I don't know if I'd call this beautiful but it is sad. More a cautionary tale.....'

I'll throw this one in there too - triumph over depression?

This one's hard to listen to

so's this one

Forgive me if I've posted these before. Most of us have stories like this in our families somewhere back in time.

I’ve never gone all the way through the whole thread so not sure if this has already been included but just in case…

And about half of everything else he's done. Love Jason Isbell. "Sharecropper eyes"--hell of an image.

So my knowledge, prior to this recent summer, of Jason Isbell has been limited to his work with Drive By Truckers and some odd and end stuff he's done around Georgia.

A month or so back I caught him with The 400 Unit, Billy Strings and Willie Fucking Nelson on tour when they came through and I was absolutely blown away. So much damn soul, and pain, in his voice and songs. Went on a bit of a deep dive and I'm in. Incredible talent.

"If We Were Vampires" amazing lyrics. He's awesome. Band kills.

Excellent guitar player too. Saw him in Reno some years ago, after he had huge success with Southeastern, and was shocked he didn't sell out the venue.

We saw him and 400 Unit this summer, and at the Sheryl Crow Austin City Limits Hall of Fame Induction a couple weeks ago. Top talent, and hilarious and cool on twitter. Accessible. He's an excellent player.

Also saw the Drive by Truckers in august. They could use him back.

Sad cowboy songs. I heard the first one on the radio the other day, reminded me of the second.

e
Canadians both.

BTW, been watching Yellowstone. I have mixed feelings about it but the music is pretty darn good. Ryan Bingham has a part.

During my wannabe Hank Moody days this one was always at reach.

If you love beautiful ivories, slide guitar and haunting songs about addiction....

My Dad saw Gregson and Collister while on a business trip to DC in the early 80s, he bought their LP, which introduced me to this.

**Danno** · 01-18-2023, 01:38 PM

Made me think of this one, same artist

**old goat** · 01-18-2023, 04:41 PM

Cive Gresson sounds an awful lot like Richard Thomson--that and the subject of Home is Where the Heart is reminded me of this

**Danno** · 01-18-2023, 05:10 PM

Love RT and LT, lots of their songs (and his solo songs) fit this thread. And in fact, RT has two tracks on the album that has the Gregson/Collister song on it that I linked. Like this one, that just slays me.
