In a recent interview with NPR, Jason Isbell, shares his thoughts on his new album, Weathervanes, as a means of understanding and improving. It's about connection: connecting with other people, connecting with the past, and trying to connect with himself.

Isbell's raw and honest vocals are soaked in a southern accent that softens the edges of his voice, but never the message. The album is full of stories of regrets, guilt, and mistakes - but always with the push to solidify those hard earned lessons.

Life is just one big arbitrary lesson to learn and as Isbell says, "If I did that today, it was a good day. And if I didn't, I'll try again tomorrow." Check out Weathervanes from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit as your Album of the Week.
