One of today's most renowned and skilful Americana singer-songwriters, Jason Isbell, talks about the classic record that helped inspire the genre - The Rolling Stones 1971 LP 'Sticky Fingers'.
We talk about how growing up around Muscle Shoals Alabama got Jason into the record as a child, how the album shows the Stones maturing as a band as they entered the 70s, why the self-destructive lyrics of 'Sway' resonated with Jason as he endured his own struggles, what he misses about being in the Drive By Truckers, which song from 'Southeastern' was inspired by the Stones, how the Stones used their business acumen to assert creative control and whether authenticity matters.
Plus Jason reveals special moment when he met Bruce Springsteen recently backstage at New Orleans Jazz Festival, and we argue over the merits of the ganjo and producer Dave Cobb's wardrobe.
