You'll notice they criticize his songwriting (it's a cover album), call him an addict (he's been sober several years now), tell him to "stay in his lane" re: politics/music (only politicians get to have political opinions? No opinions shared here anyway, outside of the album title) or that the album is uncreative (again, covers, of incredible artists at that)... Listen to Mr. Isbell and the 400 Unit harness Otis Redding at his best in their cover of "I've been lovin' you too long" once, and any doubts as to the quality of the album or musicianship should be cleared up rather quickly. As good as their word re: making the album, and how...
Exceptional musicianship, thoughtful selections

If you don’t like Jason’s politics, please quit buying his concert tickets so I don’t have to sit in an obstructed view seat next time. That aside, these selections are exquisitely produced and presented here. They also rock live. Honeysuckle Blue needs to be a set list staple for 400 Unit shows going forward. Buy it, enjoy it, and rather than tell an artist to stop expressing himself, maybe just shut yo-self up.
Please Stop

Brutal versions of The Allmans and Black Crowes songs. Liz Reed is about the rhythm section, Dicky and Duane tell a building story while the rhythm section burn it down. Chris Robinson may be the best front man of the last 35 years, he has soul and it can't be taught or faked. Painful
INTERESTING

A Isbell cd's strength lies in superior songwriting.
just be honest with yourself

funny how people who voted for a celebrity to be president (twice for some) get upset about a musician expressing their political views and suggest that said musician "stay in their lane"
anyways...sound quality on this record is excellent a s usual from this group. love the theme as well.
Spectacular

I’m a big big fan of this great man. It’s really gross to see people with such anger toward his politics, take it out on rating a record. I, on the other hand..am very appreciative of his hard work and thoughtfulness given to each track. He’s made a beautiful record here, all of these songs are UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL. Thank you, Jason..for loving music, and incorporating it into the love you have for your country and it’s people.
powerful voice

Jason's vocals have always been strong, but my goodness his singing is incredible on this album. It's clearly something he's been working on, and it shows.
oh well

Thought I’d only be downloading a track or two but it’s sucking me in song by song.
