Jason Isbell Interview: Husband-and-Wife Songwriting Teams

Singer-songwriter Jason Isbell visited the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's exhibition "We Could: The Songwriting Artistry of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant," and shared his thoughts on the Bryants and some experiences he has in common with them: writing songs that stretch the bounds of genre, and writing songs in a husband-and-wife team.

Isbell was a key member of alternative southern rock band Drive-By Truckers before launching a Grammy-winning, CMA-nominated career under his own name and with his band, the 400 Unit, which features his wife, Amanda Shires.

Country Music Hall of Fame members Boudleaux and Felice Bryant composed hits that spanned decades and were recorded by artists across a range of genres, from the Everly Brothers ("Bye Bye Love," "All I Have to Do Is Dream," many others) to Grand Ole Opry star Jimmy Dickens (“Country Boy”), Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame members the Osborne Brothers ("Rocky Top"), and rock group Nazareth (“Love Hurts”).
