Jason Isbell

The new album from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, tackling issues such as gun violence, the opioid crisis, and women's rights all through Isbell's signature songwriting lens.

Here We Rest is American musician Jason Isbell's third album, and second with his band The 400 Unit. It was released April 12, 2011. On October 18, 2019, the album was re-released with remixing done by Dave Cobb and remastering done by Pete Lyman.

Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit released audio of their February 29 performance from the 2020 Innings Festival in Tempe, Arizona via Bandcamp. The Leap Year Day set marked The 400 Unit’s last show before stay at home orders went into place. The show features a nearly career-spanning set from Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit and kicks off with “Go It Alone” from their 2011 album, Here We Rest. The band then delivered more recent material with “Hope The High Road” from their 2017 album, The Nashville Sound, followed by the title track from Isbell’s 2015 LP, Something More Than Free.

On May 15, Jason Isbell and his wife, singer-songwriter/fiddler Amanda Shires played a concert at a mostly empty Brooklyn Bowl Nashville to celebrate the release of the Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit album, Reunions. Isbell and Shires just put out a live recording of their main set from May 15th exclusively via Bandcamp as Reunions: Live At Brooklyn Bowl Nashville.

The debut album from accomplished guitarist and songwriter Jason Isbell, formerly of Drive By Truckers (DBT), is reissued with 4 unreleased tracks from the original recording sessions. The addition of those 4 extra songs finds Sirens Of The Ditch clocking in at 15 total tracks. Sirens Of The Ditch's mystical quality can be partially attributed to the FAME recording studio (Aretha Franklin, Duane Allman, Otis Redding) in Isbell’s hometown of Muscle Shoals, AL where the album was recorded. Co-produced by Isbell and Patterson Hood (DBT), Sirens Of The Ditch features Isbell singing lead vocals and playing guitar throughout, joined by Shonna Tucker (Formerly of DBT) on Bass and Brad Morgan (DBT) on drums. Several musicians pop in for cameos including Spooner Oldham and David Hood (Patterson s father) on "Down In A Hole", John Neff (Formerly of DBT) on "Dress Blues" and Patterson himself guests on "Shotgun Wedding". "a strong debut, full of the kind of confident, charismatic songwriting that just can't be taught."
