I saw Jason more than a few times while he was in Drive-by Truckers. He wrote some amazing songs during his tenure with that esteemed ensemble. So when he went solo in 2007 I was excited to hear what he was up to. Oh course he put out the now classic album Sirens Of The Ditch and started touring with the 400 Unit and the rest is history. 14 years later he is arguably bigger than the Truckers. He was just in Denver last Sunday headlining Red Rocks.
He came to Denver earlier in 2007 and played the Larimer Lounge I recall. For this show he was opening up for Cracker at the Bluebird. In face Johnny Hickman from Cracker joins them towards the end of the set for a couple songs.
The set includes some of his new tunes, some Truckers era songs and a few well chosen covers of the Talking Heads and Tom Petty. To this day he has a deft hand with the covers he and the band play.
Enjoy his set and I'll be getting Cracker's set from this night up as well.
