Hell yeah! Thanks for letting me crash your newsletter, Christopher. It was a lot of fun. I was really close to "Shit Shots Count" being my 5th song. It was on the list of contenders.

Really enjoyed this. Was fortunate to see and shoot Isbell’s reunion with DBT at ShoalsFest in 2021 and have photographed both bands numerous times.
