Episode 12: Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit's Nashville Sound

Sad Dad Radio Hour

In episode twelve, the guys tackle Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit's "The Nashville Sound". The album is the latest release from alt. country royalty-- Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. If you didn't know, Jason is from the legendary, Muscle Shoals, Alabama. After a stink with the Drive-by Truckers, Isbell left to pursue his solo career with the band, The 400 Unit, comprised mainly of session musicians from his home town. The album comes across as rich, introspective, and at times vulnerable as Jason and the band tackle issues from all spectrums of life. It covers achy ballads, real "classic" country, and even some songs that wouldn't be completely remiss from a conversation about hard rock. So sit back, relax, and enjoy.
