May 10, 20232 yr Isbell was fantastic tonight, as pretty much always. That’s a damn American rock n roll show there. Damn good stuff

May 10, 20232 yr i feel like he's at the top of his game vocally right now. everyone knows he can play the guitar and write a song but the guy can fucking sing too.
May 10, 20232 yr He's always been a kind of underrated singer. When I was first discovering DBT, it was his voice that stuck out to me more than anything, as he isn't the best songwriter in that band, and I wasn't sure who was playing what guitar parts at first. As much as I love Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood as writers, Isbell blew them out of the water as a vocalist. Edited May 10, 20232 yr by Al_4_ISU
May 10, 20232 yr Full disclosure - I’m relatively new to Isbell’s music, and this was the first time I’ve seen him live but “Last of my kind” was the standout song to me at the show last night. I‘ve always enjoyed songs that start minimalistic and build, grow and develop into a crescendo. Edited May 10, 20232 yr by GenXer
May 13, 20232 yr Was nobody else there last night? Really enjoyed the show. Sadler’s slide tone is killer on that sg. No red eye, no outfit, no goddamn lonely love, but like I mentioned above the encore was cast iron skillet and never gonna change. Never Gonna Change was awesome. Mix of songs across his albums. Mezzanine at ACL is great, first time I’ve sat up there.

Dude was puking all over the men’s room at one point and we saw another guy passed out by the door.
May 13, 20232 yr I'll be there tonight, looking forward to it. Planning to arrive in time to hear Amythyst Kiah as well. Edited May 13, 20232 yr by KaiserSoze

That’s bizarre to me that someone would get annihilated for an Isbell show.Christ, I feel like I’m being a dick drinking at all at his shows.
May 14, 20232 yr He played an unreleased new one tonight that was a big rocker. Looks like it was King of Oklahoma Edited May 14, 20232 yr by 4th&Five
May 14, 20232 yr Went Friday night. Wife and I counted and this was the 6th time seeing him, starting from the Texas Union show in 2015. Had a great time. I liked the heavy weighting toward Southeastern. I think that Sadler Vaden song is fine, but that main riff is killer live.Literally 3 minutes before they went on, my doctor sent me a message that we need to do a bone marrow transplant to try and treat my leukemia. An hour later, that mother fucker pulls out Elephant. I was a mess. My wife said that at least he didn’t do If We Were Vampires, which was a good point. We would have been puddles if he did that one.
May 14, 20232 yr He does is all a favor by not doing Elephant and Vampires at the same show. Hope everything works out for you, man!

Or the middle aged guy standing and doing praise music arms in the second row of the mezzanine. I’d take Vampires over Elephant, what DBT did he play?
May 14, 20232 yr Didn’t get elephant, outfit, or goddamn lonely love last night. But he did close with Danko/Manuel which was fucking AWESOME.
May 14, 20232 yr The pre-Southeastern songs were: Night 1: Outfit, AL Pines, Decoration Day Night 2 : AL Pines, Never Gonna Change Night 3: Danko/Manuel
May 14, 20232 yr Ah man the danko solo on live from Alabama is my favorite Isbell guitar playing, would have loved that.

May 15, 20232 yr Couldn’t help but grab a couple of solos from Saturday night. IMG_4229.mov IMG_4231.mov IMG_4232.mov
May 21, 20232 yr I hear the new shit from Special Guest is awesome It’s Cody Canada. Probably nothing new.

Pretty sure it’s a shot at Morgan Wallen, who A) makes awful music B) covered an Isbell song poorly, C) likes getting wasted and yelling the N word in public, and D) just canceled a bunch of dates because he “lost his voice”
May 22, 20232 yr Anybody going to Gruene Hall today? So jack Ingram called in sick and William Beckmann was a last minute replacement. That dude was amazing. I’ve heard him a little on KOKE but he can fucking sing and stole the show while sing swapping with Randy Rogers.

That dude is about to blow up, very personable on stage too. Saw him at gruene last summer and had hell finding tix bc it was sold out.
June 1, 20232 yr He's rich, and he's smart enough to keep his shit together. He knows he doesn't need their support. Well done.
June 2, 20232 yr On 5/30/2023 at 8:57 AM, 4th&Five said: Another new one. took me a couple of listens but i dig it. i'd rank the four songs released from weathervanes so far as: 1) cast iron skillet, 2) middle of the morning, 3) save the world, 4) death wish
June 2, 20232 yr seems like a kinda fun kinda stupid merch item. I need another 10" skillet for pan pizzas but this is a 6.5" so I'll skip (sold out anyways).
June 2, 20232 yr I actually bought a few 8" Lodge skillets last week. They make good serving dishes right out of the oven for things like nachos, birria with cheese, etc.

June 3, 20232 yr I don't know where this goes, but it goes somewhere: Outstanding. Three chords and the truth. Simple formula.

June 3, 20232 yr I mean I’ve got the 8” and the… 6.5” probably (as well as the big le creuset skillet/Dutch oven/saucepan), just that the 10” is the only lodge I need a second of. I have one of those lil bitty one egg homies too somewhere… where did that thing go Edited June 3, 20232 yr by Celery Man
