Jason Isbell On His New Documentary, Co-Starring In Scorsese’s ‘Killers Of The Flower Moon,’ And Journey From “Idiot” To “Non-Idiot
from his home in Tennessee. “There’s the kind that the artist is comfortable with, and then there’s the kind that’s not boring. A good documentary should be something that makes you squirm a little bit, because we’re all fallible human beings.”I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco
In addition to playing fiddle and singing backing vocals in Isbell’s band, The 400 Unit, Shires is also juggling her own career as a solo artist, and making music with the star-studded supergroup, The Highwomen . In the film, we watch — fly-on-the-wall style — as Isbell and Shires clash over minor stylistic issues, like audio levels and dangling participles, while writing and recording in the studio.
“I always like to show a film in person, but in this case, because of the pandemic, it was not possible,” the director explains. “Amanda was working in a studio out of town, and Jason was home. So I sent them a link simultaneously. Amanda was live-texting me through the whole time she was watching. Finally, when it was all over, Jason sent a text that he loved it, and that it was great. And I was like, wow, they don’t have any notes! They are going to accept this thing exactly the way it is.
As confident as Isbell is on a music stage, he wasn’t so sure about seeing his image on a 70-foot cinema screen.
