Lead nominee and recent Nashville emigre Jason Isbell won song of the year for "Alabama Pines," a melancholy salute to his former north Alabama home that he wrote while feeling homesick.
"I think if you live right, good things happen," Isbell said. "I don't really see that as any mystical or magical reason, but if you make good decisions, life goes better, you know? And for me not drinking was a good decision. Settling down with somebody and not chasing women all the time was a good decision. And I was at a time when I could actually do those things and live with them and be satisfied with them."
