    According to Steve Albini, who recorded this version of the song, everything you're hearing here was recorded live, 12 musicians all in the same room, completely unrehearsed and they just kept it this way with all the blemishes, this was very deliberately unpolished.

      Yeah, sometimes I like Albini and sometimes I don't. I think he did a great job on this song. I forgot to mention him during the reaction.

    His lyrics are that of a prophet's vision. One of my very favorite songs from a favorite singer/songwriter. We saw him twice live and had a chance to talk to him. very nice and down to earth. He is still sorely missed .

      I met him in San Diego when he was touring for the album. Had a great conversation with him about making songs, we were lucky enough to be the opening band at the show. He was a very nice down to Earth guy with amazing skills as a songwriter.

    Man I really wish I could have heard him live, too bad I learned of him only after his passing. He performed in Belgrade of all places in 2005, I was like 10 at the time. It's fascinating that I never would have guessed him even knowing about my country's existence let alone playing here.

    The algorithm masters floated this up to me just yesterday. (probably related to the passing of Steve Albini). Never heard of the song before, nor Jason. Now the poetry and mood of the performance are locked in my brain forever. Funny how that works. This kind of artistic directness is hard to duplicate.

    • @wallbangerreactions

      Yes, there is some kind of algorithm going on as views have spiked on this reaction. Like your comments. Thanks.

    That’s Mike ‘slo mo’ Brenner on lap steel. One of the best around. As others have pointed out, this was the first take. I’m not sure that the other band members had even heard it, maybe just the chord changes? Jason was a force of nature, and you hear it right here in this song.

    Just stumbled across your videos mate! I love how you let the tunes play out and pause sparingly. Something that alot of reaction videos lack.
    You should look into the work of David Berman of silver jews. Definitely a band that floats in the same melancholic, introspective areas as jason molina and sun kil moon. 'trains across the sea' on their debut album 'Starlite walker' is an incredible track that puts me into a reflective state almost every time I playback. Id highly recommend.
    Keep the videos coming :)

    • @wallbangerreactions
      @wallbangerreactions  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Firstly, many of my older reactions are paused once or twice to prevent copyright blocking, but now I'm letting the videos run and taking my chances. Thank you for the feedback.
      Secondly, I owned Bright Flight for years and sold it before moving to Mexico. Great music and writing, though the singer can be way off pitch sometimes. That detracts, I think.

    i wish i had been old enough to appreciate him while he was still alive. it stings a bit listening to his records, especially this one because it feels like his requiem since he’s been dead for 11 years.

      Well, I guess that's true. Same for me. I would have loved to have seen Bob Marley.

    you have to listen to this song or album at least once before you die. it's a rule i've established after i heard it for the first time. just know life has peaked once you've heard this mr wallbanger.

    I found this album last year when Jason Isbell posted about it on Twitter.
    "Real truth about it is, no one gets it right. Real truth about it is, we're all supposed to try"
    That's really the whole thing, isn't it?

    I think Axxess and Ace is his best work, but this album comes close for sure. You should listen to some stuff of Axxess and Ace for sure, like How to be Perfect Men. If anyone succeeds you / This will be her song to know that / I will get it wrong.
