My brother's now working freelance, and he just contributed to his second ESPN.com story about Matthew Conley, a young soldier from Greenhill, Alabama, killed two years ago in Iraq and commemorated on Jason Isbell's newest album in a song called "Dress Blues."

His first was a feature on a bar in Kiln, Mississippi, known as "Lambeau South."

And some of you may remember his book, With Signs Following, which you should buy, if you already haven't.
