Jason Isbell (born February 1, 1979) is a singer, songwriter, self proclaimed Cracker Barrel connoisseur, and guitarist from Greenhill, Alabama, near Muscle Shoals.
Jason Isbell released his first solo album, Sirens of the Ditch, on July 10, 2007.
The lyrics of the beautiful and haunting opening track “Cover Me Up”, make it immediately apparent that Isbell is speaking from an entirely new viewpoint. The song features his strongest vocals to date, but also kicks the door to his soul wide open for all to see. Isbell struggled, fought his demons and has remained sober for over a year now. Also, he was recently married and has entered the next chapter of his life. However, Southeastern is not an album preaching sobriety, but a work of repentance, self-realization and most importantly, personal growth.
