In a selfie Jason Isbell posted Nov. 9 on Twitter/X, he looks fit and healthy. His new smile looks great, too.

“Finally I can tell you all- the teeth were in preparation for my role in Killers of The Flower Moon,” Isbell winking captioned the pic. “I prepared for 40 years. These my real teeth.”

In a following tweet, Isbell, a Grammy winning folk/rock musician from Alabama, clarified, “I had bone loss, severe infection and neuralgia, and without the repairs I wasn’t gonna be singing much longer.”

He then posted, “Like I don’t know if I mentioned this in any songs or interviews or whatnot, but I’m a recovering alcoholic from Alabama. It should really make sense to everyone.”

A steady stream of fans then commented their support for Isbell, who’s followed by more than 440,000 people on Twitter/X, taking care of his dental health.

Isbell, who grew up in Green Hill and Muscle Shoals and now resides in the Nashville area, has lots to smile about these days. He’s been sober for more than 10 years. In that time, his career has flourished. In addition to a run of acclaimed solo albums, Isbell, a bar/club-level act pre-sobriety, now headlines amphitheaters and other big venues.

His personal life’s flourished too, including a marriage to acclaimed musician/songwriter Amanda Shires with whom he shares a young daughter.

Isbell’s known for his lyrics, as heard on signature songs like “Cover Me Up,” “If We Were Vampires” and “24 Framers.” His guitar prowess is also becoming increasingly recognized, as heard on his latest album, “Weathervanes.” In addition to his four previous Grammy wins, Isbell’s work recently received three new Grammy nominations.

Before going on to solo success, Isbell was a member of punk-tinged Southern- rock cult-heroes Drive-By Truckers, for whom he wrote and sang notable songs like “Decoration Day,” “Outfit” and “Goddamn Lonely Love.”

In legendary director Martin Scorsese’s new epic “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Isbell takes on his first significant acting role. He recently threw out the first pitch at a playoff game for his favorite baseball team, the Atlanta Braves. This year, he also helped revive late night TV after the writers strike and played lead guitar on an iconic ’90s band’s first album in 22 years.
