A grown up dose: Something More Than Free by Jason Isbell

Jason Isbell had what some might call a good dilemma. The singer/songwriter went and put himself dead in the center of the Americana music scene with his love affair-inducing 2013 release, Southeastern. The problem for Isbell, of course, is how could he follow up something that good? Something More Than Free faces that challenge by being its own kind of great. It's a warning shot, letting us all know we've got ourselves a high-caliber artist working in his wheelhouse. Simply put, this is a dang fine record.
