From the venue:
John Prine is a legendary songwriter, but he didn’t release one of 2014’s best albums. Jason Isbell, opener for Prine’s Sat., Oct. 18 show, did. After a post-Drive-By Truckers solo career with its share of peaks and valleys, Isbell found a sweet spot with Southeastern, a no-frills recording of exquisitely crafted folk and roots-rock that courses with clarity thanks to its maker’s recent marriage and newfound sobriety. Isbell deftly displays his knack for pairing cogent stories about life’s struggles and triumphs with elegant melodies that stick around like sweet Southern air.
