10 years later, he somehow looks 10 years younger than he did in this video. Sobriety suits Jason - alot of artists are afraid to give up their vices in fear of compromising their creativity, but Jason just gets better and better over time.

I sang this song to myself for a solid year, stuck in Hawaii. “No one gives a damn about the things I give a damn about,” was fulfilled when I saw her across the bar in 2011. She did. She gave a damn about all of them. Within two years, she became the gasoline to my dreams - and I needed that damn woman. Still need that woman, the woman who puts a lump in my throat even after 9 years. I am completely changing my life to come home - come home to Alabama, come home to her, come home to an “us,” and come home to me. One step in front of the other. And I don’t regret a single thing I do or become, or a step on this path to being a better man - all just to walk with her beneath the Alabama pines. For so many reasons, this song will always be special. Thank you.

This really is one of the best goddamned songs ever written

The 400 unit is, or was, the psych floor of Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital in Florence, Alabama. It may have a different name now, but everybody always knew what the 400 unit was..

"No one gives a damn about the things I give a damn about" - Jason plucked that one right out my head. Perhaps my favorite Isbell lyric of all-time, and there are thousands to choose from.

What a triumph of the soul for this guy. He was neat the end and he pulled it out. Thank god he did. Hes the greatest songwriter on the planet

Sober looks good on you Jason. We love you more than you'll ever know.

What a beautiful cry for help, and what a beautiful thing that he found it. I love this song.

The 13 people that disliked this need to gouge out their eardrums out because they have no clue what good music is.

This song makes me really sad but makes me feel better about being sad. Hard to describe.

Not many as talented as Mr. Isbell. God blessed you my friend.

Im from the UK i know hes singing about Alabama but it reminds me when i go back home in the north of England where its rolling hills, sheep, farms and rivers

Sitting here homesick for home in the Alabama mountains and suddenly when I listen to this I don’t feel so alone

Haha. Love that he is listening to sport radio on 97.3 while driving. That's a true Bama boy right there.

Pretty much every one of his songs make me smile and tear up at the same time. What a songwriter!

The AC hasn't worked in 20 years, prolly never made a single person cold... but I can't say the same for me, I've done it many times.

Sometimes I lose the feeling for music. Then I hear something like this and it all comes back. Beautiful.

When I was young I liked this song because I thought it was poetic. Now as a man I relate to it and it hits on a different level.

I know these were dark years for Jason but I truly love all of his early solo albums as much as Southeastern and everything else he has done with The 400 Unit.

This guy's a genius... Southeastern is one of my all time favorite albums. ...a soundtrack to live and learn from heartbreak and mistakes. To end up with love

I stumbled upon Mr Isbell while wandering UKposts and he instantly became one of my favorite artist. Some of the best song writing I've heard in ages. Top notch

I'm from Brazil, but I love this culture and this songs, EUA is blessed by God.

Only 5.5K "Likes", and it was posted in 2011?!? What an injustice! This is a very lovely song, and I'm not even much of a country music listener. I heard this song in an episode of Yellowstone and had to look it up.

Great song, I will have to travel from New Zealand some day to see those Alabama Pines - must be quite something to see, to write a song about them. Real music.....

I am from Florence Alabama (Melissa Glaister) The name "400 Unit" means so much to me. Your music is so wonderful and brings me Home to the Father I love and miss and the memories the pine trees and Tennessee River

WOW, Last October I was in Talladega..drove to met up with a old friend in Jacksonville and got a fuckin ticket in Boiling Springs...true story what are the odds

Jason's music has a way of always saying the things I couldn't put into words. For that I'm grateful, and at the same time feel terrible to know he's also went through that pain. I hope your life's sadness is past you Jason, as you've helped so many of us get through ours.

I bought an MP3 player years ago from Argos, this song was on it, so glad.

A student of Rogers High School. My mother went there also. Same time as him. I'm in the marching band. This year we're playing this song in the halftime show.

Hate to admit it, but my UKposts mix put this song in queue for a month or more and I skipped over it several times to get to space city. What a beautiful song! God Bless you, Jason, for beating your demons. I’m 63 and had to beat mine a couple of decades ago or more I guess, and it made me a better man, a better Dad to my children. But a little more boring. They’re always around the corner. Stay strong, brother.

I love this song. I listen to it all the time. And every f****** time it puts tears in my eyes. Love your work man keep it up. Peace

Northern Alabama is gorgeous. Except that damn bridge on the Tennessee River...

Showing love from the U.K, England!

This is soul food

Fun fact I got to the same school he did, in the same highschool band, with the same band director... And for our show this year, we are playing this sing

No more stopping at Wayne's. Just drive on through, Jason.

This is 10 years old? How am I just now discovering this?

859 people give a damn about the things I give a damn about

"Done it many times". So fucking true.

In music, you live in the eternal now. With music, you are always alive.

View 49,000 ! Way to go, Jason! Hope to see you win a Grammy soon! Should have gotten one for "Southeastern". Does anyone else feel that way?

Im first find this song in a new MP3 that i bought in 2012, and it have been one of my favourite song.

I absolutely love y'all, and your music. Being from the Shoals myself, it reminds me of home. I only live an hour away, but I don't get to go home as much as I'd like.

This a true singer song writer. Love the music

Your awesome brother! You and your wife are a lovely couple. I grew up in those pines myself yern for them to this day home is were mother is she is no longer there .

11 years later still a banger

Long drive home all by myself on a dark and lonely road......and happy

My folks are from Jacksonville Alabama. Good to hear J-ville mentioned. Go JSU Gamecocks!!!!

Just found this... wholly shit... speechless. Isbell Rocks

I live 25 miles from Talladega, Jacksonville and Boiling Springs. I would love this song regardless, but that makes it more special. I have seen Jason in concert. It was great.

This song is pure gold.

Thanks a lot for such beautiful music in this stain music age

I Love, Jason Isbell❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I remember those runs to Wayne’s.

That's the real country music. Who is agree with me?

Got this song as a sample in Philips #GoGearMix mp3 player. Loved and enjoyed...Good music, period.

Such a beautiful song! Used to hear it all the time in Nashville last summer. Now im back in Cleveland and I never hear it any more, almost forgot about it!

Six days. I cant count the number of times ive thought "but this time" im not doing it again. The last few weeks is a jumbled slideshow in my head. Im 45, an addict most of my life. This wasnt my first od but im not going back. And yea, this aint the first time that ive said things like that. But this time im surprised because i believe what im saying. Im not trying to get my wife off my back. Im not trying to bargain with myself or anyone else. I KNOW. Its finally more important to me to stay breathing than it is to escape from the pain. The people who love me deserve to be loved back and i havent been doing a good enough job of that. I could go on. My first sentence says it all. Sorry for droning on.

The most underrated song of all time. My favorite song!

I love Robert earl keen, and I’ve just discovered isbell. I appreciate his originality and thoughtful lyrics. I’ve needed a younger singer songwriter to follow now that rek is slowing down

This video keeps me sober

He seems to be singing about my life.

Wow...after following him for 10+ years never really saw actual footage from his pre-sober days, I LOVE this song, and this video really really brought things from those pre-sober days to life. Makes me love him that much more.

He went to my school down here in Alabama

Showin sum love from the ATL.

Makes me long for were I grew up in those Alabama pines

thanx to Yellowstone and Dutton family for bringing me here !

My new favorite band ! Jason ... you got it bro !
