There’s a good chance you’ve probably heard of Jason Isbell by now, whether it’s because of all the awards he won or because that no-talent alcoholic covered his masterpiece “Cover Me Up.” If you haven’t, then buckle up because the man can write a damn song.
“Hudson Commodore” certainly isn’t Isbell’s best-known song, but it’s the only one I’m aware of that mentions both the titular Hudson Commodore, as well as the Delahaye 135. How many other songs have you heard that include any reference to a Delahaye? None? Exactly.
