CD re-issue of the self-titled 2009 release from Jason Isbell and the 400 unit.
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit marked the former Drive-By Truckers member's second solo release and his first with the powerful and nuanced 400 Unit. Co-produced by Isbell and the 400 Unit with Matt Pence, the album was recorded at the renowned Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL and follows in the tradition of American songwriters who have recorded in North Alabama. Much like Arthur Alexander, Eddie Hinton and Spooner Oldham, Isbell mixes a soulful vocal style with songs that are passionate and unrepentant in their sense of place and direct in their stubborn Southerness.
