Jason Isbell showed up at KEXP with 400 Unit’s Sadler Vaden and played a session that dropped Monday. Isbell has been making up for lost (covid) time, fleshing out a full tour schedule for the rest of the year and putting out a Georgia-centric covers album (Georgia Blue) last fall with Brandi Carlile and others sharing vocal duties.
