I might have had a few beers before and during the show so my recollection of the show probably isn't the greatest. Jason played most of his new album and included a few Trucker songs: "Never Gonna Change", "Danko Manuel" and set closer "Outfit". The highlight of his set was a searing cover of Talking Heads "Psycho Killer". As long as Jason Isbell keeps putting out albums and playing shows, i'll be there.
I had seen opener Centro-matic last year at Austin City Limits festival on the main stage so it was a bit odd to see them all crammed on the Bottleneck's stage. I am also a big fan of their latest album, Fort Recovery, and was happy to hear a handful of songs off it. They don't have a lot of stage presence but Will Johnson's voice is so mesmerizing you don't even notice.
