My paternal grandmother was (nee) Isbell, and represented the "plantation" branch of the family tree. Apparently I had an uncle (with some "greats" inserted here) that was responsible for the 1st casualty in the Battle of Appomattox Courthouse. Family lore was that he walked out on his front porch, evening before the battle, and saw a Union spy sneaking into town across his front yard and ran back inside for his shotgun. Was that plantation in the Shoals area? Love the family lore. Quite possibly less interesting than the truth, even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty place (though completely inactive) that I got to visit once (camping) before Dad and his brother sold it. Just thought, enough generations back that family scattering might have occurred. ETA - The surrender was presented at the Isbell-Bocock House in town. Edited June 26, 2017 by AUld fAUx@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and the Drive-By Truckers are all from that Shoals/Colbert County area. Certainly possible that his people made their way down from VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 This one is probably best characterized as a "one hit." Might be considered somewhat minimalist (?) but the reverbs/echoes (?) were such that 6-7 groups on the beach with their portable radios coincidentally tuned to the same station could fairly faithfully recreate the old drive-in-theater SurroundSound effect.

A long show but goes way back to his childhood. As good as his music is he is entertaining to hear just talk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the Daily Show the other night and Trevor Noah said basically that he would pay money just to listen to him talk. And, crap, how could I forget that it's North Lauderdale County. I've only heard the man say it about a dozen times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many, many thanks (if, for nothing else, an excuse for playing hooky for a good part of my day). Surprising, the number of shared experiences, considering at least a full generation and an entire (north/south) state of separation, and he pronounces "Isbell" properly! (this is the one I googled up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA9944tWDzE) Mr. Maron got a little tiresome before the interview? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were both on the late show with Colbert last week. I expect they probably did another one. You can slide past the entro part. He has one with Patterson Hood too. They talk about Isbell a good bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost 452 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Met this guy while in the Badlands. We were pretty well at each scenic site together. He had an green Alien man he was using to take pics with which got my attention. We exchanged names and talked a good bit. He is from Nashville, has a syndicated radio show...He produced this song about his trip to Devils Towers.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
