Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit: Live From Alabama
Lightning Rod
These live tracks are taken from a run of shows in Jason Isbell’s home state of Alabama over the summer. The melodic, raspy voice and narrative singing style that brought him recognition with the Drive-By Truckers is easy to get used to. These songs fall under an Americana style, but vary in subject and in speed. There’s the more country-influenced ballad “Tour Of Duty,” about a veteran coming home from war, and then there’s the funky, horns-drenched cover of “Heart on a String,” showcasing The 400 Unit and Isbell at their collective best, exploring R&B and blues as well. More of the latter would be better and it wouldn’t hurt to let loose a bit more, but Isbell is one great storyteller, no matter what he’s doing.
