Never heard him mention his mother, every interview discussing his roots is about his brother and pops, wondered if she was even around. 

He talked about her on a podcast interview this winter.

It sounds pretty complicated.  She bailed on the family when he was pretty young and had some serious mental health and drug problems.  But he credits her for his artistic gifts, and loves her fiercely in spite of that.

Probably what @Al_4_ISU is talking about:
 

 

The whole interview is really good.  I'm sure there are mixed feelings about Bert (I think he's funny but I don't take him too seriously), but the interview may have well been between his wife and SWJ.  She's pretty fucking cool.

I'm rewatching the doc about Isbell shot by Sam Jones ~2019.

Somebody tell me -- besides being hot and weird, does anyone think Amanda Shires is actually a good fiddle player?  She has this reedy tone and is consistently off pitch.  And weird.  But hot.

That’s the one.  I like (don’t love) Bert, and get why some people can’t stand him, but he definitely has a way of making people comfortable and getting honesty from them.

she's not that hot. She looks to me like a pain in the fucking ass.

She looks gorgeous to me, and also high-maintenance. 
She helped him into rehab, though, so those are permanent points in my book.

If anyone wants two wristbands for tonight's Two-Step show let me know, I can't go and the dumbass who said she'd take them via a neighorhood listserv never showed.  $400 of tix down the drain.  I'm not selling them, I'm giving them away, and she still bailed with no notice.

I hate people.
