I just deleted tapa, and reinstalled. This is what I've been getting for a while:

Correct. CBS Sunday Morning had a nice piece on him this week:



Thanks for sharing that. Americana is right in my wheelhouse, Isbell is such a talent, incredible songwriter. Outlaw Country on XM and Slacker Radio are good for me, too.

I was a Letterman fan in college and early adulthood, and drifted away from it as he became a grumpy old liberal, but I always enjoyed his choices of musical acts. Here's a good article from the Wall Street Journal on his affair with Americana, with a focus on Isbell. Another local Shoals band, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, played Letterman (and opened for the Stones at Grant Field). Another group I saw at Terminal West in Atlanta, Lake Street Dive, caught Dave's fancy. Look them up.

@It Takes Eleven - I've read that article before. I can't remember if it was mentioned in there, but Isbell played at private parties out at Dave's Montana ranch a couple times.

The lead guitarist from St Paul and the Broken Bones also grew up just down the road from Jason and me. He was a bit younger, but he was an original member of Jason's band after he left DBT.

I saw SP&tBB open for Isbell at the Ryman last November. They were great.
 
Well, looks like I'm too broke to go back to Peru this year. Those poor families sure did need me.

Thanks a lot Hannibal.
