Jason Isbell Adds


I've been listening to the latest from The 400 Unit for the last few days and finally got around to adding some tracks to the CAR playlist. It was too hard to pick 3 or 4 tracks so I added them all with the exception of CODA because it is a fantastic record and track six is an odd instrumental interlude that wouldn't fit exactly right in the playlist.


Most hip CAR listeners know of Mr. Isbell from the Drive By Truckers. This record was recorded over in Muscle Shoals at the historically famous FAME studios. The same FAME where The Rolling Stones, Aretha and Duane Allman have all layed down tracks. My favorite track, if I was being water boarded and was forced to say, would be Soldiers Get Strange.


Listen for the Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit tracks and go buy the record. You won't be sorry!
