Too much information? JasonIsbell believes opening your life to fans builds a stronger bond. His new album, Weathervanes, is out June 9.
The singer-songwriter and his wife, fellow musician Amanda Shires, open their lives for public consumption in a manner unusual even to artists who mine their own world for material. Through interviews and a film out this spring, they have documented a rough patch in their marriage and how Isbell's drinking almost destroyed his career before recovery redeemed it.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service Shires, a formidable talent in her own right and founding member of The Highwomen, also plays violin in Isbell's band, the 400 Unit. Director Sam Jones' film,"Running With Our Eyes Closed," shows tension building in the marriage largely through Isbell unsuccessfully dealing with the pressure of making his 2020 disc,"Reunions." Shires briefly moved out of their home.
Her 2022 song,"Fault Lines," deals bluntly with marital troubles."You could say it's all my fault we just couldn't get along," she sings."And if anyone asks, I'll say what's true, and really, it's 'I don't know.'" Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires, shown here 2019, are an open book when it comes to their personal lives. - Associated Press, 2019 Filmmaker Jones said Isbell agreed to make the documentary with no preconditions -- and held to it. They became part of the process through the pandemic, when the couple filmed scenes at home with their daughter themselves.
The film deals in some detail with Isbell being fired from the band Drive-By Truckers because of his drinking. Thanks to Isbell's manager, who had squirreled away footage in case her client had a relapse, it includes clips from Isbell's last, unhinged performance before going to rehab. A consequence of the forthrightness is that one of the first things a listener wonders upon hearing his new song,"Death Wish," is whether he's writing about Shires. The song deals with loving someone who has mental illness."Did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop, higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top?" he sings.
