It has been a dozen years since Jason Isbell showed up at a party and left in the Drive-By Truckers’ van with two travel days to learn their songs. After 6 productive years with The Truckers, Isbell went out on his own and his solo career has seemed effortless since. Loud records, unrepentantly southern, resplendent with careful songwriting.

Estimated read time 2 min read

While the Boulder Theater was not packed for the Drive-By Truckers two-night run any newcomer could see that the band has a very dedicated fan base as most folks sang along with every word the Country Rockers cranked out.
