Jason Isbell

Got to First Listen Jason Isbell. True, he hasn't reinvented the wheel with his latest album, but I'd listen to this over and over. Southern rock country folk, indeed.

Jason Isbell's new album "Southeastern" is a confessional, intimate country rock. The music was influenced by his recovery from alcoholism, and it's deeply emotional music. The lead track, "Cover Me Up" is not so much a romantic ballad but a note to a new wife to demonstrate his fidelity and love. "Stockholm" is another standout and is a bit more upbeat. Perfect for fans of Justin Townes Earle or Cory Chisel.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit has a new album "Live from Alabama." Stream it now on Spotify.  I recommend it for fans of Brandi Carlile, Ha Ha Tonka, Hayes Carll, Justin Townes Earle, maybe even Delta Spirit and Kid Rock. Lead track "Tour of Duty" is pretty good. My favorite Jason Isbell track? It's still Seven Mile Island.
