Got a text message from @thelastdj.dm last week asking for my address. Go to my mailbox yesterday to find this 180 gram vinyl of Jason Isbell’s “Live At The Ryman”. If you’ve listened to the podcast over the past few years you know my affinity for Mr. Isbell’s music. I featured his music in our very first episode. And, I’ve been lucky enough to see Isbell and the 400 Unit four times at the Ryman over the years. Wonderful surprise and a nice addition to my collection. Thank you Dean. If you love vinyl, check out his Instagram page. (Brent) #JasonIsbell #RymanAuditorium

Most notably, the band Listen, with Robert Plant making his recording debut on lead vocals, released the song as a single in November 1966.
