The man’s had a rough couple of years, mainly caused by the dissolution of his 10-year marriage to Amanda Shires. Given that many of his songs have been inspired by or about her, one might wonder how he can still perform those lyrics.
The songs on ‘Foxes’ could be interpreted with different muses as the focus. But that’s the beauty of Isbell’s songwriting—like all great artists, he leaves space for listeners to find their own meaning and emotional responses in the gaps.
