Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit have shared their new song, ‘Hope the High Road’. The track is the first release from Isbell and band’s new record, ‘The Nashville Sound’, their first full length since 2011’s ‘Here We Rest’, which arrives on Friday 16th June 2017 through Southeastern Records/Thirty Tigers.

You can hear the track in this article.  

Jason Isbell is widely recognised as one the most respected and celebrated songwriters of his generation with his previous album 2015’s critically acclaimed Something More Than Free, winning two Grammy Awards (Best Americana Album & Best American Roots Song, “24 Frames”) and two Americana Music Association Awards (Album of the Year & Song of The Year, “24 Frames”).

The new album was recorded at Nashville’s legendary RCA Studio A and produced by Grammy Award-winner Dave Cobb, who produced ‘Something More Than Free’ and Isbell’s celebrated 2013 breakthrough album ‘Southeastern’.

‘The Nashville Sound’ features 10 new songs that address a range of subjects that include, politics and cultural privilege (“White Man’s World”) longing nostalgia (“The Last Of My Kind”), love and mortality (“If We Were Vampires”), the toxic effect of today’s pressures (“Anxiety”), the remnants of a break up (“Chaos and Clothes”) and finding hope (“Something To Love”). Songs such as “Cumberland Gap” and “Hope The Highroad” find Jason and his bandmates going back to their rock roots full force.

In addition, will be accompanied by his band, which currently consists of Derry deBorja on keyboards, Chad Gamble on drums, bassist Jimbo Hart, fiddle player Amanda Shires and guitarist Sadler Vaden, on tour in the UK and Ireland this autumn with support from Tift Merritt.

“We had the pleasure of seeing Jason Isbell at The Garage in London, working a power trio format. It was a memorable show with invigorating guitar work, impassioned vocals and more than a touch of Crazy Horse – hence if we can make one of these shows we certainly shall.” – Pete Sargeant Just Listen To This
