Jason Isbell US tour opened last night, he's betting big on the new record Weathervanes

[Hugh_Lebowski]

Setlist is posted ... and he's literally he's playing the entire new record

From Southeastern and Something More than Free ... only 3 tracks. Little saddened by that (I have tix for 7/11), though I do love the new album. Cover Me Up, Stockholm, and 24 Frames are the ones he's playing. Was definitely hoping for a bit more from those 2 records, but ... I'm sure it'll be killer anyway.

And 0 earlier songs like Alabama Pines or Dress Blues or Tour of Duty, nor any Drive-By Truckers. Gotta give him some props for refusing to rest on his laurels.

The one cover is Honeysuckle Blue from Sadler's previous band Drivin' and Cryin' (though he was 3 y.o. when it came out lol). It's a pretty good song though and fits their milieu perfectly. I'm sure Sadler's played it many times before, live.

1. He usually mixes things up a bit

Probably see some more older stuff creeping in as the tour progresses. Wonder if Jimbo being absent is part of why it's so heavy on the newer material - limited time to rehearse with his stand-in (who is filling in?). And is Amanda with him?

4. Looks like Volunteer, White Beretta, and Strawberry Woman are out of the setlist to past two shows

Some other songs that have popped up are Super 8, Dreamsicle, and last night OUTFIT (woot!).

I'll take those three instead

2. I haven't found a bad thing about Vanes yet

Great record

3. For sure!

There's a few I could've lived without in exchange for some older stuff all the same.

And there's a LOT of songs I'd pick over Overseas from Reunions, hopefully he mixes it up in that spot. Gimme some Dreamsicle right there! I'd imagine the Stockholm spot will vary as well. I'd prefer Flying Over Water there if I only get 2 Southeastern songs

Still ... totally stoked to go!
