I told you a few days ago that Jason Isbell’s new album is one of the best of the year so far. Well, now my wife agrees with me. So it must be true!
And just to prove how fantastic it is, I am posting a show from his recent tour, celebrating this wonderful record.
The show is Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit from April 8 in Florence, Alabama, and it features what I think is their first time covering “Hey Pocky Way,” as well as their “usual” cover of Talking Heads and less-usual covers of Springsteen and Hendrix. Hendrix? Now, that takes balls.
