Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

[Dtknuckles]

I mean not for nothing, I really only like five Mac n cheeses, Kraft original, my moms from like thirty years ago (as she got older she started making something more like Mac n cheese soup which was GROSS), this little old lady at my parent’s church made a good one, my wife makes a good one and mine. Beyond that, I’ve never gotten people’s love for it.

Oh man I’m just talking a quick butter and Parmesan sauce on some pasta. If you really want to get fancy blend some thawed frozen peas.

Prove it

Well my kid last nigh asked me “what are we having for dinner pizza.” I said hell no, we are having beef in wine sauce, polenta, and sauted asparagus. It went well with the episode of Kipp we watched.

Naw man. Pasta and Parmesan is not mac and cheese - it’s good though.

Yea I get you, but it’s much better than that boxed stuff.

The original box scratches an itch though.

I will take all the Velveeta, Kraft Deluxe, and the OG Kraft dinner off the food snobs hands.

If I am feelin’ fancy I might even cut up some hot dogs and add a splash or two of Frank’s Red Hot.

Here's mine...
After many efforts of listening to different material, newer and older....I just don't like Jason Isbell.
I'm guessing I'm way in the minority on that take.

I saw Isbell once, at The National's There's No Leaving New York festival at Forest Hills, in 2018. I knew nothing about his music, other than many friends love it. First song I was, wow this guy can play! By the end of the second song, I was counting down the seconds until his set would end. 4th song, I was ready to stick an ice pick into my ear drum.

I like a song here and there, and think he's a hell of a guitar player and writer, but I can't listen to an album. Just can't get into his voice.

That's the thing, I realize he's talented and I was prepared to like him...just never clicked.

I own a few Drive-By Truckers albums and zero Isbell solo records. I have liked every Isbell album I have ever listened to, he is an exceptional songwriter but I have never felt the urge to buy any of his albums and I rarely stream any of his music. It’s enjoyable but it fails to pull me in.

That being said I appreciate who he is as an artist and as a person within the realm of mainstream country music and am happy any time him or Sturgill or Childers have success.

I like Isbell quite a bit. I feel his music holds a certain amount of truth not found easily today and he himself is an integrous individual. However, I only own his 400 Unit stuff. I like the odd song on his solo albums, but they're just a touch too country for me (24 Frames is a bop tho)

This is pretty close to my take on him too. I love DBT, but don't care for Isbell's solo albums as much. His song writing is excellent, but other than Southeastern (and Georgia Blue, but that doesn't really count imo), none have pulled me in like DBT does.

Sturgill

Now we're talkin. That's my not-hot take - I love Sturgill.

Those are the “big three” right now for mainstream popular country artists that sell a lot of albums, get nominated for lots of awards and yet never receive any airplay on mainstream country radio. I own the first two Sturgill albums and Childers debut none of their more recent stuff has pulled me in but I am very happy that all three exist and are successful.
