You guys check out the new album American Band? I think it might be one of their best albums, however I love all their stuff- patterson hood and Jason Isbell have some amazing solo stuff too. Eventually I need to catch these guys live, they've got some amazing stuff, and the music really speaks to me, considering I've been working a lot of construction jobs the past few years, breaking my back and not really seeing much of it.
I particularly like Ever South, Guns of Umpqua (I live in Oregon), and Baggage.

Seen them live 6 times since the Dirty South. My father's favorite band. My dad's friends were partying with the band once. (they've done it many times, they all know each other.) And they were asking for party supplies. And they were like we don't really do blow and they were like no, the good stuff. So they arranged to get them some acid and isbell walks by in disgust. Isbell hates drugs and is kinda a dick.

Eh that's too bad on his part- Patterson's by far my favorite of the bunch, I just like isbell's voice.
Drugs aren't for everyone. I still enjoy their music regardless though, has a lot of meaning behind it.

He's a dick for other reasons. Before he met his wife it was funny watching him try to pick up women. lol Here we rest is an amazing album though.
Dint care for american band much, nor their last 2.

Eh, their music is where it's at. Each individual is their own person.
I mean if someone pulls out heroin or meth I'm gonna walk by in disgust too. Weed and psychedelics I'll take part in however.
Trying to pick up other women is a dick move though heh.

No, before he met his wife. Lol. Isbell just doesn't have time for bullshit and comes off like a dick i guess. I've seen him get pretty fuckin mad over spilt beer though.

Ah yeah, if he's gettin' mad over spilt beer might just be how he is in general.
I don't like every song off American Band, I just really enjoy these three extensively... Though I guess I can pick a few songs off every album that I find myself constantly listening to. (Like putting people on the moon, Outfit, Sands of Iwajima).

Just got done talking to a buddy who knows Isbell pretty well. He said he wasn't surprised that Isbell isn't that fond of drugs these days, he's been through some serious rehab and drug treatment programs, so for him it's probably an adversary and challenge he's worked long and hard to get over.
Makes sense. Remember Dobie? Dude's been clean for a year now, and I'm damn proud of the man. You won't see him around here anymore though, he's not coming back to our scene, for his own sake. When you struggle so hard with addiction that it nearly kills you it puts you in a different relationship with drugs.

Yeah isbell sobered up. Lol. This was before he sobered up though. Probably 7-8 years ago. Not that i'm tryna say he's a bad guy. Lol His work with the truckers made the best albums.

True, I just like their music because it's really reflected my life lately- scraping by working my ass off in construction, be it rain and snow or the occasional sunny days...
