Jason Isbell - Foxes in the Snow (Mar. 7, 2025) Album • Page 3

kinda makes the solo aspect make more sense. i’d imagine it would be weird for some of the guys who were amanda’s band mates to get asked to play on that

 

Especially after hearing this song, which feels like a way more obvious “single” than the other two songs we’ve heard.

 

video got pulled but not before I listened to the song about 15-20 times lol

 

what song we talkin' about? the setlists for the shows so far have looked like i will have a nice and good time saturday.

 

It got deleted but it’s called True Believer and he has closed some sets with it. Honestly if I were you I wouldn’t listen to it before Sat anyway—I think you’ll be pretty fucking floored hearing it in person the first time lol. Jealous!!

edit: actually looks like he’s closing every set with it so I definitely would not listen if it resurfaces. let yourself be surprised

 

seated at the gig. very excite to see the man.

 

He was incredible. wowie.

 

Would love to hear your thoughts on any new songs we haven’t heard—I think Ride to Roberts and Gravelweed at least have been staples beyond the two singles and True Believer

 

He played 'Eileen' which I did not know until I went back through the setlist, did not seem overly memorable but Gravelweed, Ride to Roberts, and True Believer were all real good. I am looking forward to this album a tiny bit more. It was nice to get a few DBT covers at this show (Outfit, Danko).

 

His guitar playing is really incredible there.

However - Idk if I’ve ever had a complaint about an Isbell lyric but “God said ‘Hold my beer’” got a groan out of me.

 

you can kinda feel the lack of an editor on these tracks

I like this a lot so far aside from a couple songs. "True Believer" and "Gravelweed" are particularly great. "Don't Be Tough" feels he's trying to re-write "Outfit" and kind of grasping at straws.

 

“Eileen” really hit the first listen. "Don't Be Tough" I don't mind but feels like him doing Prine to me (the line about letting babies stay up late) and it's a reminder of how much Prine's particular POV/goofball-genius phrasing is so hard to truly replicate.

 

OC

this is good

 

Wall Street Journal article says he fired Jimbo from the band. Anyone know the details there? I thought that was an amicable split/that Jimbo really wanted to get off the road.

 

like the first four a lot but man don’t be tough is one of the worst songs he’s written in a while

 

obviously no one knows the truth but people are speculating he took amanda’s side in the divorce because evidently he unfollowed jason on everything and still likes and comments on a lot of amanda’s stuff

seems like silly speculation but probably a shred of truth to it

 

Ah, I didn't know that.

 

good while it lasted and true believer are great

overall this is pretty good but by his standards that means it’s probably my least favorite on first listen since prior to southeastern

 

Idk how the timeline lines up exactly. Jimbo was announced as taking a band-sanctioned mental health break in like June 2023 and then... never came back.

 

"Jason Isbell has a new album and a new girlfriend"

pulitzer prize winning headline

 

it stinks to lose a guy who has been around since the beginning but i think anna butterss is a much better bassist

 

this is making me feel some things

i may never listen to this again lol
