Throughout Reckoning, “Gauthier…

Originally published in Uncut Take 165 (February 2011 issue)… It had been an auspicious day for Duane Allman. After more than two years of non-stop touring, he had received and cashed his first royalty cheque, for a useful $5,000. As dusk was closing in over Macon, Georgia, he left The Allman Brothers Band’s Big House and swung his beloved Harley Sportster, Melissa, onto the highway. Just minutes later, according to news reports, he swerved to avoid a truck and lost control of his bike. It flipped over, pinning him beneath it, sliding down the roadway for 50 feet. Following some…
It wasn’t until 2013’s Southeastern that Jason Isbell began to work out who exactly he was writing for. The Georgian had been in the business for a decade – first with the Drive-By Truckers and then as a solo artist, but on Southeastern the newly sober Isbell began to focus on a single imaginary individual and make them his audience. “You can’t write for everybody in the audience because then you get Big Macs,” he explains. “So you write for one person – and that person has to be kind of an asshole, this one imaginary audience member who wants…

Rolling through the swaggering Heathens, the punky Next Semester and Tear In My Heart, there’s little room to breathe, as one song flows into the next, like a stream of consciousness, creating an all-engulfing atmosphere. Respite does come as things move into the second act, however, as Josh appears from the darkness in Trench-coded gear, carrying aloft a torch that remains centre-stage for the rest of the show, blazing as bright and hot as the fevered passion flowing from the crowd. All of this serves for the big, fiery spectacle of Jumpsuit (with a dash of City Walls thrown in),…

They really are balanced perfectly with the tender instrumentation and certainly show lots of emotion. The new single is his eighth single of the year and tenth since he released his debut…
