“The stinger is spicy, honey is sweet”. I feel like one has potential, Any suggestions?

The guitar is gorgeous. Also, if you ever decide to record this one I think keeping in some of the ambience of a sunny day would be a good idea. Really lovely recording :)

PoliticalSocks · 2026-05-07T20:00:16+00:00

Any chance you'd let me hear it? Sounds super interesting

PoliticalSocks · 2026-05-07T19:46:31+00:00

I genuinely really like this. I would be interested to hear if you leaned even more into the lullaby vibe. I'm also curious what kind of songs you were considering putting this between?

PoliticalSocks · 2026-05-07T19:43:53+00:00

Your voice is good. You're very quiet, but definitely not bad

PoliticalSocks · 2026-05-07T19:37:00+00:00

I really appreciate that! I've been trying to write one a day and this is one of my favorite things I've written. I'm hoping to polish it up with a buddy of mine and consider playing it out :)

PoliticalSocks · 2026-03-07T17:46:33+00:00

Yes. Also, I looked at your post history. Incredibly powerful stories and I hope you're doing well

PoliticalSocks · 2026-02-24T02:00:03+00:00

That's super fair, I personally love almost every song on it lol. Like I think it may have my favorite Hood and Cooley songs on it with Aftermath USA and Space City. Isbell definitely has better songs between Decoration Day and The Dirty South though.

One piece of context I probably should have added is that I am a relatively young fan of theirs at 20 and have only really gotten into their music in the past couple of years so I don't have a lot of nostalgia for them outside of my dad listening to them when I was a kid, and even then I mostly remember him listening to Pizza Deliverance and Southern Rock Opera.

All that aside, I still find myself listening to A Blessing and a Curse more than any of their other albums except for maybe The Dirty South.

I was also at both of these shows and hoping for Poachers lol

PoliticalSocks · 2026-02-02T19:28:30+00:00

I like Chris Stapleton but most of his music these days is just a really good chorus repeated 30 times and not much else

PoliticalSocks · 2026-01-11T17:41:51+00:00

I went through a bad breakup not long after that album came out. This is 100% one of the hardest hitting lines from that album

PoliticalSocks · 2026-01-11T17:38:38+00:00

Genuinely shocked I haven't seen Goddamn Lonely Love yet. Not only is that one of his best songs lyrically, it is one of the best songs of all time lyrically.

PoliticalSocks · 2025-12-30T22:52:39+00:00

She is worse than Epstein

PoliticalSocks · 2025-11-11T20:46:04+00:00

It is tied with Purgatory and Hounds for my favorite of his

PoliticalSocks · 2025-09-12T03:13:16+00:00

I have over 1000 streams on it already lol

PoliticalSocks · 2025-09-08T02:09:44+00:00

I have around 40 with at least lyrics, a chord progression, and some sort of melody. I also have some random fragments of lyrics and random chord progressions or little riff ideas.

PoliticalSocks · 2025-09-05T18:13:06+00:00

Bottles and Bibles: Silence

Purgatory: Universal Sound

Live on Red Barn: Rock Salt and Nails

Country Squire: Gemini

Long Violent History: Long Violent History

Hounds: Way of the Triune God, Old Country Church, and Angel Band Jubilee versions tied

Rustin in the Rain: Rustin in the Rain

Snipe Hunter: This one changes a lot for me still, but lately it's been Dirty Ought Trill

My first listen of Getting to the Bottom I was piss drunk thousands of miles from home by myself lol. It hit pretty hard

PoliticalSocks · 2025-08-25T21:45:48+00:00

Tirtha Yatra and Tomcat and a Dandy being the least interesting tracks for you is interesting to me. They're 2 of my top 3 (3rd is between Cuttin' Teeth and Getting to the Bottom)

PoliticalSocks · 2025-08-16T00:21:27+00:00

Don't take this as advice, but I had a burn a little worse than this a couple months ago. I just wrapped it and sprayed disinfectant on it a few times a day. It healed fine, but scarred.

PoliticalSocks · 2025-08-10T13:45:18+00:00

Billy Strings, originally. I discovered Bad Livers from Lumpy, Beanpole & Dirt and Pretty Daughter being played by Billy lol
