Re: Jason hitting the studio
...... with my rock and roll band. I can't see him making Southeastern 3.
Great news for the live shows. They were getting a bit stale.

It's not fair, but this has me expecting a big rock record.
Re: Jason hitting the studio
Well, it might not be "fair" but I think you're right. I'm hoping for one and I have to think it is due. Fingers crossed!Iowan wrote:It's not fair, but this has me expecting a big rock record.

If it's another Southeastern 3.0/NPR fare, it won't end up with much play for me.

Re: Jason hitting the studio
Is JI really capable of making a Rock record? It's a fair question isn't it? Of his DBT work only Never Gonna Change is a real rock song and the only album he's made with more than 1 or 2 is Sirens of the Ditch. The guy writes ballads, mostly good ones, I think he thinks he writes Rock songs, but I'm not sure I agree. We'll see.Iowan wrote:It's due.walthers wrote:Well, it might not be "fair" but I think you're right. I'm hoping for one and I have to think it is due.

btw, that's not a knock on Jason it's more of a realization of what kind of songs he writes. I wasn't a huge fan of SMTF but not because of the lack of Rock songs.

He's written quite a few rock songs in my estimation. Maybe not hard rock, but rock.

Re: Jason hitting the studio
Bingo. I would be shocked if the new album is anything but Southeastern 3. Nothing wrong with that, as long as the songs are good and Dave Cobb doesn't suck all the life out of the band as per usual.Tequila Cowboy wrote:Is JI really capable of making a Rock record?

Jason's no dummy. Making rock records and playing rock shows=playing for 10 people in Wisconsin Dells and Dekalb, IL. Making pop records and playing rock shows=sold out theaters. He's got a mortgage to pay and a baby to feed, for Pete's sake!

Re: Jason hitting the studio
I'd go you one better, he's one of the best guitarists in the business. I mean he's seriously incredible and he does display it live, but that's not his calling card. He actually displays more of his playing skills when he has guested with other people like Warren Haynes and Centro-Matic to name a couple. All that said I will approach this new record with an open mind.

Re: Jason hitting the studio
Judging from Super 8 and songs like Good, I think I'd prefer he stay away from rockers.
His best rock songs were all with the Truckers (songs off Sirens included).

Re: Jason hitting the studio
Hard to imagine that he's just going to sit on those guitar playing skills for the rest of his career.
I'm with Iowan on all of this. I think he has written several rock songs. Decoration Day, The Day John Henry Died, Easy On Yourself arent rock songs? What are they?
I'll even go so far as to say Danko/Manuel, GDLL, and Daylight are all rock songs. They aren't country songs. I liked and still like Something More Than Free but I admit I would love a rock record or even just something that isn't a record of mostly just quieter songs.

Re: Jason hitting the studio
I'd settle for him adding "Try" back to the set list

Re: Jason hitting the studio
Agreed. Was listening to a show last week from 2009 (Blues Fest MD), it had Try (with the No Quarter riff) and Never Gonna Change (with the Spiders (Kidsmoke riff))... Good times, good times...Zip City wrote:I'd settle for him adding "Try" back to the set list

But yeah, I'd call all of these rock songs:
Decoration Day
The Day John Henry Died
Easy on Yourself
Daylight
Never Gonna Change
When the Well Runs Dry
Crystal Clear
Try
Shotgun Wedding
Grown
Brand New Kind of Actress
Good
Seven Mile Island
However Long
Go it Alone
Never Could Believe
Super 8
Flying Over Water
24 Frames
Children of Children
Palmetto Rose

Re: Jason hitting the studio
Cole, I don't know if you've seen him live in the post-Southeastern era, but when I saw him on the SMTF tour his electric guitar abilities were front and center on about 3/4 of the songs. He's definitely not letting those skills go to waste.Cole Younger wrote:Hard to imagine that he's just going to sit on those guitar playing skills for the rest of his career.

Re: Jason hitting the studio
I'd probably agree with that list but the issue is outside of the DBT/Sirens era songs how many of these are any good? I'd say Seven Mile Island and Children of Children off the top of my head. I'm someone that doesn't hate Super 8 but I'm also not going to call it a good song. I think his skill is at writing ballads and lighter fare primarily but I'm certainly hoping to be proved wrong.Iowan wrote:GDLL is a country song to me.Cole Younger wrote:Hard to imagine that he's just going to sit on those guitar playing skills for the rest of his career.

I'm a "Good" defender. That song was very important to me in 2008-2009.

Re: Jason hitting the studio
I know it. He still rips it up live. Which makes me even more inclined to believe he's not going g to go the rest of his career without bringing it back on a record.Duke Silver wrote:Cole, I don't know if you've seen him live in the post-Southeastern era, but when I saw him on the SMTF tour his electric guitar abilities were front and center on about 3/4 of the songs.

I like Good too. I always have. People are free to disagree but I like it. I like Super 8. It's not going to change anybody's life or make them say, "wow" but does everything g have to? It's just for fun.

I don't hate Good I suppose, but it's never been a favorite. I also enjoy Super 8 from time to time but I understand why some people absolutely despise it.Cole Younger wrote:I like Good too.

Re: Jason hitting the studio
I think super 8 is fun but my wife hates it. It is pretty entertaining because we will drive by random hotels and she will sing her own rendition. Like " don't wanna die in a courtyard by Marriott". It is pretty entertaining.

The hate for Good, Super 8, and the ABAAC tracks has never made sense to me. I could see his new fans hating Super 8, but I always thought it was a fun little bone thrown to the DBT crowd.
Re: Jason hitting the studio
Good is boring, Super 8 is fun but completely out of place on Southeastern, and the ABAAC tracks are just bad. One is a Ryan Adams knock off, and the other is completely out of tune

Super 8 is thankful that Never Could Believe exists so it can say it's not the worst Isbell solo song.
