Jason Isbell performs "Last Of My Kind" (July 3, 2017) | Charlie Rose

[@normsylvia]

Jason may feel like he's the last of his kind, but at 80 years of age I'm right there beside him. Bless him for putting these feelings to music so very well!

[@grantstevens8099]

And God Bless you, ma'am... I'm 30 and your comment really resonated with me.

[@MichaelSmith-xk5dg]

Well said, Mr. Duke. He is an old soul.

[@MrTomomahony]

im doing it asap

[@ricknielsen4910]

This is a song that will be timeless bless you and your 80 years of life

[@wlgj1341]

He does do thot exceedingly well but, my friend, a 75 year old wrote that story …however, I wrote it when I was considerably younger…

[@MattRosemier1]

If you get the chance to see him live, DO IT. He's ace on stage.

[@alanplummer]

First time I saw him live, blew me away with that voice. Powerful!

[@mr.jazzbodkelsey58]

Saw him 3 times! Each was better than the last. I saw him once at the Monterey fairgrounds in 2013 and felt like he was singing for me that day. Maybe it was the LSD tho... Haha

[@Jaden5Seven]

Can confirm. Man can sing.

[@Amethys12]

Very true!!

[@heidihudgins4793]

I’ll probably just cry the whole time. He gives me goosebumps

[@irvingdog01]

The audio tech deserves some kind of award for this one. Clearly, Isbell is an all-time great guitarist and wonderful vocalist as well, but that can all get lost quickly in a live performance. This one was absolutely amazing

[@lokruth9769]

yea and the vocal microphone has no popscreen,,,really great job

[@joethompson1501]

One of the if not the best song writers of all time. True poetry for the soul...

[@TexasJackdaw]

I’m certain that Jason is not the last of his kind. Because, through his incredibly deep compositions - he is teaching those who come after him what true song crafting is. I’ve said it before, Jason Isbell is the James Taylor of this generation.

[@365-g6v]

I was trying to figure out why I like this. Yep he reminds me of James Taylor.

[@TheJerseydevil69]

I was recently reintroduced to this song by the show Yellowstone. Great show with great music lists. Incredible story told by this song.

[@MichaelSmith-xk5dg]

Best songwriter of a generation. Disagree or not, but he is the real deal.

[@Travisbryson1978]

Jeez this is rock solid....

[@nomadjeff1922]

I think many people my age relate to this (I'm 58 today). I sometimes feel like "I'm the last of my kind". Maybe we all feel that way at times, especially as you age. It hits home because guess what is on the farm I grew up working on? A Wal-Mart ("Walton's Five and Dime")and an Interstate.

[@zeeknollie]

Happy late birthday. I'm turning 59 soon. I remember my mother saying not long before she passed that she didn't feel like she belonged in this world anymore. Now I know exactly what she meant. This song is a masterpiece. Thank you Jason Isbell.

[@samuelvogler3250]

If it makes you feel any better, there are young people who still relate too. I'm doing the college thing right now, and finding a lot of truth in that line. Chin up. You ain't the last, just close to it.

[@sammyscotch9945]

You should be entitled to a discount at that wal mart

[@JohnNathanCO]

I didn't have much trouble in college. And I didn't grow up on a farm. But at 61, yes, I can relate. Jason's lyric is of isolation, of independence, of feeling apart, feelings I'd venture to say are more or less universal at this point in history. And he delivers the question so plainly, so maturely. No malice, no pride or defiance, just: Am I the last of my kind? Really great song.

[@reidreynolds7428]

There’s people in their 30s that feel this way

[@bradleyt.5901]

I don’t know how to play guitar, but thank you Jason for singing a song that speaks for our hearts in words we can’t express.

[@afduke89]

And people say good music isn't being made anymore. They must of never heard of Jason Isbell.

[@dlawless88]

@jamesaustin8711 Absolutely. And those who are gifted need to work hard as well; watch his documentary writing Reunions. Not many have that kind of patience and drive. That's a gift.

[@NedBailey-b2y]

Im 27 and I've felt this way my whole life. Grew up working outside in a small town with guys in their 70s and 80s. Didn't realize how different this world was. How empty and devoid of substance it can be. Meaning, depth, roots, conection, family, morality have all been abandoned in favor of cheap consumer shit and matetial gain. The cities can be dark places. The American dream had morphed for many into a nightmare.

[@FalcaoPS]

Souls!

[@johndee1493]

I've been listening to Isbell since he was in Drive-by Truckers... He is (in my opinion) the best songwriter I've ever had the pleasure of listening to... This song makes me want to be a better person... Don't "Walk right passed em like they ain't even there" I promise... Helping people who really need it, is the most beautiful thing we can do and after you do you'll feel so good... Nothin feels better than doing the right thing... Believe it.

[@bellevans]

I love "If We Were Vampires." Whoa.

[@TheWartHawg]

I feel this song deeply. Been working the same job for 27 years for what was an exceptional organization with an outstanding clientele. Almost overnight it has changed, and not for the better. All of it. Then you have the social "progress" that is wrecking the west. I'm lost in trying to make sense of a world that has lost its damn mind.

[@michaelmccauley648]

Have had the good fortune to have seen Jason 3 times, and the 4th is coming up next month. I’m an old folkie who has loved Dylan, Prine, Waits, Lightfoot, Van Zandt, Joni, EmmyLou and their art for the last 50-some years. None of them has a thing on Jason Isbell. He is easily the most interesting contemporary artist and poet in the music industry. However, there are others who are attempting to improve the state of Country music out here, but they tend to fall under that all-encompassing umbrella of “Americana”. If you want to here some ungodly songwriting and acoustic performances that will floor you and reinvigorate your hope for our future musical legacy, give a listen to the songs of the following artists: John Moreland, Tyler Childers, Mary Gauthier, Colter Wall, Patty Griffin, Brandi Carlisle, James McMurtry. This is only a partial list, but I’m certain you’ll discover these people have something to say and you’ll enjoy how they say it.

[@terrywright1513]

I heard this on Yellowstone today,, now for the second time..... same episode. This is so beautiful. While we all everyone, its not possible, fit this song to a T, but boy can we relate. Thing is, this one is me. We live in times where "our times" are so quickly forgotten and the world is so angry. My personal feelings are we all need to reflect and pick out only the best from our growing up an forgive the bad. THAT WORD, 'FORGIVE' 3 letters dropped change it to 2 and maybe just maybe that might be necessary to do as well. FORGIVE & FORG.E.T. then there is this in that word, FORGE. FORG, I.V.E. the past FORG,E.T. the bad disagreeable FORG,E. new memories and GRACIOUSNESS toward the souls upon this earth. Beautiful song. I hope everyone that hears it can relate and respect somehow. God bless you for the recording.
