First Time Hearing Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - “White Man's World” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@jonahmainwaring8311]

I like how he wrote it about HIS experience and feeling rather than trying to tell others how to feel.

[@carlaharrington5120]

WOW!!! Thanks for this reaction and for introducing me to a new artist. You are never too old to learn. "There is no such thing as someone else's war"!! TRUTH!!!!

[@joshuawebb6694]

Enjoy the journey.Jason is a top notch songwriter and guitar player.

[@galenstone9097]

Isbell is as real as dirt.

[@samuelnation5300]

“Cast Iron Skillet” is a good one.

[@gordonpearson7494]

Best damn songwriter of his generation

[@Emilaria]

Jason is great. His wife, Amanda Shires, is also a great country artist.

[@pablozee6359]

Ex wife

If I had to categorize Isbell, I’d say Americana. Brandi Carlile, Lucinda Williams, John Prine. Acoustic roots music. My opinion only. 💜💜💜

[@pluckinmageetar]

The music industry has categorized Jason as "Americana" as he's won several Grammys in this category. But I wholly disagree that his music should be labeled as such. I feel the Country label has been hijacked by the industry and they are now fiercely protective of its own bastardization of the once proud, specific and obvious musical genre. Country music is George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams Jr.... Americana is John Cougar, Earle, Prince, Cash... IMHO Jason sounds a lot more traditional country than Americana....and today's "country" is pure shite.

[@dianel222]

@@pluckinmageetar Good book to read “Major Labels”. Discusses musical genres, how they developed & the tribalism encouraged. I love country music, and again “for me”, hear Americana as a subset of the broad term ‘country’. So many times I’ve heard, I hate country (Chicago native). Just tells me they have been manipulated by the labels. Country has been The Carters, Glen Campbell, Alison Krauss, Shania Twain, Waylon Jennings & Breland who (to me), are all different but still Country. Never one obvious sound. As history has shown, musical genres will continue to evolve & grow. People just need to be willing to listen & not use “genres” to close themselves off from discovering them.

[@stotes57]

See him live with the 400 Unit. They can rock out with the best of them.

[@michaelmitchell4080]

His ex-wife (recent divorce, sadly), the violinist, Amanda, as he referenced that 'Momma' wanting to change the Nashville sound. Perfect lyric in that Jason's always spoke ill of the Nashville "Mafia", the powers there who basically control what gets on country radio and what gets discarded. He's never been a slave to it. Yet, his Grammy awards keep piling up. F*&^ck Nashville, basically. You must catch Elephant, Children of Children (his autobiographical track), Cover Me Up, St. Peter's Autograph, Travelling Alone. And on and on. Be well. /M.

[@kathybrignac1709]

It would be nice to see a few more artists show the courage of Jason Isbell.

[@HD-er2cq]

Love that you guys cover all types of music. ❤

[@Mcrafi139]

The burial ground he mentions is the only spot in Florence that's still green and not concrete

[@KayBolinger-ec2vw]

I really like this! The music reminds me of music from the seventies. The message made me tear up! I hope to hear more from him.

[@toddrotton218]

Jason can write a song. Elephant. Some artists can't be put in genres. Some artists have their own sound.

[@brandon9909]

Elephant is his best song. Relatively Easy and Codeine are also excellent

[@JTfromMN]

What about Cover Me Up, Cast Iron Skillet, Yvette, Songs she sang in the Shower, Tupelo, Alabama Pines, shall I go on? ? But I do agree Elephant was a Killer song, but the Man has Hundreds of Materpiece choices 2 choose from cause he's a American Genius 😊😊😊

[@brandon9909]

@@JTfromMN cover me up and Alabama Pines absolutely! He’s one of those artists everyone can have a different top 10 for, he’s that good. White Berretta, What have I done to help, Save the World, and so many other bangers

[@michaelcorvin5891]

It's cool seeing KZbin channels dedicated to people listening to different Genres of Music....i saw you two did a reaction to The Highway men's Song Highwayman you should look up The Grandsons of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings doing a Cover of that exact song

[@stotes57]

His 6 Grammys are all in the Americana category, FWIW.

[@charlottedixon6628]

Lovin this song..❤

[@julianwaters7192]

Fire reaction guys 🔥

[@donnabannister793]

Lovinggg this music 🎶🔥🎶🔥 Asia & BJ❤🎸❤🎸

[@tylerhackner9731]

Interesting song

[@thevoid4060]

The sound reminds me of Sweet Home Alabama. Interesting cus the message is pretty different from songs like that. Its like he took that stereotypical sound and used it for a new meaning

[@Brian-iu7rd]

If I remember correctly he cut his musical teeth as a session musician at Muscle Shoals.

[@shanepn]

The genre is Americana

[@JTfromMN]

I think Jason was saying like the Late Great Ronnie Van Zant wouldve said Please dont judge all of us Southern Men by the Actions of the Evil ones 😊

[@Captain_Samerica]

Y’all NEED to check out Where Rainbows Never Die by Chris Stapleton. There is not a living soul with a better voice than him.

[@stephenpresley5772]

First time hearing this great reaction

[@AsiaandBJ]

Glad you enjoyed

[@RavenaDenver]

Jason Isbell is considered Americana genre.

[@SharonDoucette]

Asia asked what category does it fit? I think Rockabilly is the closest category.

[@jasonrichardson1999]

I would say more blues/folk music

[@johntyson]

Americana. Nowhere near rockabilly

[@johnsmathers190]

I have a request, It's going to take you out of your element. It's a song called Hate? It's by a group of Japanese women. They rock hard. I just learned about them and I was blown away.

[@andywright3450]

Hi guys can you play isley brothers please song called summer breeze thanku

[@fishtigua]

As a white boy from the Caribbean, all my sisters and cousins are of a darker thing. We really don't care.

[@PhilAlumb]

Sloppy virtue signaling

[@whoub4neway]

Such a disappointment ,..this guy is my cousin,..my name is Robert Isbell and I do NOT approve of this message,..I could go on but I just hope you (Jason) read this post,..I love you,..but you shouldn't have listened to these predators,.May the God that we Isbell's believe in forgive you and be merciful,..PS. without him you are nothing,..stay tuned
