“Isbell is a storyteller at the peak of his craft,” Thompson says, in a high-cholesterol Southern accent that will sound familiar to “College Football GameDay” viewers. “Observing his fellow wanderers, looking inside himself and trying to understand, reducing a universe to four minutes. He shrinks life small enough to name the fear and strip it away, helping his listeners make sense of how two plus two and stops equally four once you reach a certain age and carry a certain amount of scars.
The video doesn’t reveal the title of Isbell’s upcoming album, which will be the Grammy-winning roots/rock artist’s seventh studio album. Or a release date, other than it will come out this year. However, in addition to the above likely song titles, the video hints at lyrical themes, a big deal for Isbell’s fans, many of which are drawn equally by his novelist-like lyrics as much as his supple vocals and Allman-esque guitaring.
As Thompson describes it in the video, “Songs about adult love, about change, about the danger of nostalgia and the interrogation of myths, about cruelty and regret and redemption. Life and death songs played by grown-ass people.” You can watch the video below.
