Wish I'd caught this one live. Jason Isbell is a national treasure! Amanda makes the perfect companion in life and music. Such a beautiful pairing.

[@kentuckie7228]

Congratulations to the family and the man holding the 10 years sober sign!!! Keep fighting buddy, we're all in this together!

[@bowby7605]

Every time a new album comes out from one of my favorite artists my initial react it "that was an OK album. Not great though." Then a week goes by and I'm singing every word to every song like they were written about my life.

[@jaymarks1]

Is it just me, or is this the best fiddle playing Amanda's ever done? Wonderful performance!

[@benchase4035]

It sounds so perfect and epic rolling over the lanes!!!

[@LRogers2806]

"And if your words add up to nothing Then you're making a choice to sing a cover When we need a battle cry" The world needs more Jason Isbell...

[@DavidGriffin-ww2fk]

Had the pleasure of meeting and hanging around a little bit with Jason when he was with the Truckers and early in his solo career. And he was always cool and laid back. Doesn't act in anyway like he's a big deal even though he's probably the best songwriter of my generation.

[@scott2575]

He was high as hell

[@Thelegendhaha]

It gets easier...... Jason Isbell always has the ability to find my tears

[@TravisMossMusic]

I've been an acoustic performer for 10 years, been playing for 25 years. The last few years, between people like Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, and Dawes has really made an impression in me. Singer/Songwriters are still relevant in this generation, and need to be heard more than the mainstream radio music we have on FM. I know that sound cliché, but it's the honest truth. I honestly thought the days of music like this were over.

[@jimmygaddis7275]

Jason and Amanda are just great people love the music

[@paulwilliams7700]

Love this couple. What a pair of genuine and loving souls.

[@applemanuk]

I love Amanda's fiddle playing. She adds such colour and texture to Jason's wonderful songs. I love the way that they bounce off each other musicially. Superb.

[@ClintonAllenAnderson]

I LOVE how CRUNCHY this show is! "Warts" and all, absolutely fantastic!!!

[@TheRaymiltier]

Everyone can take what they need from each of these songs, from childhood weirdness to love and recovery. It's been a long time since I found an artist that speaks to my soul and even though I am late to the party Im glad I have discovered Jason and his band of merry music makers. Thank you!

[@bfr123456]

By the 4th track of this new record, I realized he’d given us a masterpiece.

[@TheRaymiltier]

Bryan Reece indeed, it’s such an amazing album from such a real human being

[@joecoool100]

Oh my Holy goodness this music just takes me to a place in my mind that’s long gone save the memory’s and old faded pictures in a drawer that only I know about, .......so thick the memories, I have to wave them away....choked up I turn my head and my children ask me dad what’s wrong and I lie and say somethings in my eye......

[@nbbob23]

I have listened to several of the new songs as they trickled out . . . there were a couple that I thought stood up to his best, and I thought Cobb did a remarkable job on the production and the mix. But, somehow . . . then I listened to all the songs in the stripped down version last night . . . when the song is the only thing . . . and, these are, simply put, great songs. "Only Children" is remarkably great . . . Thanks to Jason and Amanda for a grand way to spend part of my Friday evening . . .

[@tacomalife5205]

Thank you young man and lady. I love you guys so much and it was so special to see you guys. This album is unbelievable. So great. I'm so happy to see you guys continue to care for the fans and family. Bless you and continued success!

[@grow2live252]

After all it's what we leave behind, a word is worth a thousand pictures I imagine in my mind, this life is what we make it with a heart that can see, a quiet voice in the darkness brings light to me. Thanku Jason and Amanda for the hour of freedom.

[@kevinzimmerman5470]

I have only recently discovered this amazing talent thru Amanda Shires musical involvement with the Highwomen. I was blown away by this record that came out today and was upset that I could not be around for this live performance. I am thrilled to find it here. I will make a delayed contribution to MusicCares. I love that this is the first show in this new facility! I am equally blown away by this performance. Thank you for sharing your music!

[@DanielOrtiz-wo2jr]

Look up Southeastern and something more than free... Good luck and welcome to your new addiction.

Daniel Ortiz The Nashville Sound is a fine album as well. Let’s not forget his solo albums prior to Southeastern and the three albums he did with Drive-By Truckers. All of it is great.

[@prinpak6]

Check out Ruston Kelly and Kacey Musgraves...they need to hit the road with Jason and Amanda and call it the Double Date Tour

[@genXrVT]

Better late than never! I discovered Isbell (and Shires shortly thereafter) in 2016 and he brought me back to life after my father died in 2013. I still feel that I found JI way too late!

[@jayhensley8187]

The only problem I have with this performance is, I unfortunately heard this before the album and 400 Unit recoding... and this is just on a WAY different level. This is legitimately one of the greatest performances of all time. Unbelievable!! The studio version is still phenomenal, no doubt but this right here is just magic!

[@badbusa2]

No joke, my lord 😍

[@steveheimberger]

I regret being quick to judge this album compared to Jason’s past work. I now recognize my musical pallet is not developed enough to fully appreciate a 41-year-old Isbell. A well-aged lyrical genius living his own version in his own Prime (both ways). Music and lyrics that reach the darkest recessions of the heart and mind, areas most have closed up, boarded up, pushed down deep inside to be forgotten - these songs plow through all those barricades and shine a light of truth and reflection. Not Barnum effect! If you are not ready for a journey of emotional honesty stick to the mind-numbing radio-friendly mainstream twaddle that Billboard top100 grants weekly tongue baths.

[@klimtklavier]

Dude, it's "palate"... not being a butt, but a musical pallet would be my music collection when they clean out my farmhouse after I'm dead or just given the old Dead Summer Tour life a re-try...

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

Eerie, I listened to the Reunions album Friday night, little did I know they were streaming it almost the same time...Crazy!! Love the album!! Bravo!!

[@hankflanker]

So awesome to hear Amanda's fiddle stylings.

[@spartakick300]

The dynamics between Jason and Amanda last night were special. Over all an unpolished gem of a concert/album release party that rocked the shit out of it. That's right I said shit and I say it again. Rocked the shit out of it. Hahahaha Was real real good y'all. Thought this was in the barn for a second because of the stained glass backround. Guess everything has stained glass down in Nashville, even the bowling alleys.

[@fairwindswellnesscambridge1667]

[@dustinwhitfield16]

I’ve been waiting on this record to be released for what seems like an eternity. There have been times in which I was so hyped about a new record coming from one of my favorites that I put too many expectations of the album & felt kinda disappointed by it. This is not one of those times! Reunions is another masterpiece from Jason & the crew. He has such a unique way of painting a picture with his lyrics & he’s at the top of his game. I’d love to be able to purchase this stripped down version as well!

[@masatoshishoji8271]

I became a fan of Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires. Sorry I haven't got into this field until recently. I've revisited California sound like Little Feat, Eagles, Byrds, and Linda Ronstadt and found Jackson Browne, JD Souther, Karla Bonoff and other musicians great. During that time, I found Brandi Carlile and found Highwomen and Jason soon after that. Now, I'm glad and grateful for your music. I will dig into more gradually. Thank you for your music. I would love to watch your gig in USA in future.

[@robrowden1018]

Amanda adds so much to these songs which are great btw...maybe Jason's best work love this

[@gavindavies1356]

Absolutely stupendous! This album is a real step up from Nashville Sound and that was bloody good. Overseas in particular is incredible.......Keep up the good work and hope Amanda Shires will be joining the tour when circumstances allow.

[@ChristopherNeill]

From Facebook - Songs... LMj has posted this, I believe, twice in the last 24 hours. I am sure I've already posted this song in the loosely tracked "Quarantine Songs" "challenge?". But this is a song that really stands out. It's the first song that made me perk up and take note of an obscure songwriter who was working at the time as a guitarist for the Drive-by Truckers. I put it on a 4-cd mix me and my siblings put together for my old man on his 65th birthday. Snuck it in somewhere between Jackson Browne and The Eagles. It stuck out like a beautiful sore thumb, and everyone, including my dad, took notice. Mise en scene - it's late July in Cleveland, dusk, and warm. The backyard is full of Baby Boomers and their kids. The playlist is filling the air in the backyard and the lightning bugs are coming out. "Goddamn Lonely Love" comes on, and you can see the reaction wash over the crowd - an interruption of an otherwise upbeat stream of songs that remind us of our dad. The song finishes and dad turns to me and my older sister, who is dumbfounded that I snuck a Drive-by Truckers song into the mix, and says: "well they can't all be happy songs, can they?" Brilliant.
