Normally I don't bother with these claims of plagarism amongst songwriters, but I happen to be a big fan of Jason Isbell. As such, I follow him on Twitter and saw his tweets about his accusation that Dierks Bentleys' new song "Home" is a rip off of Isbell's song "In a Razor Town."

I went and listened and I can't believe that this won't have legs if Isbell really wants it to. He should at least be able to muscle his way into a songwriting credit on Bentley's latest hit.

Check out the story here, where you can find videos of both songs, take a listen if you're so inclined and see what you think.

I can't believe the similarities in the songs, and the chorus sounds like the same song with different lyrics.
 
They definitely sound similar. The Isbell song is much better.
 
pretty much a straight ripoff of the vocal melody. Doubt it's a coincidence.
 
You have succeeded in converting me to hate that song. I love Dierks, but I change the station each time it comes up.
 
Isbell is a huge braves fan.
