Live this week! My interview with four-time Grammy winner Jason Isbell for The Bitter Southerner:
“Jason Isbell is Walking Tall”
While I went to Nashville to delve into the creative process with Isbell, our conversation would range far beyond this starting point, turning over stones, upending myths, and shedding light on what we all might learn from the artist’s journey.
“I sense we’re verging on something powerful here, a territory I hoped we might explore before I ever stepped foot in [Isbell’s] barn. It’s something I think about a lot, and not just as it pertains to masculinity or gender. So often, it seems that hardness and inflexibility, even stubbornness, are perceived as strengths, when it actually takes more guts, more faith, and more courage to be vulnerable, open, and empathetic. It’s an idea that goes beyond the music or art, pushing into new ways of being.”
