Jan 14, 2016Happily, the words are wonderful and Something More Than Free is an album that grows and grows on you. Producer Dave Cobb is in fine action again and gets the best from the settings behind Isbell's effecting voice. Some of the songs are simply splendid.
-
Jul 14, 2015Isbell isn't your average songwriter, and on Something More Than Free, there's a pretty strong argument to be made that he's outplaying anyone else in the game right now.
-
Jul 15, 2015Still walking the high wire, with Something More Than Free, Jason Isbell continues his streak of genre-defining masterworks.
-
Jul 13, 2015What Something More Than Free does best is confirm that Isbell is a rare talent, one who doesn’t need a major life event to inspire him to make great music.
-
Jul 24, 2015The achingly good Something More Than Free, captures the mix of excitement and fear that comes when the sun rises on a new day.
-
Jul 16, 2015A couple of songs, like How To Forget, are well written but not quite interesting enough musically. Still, this album proves that Isbell is still one of the best songwriters in his genre.
-
Jul 14, 2015Isbell is obviously familiar with the music of the region, yet Something More Than Free sounds nondescript and--worse--placeless.
