Jason Isbell - Last Of My Kind Lyrics

there's no disc jockeys any more . they were influenced by the stuf they recieved. it's how bands got past regional notariety

How can you not like this?

Yellowstone

Mainstream music and radio really sucks these days. Give me some Sturgill, Isbell and the like. Last vestiges of real music.

Search out your local college radio stations. WXPN in the Philly area and WTMD in the Baltimore area are good choices .

I'm here because of Jason Isbell

Cool guitar

This song and Chris Knight’s “That’s What I’d Do” is the reasons my friends are always confused when I give a dollar or 5 cigs at a time or one of my beers to a less fortunate person. Trust me, buddy. There’s a good amount of us. Unfortunately the cynical and ruthless are much more common. We’ll always have something they don’t though. Big hearts and happy souls.

Anybody else catch the melody of "In spite of ourselves" by John Prine?

Yes Jason, you are...

I love every one of his songs.  What a presentation...puts you right in his spot whatever song he sings.  And, yes, I caught him immediately on Yellowstone.  Great.

"Ima a city born kid dreaming of the Texas plain, an old soul leaving the city and what it stole, going back home to where my daddy was born, Houston aint where Im going..but Im headed to my Texas home..my Texas home, goodbye California..Im going home, to Texas..my Texas home"

Something I just wrote. This dudes song reminds me of where I am moving soon.

#yellowstone

Absolutely pristine

Yellowstone brought me here too. Love the song and music!

It amazes me how morons can give a beautiful song such as this a thumbs down, wow, they just don't have a clue what great music is

Yellowstone!!!

Yellowstone brought me.

No. You aren't the last. Not yet, at least. But we're a dying breed _Tempora mutantur_

Yellowstone T.V.Series brought me here. Good choice!

Unfortunately, this audio is mono.

I used to hate comments like this show/ commercial brought me here but i think its great. It reaches so many more ppl. Marketing genius technic really.... and it doesn't make the artist a sell out imo

Awesome song!! Ending Song for the Hit Series Yellowstone on this episode 7-18-19

just seeing how many came here cuz of Yellowstone...

Just WOW.. heard it on Yellowstone TV show on Paramount Network and was blown away

Main stream radio is junk..
Pandora !! American Radio & Bob Schneider Radio play him all the time

Yellowstone brought me here so happy 😀

Love his sound ! Discovered him a couple years ago. His poetry is so soulful !

Me too, just now

Season 2, episode 4

I’m here because of Yellowstone, best show on now!

Same here, and I agree!

Me too!

Jason Worthen I saw it was renewed for a season 3

that's the reason for my visit too. thoughtful lyrics!

Small world

Yellowstone brought me here.

Yellowstone comments coming. hehehe

The depth of this artist takes my breath away... More than not his lyrics resonate on such an emotional level, brings tears to my eyes.

I used to sing this song to myself during difficult days in jail..

Man this song hits home...I grew up in a small town in SC and my old man played in bands for 30 years. He was primarily a drummer and his and now my biggest pet peeve is playing in a bar and people clapping off beat (on the 1 and 3) ha...that along with everything else rings true with me.

This guy...mastered the art of fingerpicking. Reminds me of my dad. A skill I have tried to pick up but neglected to do when my old man was still around. Listening to him takes me back to when I thought it was all in front of me. Love it!

Just great! JI has been at it for many years now, through DBT, 400 Unit, lots of stuff, and all really good. A very specially talented musician and artist. (Hope he's also a decent guy - donno. Heard he was a total jerk in the old days)

Radio deserted us 30 years ago. Thank God for the Internet and " Americana " music. There is so much real talent out there. You just gotta' look for it. Jason is my very favorite artist that has emerged in the last five or six years. Check out Sturgill Simpson. I am an older guy, child of the sixties, but two of my all time favorites who were carrying the torch and should have received much more recognition are Steve Young and Gary Stewart, both since departed but their music lives on. Check'em out. You won't be sorry.

Liberal whiner

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.

If this dude thinks he's the last of people who live for outdoors and last of people with good morals then he is dead wrong. Come to were I live and you'll see a lot of people like that. Seems like he really thinks a lot of himself. Just saying hes not the last person with good morals and living a good country lifestyle. We dont gotta write a song about because we live it every day. I guess he's got a family farm so he's rich as shit

I don't think that's his message at all. I think he's just speaking to the fact that the group of people with that mindset are getting smaller in proportion to the rest of the population. Song writers write songs for people to identify with, and see part of themselves in. From what you just wrote, it sounds like he hit the mark with you, because you sound like you live the way the song speaks to. Mission accomplished.

Oh my god first time hearing this “everyone’s clapping on the one and three”

Just discovered Jason recently. Glad to know the genre is alive and well. This dude is awesome!!!

GOOD, REAL GOOD

If you give this song and Jason a thumbs down..u have no heart or soul for music! This man is not only a awesome singer he paints a picture with his voice!

Love this song. Love this performance. Amazing how Jason conveys the words with such a quiet intensity.

All that plus a whammy bar

I like the characters in his songs. Very discriptve

"Daddy said the river would always lead me home, but the river can't take me back in time, and Daddy's dead and gone." My dad and I use to go camping on the river all the time. He's been dead for about five years now. This song really hits home.

Like John Prines "In spite of ourselves." Jason is amazing.

Aside from the lyrics, this music sounds just like Rich Mullins - Boy Like Me/Man Like You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYVCe_8XJX0

I heard this on the radio for the first time tonight (small town radio station)
The guitar sounded almost like a mandolin.

Who in Hell would give this a thumbs down?...... Florida Georgia Line fans?

Fucking love this

I've seen Jason twice in venues of 2500-3000 or so. I would love to see him at the Birchmere in Alexandria Va. (500 seats) or maybe the Ramshead in Annapolis ~200 or so. I saw Gregg Allman there about a year before he passed. Saw John Hiatt with Lyle Lovett at the Birchmere and that was wonderful.

This sounds like Jon Prine wrote it .

He is the best songwriter and performer out there. He's also funny as heck. Follow him on Twitter...

As much disdain as I have for Charlie Rose's conduct, this is just to good a performance not to applaud.

Man the lyrics. Makes you feel tired of the old world.

"the underground trains all run in reverse...everyone here's clapping on the one and three" holy shit

Like the last of the good red wine or single malt. Never get tired of these songs. Hope you come to Canada soon!

Wow pretty bad ass looking Guitar

Only Jason Isbell can play a robot as a instrument and make it look modest

I feel so lucky I happened to see him on AXES TV when they were airing the Stagecoach festival a few years ago. I've been following him ever since. One of the greatest poets and musicians of our time.

My favorite one man band!

You're not, I've got your back

Just was introduced to Jason Isbell by my son who was at his concert in Utah last night. He sent me this link and I love this song so will for sure be listening to lots more. I am 83 yrs old, love most all music with a message and words you can understand. Not very much of that in the " new country stuff". Thanks for a great, meaningful song.

This reminds me so much of John Prine, thank you for getting me through this life with your Art.

You're not the last, buddy. You're at least second to last.

A poet.

Amazing song and performance. Now that I know he's from Arkansas I can't help but see and hear Bill Clinton in him 😊

Hes actually from Alabama. Lmao.

An understated genius at the height of his powers. Proving again that you don't need to shout to be heard :o)

such great talent..................

There is no one better right now

Jason must've,heard about me.
The Way iSee things.exactly.exceeds
All.Beauty in Mindset.Writes.creates

This guy and Tyler Childers are the best things you never heard!!!

Love this tune.

Who are the 54 soulless assclowns giving Isbell a thumbs down?

Russian bots

What is he playing don’t recognize it

Come visit us in Canada !!! Owesome !

Best songwriter around today!!

what a fantastic song from a fantastic performer.

36 hours to come back down...been there. Never going back.

Maybe IAM the last of my kind.
Time will tell

great music

I showed this to my girlfriend with questionable music taste she shed a tear and went back to listening to god awful shit like Florida Georgia line I guess she's scared of the feels

Sweet lyics!!

Who is giving thumbs down to this? I am seriously saddened by humanity on a daily basis. Such a beautiful and real song.

Jason’s not the best kept secret anymore. He’s becoming a legend and rightly so. Completely amazing

The future of music is bright

Damn you got a nice big dose of Amphetamines bro....bet they’re not laughing now.

This reminds me of a John prine song I think?

Does this remind anyone else of John Prine? I say that as a compliment. Another Isbell masterpiece!

Yes- I hear it too.

Amazing Jason

Thumbs down this song if you don’t appreciate great music

41 thumbs down, must enjoy their beats on the one's and there's!

Sometimes I feel like that. Everybody clapping on the 1 and three, so uncool. Seldom find anybody anybody who understands 2 and 4. Love the guitar. Bet it sounds real good with a slide

Reminds me so much of John Prine. I love it.

Does anyone know what happened to the Drive By Truckers sound in Country? Like so many other groups including Son Volt it gets lumpped into Americana genere. Maybe that's not so bad after all..

I've finally found a contemporary artist with loads of talent. Similar to Dylan with a new kick - REALLY good!
