Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit – June 9th – The Larimer Lounge

Estimated read time 5 min read

Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit took a crowd of Southern Boys and Hipsters on a real roller-coaster ride of pretty epic proportions as they thrilled us with amazing, high energy rock and lulled us gently with tender country flavored ballads that tugged at heart strings. The setlist cherry picked many of the gifted songwriters best tunes and reached all the way back to some of the first ones he wrote during his days with The Drive-By Truckers.

While songs like “The Crane Wife,” “The Rake’s Song” “16 Military Wives,” and even a Fleetwood Mac tease were highlights of the evening, Meloy was in rare form as he took every opportunity to crack a joke and even attempted to insight a feud between the Denver and Boulder residents in the audience.
