EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit - Seven Mile Island
Jason Isbell made his name writing indicting and redemptive tales of Southern life as one of the main songwriters in the Drive-By Truckers, contributing some of their most well-loved songs on three albums during a six-year stint with the band. After leaving in 2007, he released a solo album, Sirens Of The Ditch, Isbell finally let the flannel-dressed Americana he'd peddled with the Truckers absorb some of the hefty soul and hard rock he'd heard growing up around his hometown of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, site of the vaunted FAME studios where artists like Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and The Allman Brothers recorded their best material. Now Isbell is prepping another disc, recorded at FAME, named after his band and led by "Seven Mile Island," a briny, shuffling porch song about a strip of land in Alabama fishing waters where he and his father used to search for arrowheads. We've got the exclusive on this one, so hit the links below for the tune and look for Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit hitting shelves on February 17.
