In the wake of Tom Petty’s death, Jason Isbell was one of the many, many artists to post a small tribute on social media. “I can’t think of an important moment in my life without an accompanying Tom Petty song,” he wrote on Twitter. “Every night we walk off stage to his music. So sad.” And during his headlining set at MEMPHO Fest in Memphis, Tennessee yesterday, Isbell covered two of Petty’s many unimpeachable classics, “Even The Losers” and “American Girl,” closing his set with a performance of the latter. Watch below.

“Even The Losers”:
