Whose all down tonight???

I will be at the Nola and Hattiesburg shows, that's my old stomping grounds and I got family all over that area

That's why it's just like my opinion man. I didn't say it's a definitive and everyone needs to agree with me on this thing. English Ocean to me is their 3rd best album and I didn't mean to ruffle any body's feathers by having that opinion or explaining why I like it.

To me without a doubt it's their strongest album since Decoration Day, front to back without absolutely no filler. The dreaded F-word again. I seem to remember TC covering this already, but once again: a band such as DBT has no filler. Why would they? Filler is for bands with singles, in the tradit...

Perfect Sunday morning record. Probably my 2nd most listened t...

Tom Waits married some crazy chick and it redefined his career. He went from being poor mans Billy Joel to Fucking Tom Waits.

In my humble (true) opinion :D , English Oceans is their best album. Love everything about it, the incredible songwriting, the alternating sequencing, the immediacy of the sound, the rawness, the production, etc., etc. To me without a doubt it's their strongest album since Decoration Day, front to ...

Going to go ahead and do this


1. Southern Rock Opera
2. Decoration Day
3. English Oceans
4. The Dirty South
5. Brighter than Creation Dark

Based on everything I've read in this thread. This album has to be the most polarizing release of Isbell's career and I have such low expectations for it now.

I've yet to hear it besides the single.

"I just listened to a full nine seconds of this and I can assure you it isn't AOTY material."


I just laughed my ass off at this comment

TC I was actually about to comment on how much I love We've Met and Hurricanes.. Hurricanes especially because I grew up in New Orleans.

Not every song needs to be mind blowing amazing to connect in the heart of a listener

We are too Row F 13 and 14.

What are the odds of that?

Nice we will be in the front section 102, if you see me feel free to say Hey!

My favorite recent moment:

I could totally see Jason Isbell also hitting a Civil Wars vein and just doing albums with him and Shires playing together and acoustic, leaving the band behind. Not that I want that to happen, but if he sticks on the "elephant" route- it's feasible. That'd be nice for an album, maybe, but contempl...

I've never been to the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater but have been to the Wharf in Orange Beach. There isn't really a bad seat in the house and parking is super easy.

Those that attended the show-

What was the crowd response to DBT especially the younger crowd that's usually at Hangout?

I'm a big punk fan, listen and enjoy my fare share of RAW sounding music and production but I don't understand letting a "clean, shiny, and polished sound" ruin my appreciation for a album, band or artist. I've seen this happen a lot with bands like Alabama Shakes, Avett Brothers, My Morning Jacket...

I don't understand this at all Clamster. What does JI's career trajectory and 3DDr's opinions of the production have to do with each other? It just means that you guys can take all the shots you want at the production, but the record has done pretty damn well for Jason. There's no question that the...

Jason Isbell is so over with folks people yell for Outfit at DBT shows, and flooded Zac Brown's social media when he didn't credit Isbell for covering Dress Blues.. SouthEastern has taken Isbell out of a sub genre and put him into this new world where NPR is doing stories on him and he's landed a fe...

I think John Moreland is a hell of a songwriter, but he hasn't written anything on par with the following: Outfit Elephant Decoration Day Dress Blues He's written a bunch of songs that are damn close though With the exception of Elephant we've had years to put the other 3 songs you've mention into ...

Want to add on to the John Moreland praise TC..


For every one of the outstanding Isbell Elephantesque songs. John Moreland has 10 of them. Seeing Moreland perform those songs in a bar like The Nick in BHAM is gut wrenching, I've seen women and a few guys crying into their beers when watching him.

Just got my tickets 6th Row in the front..


Tickets aren't on sale with Ticketmaster until Thursday, but are available now through Shakes Website

I think Cobb's production is too safe and T-Boneish NPR-ified perfect The masses (including myself) disagree. His career has gone nothing but up since Southeastern came out. Awards and acclaim, he's moved up to bigger venues (and selling them out), profiled in the NY Times Magazine, etc. I know you...

It's definitely growing on me, but the production/musicality is the weak point. Still think Ryan Adams would've done a better job producing Southeastern & SMTF. Are you high? Dave Cobb is amazing at what he does. His production credits over the years are some of my favorite recent albums. I'd take ...

Anybody know when there will be renewed stock on the DBT website I've been wanting to get a shirt but can't find any Large ones.

I'm already down For Tuscaloosa!
