Jason Isbell

On August 17, 2012, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit performed "Goddamn Lonely Love" live at WorkPlay in Birmingham, AL, during a pivotal time in Isbell's career. This performance was part of the build-up to his album "Live from Alabama," released later that year on November 19. This album captures Isbell's raw storytelling and emotional depth, showcasing tracks he had honed through years of touring and writing. It's interesting to note that Isbell had previously been a member of the Drive-By Truckers, a band that significantly influenced his writing style and musical direction. The Birmingham venue added a personal touch to the show, as Isbell's roots in Alabama have always played a crucial role in shaping his identity as an artist. This performance highlights both his evolution and his connection to his home state.
