Jason Isbell’s devoted fanbase as encompassing such a wide variety as “emotional hipster kids, hard-bitten Nashville guitar players, brainy suburban moms,” and boy, did they drag me to hell with that one. But, his latest album with his band the 400 Unit, is another great one. While “Do It Anyway” is really a better song for our current moment, “Dreamsicle” better captures the vibe of our pandemic summer to come.
The words of the chorus—“Dreamsicle on a summer’s night in a folding lawn chair/witch’s ring around the moon, better get home soon”—are evocative of an idyllic Southern scene at first listen, a slice of hazy perfection. But it’s a deeply melancholy song, from the perspective of a teenager whose parents have just messily split, who longs of turning 18 and escaping.
