Score: 70.91
Jason Isbell was a guitarist with the Drive By Truckers from 2001 to '07. He's been a solo ever since, putting out a style of country-influenced rock, reminiscent of Jackson Brown and the early Eagles. This isn't my usual diet, but it's got a laid back, homey kinda feel. The second song on the album Go It Alone is absolutely smokin'. And Codeine is a country classic (fiddle, lost love, etc.)I don't seem to be as high on this as the critics, who generally loved the album. But I do really like it.
Full disclosure: I went to see these guys a couple weeks ago in San Francisco (at the Great American Music Hall, with my good friend Bill White) and had a great time. It probably favorably influenced my opinion.
