What Jason Isbell does isn't complicated, but nor is it easy. Live, both the jangle and the soul in his songs was apparent, with an understandable lean towards the rockier end of his catalogue - a fair bit of which he covered in this set, which was also a reminder of how consistently concise and good are the songs that he writes, with basically no filler.
In a pretty big bonus, Allison Russell was the support act, and was good as expected.
