Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires Perform “Cover Me Up” at Country Music Hall of Fame

[@badmoonrison3777]

All the people that are commenting that “Morgan Wallen did the song better” are completely out of their minds. Morgan Wallen basically made this beautifully written song by Jason Isbell into a top 25 pop country song. No one and I mean NO ONE sings this song the way it’s supposed to be sung except Jason. It’s about pain and addiction and finding the love of a woman and sobering up forever for her. Morgan Wallen can sing. But he can’t sing this song the way it’s supposed to be sung. Only Jason Isbell can. End of story

[@larryst-amour1108]

Fair but Morgan does an excellent cover never the less.

[@davematthewsfan]

Without question. You nailed it.

[@TheSlowe001]

Amen!

[@johnwells39]

100% agree. Wallen does a good cover, but you can feel the emotion Jason put in this song because he lived it. Beautiful, beautiful song

[@grilledspaghetti]

Yes. He took a song that made me look at country in a new light after 5 decades of avoiding it into a typical sounding Nashville country hit. He's very talented, but his version doesn't pull the old heart strings.

[@ericwalden9347]

Isbell is the most profound songwriter of this generation. I fell in love with him when he was with DBT in my college years and realized that the Trucker's peaked with him, yet when he left, he continued to develop as a singer, songwriter and musician. Amanda compliments him so well or should I say, they compliment one another. Isbell's music carried me through my darkest days my daughter passed and my life became a wreck fueled with iv drug addiction, alcohol and whatever else I could find that made me feel better for the moment. The line, "days when we raged we flew off the page, such damage was done. but i made it through, cause somebody knew i was meant for someone" was prophetic in my life 5 years ago. I listened to it daily as I pulled up another shot, thinking the end was near for me....Now, 4 years clean and sober, i realize that message had meaning and I am remarried, had 2 beautiful twin girls last 4th of July and graduate grad school tomorrow with an MBA and a Master's of Science in Leadership. I know it wasn't just music that carried me but there are days where I don't think I would have made it without it. Thanks for doing what you do with such power and conviction. Your music has moved my soul~

[@kennymartindale3257]

Eric Walden wow good for you. What great story👍

It was Jesus who carried you through brother. Heartaches, broken pieces, ruined lives are why He died on Calvary. He came to reconcile that which was lost and to reclaim it.

[@ericwalden9347]

@@markhrabe I absolutely agree but there was certainly a time through that where I firmly believe He used music to minister to my soul.

I am sorry for the loss of your first child. My heart goes out to you, but I rejoice that you found a way out of the dismal abyss of despair. Keep your eyes on the bright and morning star, Jesus Christ. Take care.

My brother loved you. He had tickets to see you in Richmond but was too sick to go so he gave me and my husband his tickets. They were up close, way closer than any tickets we could afford. Anyway, it was the best concert we’ve ever seen. He died in July 2023 but every time we play your music we are comforted in a way that’s hard to explain in words. So thank you ❤

He has heard this song, I think it gets to him, because when it plays he turns it or leaves the room, I cry every time I hear it, this is the perfect song. And it is a very tough road to stay on , but I pray and have faith that one day this terrible addiction will be over. I dont want to lose him, definetly not over an addiction.

Jesus man! Such a beautiful song backed by that soulful voice! Yeah Jason... I think she and every other woman with a heartbeat would be humbled(and wet) to have this song written for them

[@qubigirl2706]

This song reminds me of the love of my life, he stole my heart 5 yrs ago. One day we will make our way to each other. I'll never give up!

[@uvcoach42]

If you gave this a thumbs down may your socks recede to your toes every time you wear a pair. For the rest of your life …

[@cccnieh2468]

my favorite performance of this classic

[@kdemasi]

I love this song and it fills me with the love I have for my dear sweetheart, who is so far from me these days.

[@tbug8166]

Jason you keep singing with that passion and there's no way you will fail ! Tisha from Virginia

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

Well I am glad I liked this as well as the cover of it BY Home Free ! - as when those boys do a song - they own it. Oddly enough I like the tenor herein by Jason ..... though it is rough and powerful for a ballad .... the H.F. method is sweet harmony and a baritone register lead vocal By Adam Chance - a three Register Vocal Talent .... that could have done it higher but, Chose for effect, I imagine to brood N' mood the feel of it. Both are great versions - Kudos to Jason for a great melody and killer thoughtful lyrics ! GBjj

[@maryesp7547]

Powerful songwriter and performance....I never get tired of this song and Jason/Amanda

[@aaronperry8971]

In my opinion, the thumbs down votes are for those that disagrees with the truth of his words is songs like "White Man's World".

[@mmar161]

Amazing how so much pain can be so beautiful

[@marthacain1468]

Love, the purest of waters never runs dry...Serpensliber, I knew you were enough, drink these tears, from me~I'll catch up...

[@savannasingersongwriter8985]

One of my absolute Favorite songs. 😍

[@donnyj9250]

Behind every great love song. ..there's an even greater woman thats served as inspiration.

[@ryanfrancis3028]

I’ve been a fan since it was $10 a ticket to see Jason-as a songwriter myself-I almost wish I’ve never heard his songs. I love them but they piss me off because they’re so good! 😮

[@chuckHart70]

So? He writes bad ones too. Keep writing!

[@VoxGothica]

Ryan Harvey I know that feeling mate. It’s difficult to live up to your own expectations when the songwriters you admire are Isbell, van Zandt, Springsteen, Guy Clark and so on.

[@gregoryfortenberry741]

Same here, keep your head up and pay attention, we gona learn alt from this man. Shit I like everything he’s done even back in the DBT days

[@edlegette9753]

what a great song ,what a great performance of this song.

[@janiecebender4660]

Gives me chills every time I hear it!

[@jenemerson1223]

Just found his music. Dammit man

[@crobarus]

Way back when young people had a clue, this song , and these two would have been huge. So goes the country

[@oboe1212]

So true

[@missmymountain]

It's a good thought, that I hear tossed around a lot, but I don't think it's true. Take look back at the hits over the years and you'll find nothing like this there either. The majority of the most popular music has always been oddly bad.

[@WriterMikeMonson]

I don't know, this song is very popular and kind of brought his career to a new level.

[@Benjamin-om3ih]

ah, your one of those 'back in my day' types. Theres plenty of young people that dont listen to top 40 and there always will be.

[@crobarus]

You may be right. Getting away from country check out (way off track) Supertramp Crisis what Crisis. Absolute genius , even though it's not country.
