If selling out a five-night run at the Ryman Auditorium in two hours is any indication, Jason Isbell has already perfected his “Nashville Sound.”
The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter will release his upcoming album, The Nashville Sound, on June 16, as he continues a 50-plus-date tour of the U.S., including multiple stops at New York’s Beacon Theatre, Austin’s ACL Live at the Moody Theater and the aforementioned five-night run in October at the Ryman.
To coincide with the album’s June release, Jason will perform on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, CBS Saturday Morning and The Daily Show With Trevor Noah.
Jason’s new 10-song album addresses a range of real-life subjects, according to the press release, including 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.
The new studio album will reunite Jason will his band, the 400 Unit (Derry deBorja, Chad Gamble, Jimbo Hart, Amanda Shires and Sadler Vaden), for their first project together since 2011’s Here We Rest.
Dave Cobb, who produced Jason’s previous albums, Southeastern (2013) and Something More Than Free (2015), will also helm The Nashville Sound.
After his five Ryman shows in October, Jason will head across the pond to perform concerts in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
