Jason Isbell - When The Well Runs Dry

Jason Isbell live at the Pourhouse Raliegh NC Jason Isbell, formerly of Drive By Truckers, plays a new song, not really on any album I'm aware of at the formerly annual Tres Tangled Truckers show that starred Kevn Kinney, Jason Isbell, and Caitlin Cary. The song, I'm guessing, is 'When the Well Runs Dry' but if you know this song, then, feel free to correct me and I will change it. It's apparently about an artist who self sabotages in order to make art. Very interesting premise for a song, really.

This song was on the bonus disc that came with some copies of DBT's A Blessing and a Curse. It always confused me that it was better than any track that was on the album, yet it was tossed on a bonus disc that few people ever heard.

Now that is some insight! Thank you so much. This was actually recorded when Dirty South was just released...I just took a stab at the name.

Well, you nailed the titled, Bud. Good call. Oddly enough, Jason says in this video that this was written by a friend, but the cd sleeve credits him as the writer. I thought maybe if it was a cover, that would explain why it wasn't included on the album...but who knows.
