"

 

You might want to give them a listen too.

I'm with you and am completely sincere.

 

I'll third that. I'd die without music.

Thanks, I did not know he was in DBT either. I seen them with Petty in Cincinnati in 2010 and really liked them a lot. Knew nothing about them when we went to the show, went home and bought some songs the next day. I will check everything out you mentioned.

Seven Mary Three was playing on St Patrick's day in Cincy about three or four years ago. I wanted to go to that real bad, needless to say I didn't make it there. I'd kill to have that opportunity again. I don't think this band will ever tour again.

They went and made this something I'm thinking about going to see. I also heard Neko Case would be there.

 

Jim, you still need that assistant?

:lol: I knew they'd get you. :lol:

Truthfully, it boils down to this. I can't go to JTE's show in Nashville and not really ok with the idea of going a whole calendar year without seeing him live (especially with a new album). For $49.50 on his day I'll more than likely be there. Not sure about buying a ticket for the whole thing, I'll need to more closely inspect the schedule.

Maybe it's just me, but $144.50 doesn't seem like a bad deal for a whole weekend of concerts.

There are a number of these I'm very intrigued by. Looks like my decision has been made.

I'm thinking I'll likely be going. FWIW...if you're planning on going, Wye Oak is not to be missed.
