By Chris Willman Music Writer Jason Isbell isn’t more excited to be pinned down by genre than any other musical artist, but talk with him long enough and you might eventually arrive at a category he’s down with.

The singer-songwriter is on the phone from his home outside Nashville discussing his new album, “Reunions,” which, true to his discography, includes some deeply plaintive content.

Take the track that has already become a fan favorite since he started playing it live last year, “Overseas.” It’s a song that Isbell wrote when he and his wife, Amanda Shires, a recording artist in her own right, were out on the road on separate tours.
