Earlier this year, The Tom Petty Estate released Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration Of Tom Petty, with Tom Petty covers by several country artists, including Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, Dolly Parton, Wynonna Judd (with Lainey Wilson), Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, Margo Price (with the Heartbreakers’ Mike Campbell), Rhiannon Giddens (with the Heartbreakers’ Benmont Tench), and more. It did not include Jason Isbell, a country singer who’s covered Tom Petty numerous times, but Isbell appears on another new Tom Petty tribute album, the soundtrack to the new Vince Vaughn series Bad Monkey, which also features Petty covers from The War On Drugs, Sharon Van Etten, Kurt Vile, Eddie Vedder, Weezer, and more.
Isbell’s contribution is “You’re Gonna Get It,” which, according to Setlist.fm, is not one of the 11 Petty covers that Isbell has performed live over the years, and that cover is out today. As you might expect, Jason nails a perfect balance between staying faithful to the original and making it his own. Listen below.
Earlier this month, Jason performed at the Democratic National Convention. He’s also gearing up to release his new live album, Live From The Ryman Vol. 2, which also includes a Tom Petty cover (of “Room at the Top”). Coincidentally, that album comes out the same day as the Bad Monkey soundtrack, October 4.
Isbell’s next Ryman run is this October, and he’ll be near NYC before that to play a Red Bank, NJ show on 9/17 with Alejandro Escovedo. All of his upcoming dates are listed below.
