As a NW Alabama native, just like Jason (who I used to see play at a Mexican restaurant called LaFonda's way back when) I'm just happy to hear someone pronounce his last name correctly. Is-bull :)
When I first stumbled across his music I was at the lowest point of my life up to that time. So many of his songs felt like they were talking straight to me. Love, loss, work. With Weathervanes that has still been the same. Among the greatest lyricist and songwriters as far as I am concerned
This guy has ‘reach’ that might not be fully appreciated on your side of the pond. His writing is so universal, he has created a significant following in the UK & Europe.
I would trade you Springsteen, and Young, plus any other songwriter of your choosing, just to keep Jason Isbell. I'm from the same place his people are from; we may even be kin. I like to think so. Sometimes a man IS appreciated in his own country, be he prophet or otherwise.
I don't think he would appreciate that trade. Music is like scholarship - it builds on itself and the greatest musicians create chords that echo across generations. Without Young and Springsteen, there is no Isbell.@@MelissaThompson432
As a huge fan of the Drive-By-Truckers, I have been listening to Jason Isbell for at least twenty years. One of THE BEST song-writers and guitar players of all time. I have seen the 400 Unit around 7 times and these guys are absolutely incredible live. His awards are very well deserved.
@@seanbrockest3888 While this would've certainly been the case a couple of years ago... I doubt that life is still as simple as that!

Country music is having a resurgence of talented singer songwriters like Sturgill Simpson, Ryan Bingham, Tyler Childers, Margo Price, and Colter Wall and others. The problem is you won’t find them on the radio. The record labels have been destroying originality for half a century.
"If We Were Vampires" as well as "Elephant" are 2 of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard. Absolute gut-punches. When he wrote these, people were already saying he may be the best song-writer of the century so far. This guy is very VERY special.
If Faulkner was a modern day songwriter, he'd be JASON ISBELL! His southern gothic, sociological siren songs stop this old southerner in her tracks!! He's just BRILLIANT!! ❤❤
Jason is in rarified company. Leonard Cohen comes to mind; not a stretch to call-up Rainer Maria Rilke. These rivers run deep. We are blessed to have this man in his prime. ❤️
@@nelsonlugo45 that's so great they played together - with this great storytelling i was thinking of John Never heard of Jason before - stoked to have a new artist to explore
I love this show so much, and Jason you're beautiful, can I maybe please request as a long time watcher to alter the intro and outro audio to be lvled at the same volume as the rest of the video? I was so chill from Jason's mood, then "DUH DADADADA." I don't need my coffee now. It's a waste. lol. I'll keep watching of course even if y'all don't find the time, I just wanted to give some constrictive criticism.
I've always washed my skillets. You just have to fully dry them and occasionally wipe them with oil and heat it up. I _don't,_ however, walk where I can't see my feet. Can't do it. Especially in water. But also in tall grass. Mice like tall grass. Snakes like mice.
That's part of the point of the song. Back in the day, lye soap would ruin cast iron, but modern dish soap is fine. It's an old adage that people still hold to even when it isn't accurate for the times.
I just saw Jason in Chicago four days ago. I was fairly close to the stage, close enough to see something was different about him. Looks like he got new teeth. I really liked his natural teeth. They were not the prettiest, but to me they were part of his persona of being open and honest about who he is. BUT I just read that he was having a lot of issues with them and he really didn't have much choice if he wanted to continue singing. Maybe I'll get used to them...someday.
Right there with you lol. new fancy clothes and teeth Jason bothers me for some reason. I know I have no right to feel this way, but for some reason it detracts from his authenticity for me as well
@@alexandermarcus1497 I tend to like artists/bands in their early days, before producers/agents/promoters get ahold of them and slick them over...music and image. I'm going to see Tyler Childers for the first time next month and I love his on-stage "working-man" look. But I also read an interview where the interviewer described him as wearing a linen suit with a fedora and some kind of Moroccan leather slippers. That don't sound much like a Kentucky boy who loves his mules and hounds, now does it? As long as he keeps it real on stage I don't care what he does in his personal time. 👍
Im a relative late comer to the Jason Isbell wagon. Probably got on a couple years ago. But i can say hes one of the great American songwriters. But i have to smile at the irony of his being a guest on this show. When i see him in a $1200 LV shirt i have to think of his line in “When We Were Close”, when he sings to the subject of the song “and your shirt cost more than your guitar” 😂. Well ok that looks like a Martin d28 at least and worth $3k but i had to laugh. I loved his solo version of cast iron skillet though!
@joedian1399 the song lyric you’re referencing is talking about a long time ago, specifically describing JTE, when they were both relatively unknown. A lot has changed since then. It’s sad they both didn’t make it through the harder times.
This is a far cry from Beyonce in a blonde wig, cowboy hat, and cowboy boots. 🤦♂️ Thank you for exceeding in your craft. I applaud your achievements. 👏👏👏
@ss07 in Australian slang "could handle" means DBT could beat Aldean in a fight. I realise Jason Isbell hasn't been a DBT for years but i still see him as one.
Never heard of this guy before and it was a little boring to be honest. All he was doing was singing while playing the same notes over and over. Great storytelling though.
![ละลาย (LALALYE) - DAOU PITTAYA ต้าห์อู๋ พิทยา [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wo6r9TgausI/mqdefault.jpg)
Isbell's "Weathervanes" album is the best new album I've heard in years.
All told this was one of the best Daily Shows episodes I’ve seen in a long time…
As a NW Alabama native, just like Jason (who I used to see play at a Mexican restaurant called LaFonda's way back when) I'm just happy to hear someone pronounce his last name correctly. Is-bull :)
La Fonda’s! Shoals kid here and I haven’t thought about that joint in a long time. Those Isbell shows were legendary free shows.
I am a huge fan of Jason and I think he should have been asked to perform this Grammy winning song at the awards show.
Wow....someone who actually lives up to the hype. That song brought tears to my eyes because of the truths within it.
As a longtime fan I am biased, but I don't think Jason can never be hyped enough :-) I regularly well up listening to him and I'm 65.
I couldn't agree more! Check out 24 Frames, If we were Vampires, Be Afraid and Cover Me Up!! Juicy stuff!!
Live oak is sone of the best songwriting you will ever witness
drive by truckers "outfit" was the fist one i heard of his
Such a beautiful song. Lyrics are magic…. ❤️🎼

Trust me, he is fully appreciated here. Critics been calling him the next Springsteen for years.....can't get much better praise than that.
"You sound like Neil Young!!" an audience member cries. "I am Neil Young", Isbell replies.

At what point did you give up on music and allow this junk to play in your car? Was it when you had a bunch of kids?
Me too! Thank fully now every time I mention his name I don't have to keep correcting people "Jason Isabelle??". "No. Isbel!!l".
Saw him last night. Blown away!!!
Drive-By-Truckers so underrated
Just beautiful. Never heard of him until this show.
Get into his stuff if you like songwriting and storytelling, you won't regret it!
Yes! Get his albums and see him in concert. He is one of the best of our generation.
This guy gives me hope for country music.
right.
Don't get your hopes up too high, he won't make enough money and will need to bow to the gods of popularity soon enough.

@@gritngrind4780 :) True that! Demand is changing rapidly, is all I'm saying...
been a big Jason guy for years it’s refreshing to see him in the spotlight
And now his song made me cry 😢.. sigh why is the world so mean 💔
Oh he's a unique one. Instant fan. What fascinating songwriting style. And such an intentionally vague but powerful message.
Never heard of him, the song was beautiful, he is a talent for sure. Knowing the meaning behind that song made it all the more meaningful, very nice.
He's a really great song writer. Check out If We Were Vampires if you get a chance.
Start with Southeastern
"If We Were Vampires" as well as "Elephant" are 2 of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard. Absolute gut-punches. When he wrote these, people were already saying he may be the best song-writer of the century so far. This guy is very VERY special.
24 Frames ❤❤❤❤
@@kathykennedy6137 SPEED TRAP TOWN HITS DIFFERENT!
This song made me cry. Between JI and Beyoncé, I think I'm a country fan now! 💕
(This WAS a great week for Daily Show.)
Wow it was like hearing John Prine again I will have to more of Jason's songs
On the live version of Traveling Alone from the re-issued Southeastern, he tells a John Prine story.
Mexican Home kills me every time.
Let me suggest the song speed trap town next!
@@zestymashup7645absolute favorite Isbell song
If you want a song of his that will just emotionally ravage you, listen to Elephant
Maybe his best song ever, and that's saying something. Absolute masterpiece
Man I love this dude. Wishin him all the best going through some hard stuff.
If Cast Iron Skillet made you cry, you’re going to bawl like a baby when you listen to Dreamsicle.
Or Elephant, or Relatively Easy
"Relatively Easy" still just guts me every time I hear it, all these years later.
If Faulkner was a modern day songwriter, he'd be JASON ISBELL! His southern gothic, sociological siren songs stop this old southerner in her tracks!! He's just BRILLIANT!! ❤❤
Such a great storyteller
If I had an ounce of his story telling ability I’d be happy. His music is the calm to this chaos called life for me and I’m so thankful for it.
One of my favorite singer/songwriters.
So honest.
Added this to my Playlist. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
Thank you!
I’m really feeling his energy 🫶🏻!!
Jason is in rarified company. Leonard Cohen comes to mind; not a stretch to call-up Rainer Maria Rilke. These rivers run deep. We are blessed to have this man in his prime. ❤️
I’m washing the dishes and crying. Another great song🫶
Jason Isbell can do no wrong in my opinion. What a talent he has.
John Prine would be smilin' if he heard this song, I'm sure.
Yessir. Last time I saw him was with Prine. Huge deal.
@@nelsonlugo45 that's so great they played together - with this great storytelling i was thinking of John
Never heard of Jason before - stoked to have a new artist to explore
Google Amanda Shires “Clocks and Spoons”
Beautiful song!
This man is an unbelievable talent 😊
Somebody lock this man in a museum. He's a national treasure.
Such a great song and album!
Born in the country south, but singing for all of us.
I’m crying now. Thanks a lot. 😢❤
Great artist, great guy
"He lives in a place we might touch once as a songwriter"
Amazing!
Of F dont miss the preview interview explaining this epic song in a nearby video from the daily show!
Nothing but awesome there.
GOAT
The next Guy Clark/TVZ calibre songwriter!!
Oh, I sure do miss Guy...

WTAF? I think he's doing fine
Great song!
Bravo!
Wow!
That man has a gift.
❤️
my gift is a thunbs down.
❤️ this🎼🎵🎶
Can’t do better than that.
Get out once in a while. That’s was horrible
If we were vampires is my song about my wife and it the best song ever
Tbh, I wash mine but it’s part of regular tender loving care. It was made in the 30s, it’s been mine since the 90s. ❤
I've always washed my skillets. You just have to fully dry them and occasionally wipe them with oil and heat it up.
I _don't,_ however, walk where I can't see my feet. Can't do it. Especially in water. But also in tall grass. Mice like tall grass. Snakes like mice.
I actually washed my cast iron skillet the other day.
It will be fine.
Oh and those new chompers are really throwing me off.
I know! So bright and Hollywood straight! Still the same Isbell, though. Brilliant.
Not like his old teeth would throw me off.
Yeah, apparently old ones were so bad they were gonna cost him his voice. Had never pain and stuff too.
That's part of the point of the song. Back in the day, lye soap would ruin cast iron, but modern dish soap is fine. It's an old adage that people still hold to even when it isn't accurate for the times.
❤❤❤❤ WOW
The lyric is deep

Well ok that looks like a Martin d28 at least and worth $3k but i had to laugh. I loved his solo version of cast iron skillet though!
I mean, he owns and tours with a 1959 Les Paul worth 500k easy.
He owns "Red Eye", a Les Paul guitar worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm quite certain whatever he played on here is not a 3k guitar.

Drank a cup of coffee by an Indian Mound, one of many pictures painted with just several words.
I'll stick with Blackberry Smoke for "southern rock 'n roll" with Charlie Starr. Nice lyrics for this song. Thanks for having him on the Daily Show.
"Okay wizard, what are you doing?" -- "I cast, Iron Skillet!"
Profound with some compressed irony.
Desi😍
Turns out that the old saw about never washing the cast iron is untrue.
Can you just have Desi on the whole time please
This is a far cry from Beyonce in a blonde wig, cowboy hat, and cowboy boots. 🤦♂️
Thank you for exceeding in your craft. I applaud your achievements. 👏👏👏
Somebody got some new choppers…… 🦷🦷
He got new teeth finally
You can wash a cast iron skillet just not with dishwashing soap or soap of any kind...just hot water
He got his teeth fixed.
So, trying to reach out to humanity to be more humane than they've ever been? Go metal, my friend. 🤘
224 numbskulls gave this a thumbs down.
The drive by truckers could handle Jason Andean
Pfft! Please - Jason Aldean ain't fit to be the DBT's roadie

these lyrics make *no* sense.
Meh...
Really?🙄
Never heard of this guy before and it was a little boring to be honest. All he was doing was singing while playing the same notes over and over. Great storytelling though.
You're just describing music
Isbell is one of the best songwriters alive right now and he is a superb guitar player.
Check out the Austin City Limits or Live from Alabama versions of Danko/Manuel - then come back
Listen to the recorded version, has a bit more going on musically. But the songwriting is really what makes him special.
@@crabman732 🤣 Some music.
Nah
Jason Whistler ? She said. His voice just can't compare to Morgan Wallen's. Isbell should just sell his songs
Lovely man. Though most of us enjoy ABBA more. Love you, but disagree with this lousy music
Has notes of cats in the cradle. I weep....
Also notes of American Pie.
