October 26, 20187 yr Full disclosure: this clip is not for everyone. It contains a lot of political talk. If you're a fan of Jason Isbell but a conservative, you have been warned. Moderators, move it to the new CR if necessary, I don't really know what the ground rules are here. In my view, it's interesting because it shows how thoughtful Isbell is, regardless of whether or not you agree with his politics. And it also gives a little insight into the way his mind crafts lyrics, because he strikes me as a guy who can find great poetry in simple things (e.g. his reference to "the red letters" in the Bible in this clip): Isbell on Southern politics

November 13, 20187 yr Isbell headlining seems like a really good get for old settlers (but I'm not smart)
November 13, 20187 yr What's this facility like? Is it all lawn seating? Camping? I've actually never attended an Old Settler's but this looks to have moved, regardless.
November 13, 20187 yr OSMF moved last year and I didn’t go for the first time in a decade or so. I’ll hit whatever day Jason plays. Also note it’s a full band acoustic show. Mandolin Orange is great too.
November 13, 20187 yr The new Whitey Morgan and the 78's album - Hard Times and White Lines is pretty good.

I've actually never attended an Old Settler's but this looks to have moved, regardless. last year was the first year out by lockhart. it's all lawn seating, yes, there is camping available (kerrville style) if you're into that. i make the drive back home each night.
November 15, 20187 yr just got tickets to the Chris Stapleton show at the ACL Moody in April. presale sold out in about 60 seconds. very excited about this one.
November 19, 20187 yr Author Been hearing this one on local radio lately. It's not available on an album yet but should be soon:
December 4, 20187 yr I have four tickets to Tyler Childers at Gruene Hall on 12.13.18 that I cannot use. Looking to get face value, which is $100 total. I'm in Houston. PM if interested.
December 6, 20187 yr Scott Miller, y'all. Seriously, he might be the best out there today. This is a song he wrote about a schoolfriend of his who took her own life with carbon monoxide in her garage, leaving several young kids behind. I think a set of twins of about eight. He's writing from the perspective of their dad. He can also do funny and just plain cool. He can't help it that he's a fan of that other UT. He's also a working cattleman up in the Shenandoah Valley...They do have cows up there. He gives me shit about how Virginia really is the father of Texas and I can't really tell him to fuck off because it was the birthplace of both Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin. So I just call him a Yankee.
December 13, 20187 yr Justin Wells - The Dogs is such a bad ass song. He used to be the lead singer of Fifth on the Floor. If you like “The Dogs”, you’ll love Distant Memory Lane by Fifth on the Floor. Couldn’t recommend them any more.

December 13, 20187 yr Epic Love, Someday/Sometime, Amtrak Crescent, and holy hell did he nail this one- Mother-in-Law.
December 14, 20187 yr Had never heard of Scott Miller. He’s really damn solid. Thanks for the recommendation. “The Rain” is unreal. Edited December 14, 20187 yr by ocugolf
December 14, 20187 yr Great suggestion, I had never heard of them before but started with those 2 songs and was immediately hooked, been listening to them all day today, one of my favorites already, really good shit. I'm digging that Scott Miller too. Don't know if anyone has mentioned John Moreland in this thread but he's one of my favorites. Before I started down this Fifth on the Floor/Justin Wells rabbit hole, I was on a big John Moreland kick. If you're looking for somewhere to start, go with 3:59 AM, great ass song Justin Wells - The Dogs is such a bad ass song. He used to be the lead singer of Fifth on the Floor. If you like “The Dogs”, you’ll love Distant Memory Lane by Fifth on the Floor. Couldn’t recommend them any more.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
December 17, 20187 yr So i went down the Scott Miller hole on Spotify. He was in a band called The V-Roy’s that i hadn’t heard. Pretty solid. But also in the V-Roy’s was Mic Harrison. Mic Harrison and the High Score have a killer song called Sawdust.
December 17, 20187 yr The little I've heard of Scott Miller is really good . . . on the live CD recording of that tune "The Rain" he shares an alarming vocal similarity with Jason Isbell. I don't hear it quite so much on other live tracks. On that one tune he has the same husky tone as Isbell. Otherwise, he seems to have a thinner twang, just as good, but different. I'm always fascinated when one singer sounds so much like another -- the voice is such a distinct instrument.
December 18, 20187 yr Saw John Fullbright at the kessler last night. Good gravy that dude is talented, plays the hell outta harmonica and keyboard, also doubles down on guitar+harmonica. Helluva writer and solid singer to boot. Highly recommend catching him live, he brings it.
December 18, 20187 yr He didn't mention anything last night specifically about a new one but agreed. Saw Isbell tweet that he's in writing mode right now, so prob get some new stuff in 19

We had a short laugh because I actually owned a Chevy Citation in high school.
