In other words he sings southern gothic music with a somber melody

That's one way of putting it. ANother would be.... he read way too many useless books while an English major at community college and now hocks fantasy world fiction songs to Garden & Gun subscribers.

I need help identifying an instrument for research:


LINK..................


Starts with piano intro > then at 00:23 the electronic drums kick in > but what they hell is used to make that freaky 2-second riff that starts at 00:29??


It's the exact same thing used to make the Fletch theme song, and also parts of the Beverly Hills Cop Axle F theme song. This is important, please help.

"In Town"


Leave your boots by the bed girl
VADawg and _____ Dawg are in town
I've never chopped wood once, but I sing about it

Alcoholism, and molestors behind every bush.....
Too depressed to looook and my calloused hands hurt from hammering nails (never did that once either)

Get your boots, decayed wood, meth, and cancer...
VADawg and _____ Dawg are in town

Boots!




Edit: That's in the key of D

You don't know what southern gothic is? Have you ever read anything by Faulkner, O'Connor, Capote, harry crews, Cormac McCarthy, or Carson McCullers? Then you've read southern gothic

Severely depressed alcoholics/druggies rambling and putting their long-winded pretentious fever-dreams down on paper. And then the government forces students to read it in the prison schools because otherwise only about half of .0001% of the population would subject themselves to read that shite voluntarily..

USA! USA! USA!

I like "The Unvanquished" and "The Road" and "No COuntry for Old Men" though so I am a hypocrite, I guess. They make Isbell look optimistic.

I never really read any of those authors in school. Seemed like the books we read were disproportionately skewed toward minorities / race relations, not that all those books were bad, but it gets old after a while.

Tried to read some Faulkner as an adult. I could never get into it. To each their own, I guess.

They made us read Faulkner and O'Connor in school. Which is an exercise in pointless torture imo, except that The Unvanquished was easier to read than the rest for some reason and you didn't have to re-read each paragraph four times to figure out who was talking. And also it was good.

I've never heard of Capote or McCullers. I know of Crews because that was the hipster cool dude author you were suppose to know about during my time at UGA. The only one I read was about a rattlesnake roundup and it was horseshite.

Cormac McCarthy is a genius though.

I saw that movie "No COuntry for Old Men" and it's still the best movie i've ever seen by far....and it led me to the book which is might be the best book ever written. "The Road" is fricked up as all get out and terrifying too. And gave me nightmares because as soon as that mysterious explosion hit, the dad started filling up the bathtub. Man, wtf? I gave the horse boy trilogy a shot, but couldn't get into it

"The COunselor" which MCCarthy wrote the screeplay to is pretty under-rated as well, imo. You have to watch it a minimum of three times though.

THe first time, you hate it. The second time, you hate it. And then after the third time, you realize you watched it three times. And there's got to be a reason why you are obsessed enough to do that, so then you get it.

Faulkner can be a chore to read and I've personally never really gotten into his stuff the way some folks have.

O'Connor I like. Can't really explain why but the idea of a smooth talking bible salesman stealing a poor girls prosthetic leg and stranding her in a hay loft... plus the Misfit is just a cool villain

McCarthy is an all time favorite but I agree with you on the Border trilogy, hard to get into.

McCullers is from columbus and wrote the heart is a lonely hunter about a couple of gay deaf mutes and an assortment of odd folks living in that city. It's not for everyone but caught my attention.

Capote wrote In Cold Blood and a number of short stories and is from Alabama. A lot of his stories would be decried for trying to be too edgy now but when they were written it was pretty grotesque and jarring. "Children on their birthdays" is one that always kind of stayed with me.

Beyond those you also have Ambrose Bierce who has resurfaced lately in tv series like true detective and James Dickey who wrote Deliverance. Shows like Justified and Bloodline play heavily on southern gothic themes as well

And now my image of Isbell is either ruined or made better forever. Honestly don't know which.

It's a bass synth or saw lead synth. They come on my stock Roland keyboards. Hornsby of course uses them very tastefully and dynamically. Great artist.

I just saw Jason and the 400 Unit live in St. Augustine...my second show of his...they are pretty amazing in person TBH...they encored and closed with the best damn cover of "Whipping Post" I have ever heard....the brooding self loathing and dark tone is somewhat gone with the new album...he traded all that in with some SJW BS that I usually hit skip on...but I am still mesmerized by the talent level...and the fact that his stuff is never ever regurgitated re-gurgled country pop shite...so for that I will keep listening...

Jeff...this is just your latest bandwagon/soap box...sometimes you are an interesting/informative poster...but I have been gone awhile and when I come back..yep...there it is...a JD dominated thread bitching about whatever everybody else is trying to enjoy...you sir are truly the greatest curmudgeon of all DR history...oh and I like Flannery O'Conner as well..LOL

You got that right. I think he's one of the most talented artist walking the planet.
We drove up to Chattanooga in April (before the new album) and caught a show.
What was your impression of "chaos and clothes"? He doesn't play it every night. I really hope we're fortunate enough to hear it.

You remember that time when Isbell and Mose turned the beet farm into a bed n breakfast.......and Jim and Pam stayed there and were real sarcastic and kept looking into the documentary camera with facial expressions of disbelief?

Classic!

It sounds out of place, imo.

That's' anither good thing about the collapse of the record industry..... Nowadays, you don't have to put syntheziser riffs (that make no sense/at gunpoint) in songs to subliminally connect them to whatever chevy chase or Eddie Murphy movie is doing well in theatres.
