At the MusiCares tribute to Jon Bon Jovi in Los Angeles, Jason Isbell's appearance alone hinted at the song he was going to perform. He wore a big hat and a long coat while holding a double-neck guitar, making it obvious that he was going to play "Wanted Dead or Alive."
Isbell admitted on Instagram that it's easy to tell which Bon Jovi song he covered just by looking at a picture he posted.

Even though Isbell may have had a similar look to Richie Sambora rather than JBJ, he performed well and put his all into singing lyrics about encountering many people and rocking out without any sense of insincerity. While Isbell is known for his strong vocals, it was the impressive guitar solo he performed that really made his rendition of "Dead or Alive" a throwback to the 1980s.
Jon Bon Jovi was honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year, following in the footsteps of previous recipients such as Joni Mitchell, Lionel Richie, Dolly Parton, and Bruce Springsteen. Despite the recent passing of his mother, Springsteen attended the event to support his fellow New Jersey icon. The two musicians even took the stage together to perform a mix of Bon Jovi’s country hit “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” and Springsteen’s “The Promised Land.”
