Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound (June 16, 2017) Album • Page 28

Congrats man! If my gf and I ever take that step it'd probably be "Cover Me Up" for us

 

He was incredible last night. One of the best sounding shows I’ve ever seen.

 

The Outlier: Why Jason Isbell Won't Stop Speaking His Mind

 

This pic and the comments are the best

 

Semi-unrelated but Jason Isbell is the best follow on Instagram simply for his Stories of his daughter. The other week she was stomping around in Air Jordans singing "tip-toeing in my jordansssss"

favorite family in music

 

i saw him at jazzfest yesterday! he’s great

 

She is effing adorable

 

His beard is looking A++. I'm already jonesing for a new album.

 

Hear Two Unreleased Jason Isbell Songs For The First Time

 

I feel like not having the Petty covers on there is a missed opportunity. Hope there's an EP or bonus tracks or something. I'd pay good money for those.

 

I'm sure it sounds great, but that tracklist is kinda boring as someone who's listened to the last three albums a ton already

 

Yeah that tracklist is super boring actually

 

I don’t own any Isbell on vinyl (yet) but the premise and art of this had me thinking it would be an easy first, until I saw the tracklisiting. Damn.

 

I mean, all the songs are great, but yeah, don’t really feel the need to pay $30 for this.

 

I have to agree. I'm a huge fan of Jason Isbell, and I'm sure these songs sound great, but that is a really underwhelming tracklist. I'm kind of left scratching my head that these are what he decided to go with for this.

Looking on the bright side here - any videos I've seen of them playing Super 8 have greatly improved the song over the album version. So there's that I guess.

Edited to add that I think its bumming me out a little not having any of his absolute gems from some of his earlier albums on here. His last few albums have been absolutely astounding but he's simply never put out on album without at least a few amazing songs on it.

 

The argument there, I think, is that those songs/albums are already represented on a live album.

 

True . True. I do have to say that a guy like him trying to narrow down which songs to pick for a live album is a little bit of an embarrassment of riches type situation. He just has so many good songs.

 

Yeah but he played six nights at the Ryman and did whip out some old songs (even one or two from the seemingly forgotten self-titled * gasp *) so why not expand the track list a bit, make fans happier and probably charge more too? I for one would like to hear some recorded renditions of the pre-Sadler stuff with Sadler seeing as the last live album had Jason as the lone guitarist.

 

I have a Live in Washington DC bootleg from 2015 that I quite enjoy to listening to. The version of Elephant he played here is amazing. The whole thing is actually great.

01. Super 8
02. Stockholm
03. Tour of Duty

Edit: Minus Super 8. I hate that fucking song.

 

I have a bootleg from one of those shows that the album is from that sounds pretty good.

 

Apparently he debuted a new song live last night.
