Encore: Jason Isbell on World Cafe
Weathervanes is the name of Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit’s 2023 album, and it is a record of powerful songs about everyday people. On the next World Cafe, Jason Isbell talks about what draws him to write about people that others may judge, and how the more difficult the topic, the more he personalizes the song. Plus, Jason performs live recordings of songs from Weathervanes.
