It occurs to me that, in addition to being an outstanding musician at the height of his powers, Jason Isbell is one of the most rewarding interviewees to listen to. He's smart, eloquent, thoughtful, and has a great sense of humor.
I've been burning through Isbell interviews and am thinking about how much I'd love if he started a podcast about songwriting. Of course he may not have any interest in doing that but i'd listen to every second if he did haha
I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Gerald Maximiliano thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
0:00 - 3:15 - Why it's 'Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit' now, not just 'Jason Isbell'. 3:15 - 6:45 - His childhood playing music at home, how much he plays socially now, doing what you love. 6:45 - 8:45 - The two schools of songwriting, his editing process. 8:45 - 10:36 - Avoiding yes men and how to take criticism. 10:36 - 12:14 - Work ethic and David Hood's advice. 12:14 - 13:11 - "Most people won't learn"; sobriety and success in music. 13:11 - 17:42 - White Man's World, new conversations we haven't had in the past, "I used to think I started with nothing and I was wrong", the idea of "self made", group think. 17:42 - 18:55 - The South and North are the same, though urban and rural are different. 18:56 - 19:48 - An obligation to make a difference, becomes he's a father. 19:48 - 12:30 - Steve Earle, nuance of the cowardice in Nashville 22:30 - 24:34 - What keeps you hopeful? 24:34 - 'Anxiety' and why it's the only song he's ever co-written.
It is about listening and finding that gift God gave you, and live in that. You will know it by the way you feel when you do it and when you aren’t, you aren’t “right” in your world. That is your gift and it doesn’t feel like work, it is more like getting your needs met. People who live this way are successful no matter what others think.
It is too bad that this interviewer wasted so much time on SJW stuff. It is getting so tiresome how Canadian journalists have to inject this into everything. Isbell is an amazing talent that I am sure has much else to say that would be interesting.
Shuttt uppp lmao, musicians are fully allowed to use their platform. If content around social issues makes you uncomfortable, perhaps you should access the source of that discomfort.
@@Birbdup Of course they are. However, this whole SJW/woke thing has become a religion or to many is merely a fashion statement. Either way, it has become very, very tedious.

Couldn't have said it better. Thanks so much for watching!

Isbell is as good as it gets these days. He will go down as the greatest songwriter of this time. Sounds like a lot but it's true
Matthew Mulkey ...easy to trace the great Songwriter line from Bob Dylan to John Prine right on down to Jason Isbell...
Don’t forget Ryan Adams

Jason is an unbelievable talent and even better person. He's certainly one if not the best going!!

Great interview. Started a bit slow but really hit its stride. Isbell is a gem.
8:30 This part is very important. Jason Isbell is one of the best songwriters today.
Very very good interview...Jason is a deep thinker and puts sensitive issues out on the air with an amazing realistic human perspective.....
this interview is gold
Tom is such an awesome interviewer
Big thanks to Amanda for reading Jason the riot act and helping him get focused. Thanks to Jason for listening.
He got the shivers lol dayum

I love Amanda but I am becoming a Jason fan
I miss Jason, do y’all know what I mean then?
Not the 400 unit, and the 400 unit. Ha..
Middle of the Morning “is not great; you can do better.”
Man, Tom annoys me. I don't even know why.

Jason is very passionate about discussing social justice issues. Hence White Man’s World and Be Afraid and the everything else about him.
