About the Album:Jason Isbell got his start as a singer, guitarist, and keyboardist with the Southern-rock band Drive-By Truckers from 2001 to 2007. Over the next ten years, he released six albums as a solo act or with his backing band, the 400 Unit. 2017’s The Nashville Sound was his second album to reach the top 10 on Billboard and third to top 100,000 in sales. It is his best seller to date and affirms “his place as one of the best and most emotionally affecting artists working in roots music today.” AMThe album was significant in the Americana movement of the 21st century, winning awards for the Americana Album of the Year from the Grammys and the Americana Music Association. It was also nominated for Album of the Year by the Country Music Association. The album also topped Billboard’s Americana chart. The album benefits from the backing band; it “delivers a richer and more eclectic sound and…the performances matter just as much as the songs.” AM “The more varied tone of the ten tracks helps to emphasize the thematic strength of Isbell’s storytelling, with the electric guitar work of Isbell and Sadler Vaden, the keyboards of Derry Deborja, and the violin of Amanda Shires lending these numbers a wide range of tones and moods.” AM “This is a set of outstanding songs that registers as the work of a great band, as well as the craft of a world-class tunesmith.” AM The album highlight is If We Were Vampires. Its “spare acoustic approach” AM emphasizes the beauty of this flawless love song. It won a Grammy for Best American Roots Song and was named song of the year in the countdown by the radio station 90.9 The Bridge in Kansas City. The album also features “the crashing dynamics of Anxiety, the understated dread of White Man’s World,” AM< “the guitar-fueled fury of Hope the High Road, the New South vs. Old South rock of The Cumberland Gap, and the bittersweet bluegrass-styled confessions of Something to Love.” AM
