    If You Want to Know How to Cure a Hangover, Ask a Musician, Especially One Who Has Recently Been in Rehab

    If you want to know how to cure a hangover, ask a musician, especially one who has recently been in rehab. “Pedialyte, that’s what you need,” Jason Isbell told me. He was standing outside a recording studio in suburban Nashville, lighting a cigarette. “It’s the stuff you give kids who are dehydrated from diarrhea. It’s like 10 Gatorades in one bottle.” Isbell is big and gregarious — he’s 6-1, 200 pounds — with wary, deep-set blue eyes that flash and size you up at the same time. On this early afternoon in February, those eyes were puffy and red-rimmed. He had only three days to finish “Southeastern,” his new album. He had four days until his wedding. Like Ray Liotta in the third act of “Goodfellas,” he was manic and barely sleeping. “Coffee and adrenaline,” he said. “They’ll see me through.” In the old days, this kind of stress would have sent Isbell, who is 34, into a tailspin. He found fame early and wasn’t ready for it. When he was 22, he joined the Drive-By Truckers, the brilliant and hard-living Alabama band. He quickly wrote several of the group’s signature songs, including the title cut of its 2003 album, “Decoration Day,” and a beautiful bummer of a tune called “Goddamn Lonely Love.” He almost as quickly burned out. His first marriage, to Shonna Tucker, the band’s bassist at the time, came unstitched in public. There were some ugly scenes. Isbell’s fondness for Jack Daniel’s did not become him.

  • Jason Isbell's "Anxiety" Is Such a Lonely Tune

    Jason Isbell's "Anxiety" Is Such a Lonely Tune

    By Lloyd Sachs Even more than (forgive the comparison) Billy Joel's "Honesty," Jason Isbell's "Anxiety" is such a lonely tune. Nuzzled against his lover, the song's first-person narrator seems free of serious relationship worries. But the world around him – the Trumpian world, that is, in all its rotten injustices and imbalances – has him feeling like he's trapped in a bad fantasy. "I'm wide awake and I'm in pain," he sings. If there's a word that best reflects Isbell's state of being these days, though, it's consistency. As has been widely reported and won't be rehashed here, he suffered through times of great tumult and inconsistency as a result of serious substance abuse – so serious it got him kicked out of Drive-By Truckers a decade ago, capping a six-year stint with the great Southern rock band. Now, having straightened himself out in impressive fashion, he's a model of dependability, priding himself on his ability to go out night after night with his 400 Unit and deliver a memorable show. The 38-year-old native of rural Alabama, who has always considered himself a guitar player "first and foremost," also is also proud of his continued growth as an instrumentalist. So it was a dream come true last July – a "huge event," as he put it – when Martin Guitar unveiled the Jason Isbell Signature Edition D-18. Isbell thrilled to the moment not only because Martin has been so admired over so many years – hello, consistency – but also because his association with the company brought him back full circle to his earliest days as a guitarist.

  • Artist: Jim Lauderdale Album: Country Super Hits Vol 1 Label: Yep Roc

    Artist: Jim Lauderdale Album: Country Super Hits Vol 1 Label: Yep Roc

    2006 www.realrootscafe.com [email protected] Artist: Jim Lauderdale Album: Country Super Hits Vol 1 Label: Yep Roc Records woensdag 20 december 2006 Even niet opgelet en de titel ‘Country Super Hits Vol.1’ zet je op het verkeerde been. Het is namelijk geen verzameling oude countryhits van Jim Lauderdale, maar een gloednieuw afgeleverd werkstuk dat, in samenwerking met de mij onbekende Odie Blackmon, werd gemaakt. Beiden schreven - op één na – de liedjes en deden de productie. In Amerika zal dit album waarschijnlijk hoge ogen gooien bij publiek en pers, hier te lande zal alleen de verstokte liefhebber van ouderwetse country & western, in een enigszins vernieuwde outfit, even opkijken. Dus vermoed ik dat deze bespreking tegen vele dovenmansoren zal zijn gericht. Dat valt wat mij betreft goed te snappen, omdat luisteren naar driekwartier Honky Tonk immers een tamelijk zelfkastijdend tijdverdrijf is. Daar kan het uitnodigende openingsnummer van deze cd Honky Tonk Mood Again, het grote koor aan muzikanten en de heldere productie niet veel aan verhelpen. Ook al zijn er een paar nummers met een lichte folk- en bluesinvloed, het blijft té country & western. Waarmee ik het traditionele countrygenre in het algemeen en deze cd in het bijzondere niet wil diskwalificeren. Hooguit valt er wat aan te merken op de smaak van ondergetekende. Maar ja, daarover valt in wezen altijd te twisten. Huub Thomassen Artist: Josh Ottum Album: Like The Season Label: Tapete Records woensdag 20 december 2006 Na vier jaar lang muziek te hebben gemaakt in zijn slaapkamer kwam de uit Seattle afkomstige singer- songwriter Josh Ottum tot het idee maar eens een debuut album te maken.

He works mainly on the history and culture of the U.S. South, the African American experience, and Anglo-American cultural relations.

Sounds Southern?: The Southern Operas of Delius, Davidson and the Drive-By Truckers This essay turns on the unlikely coincidence that British-born classical composer Fredrick Delius, Tennessee Agrarian poet-critic Donald Davidson and Alabama alt.country rockers the Drive-By Truckers each wrote an ‘opera’ about the U.S. South.1 By focusing on Delius’s Koanga (1904), Davidson’s folk-opera Singin’ Billy (1953), and the Drive-By Truckers’ double album Southern Rock Opera (2001), I want to consider how these very different artists, working in different idioms in different eras, tried to evoke aspects of the U.S.
