Jason Isbell

On May 24, 2016, Jason Isbell and his wife, Amanda Shires, delivered a heartfelt performance of "Cover Me Up" during a special event called The Soundtrack of America: Made In Tennessee at the iconic Ryman Auditorium. This live rendition is particularly special as it comes from Isbell's 2013 album, "Southeastern," which marked a pivotal moment in his solo career, following his departure from the Drive-By Truckers. Fans often consider "Southeastern" to be a deeply personal album, chronicling Isbell's battles with addiction and his journey toward redemption. The passionate delivery of this song not only showcases Isbell's poignant songwriting but also highlights his close partnership with Shires, both musically and personally. At this performance, Isbell was riding high on the success of his critically acclaimed works, establishing him firmly as a voice of modern Americana.
