On the heels of my conversation with Jason Isbell, I'm revisiting one of my favorite episodes from the archives - acclaimed filmmaker and former music exec Brian Koppelman talking about how and why he fell in love with Jason's album 'Southeastern'. What insights did Brian glean from his own chats with Isbell? What is is like to discover one of your favorite albums in your late 40s? How does this album help dispel destructive myths about creativity? What emotions do these songs provoke live? And which Australian singer/songwriter is Brian currently blown away by?

Each episode features a different songwriter or musician discussing their favorite album of all time - their history with it, the making of the album, individual songs and the album’s influence on their own music.Jeremy Dylan is a filmmaker and photographer from Sydney, Australia who has worked in the music industry since 2007.

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.
