Let’s Be Frank

When an artist really bares their soul, it’s hard, as a listener, not to feel some sort of connection. But when the song is delivered with warmth and honesty and openness, either onstage or on a record, we feel like we’re sitting down right across from the artist and sharing a conversation. That’s the vibe beaming out from two new releases this week — Jason Isbell’s Live From the Ryman and the debut album from The Brother Brothers, ND’s October Spotlight band.
