Isbell describes the freedom of writing songs from other people's points of view.
As he proves in his new concert special from Lincoln Center, Jason Isbell knows how to get inside the lives of the people he sings about. He tells us where this instinct comes from, and talks about the delicate balance he tries to reach between revealing and respecting his subject.
