Jason Isbell - Brothers In Arms - Ryman Auditorium, October 20, 2019

First encore, night three of his Ryman residency.



Well done.

Nice cover, especially the singing. Also like the tone from the Les Paul.
Do you think it's one of Mark signatures?

Wasn't Jason a guest at Mark's show in Nashville?

I guess I've answered my own question:

Very weak cover imho, also 5:27 totally ruins the song.

This guitar is known as Red Eye and was owned by Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Just listened to his version. I got to say I like it very much... And you know why. Because he's not trying to sound like MK and just do whatever he can/wants.

And to tell you the truth, I like when Brothers is done the hard way... Mark's version for the last 20 years or something are subtle and quiet, and it's cool.

But sometimes you really want this song to blow the roof off a venue! And it did. It's not MK Signature LP it seems, people say it's real 1959 Les Paul.

Interesting and shows that great guitar will always remain in the hands of great players. Wonder where Mark's guitar will go after he's gone.

Excuse me for my morbid curiosity in action, but this performance gives me very odd feeling. Usually you get random artists to cover famous songs when somebody dies (like Mark did with News, his own song but still). But with that said, I want more of Mark's songs to go into the world, they deserve that.

Well that version rocks!  I like it and I don't enjoy many covers.

This was outright terrible. I know he's going for his own thing, but the vocal delivery just seems wrong. And the guitar tone is awful. Sounds like a cheap amplifier (which it certainly isn't). I like Isbell - a great player, singer, songwriter and artist - but this did not hit home.

I loved it! But as an Isbell fan I am really biased.

Sure the fills and solos aren't near MK's by a galaxy. But if you like Isbell's thing, you'll enjoy it.

I get warm on the inside knowing there'll be other great musicians to pass the torch.

I'd prefer the original over this. But, then you can wonder how many years we'd have to wait for Mark to do a Jason Isbell tune on stage, so I give him two thumbs up for doing what your hero doesn't have the balls to do
