The superb and varied Americana hitmaker, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit’s The Nashville sound! For those not familiar with Jason Isbell, I cannot recommend highly enough this man and his catalogue. With detailed songwriting that paints pictures of family and working class life, small town living, and struggles with substance abuse set against some of the finest production courtesy of country super producer Dave Cobb!

While you really could pick any of his last four records (Something More Than Free was a very close runner up), The Nashville Sound perfectly distils his universal appeal over 10 tracks. Southern rockers such as ‘Cumberland Gap’ and ‘Hope The High Road’ are undeniable, fist pumping barn burners, while stripped back acoustic tracks such ‘If We Were Vampires’ and ‘Last Of My Kind’ maintain a steady pace while Isbell lays down warm and ragged vocals on these intimate cuts. For those looking into an entryway into his catalogue as well as into indie country and Americana, this is the perfect place to start and this pressing on 180g vinyl will not disappoint!
