In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Jason Isbell, , a four-time Grammy-Award-winner who’s known as one of the best songwriters of his generation. Jason Isbell was born to parents who were still teenagers in a small town in North Alabama, and as a result he spent a lot of time with his grandfather, who was a Pentecostal preacher and a guitar player. By high school he was immersed in the music culture of Muscle Shoals, and in his early 20s he was playing to sold out crowds with the Drive By Truckers. As a solo artist, Isbell has become known as a poet of the rural South who’s not afraid to speak his mind. Now he’s got a terrific new album called ‘Weathervanes,’ a collection of songs that continue his tradition of storytelling with an edge. They'll also discuss his grandmother’s cornbread, how to ring a chicken’s neck, and his experience as an actor in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming movie, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon.’
