Editorial Reviews

Something More Than Free is the follow up to Isbell's 2013 celebrated breakthrough album Southeastern, which received overwhelming support from the press and went on to sell over 150,000 copies. Isbell was the subject of stories in outlets ranging from The New York Times Magazine and Wall Street Journal to NPR's All Things Considered and Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit made multiple television appearances, including The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan and Austin City Limits. Isbell won Artist of the Year, Song of the Year ('Cover Me Up ') and Album of the Year at the 2014 Americana Music Awards. At David Letterman's personal request, Jason and his wife, Amanda Shires performed on one of the last episodes of The Late Show in April 2015.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Jason Isbell Delivers The (Musical) Goods...Yet Again!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2015

    I gotta be honest. I was fully expecting for this album to be a huge letdown after Jason Isbell's 2013 masterpiece "Southeastern". I figured there was just no way that he could duplicate that type of monumental effort. I was wrong. While, I may grade "Something More Than Free" a small notch below "Southeastern"...it's still a hell of an album and a worthy successor to "Southeastern". Jason Isbell is quite simply one of the most talented singer/songwriters of my generation. I'll put his songwriting & lyrical abilities right up there with anyone else in the music game at this time.

    Jason's album "Southeastern" had a solemn and somber vibe for the most part. Songs like "Cover Me", "Elephant", "Live Oak" for example were stark with depressing themes/lyrics. "Something More Than Free" feels like Southeastern's much "happier sibling". The songs have a more upbeat tempo and melodies...despite some deep lyrical content.

    Tracks 1-8 on SMTF are all gems. "24 Frames" has one of the most catchy choruses of any Isbell song in his entire music-making career. I absolutely adore the opening wordplay in the lyrics to "How to Forget". I love the drumming, tempo and lyrics of "The Life You Chose". Track #5 "Children of Children" is my favorite song on the album, and is worth the price of admission (or in this case purchase) alone.

    Overall, this is another strong effort put forth by Mr. Isbell. I would highly recommend this album to anyone. Jason Isbell continues grow musically since his departure from the Drive-By Truckers. With "Something More Than Free", he has truly established himself as one of the best, most consistent singer/songwriter musicians in the modern era of good music.

    I have been putting off this review for a few weeks now. Not because I am on the fence about the album or the artist but because I wanted to be focused enough to give this record the review it so richly deserves. I am a huge fan of Ryan Adams and he pretty much ruined me for all other songwriters and artists. That is until, thanks to a recommendation from Amazon, I came across Jason Isbell. Finally another songwriter who writes songs that hit you on multiple levels! The melodies hit you on a physical level and just a few days in to listening to this album in my car on repeat, I found that I carried them with me throughout the day. They weren't just playing through my head, they were living within me. My gate, my mood, my attitude all affected by a chorus or stanza or sometimes just a simple lyric line that looped through my mind. Isbell is a wonderful storyteller and though his characters and their stories may seem ordinary at first blush, the underlying themes are universal and heady material to tackle. His ability to use simple, straightforward everyday language to communicate complex ideas is remarkable and rare and I admire that so much! If you love RA and/or Lucinda Williams, you cannot go wrong with Jason. He's a wise, worthy peer without a doubt! I can't wait to hear his older stuff, too which I understand is just as good as SMTF!

    Something More Than Free already has a 5 star rating from 289 voters, but I love the album so much, I want to get my two cents worth on here anyway. If you've listen to Jason Isbell at all, you know that he is an amazing song writer and an even better lyricist. With Something More Than Free, I feel Isbell has taken his game to a new level. Musically, the album runs the gamut from old time country ("If it Takes a Lifetime") to pensive, slowed down numbers ("Children of Children," "To a Band that I Loved,") to alt country gems ("How to Forget," Speed Trap Town"). Perhaps even more impressive than Isbell's songwriting abilities, are his lyrics. In the song "To a Band that I Loved" he sings "Somehow you put down my fears on a page, when I still had nothing to say," which is how I feel about all of his lyrics. And not just fears, but joy, love, hope, etc. The man is a keen observer of life with an impeccable ability to put into words what it's like to be, at the risk of sounding cliché, human. I can honestly say that this album gets more play in my rotation than anything else I've bought in years, and I'm sure if you're even contemplating buying the album, you should go ahead and do it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My 2015 Album of the Year.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2015

    Honesty. Fresh. Storyteller. Genuine. These are a few of the words that come to mind when I think of Jason Isbell. I have been a fan since his days with Drive-By Truckers, and the thing that has impressed me most is the maturity of his lyrical content, even back then. He has only gotten stronger with his solo albums. I was very impressed with 2013's Southeastern, and enjoyed this one just as much. Now married, sober, and a new father, this album finds him shedding some of the "sad bastard" mentality that was featured on his previous albums, which is what drew me to him initially. This offering, though, does have its merits. I love how he interweaves story songs ("Hudson Commodore", "Something More Than Free") with more personal ones ("Children of Children", "To a Band That I Loved"). He is very active on Twitter, so if you follow him you'll find that he has a biting sense of humor which he also injects into his lyrics. Listening to these songs gives you a sense that he possesses wisdom beyond his years. Favorite tracks: "Something More Than Free", "If It Takes a Lifetime", "24 Frames", "Children of Children", "Hudson Commodore"

    Reviewed in Japan on August 22, 2015

    アラバマのシンガーソングライターJason Isbellの5作目。
    前作「Southeastern」にて一気にシンガーソングライターとしての地位を不動のものとした、いまもっとも勢いある男のひとり。
    本作では、その前作の、Jason個の内情を切々と語る、ひりひりするような緊張感に満ちたバラッド作とは少し異なり、過去作よりは比較的リラックスしたオーソドックスなフォークロック作に仕上がっている。
    全体としてはスロー〜ミディアムテンポの落ち着いた作風ながら、オープニングのカントリーシャッフル調、70sな感覚あるソフトなウェストコーストロックナンバー、鋭いギターリフが走るブルースロックナンバー、ハートランドロック風等々、多彩なカラーが印象的。
    そこに、詩人Jasonによる、とある男の日常や、光、影を描き出すストーリーテイングの妙が落としこまれている。
    現代最高峰のルーツロッカーであり実力あるストーリーテラーでもあるJason Isbellならでは、安定感ある良いアルバム。

    Poignant, introspective, retrospective and meaningful songwriting. Mix that with a voice as smooth as good Tennessee bourbon and what else do you need? Songs are not immediately catching, but after a few listens they hauntingly draw you in, over and over again. A master musician craftsman. With so much empty mindless music fluff out these days, Jason reminds us what a true artist is.

    This is another great album from Jason Isbell. It finds Isbell in reflective mood and with very spare backing (this was recorded without the 400 Unit). The first track “If It Takes A Lifetime “ is about a man settling down after a life on the road, adjusting to an empty house and a dead-end job. Other standout tracks are “24 Frames” and the title track. Perhaps not quite as good as his 2013 solo album, Southeastern, but still some great songs.
