Jason Isbell - Sirens Of The Ditch flac album

Sirens of the Ditch was the first solo album released by singer-songwriter and former Drive-By Truckers lead guitarist, Jason Isbell. The album was released on July 10, 2007. After leaving Drive-By Truckers amicably in 2007, Isbell released Sirens of the Ditch on New West Records.

Likewise, his debut solo album, Sirens of the Ditch, works so well because it sounds so specific, whether he's ostensibly singing about his own predicaments or about his characters'. On "Grown", he admits to "dancing to 'Purple Rain'" as a kid; on "Try", he advises himself to "take a year off and go back home," as if he's already worked out a plan in his head  . Isbell himself is obviously an ambitious songwriter and storyteller, and perhaps that trait led to his exit from the Drive-By Truckers earlier this year. Who but the band really know? When Isbell came aboard for the Southern Rock Opera tour in 2002, filling out the band's Skynyrdesque three-guitar attack, his work fit perfectly alongside that of Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, both of whom specialize in story-songs drenched in local color and rich with regional detail.

The debut album from accomplished guitarist and songwriter Jason Isbell, formerly of Drive By Truckers (DBT), is reissued with 4 unreleased tracks from the original recording sessions. The addition of those 4 extra songs finds Sirens Of The Ditch clocking in at 15 total tracks. Sirens Of The Ditch's mystical quality can be partially attributed to the FAME recording studio (Aretha Franklin, Duane Allman, Otis Redding) in Isbell’s hometown of Muscle Shoals, AL where the album was recorded.

LP (12" album, 33 rpm). Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit Jason Isbell Format: Vinyl. This album is outstanding. I found Jason Isbell after he sobered up and became a songwriting stud, and released southeastern. It's good all the way through. It's a good lyrical album, that's very different musically, from some of his other work. It fits the library well. Highly recommend it to any music fan.

Although Jason Isbell's rather sudden split from the Drive-By Truckers, after six years of guitar/songwriting employment, was unexpected by most, his debut solo disc had already been four years in the making. Perhaps that explains the appearance of three members of his old band (bassist Shonna Tucker, drummer Brad Morgan, and DBT founder/frontman Patterson Hood, who also co-produced this disc), who assist on nearly every track. Musically Isbell finds a more soulful, generally less guitar-centric groove in this Southern singer/songwriter rock. Even with the substantial input from the various Truckers, few of that band's fans would expect to find the upbeat, near-folk pop with banjo accompaniment of "The Magician," a tune that uses the titular character as a metaphor for the life of a touring musician, on a DBT disc. Nor would the understated blues of "Hurricanes and Hand Grenades" or the lovely acoustic ruminations of "In a Razor Town," a song that wouldn't be out of place on an old Jackson Browne album, logically slot into the Truckers' catalog.

Jason Isbell joined the Alabama band Drive-By Truckers in 2003, shortly after their critically acclaimed double-album, Southern Rock Opera, put them on a number of national radars. Isbell became a Trucker some seven years after the band began, sharing guitar and songwriting duties with the band's two founders, Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley. In the few months leading up to the release of Isbell's first solo album, Sirens of the Ditch, it was announced that, after four years and three albums, he was no longer in the band, though no details were given regarding the reason behind his departure. Truth is, Sirens itself should tell the story: it's a slickly produced record of conservative hard rock and country-tinged balladry whose polish floats a little too far from the Truckers' grungier orbit.

Jason Isbell released his first solo album, Sirens of the Ditch, on July 10, 2007. In 2012, Isbell supported singer-songwriter Ryan Adams on his tour. Both played solo acoustic sets. Southeastern won Album of the Year, Isbell was named Artist of the Year, and the song "Cover Me Up" was named Song of the Year. NPR rock critic Ken Tucker listed Southeastern at No. 1 on his top ten albums of 2013. Isbell's record received praise by artists like Bruce Springsteen and John Prine. Isbell's music video for the song "Traveling Alone" features the Jackson House, a historic home in Moulton, Alabama. In 2014, his song "Cover Me Up" was used as the weather for the Welcome to Night Vale episode "Visitor".
