Jason Isbell doesn't smoke weed any more, but he used to, so this kinda fits with the week's theme. He even alludes to his past in this song.
I went down an Isbell rabbit hole this weekend over a couple of adult beverages. For my money, the dude's the best songwriter going.
So enjoy 'Cover Me Up', which might be the second-best love song Isbell's ever written.

Ghostface can turn a phrase too but I won't argue with you, Isbell's a fantastic lyricist. I just need to see "Outfit" live once.
Yoodge day here.
i've got something for you, z.
i've had a full beard since early november. your definition of 'full' and mine may vary - it wasn't mark-esque, but my entire mug was evenly covered. i shaved it this morning.
most of it, anyway.
i missed a 'spot' along my jawline - if you define 'spot' as about the size of a dime. so i look a little like a werewolf in the early stages of transition, where the change is beginning from my lower left jaw. it's a strong look.

I left an interview in midtown today and a bird shat on me. Unloaded is a better word. I felt it on my head and saw it on my blazer jacket, shirt and fingers.
People like to say that’s good luck. I think they say that b/c the only other response is “you suck at life.”
Rob, did your Isbell rabbit hole take you back to his Drive-By Truckers songs?
If not, check out the aZmentioned "Outfit" first, plus:
Danko/Manuel
GD Lonely Love
Easy on Yourself
The Day John Henry Died
and Decoration Day, which we saw him play in Richmond
This song is tremendous. I don't have an urge to listen to straight singer/songwriter stuff much these days, but this is very good stuff.
