I saw Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit at a very small venue here three years ago. Excellent show. Lots of DBT stuff and a fun American Girl cover.

Hell yeah. Got like 6th row for Miami in July. I still spin the last two records on the reg. I hope he is able to maintain the momentum he started with Southeastern. He has really hit a stride the last several years. Really looking forward to this release.

When they were in the studio he teased it as a rock and roll album. Southeastern and SMTF were more folk/pop, so I'm curious to see what he thinks of as rock and roll these days.

There's a very short studio clip out there somewhere, but it's pretty inconclusive. Just a few seconds of feedback/droning over a very basic riff.

A single has to be on the way soon. 24 Frames came out about 2 months before the album IIRC.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm hoping he means more songs like Decoration Day, Outfit or even Flying Over Water. Honestly I would be totally happy if he stayed on a similar path as the last couple albums but he is also a much more capable guitar player than those albums suggest. I'd be really surprised if it sucks.

That's interesting. Here he says "almost half" of the album is uptempo and loud. A bit of a walkback from "we're making a rock and roll record." Either way, can't wait to hear it.

I like it. Reminiscent of the sound he had on his self-titled album.

solid. I hope the EW article is a bit exaggerated though about him singing about white man's guilt the whole album. I'm all down for a few political songs as long as they don't suck but wasn't really what I was hoping for from Isbell. I'll reserve my judgment until I hear some more. First single is good so probably shouldn't let an article sway my expectations.
