Folk guitarist Gregory Alan Isakov has taken time away from working on his follow-up to 2018’s Evening Machines to record and share a new live video for “She Always Takes It Back”. The soft-sounding original ballad was the final track on Isakov’s 2013 studio album, The Weatherman.
Set in a darkened studio setting, Isakov and his solo acoustic guitar guide viewers on a gentle ride through the 2013 original with the use of his fingerpicking style and trademark melodies. Isakov has made a career out of those subtle but heartwrenching melodies, and he shows he hasn’t lost any of his abilities even with all this time away from performing.
Watch the new video below.

Isakov was scheduled to embark on a run of spring and summer tour dates last year, in addition to dates supporting the Zak Brown Band, but those shows never ended up taking place with the arrival of COVID-19.
