‘For all he’s been through and for the success he’s attained, Jason Isbell comes across as a man who’s both confident and thankful. His new Live At Austin City Limits DVD brilliantly captures Isbell and his 400 Unit’s music, for sure … but it also provides a very intimate look at Isbell himself in a very public setting.
From his greeting to the crowd (“I can’t tell you how happy we are to be playing here on Austin City Limits … hopefully you can just see it in our eyes.”) to his between-tune comments (“I grew up watching this show … I love this show. This is the coolest thing on earth for me.”) to the final thank-you, there’s no question that Isbell means every word he says. And every note he plays.’
Looking forward to seeing him play here in a couple of months.
