Isbell's songs are pure genius, plain and simple. He is as good as they get.

this is probably the classiest, most elegant song that falls into the "protest/tribute" category that I've ever heard. IMO, a beautifully told story is always more evocative & immortalizing than heavy-handed, bloviating, emotive commentary -- the mistake most songwriters make when addressing a subject like this.......fine work, mr. isbell.

IMO this is one of the best songs ever written.

great songwriter

I tear up every time listen. Semper Fi, Jason.

This is songwriting. Semper Fi

sad song but this is just proof that there are great singer songwriters out there. I would like to see someone like jason mraz write something remotely as good as this. thanks jason!

I love this.

@widespreadpanic Exactly. The way I see it, if you dont have anything to say, why open your mouth? Mraz is all love song, go surf beach bum fluff. Mr. Isbell, thanks for giving us music with actual content.
