    Was lucky enough to see him right after he left the Drive-by Truckers. It was a small bar in Philly. The cover charge was $5!! We stood RIGHT in front of the stage. Will never forget that. Have seen him a bunch of times since then. He is an amazing human and a brilliant performer.

    This was the song that got me to listen to another Jason Isbell song, buy an album, then another . . . I don't do that kind of killing work anymore, but Something More Than Free broke me out of my shell a little bit and let me really feel how much I admire my dad, who gave enormous chunks of his life and his health to a corporation with a factory where his father and his brother worked, then found new ways to make a living and keep contributing to his family when the company abandoned the factory and moved out of town.
    Honestly, I kinda miss The 400 Unit on this version, but if I had to give a speech on get-out-the-vote efforts, I guess I wouldn't want to follow the full band tearing the place down, either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      @@loganfisher3431 Define level.
      Isbell’s vocals are nothing compared to Stapleton’s.
      Nowhere close, levels apart
      Isbell’s guitar work is mid. Far from a virtuoso
      Isbell’s songs are not musically complex. Basic 4/4 stuff with standard structure and simplistic melody
      What is it about Isbell that justifies such a lofty rating from you?
