Todd Snider Declares “War Is Over”; Says Jason Isbell Saved Country Music

The war between Americana and pop country is now over, according to Gonzo folk songwriter Todd Snider.

This week, Jason Isbell’s Something More Than Free sits atop the Billboard Country Music Chart, which for Snider is a metaphorical atom bomb raining down on the streets of Music Row.

Read the songwriter’s edict below:

THE WAR IS OVER – A PRONOUNCEMENT FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF AIMLESS INC.

JASON ISBELL HAS THE NUMBER ONE RECORD

I REPEAT
JASON ISBELL HAS THE NUMBER ONE RECORD ON THE BILLBOARD
