Song of the Day (49): Something More than Free – Jason Isbell

Song of the Day (49)- Something More than Free by Jason Isbell

Isbell ang this at the Democratic convention, on Monday, standing along on the stage, just him and his guitar.

Raised in Alabama, he’s a born rebel and who has travelled a hard road, joining the Drive By Truckers till the drink became too much for everyone to take. He’s survived and keeps recovering, finding an empathetic voice that sees the humanity and hurt in his fellow countrymen.

First heard him live at a side tent at the Newport Folk Festival, transfixed by how vulnerable he made himself, yet only the strong can be that vulnerable.
