Here's my take. Jason uses the term "Don't wash the cast iron skillet" as well as some of the others like "Don't walk where you cant see your feet" as a way to express that sometimes words of wisdom aren't hard and fast rules that should be followed. Then if you listen to the 2 story lines of the song, he puts real life stories that have to do with people that aren't willing to change or look at things a different way. The first story is about a kid who was shy and nice when he was a kid and grew up to be a killer and died doing life without parole, and the second story is about a girl who marries a black man and her father (who I'm assuming is a Southern man as thats usually the perspective Jason likes to write from) cant bring himself to let go of the racism he was raised in and instead never talks to his daughter again. This is an extremely impactful song.

The album this is on is my #1 Album of the Year, without question.

@CitroChannel

If you haven't, I would absolutely love for you to do a reaction to "King of Oklahoma", "Miles", and/or "When We Were Close" by Jason from his most recent record! It's another absolute masterwork album and full of amazing songwriting as usual from Jason Isbell!

@terrywoodyyc

Great choice Don, it's indeed a typical Jason, and really makes you think. I love that too. Thanks for the terrific reaction!

best songwriter of this generation

@YourLoyalDeserter

The fact that unlocks the meaning of this song is that you actually can wash a cast iron skillet. Old lye soaps used to wreck them and ruin the flavor, but modern soap doesn’t. It’s about the traditions many of us in the south hold onto even though they aren’t helping us anymore, even hurting us.

@Ben-O25

It's common wisdom in the South not to use soap on a Cast Iron Skillet because soap used to be made with lye and it would ruin the seasoning on the pan. Modern dish soap doesn't really hurt them but many people still don't use soap just because of that common wisdom. It's a metaphor for the Southern tendency to follow tradition just for the sake of tradition, sometimes to a fault. That goes along with one of the two storylines, the dad disowning his daughter because she dates a black man. I'm not exactly sure how it ties in to the other storyline of a childhood friend growing up to kill someone.

@mattgalardo2022

I know I haven't been commenting much lately, Don, but just wanted to let you know I'm still here watching regularly. Been a busy time in my life, but I still love your channel.

@jonbradley2920

It’s common thought in the south or country to never use soap on cast iron. The songs about a lot of common thoughts or sayings in the south. Her dad disowned her because she was dating a black man.

@ih8music

Yes, this one might take you 2 or 3 listens to get the complete meaning. It's about people being stuck in their old ways and common lines of "wisdom" that aren't really wise to follow.

@joemosman

Hey there! Joseph from Chattanooga here. I would love to request Strawberry Woman by Jason Isbell. Happy to pay a little for that reaction. You’ll love it!

@JoelWende

The dad abandoned her because she was dating a black man. That black man is the same person who is stabbed 27 times for the same reason.

@IdealBob

I like what a lot of the commenters here had to say. But I don’t think there are only two storylines. I think there are numerous unrelated storylines that all have to do with the same concept of folk wisdom that isn’t necessarily wise and assumptions that people live by that aren’t necessarily good for them or true. or just going along with things like “ask the Lord to save you though, you know that it’s too late”. Going through the motions. Not really reflecting on why we do what we do.

@worldwidewells7452

Southern half-myth. Don't wash the cast iron skillet. He drops southern maxims in the choruses

@PapaFixit

Once again, Jason takes us to the deep water. Deep. Cast iron is prepared for use by " seasoning" ...heating it with a light coating of oil. Practically non stick when cared for. If you wash it with soap you can remove enough oil to make it rust. It also begins to stick where theres no oil" seasoning". Keep it clean with salt and a little oil after washing it. Washing it undoes all the work you put in SEASONING it.
