My Favorite Album with Jeremy Dylan30 Sep 2016

REPOST - Jason Isbell on The Rolling Stones 'Sticky Fingers', what he misses about the Drive By Truckers and meeting the Boss

Reposting one of my favorite episodes to celebrate #InternationalPodcastDay

One of today's most renowned and skilful Americana singer-songwriters, Jason Isbell, talks about a 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 the album, how 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 Jason, the Truckers and 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.

My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music. 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.
