Recorded at RCA Studio A in Nashville, The Nashville Sound finds Isbell leaning into the political urgency of 2017 America with some of the most direct writing of his career. A former Drive-By Truckers guitarist who rebuilt himself into one of Americana’s most essential voices, he approaches the noise of that particular cultural moment not with despair but with the steady gaze of someone who grew up in the South and knows exactly what he’s looking at.

Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, guitarist Jason Isbell and his mighty band, The 400 Unit, have announced the June 16th release of the highly anticipated new album, The Nashville Sound. The Nashville Sound is the follow up to 2015s critically acclaimed Something More Than Free, which won two Grammy Awards (Best Americana Album & Best American Roots Song 24 Frames) and two Americana Music Association Awards (Album of The Year & Song of The Year, 24 Frames).

Without exaggeration, Jason Isbell has become one of the most respected and celebrated songwriters of his generation. He possesses an incredible penchant for identifying and articulating some of the deepest, yet simplest, human emotions, and turning them into beautiful poetry through song. Isbell sings of the everyday human condition with heartfelt, and sometimes brutal honesty, and the new album is no exception.
