Jason Isbell - Foxes in the Snow (Mar. 7, 2025) Album • Page 6

Pretty much mine exactly but I'd swap the last two and Weathervanes vs Reunions is a toss up depending on my mood lol

 

Southeastern
Reunions
Weathervanes
Something More Than Free
Foxes in the Snow
Here We Rest
The Nashville Sound
400 Unit
Sirens of the Ditch

I could see Foxes leapfrogging Something More Than Free with more time.

The Nashville Sound is the one that’s lost its luster for me. I loved that album so much when it came out, but I think it suffers both from trying to “say something” about post-Trump America and from Cobb’s production, which sounds so limp and boring. Some great songs on there, but I definitely don’t reach for it much.

 

“Good while it lasted” is just too good.

“And for a minute in the afternoon, I almost didn’t think of you. It was good while it lasted.”

Pretty simple but man that packs a punch.

 

This is good. Haven’t paid much attention to the lyrics but it was nice to listen to while we ate dinner.

 

It’s so jarring to go back and forth between love songs and breakup songs. He’s still often writing in character, but the seeming lack of distance between his personal situation and the songs makes it hard to not just feel like you’re getting jerked around.

 

I figured I'd ask here first, would anyone want a ticket to his show in Austin this Saturday? I got so excited to go but I do not feel like making the drive this weekend, it's a free GA ticket.

 

There’s a few songs on this that have lodged in my brain for a while now, but particularly Good While It Lasted. What a fucking song.

 

I really feel for Amanda listening to these songs. Hope she’s doing alright.

 

What do we think the best Jason Isbell late night songs are? Trying to throw some on my daughter’s playlist for when I’m feeding her in the wee small hours. Vampires come to mind.

 

Definitely "Vampires."

Also:

Eileen
Wind Behind the Rain
Streetlights
Only Children
St. Peter's Autograph
In a Razor Town
Flagship
Speed Trap Town
The Nightswimming cover

 

Letting You Go

 

Sorry I don’t feel like crying every time I feed my daughter at 4am haha

 

Understandable.

 

Our boy produced the upcoming Kathleen Edwards album, and plays a blistering guitar solo on her new song:

 

aw yeah

 

Ryman dates 10/16 - 10/18 & 10/23 - 10/25 on sale friday i believe

 

Unreleased song is fine I guess--sure can tell Dave Cobb produced it lol (derogatory)

 

neat!
