Yet another masterpiece from the preeminent songwriter of this era. Weathervanes is a collection of beautiful stories that draw the listener through different case studies, painting vivid pictures through the eyes of numerous confederates. Isbell has a marvelous talent for creating stories that are as real as the air we breathe; these stories are glimpses into different realities, set with the full range of emotions that accompany them. You’ll feel joy, pain, guilt, remorse, curiosity, and maybe even a hint of hopelessness at times. Jason Isbell is a storyteller, and this album paints one hell of a picture. Give this album a listen - you will not be disappointed.
