There's a warm wind blowing through the laundromat
There's a young man crying in a cowboy hat
He got square-toed boots, so he ain't for real
Wouldn't last five minutes on a pedal steel
I remember you at that place in Post
You were thick-cut bacon on Texas toast
Prairie dogs popping up to see
That strawberry woman sitting next to me
Strawberry woman sitting next to me
Monday morning, wake up slow
It was Friday night two hours ago
I'd sell the farm to see you smile
But it might just happen if we wait a while
I may go stay out in the woods
Some time apart could do us good
I've been to heaven in a Sixth Street bar
Strawberry woman and an old guitar
Strawberry woman and an old guitar
Well, the highway's straight and the night's so still
Barely have to touch the wheel
But it hurts to move and it hurts to learn
I just kept on going when I made a wrong turn
I remember you looking up at me
Drinking Irish whiskey on the Irish sea
And we walked through weather and we walked through time
Strawberry woman with her hand in mine
Strawberry woman with her hand in mine
I remember you when the bar was closed
Dancing on the table with a bloody nose
And you still look fine and you still look free
Strawberry woman with your back to me
Strawberry woman with your back to me

Try playing this after "Wittgenstein's Arm" by Neal Halstead ...

Bill, we need an "Alternative "Country" or "Americana" station. You successfully led me back to my rural roots and the country sounds I grew up with in rural Texas. I had left this way behind in favor of the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, etc. I shunned this music for years and rediscovered via a Californian (!) that country wasn't just Garth Brooks and other assorted main stream crap. Love Jason Isbell, Lucinda Williams, Chris Stapleton, and the list goes on and on.

The melody on this reminds me strongly of Carsie Blanton's American Kid, which is a great song btw.

This is nice. I loved Southeastern. I'll have to check out this new one.
The documentary about Jason on HBOMax is quite fascinating. Quite the drinking man he was, but always the superb songwriter.
Always a great show if you get the chance.
A very good album all the way around. His band sounds great and his lyrics are once again riveting. Check out the song “King of Oklahoma” from this album. I hope to hear it on RP!
This guy is amazingly connected to his emotions...and it clearly shows in the type and style of his songwriting. It just always sounds authentic....
New Jason Isbell 
I'll put this in the playlist as an 8.

Once again, Jason nails it.
Instant 8 for me.
I'll bet she is sure sweet, that Strawberry Woman
