Reunions arrives a month after the death of John Prine — a mentor of Jason Isbell, who does his memory proud. You hear inspiration in the smart, heartfelt lyrics, some of the best of Isbell's Americana career. The wistful "Dreamsicle" evokes how divorce colors childhood ("new sneakers on the high school court and you swore you'd be there"), and Isbell has said he's particularly proud of "Running With Our Eyes Closed": "It took forever to get you to trust me/Like I was feeding a bird from my hand." And while Isbell's voice is singular — the way his Alabama accent shapes the vowels of "demo tape" on "Only Children" is pure Southern comfort — there are touchstones both obvious (the noir, Mark Knopfler-like guitar on the terrific "Overseas") and surprising: a Killers echo on "What've I Done to Help" and "It Gets Easier," about the realities of sobriety. Amanda Shires (Isbell’s wife) again lends fiddle and harmony. With its appealing '80s college rock vibe, "Be Afraid" sounds lifted from her great album To The Sunset; it’s one of the most fun inspired takes on an album full of them. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
