Sidney Crosley Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm surprised nobody has posted this yet: Jason Isbell has a new one out in a few weeks (July 17). I've been obsessed with a lot of his music over the last year, and I'm really excited to hear this one. Tremendous songwriter and singer. http://jasonisbell.portmerch.com/stores/product.php?productid=19569&cat=359&page=1 Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusted_By_Space Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 There is a indie store exlusive with a slipmat being sold as well for this release, I havent found any info on the web if it's just the regular album with a slipmat or if it will be similar to the other indie exclusives theyve done with special art or colored wax and a slipmat.

sacredheart Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've been curious about this, too...wonder how we can obtain an answer? Chris from Bullmoose might have an idea on it. I know his last album had a special "bootleg" edition when it first came out with a different cover. I'm curious about this album. I have loved Isbell's work since I heard Decoration Day and he is an amazing player and writer but I feel like a lot of people will be let down because it wont be Southeastern Pt.2. The fact that it is also around $30 bums me out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettwilks Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Love Jason Isbell! Southeastern is one of my favorite records of the last few years. I actually got curious last night to see if it had leaked, and it has. The new record is incredibly solid. I was afraid that Southeastern was so good that it would be too hard to create a worthy follow-up, but he totally did. I preordered the record, and can't wait to see him play in Brooklyn next month at Prospect Park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Loving all these preorders with no real reason to preorder. Looking forward to grabbing this when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I keep meaning to check him out but I keep forgetting. I think I'll start with Southeastern, need to grab that soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I love that the promo CD version of this is a CD-R, been a pretty decent listen thusfar....seems like a pretty quiet mastering unless the promo CD-R version isn't the final master for this album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the answer man. I ordered the indie version from B.M. Missing out on the bootleg Southeastern is one of my bigger regrets the last few years in regards to records.

I think future indie exclusives and bootlegs will be easier to come by than they were two years ago. They are more of a thing now, so it seems that quantities are increasing.

ksuwdboots Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 This is a great album, and one I would strongly consider buying on vinyl, however the standard version of this is a 2xLP at 33 RPM (not 45 RPM), which doesn't make any sense to me for 11 songs totaling 43:55. So is there actually a single LP version of this album? Discogs seems to think the indie store exclusive is, but I'm not sure that's accurate. Anyone know?

sacredheart Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Picked this up and really enjoyed it. It isn't Southeastern 2, and I am glad for that. It still has some great songs on it, and is another great album by Isbell. I do wish that it had a bit more of his rock side, when you see him live he puts a harder edge to the songs and it would have been cool to have him do a few of those on this album.

sacredheart Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I've come to realize I'm pretty much the only person on earth who thinks this record sucks. I wonder if it came after Here We Rest and before Southeastern how you would feel about it. I think a lot of people are a little let down that it isnt as hard hitting emotionally as Southeastern.

warhenrecords Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 My disdain is more from a musical standpoint than a lyrical one. He is a tremendous songwriter. No question. Been a fan of his for over a decade. Saw him with the Truckers a handful of times in addition to the myriad post-DBT solo/400 Unit shows. Some of the best rock shows I ever went to were 400 Unit shows, right after he was dismissed from DBT, and was playing to 40 people in sweaty rock clubs. He still had something to prove. Those shows were raw and loud and raucous and just kicked major ass. This new leaf he has turned is admirable, especially with his sobriety and new family life, but it is certainly not the Jason Isbell I know and love from a musical standpoint. I'm also in the camp that thought Southeastern was GOOD but not GREAT, mostly due to the reasons above. There are some good songs though - Children of Children is a nice ode to his mother and I really like To A Band I Loved as a wonderful tribute to the almighty and sadly defunct Centro-matic. But his live show is formulaic and predictable at this point (or at least the last 3 shows I saw were - I've skipped seeing him in the area the last couple times because of this). However like I said above, he is a tremendous songwriter. The talent is undeniable, and I will continue to purchase his records. The older stuff is pretty hard to find now, no? I have the new one, Southeastern (both pink and bootleg), Here We Rest and Live in Alabama. Need the others. Are they even available?

Dusted_By_Space Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 The first lp should still be in print, the only one that oop that I know of if the self titled 400 unit album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
