We have been listening to Jason Isbell’s channel on Pandora and I’m enjoying it very much. I like Southern singer/songwriters and there is a lot of music featured that is exactly that. I am currently listening to 1968 by the Turnpike Troubadours from their album Diamonds & Gasoline.

Here’s the song that made us both cry:
