Found his melty face and wet car albums used at the record store a couple weeks ago and had the same thought. Haven't pulled the trigger yet on Denver but likely will.

Did anyone else think that it was Neil Young singing Miles?

Or think Vestavia Hills really sounds like Too Long in the Wasteland by James McMurtry?

I haven't listened to much James McMurtry. I need to remedy that. I recently learned that we went to the same high school.

I stayed up with my oldest last night to listen to it as soon as we could at 11:00pmCT. And of course I agree!

I was surprised and impressed to hear that he did a straight cover without changing any words, including "I work in the market as a checkout girl." I was certain he would change the gender. Kudos to him for not. It's funny sometimes how small things like that can have a positive impact.

Hyden: I don’t know if you have noticed this, but most of your albums have come out in May, June, or July. And that’s perfect, because your music seems best suited for late spring and early summer.

Isbell: Yeah, that’s what we do.

So it’s on purpose?

All of this is on purpose.

Wow.

I own the label, so all this stuff is intentional.

I definitely would not want a new Jason Isbell record in January.

Wouldn’t that feel weird? January’s already sad enough.

I want to be outside when your music is on.

I’m putting these out when people can go listen to them in the pool. Hopefully where they are will help temper some of the sadness of the songs.

For me Weathervanes is an example of what I call patio music. You’re setting yourself up to be king of the patios and barbecues this summer.

There you go. You know you’re about to have something to eat so you don’t get too awfully sad about the music.

There’s a hole inside you, fill it with barbecue and Jason Isbell songs.

Yes, exactly.

Giff, I generally like your taste. But, it’s a great song, dude.
