Jason Isbell

A former member of the
Southern rock outfit Drive by Truckers, Jason Isbell’s solo career has seemed
effortless, from Sirens of the Ditch (2007) to Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit
(2009), through Here We Rest (2011) and last year’s Live From Alabama. He writes
open -hearted songs full of storm and drama, bursting with personal truths, and
echoing with the southern sound of his Alabama upbringing. Embracing his
newfound sobriety, Isbell next produced an album of haunting atonement and
redemption, the sparse and impressive Southeastern, which was a critical
success and commercial breakthrough.
