Record Store Day on April 22 RARE/SEALED Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit : release the special vinyl only Live from Welcome To 1979. The album features six songs, with five covers, performed live at Welcome To 1979 studio in Nashville and recorded directly onto lacquer. The tracks include The Rolling Stones’ “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” and ‘Sway”, John Prine’s “Storm Windows”, Candi Staton’s “Heart On A String”, Bruce Springsteen’s “Atlantic City” and Isbell’s own “Never Gonna Change”

Isbell, the reigning king of singer/songwriter Americana, pulled a kind of Jack White move with a hot-off-the-lathe six-song EP he’s putting out for RSD. He and his band cut the session at Nashville’s Welcome to 1979 Studios (hence the title) directly to acetate — meaning not just no overdubs but no time-outs between tracks, other the one separating Side A and Side B. It’s a covers album, with a happily skewed one for anyone who is a fan of the Rolling Stones as well as Isbell, since a winsome John Prine interpretation is sandwiched between “Sway” and a smoking version of “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” that does justice to the proto-jam-band original. Isbell stretches the covers concept by “covering” the Drive-by Truckers’ “Never Gonna Change” — a tune he wrote and sang back when he was still a member of that band. Meanwhile, if you want a full dose of the post-Isbell Truckers, Patterson Hood and company did their own scorching in-studio session for RSD, putting a rawer spin on raging recent protest songs like “Surrender Under Protest.”
