We’re just days away from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit with Shawn Colvin taking the main stage and we couldn’t be more excited. Did you know that Jason’s latest album is a collection of covers? Georgia Blue is a beautiful collection of music by artists who call Georgia home. Have a listen to both versions below. And we’ll see you on March 1!
It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World
Originally performed by James Brown in 1966. The Georgia Blue version features vocalist Brittney Spencer.
Kid Fears
Off of the first major label release by folk rock duo the Indigo Girls. This new cut features Julien Baker ( Matador Records) and the grammy award winning Brandi Carlile.
I’ve Been Loving You Too Long
It’s a career high performance of Otis Redding listen as Jason and the 400 deliver a powerful version of their own.
Midnight Train to Georgia
Gladys Knight & the Pips had a Billboard number 1 hit and took home a grammy for what is easily Knight’s signature song. Isbell again brings in Brittney Spencer and John Paul White of the Grammy Award-winning duo The Civil Wars.
Nightswimming
A ballad by R.E.M. from their acclaimed 1992 album Automatic for the people and ranked by Rolling Stone as R.E.M.’s second best song. Isbell’s take isn’t as stripped down featuring banjo and mandolin by legends Béla Fleck and Chris Thile.
