    Everything connects emotionally and musically in front of an enthusiastic crowd on one of the year's best and most vibrant live albums.

    As an official live document of what this guy and his compatriots are all about, I'd rank Live From Alabama among the great concert albums.

    With the benefit of a song selection cherry picked from his Truckers years to his most recent solo work, he and a never-tighter 400 Unit make the best album-length case yet for Isbell as one of America's most underappreciated singer-songwriters.

    The results might qualify Live From Alabama as something more than a way station between Isbell's last studio record and his next one.
