Foxes in the Snow

The new album will be Isbell’s first solo release since “Something More Than Free” came out in 2015. Everything since that point has been released under “Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.”

According to Rolling Stone, the record will be Isbell’s first solo acoustic collection, recorded over a five-day period at Electric Lady Studios in New York last October. It is also his first studio album to not feature the 400 Unit since his 2007 solo debut, “Sirens in the Ditch.”

Ahead of the album’s arrival, Isbell released the song “Bury Me,” which begins with him singing a cappella before launching into a plaintive country-folk tale, which makes a light allusion to a past Isbell song (“Live Oak”) and puts forth a novel pronunciation of the word obituary before arriving at a sing-along chorus: “I ain’t no cowboy/But I can ride.”

Isbell already has his next home-state show scheduled as he will be one of the first to perform at the new Coca-Cola Amphitheater on June 28. You can see his full tour schedule on the artist’s website.
