Isbell Interview

I'm not familiar with the music blog Hear*Ya (yet), but today I read a really good interview with Jason Isbell on the site.

"An Interview with Jason Isbell - Here We Rest" is an interesting read, to me at least. But as some people might know, I'm a big fan of Mr. Isbell, and the interview only gets me more geeked up about the new album.

I especially like Isbell's comments about his creative process, his approach to writing lyrics, how he has a deep sense of place, and how "most of the songs that I write, probably 90%, come from true stories I've heard or conversations I've had with someone about their life or some part of my own life that I'm trying to sort out."

I'm also intrigued about Amanda Shires.
