Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound

Isbell has always been a songwriter who has taken his craft seriously; this release is the man at his most honest. His superior musicianship has never been questioned, and it’s truly advantageous to have a Grammy nod to increase his reach as an artist. On this album, he also uses his reach to address the racial divide in the South, from where he hails. “White Man’s World” is as intense a protest song as you will hear this decade. Jason Isbell is a consummate singer-songwriter who wears his emotions on his sleeve, and his voice truly yearns for reason.
