Jason Isbell's story is one of redemption; one of triumph. Fired by the Drive-By Truckers in 2007 for his tendency to be a drunken jerk, his career really took off over the past decade, after he cleaned himself up, no doubt with a huge assist from Amanda Shires, who had a pretty good decade of her own. His band's album "The Nashville Sound" was the best record of 2017, and before that he'd scored with consecutive killers, "Southeastern" and "Something More Than Free."
He's got a great sense of humor, evidenced by his concert patter and almost daily on his Twitter feed. But this song is 100 percent serious, and the video helpfully includes the lyrics so it's easy to follow along.
