Crooked Road and I Hope Somebody’s Loving You are out today. Try not to cheat on your woman try not to cheat on your man. I’ve been on tour a long time. I’ve spent so many days weeks and months away from home and encountered so many beautiful people on the planet and this just

With that many witnesses saying "they did nothing wrong" and the kids clearly complying, how hard is it to lower your weapons and deescalate?

I actually think she took a smart approach to it: how can you claim to love our troops and vets, who survive off our tax dollars, if you don't pay them.

It's only reinforcing stereotypes with people who inevitably cling to stereotypes. It's exhausting for black people to have to constantly accept abuse and not bite back because finger waggers who don't deal with racism are worried about 'the greater good.' I'm fine with this

It all mattered. If a family is hanging off a cliff by a rope and ten people slowly pull them up, does it matter who pulled the hardest? Does it matter how much they get paid to pull?
Today is National Adoption Day. When I was 14 years old and very troubled these two lovely human beings welcomed me into their home and raised me as their own. It gave me a new lease on life. I am forever grateful to Walter and Rose Willis ❤️RIP

It is a great honor to announce that my album “Please don’t be dead” has been nominated for a Grammy! 2019 Best contemporary blues album. If you have not heard this album please go to stream it buy it or steal it ❤️

Ok … so how would people respond If on the same flight Muslims got up and started singing praise Allah songs ? 😂 a worship battle ? And that may be priceless to witness.
Well my brother

I know you’re smiling down on this again I wanna thank you so much in the short time that I knew you for being so real so genuine and so loving
Thanksgiving day for me every year marks the anniversary Of surviving a near fatal accident. The accident left me in a coma for three weeks and permanently damaged my playing hand. No matter what we believe in Giving thanks is always a good idea. I love ❤️ most of you
I want thank every artist musician and engineer that contributed to the creation of my album "Have You Lost Your Mind Yet?" also everyone at the
@RecordingAcad
for your votes and your support.
I am very very grateful to receive a nomination for "Have You Lost Your Mind Yet" it is a massive honor !! It is a very difficult task to produce an album of work and to be recognized for it is beyond words thank you very much
@RecordingAcad
This is a very slippery slope for me. In my heart I know that I have achieved these things by the support of the people. I mean the people that stood on the corners with me. I mean the people that tipped me at the BART stations.

“Highest Bidder” is the first single and video off my new album and 40 minute film “White Jesus Black Problems”. My seventh generation grandmother was an indentured, white, Scottish woman who formed a forbidden union with an enslaved black man. This is their story. A love story.
I remember feeling like an alien. I was told that I was too old. I was told that my sound did not fit into a genre. I was told that what I was doing would never work. I remember not caring what anyone said & deciding to be true to myself. This is my story. Always

I just said the same thing but you said it better. Also, no one has the right to incite violence. That's literally law, so...
Freedom of speech is a good thing. journalists are not a threat to a democracy nor the enemy of the people. they are an essential necessity. Authoritarianism is a threat to freedom. I am jumping on a plane to Europe to keep reminding the world of this

just said blues people find me too rock. Rock people find me too soul. Soul people find me too rock. I am glad 😎I think my fans are very very unique special people that think outside the box like me✊🏾

Man it hurts to see this. That man is thinking about his job and has to keep his cool. He did the right thing. Let these hateful people expose themselves, but I know he's gonna be in a rage for a month because he had to restrain himself.
What I decided was I'd be happier not being in the confines of a corporate infrastructure producing music. That's when I was free. It opened up the door to have a different personality. That's really when I had success in my music life. I was able to license my music.

Yes the camera angle makes it look worse. But the image of a black man supplicant to a white man is gross as fuck. He's still kneeling as less-than. It portrays superiority.
Do you see statutes of women kneeling to men who granted them the right to vote?
White Jesus Black Problems is out today. I had a really good time making this record during the pandemic. I find that when we are challenged this is when the opportunity to learn reveals itself.
Prince was a hero. He was the brother, the black man that was a little different. As a kid, you thought, 'Wow, he's different. If he can do it, I can do it.' I read that he was self-taught, so I started teaching myself to play the piano.
What are you doing in quarantine? I got together with some of my friends around the world and we made a music video together check what people are doing with their spare tine
Happy Birthday to Leadbelly, Federico Fellini,

Some of you remember I was the guy playing on the street. 25th and Broadway. Colonial Donuts. The BART stations. I was the guy that wouldn’t take no for an answer. I am one of you. I am your neighbor, your brother, your friend.
20 years ago on this day I was going into my third day of unconsciousness from this world. Sometimes the end of one thing is the beginning of another. When I lost most of my ability in my right hand it afforded me the opportunity to explore different ways of playing.

I don't know how someone could have such a strong desire to kill someone in a situation like that, even if they're racist. I guess that's the point of racism, there is zero logic behind it. Turns a citizen into an attempted murderer.
this man has been a supporter for a while. in the current state of music, or in my current state, it's people like Isbell (and others) who help keep this mission alive. Thanks to all who support musicians
The new record is here stripped down, naked, raw, I just can’t stop telling this story of my 7th generation grandparents. Electric band acoustically or through film. It is inspiring to me. I hope that you will unplug and dive into this reimagined version of

We owe so much to Tiny Desk. They gave us a shot when no one else would. Our music was outside the box of everything. For me that encapsulated the very spirit of Bay Area artists. Think different. Be different. Be original.
