UPDATE:

This account is the consolidation of both @AustyTalksMusic and @billsby40. This change was prompted by the formation of my new music promotion outlet, Midwest Music Musings (@mwmusicmusings).

I’m thrilled to be back in the music promotion business; more to come on that.

@hayd650 What if I said I agreed with you, but I put Stapleton in that same company with a slight advantage?

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@Kamakazi152 Back to ask which lyric it was, because I was curious earlier but I’m dying to know now.

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

Chris Stapleton is both a more talented vocalist and a better songwriter than Jason Isbell.

Fight me.

@Kamakazi152 (love the wedding ring idea though)

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

Chris Stapleton is both a more talented vocalist and a better songwriter than Jason Isbell.

Fight me.

@tfoster957 I don’t know that I had a point, I was just bored on the internet.

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@cpj1 The IMO was implied

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@RadioFreeAla Maybe not today he isn’t but he definitely does his fair share of whining on the internet

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

What this guy said, except not literally because I can’t say that.

[🖤 @d0n1942]

@austinsbasler Jason isbell is such a corn dog ass nigga he just whines on Twitter all day it’s CRAZYYY

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@KWhipperwill Maybe, but that would be because Stapleton has humility - a word Isbell has never heard of

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@yimmykil @gabarner Barner I love you but I’m with Jay here. That being said there might not be anybody between those two and Felker that isn’t named Childers

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@SteinerHereford @A412Paul Hahaha no arguing that. It’s almost mutually exclusive.

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@Mobwife3 Yeah the songwriting claim is so subjective it’s hard to argue it. But I do stand by it.

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@SteinerHereford @A412Paul Those things are all be true but at the same time Isbell is a royal douche. Like, he’s as much of an arrogant prick online as he is a talented musician - elite level.

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@EGVines @pdr5978 @MCMTDoesntSuck I also think Isbell is a hell of a musician. Couldn’t name someone I think is a better songwriter besides Stapleton.

This was more Pro-Stapleton than Anti-Isbell, believe that.

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@EGVines @pdr5978 @MCMTDoesntSuck Oh my overall perception of Isbell certainly plays a factor but that’s Jason’s fault moreso than mine.

I also fully believe that people that see his personality and attitude as a positive use that as grounds to exaggerate his musical reputation.

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@WayneJohns76608 Absolutely and did not mean to imply otherwise.

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@sathomas58 🤝

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@riverduck80 Stapleton is just a bit better.

[Austin Basler @austinsbasler]

@riverduck80 I love the enthusiasm but I don’t particularly agree with that. Isbell is a hell of a songwriter.
