Yeah I know it's presumptuous of me to reorder, but I like this track list better than how it's laid out originally
When I excitedly play it for my lady tonight, this will be the order

The last two songs, and especially the last one Miles might just put over the top.
Miles may be my favorite song of the past 5 years, no joke. And I listen to a lot of new stuff. Granted, it's basically Neil Young + Tom Petty + Beatles, but ... it's just great.

(48,889 posts)It is a great song. I hear Neil Young, mostly, and the Beatles.
As did Rolling Stone: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/jason-isbell-weathervanes-1234764772/
And at Al.com -you'd probably like this article - they heard the Byrds as well: https://www.al.com/life/2023/06/the-story-behind-jason-isbells-surprising-new-album-and-new-touring-musicians.html
Editng to add the video:

And afa the Beatles goes it's not just the drumming, there's a TOTAL George guitar lick in there, and overall I think the production is reminiscent of Abbey Road.
Yeah, no ... period. Not saying it's the greatest song in 5 years, just my favorite one

(16,846 posts)This order certainly plays well for a live audience and isn't terribly off from the theme of your ordering:
Save the World
Vestavia Hills
This Ain't it
Strawberry Woman
King of Oklahoma
If you insist
Middle of the Morning
Volunteer
White Beretta
Death Wish
Cast Iron
Miles
Pseudo-Encore:
24 Frames
Cover Me Up

(33,643 posts)of all the songs (old and new), in the order he plays them
I love Vestavia Hills, maybe my 2nd fave after Miles. Even though it's straight up Eagles as I said earlier I think Henley would've been proud of it had he wrote it.
One of the reviews I read said Middle of the Morning was like a mashup of Midnight Rider + Into the Mystic and I thought that's exactly what it is lol. Another great track.
They're all good really.

The classics...
