Music-Jason Isbell

  In this undated image released by Thirty Tigers, country singer Jason Isbell is shown. Isbell, the top nominee at the Americana Honors & Awards on Wednesday night at the Ryman Auditorium, is the latest artist to break out of northern Alabama. The region's rich musical history provided a soundtrack for his childhood. His grandparents turned on the radio and taught him to play guitar. (AP Photo/Joshua Black Wilkins)
