In just ten action-packed years the career of Jason Isbell has transformed from
being third-string singer-songwriter in legendary Southern rockers Drive-By
Truckers to one of the most revered voices on the American circuit.
Influenced by the soul music so intrinsically tied to his homeland of Northern
Alabama as well as the more traditional country and folk staples, the
songwriting of Jason Isbell is rich and powerful and disarmingly expressive. American Songwriter Magazinerecently espoused, “There’s no better songwriter on the planet at the moment,
no one operating with the same depth, eloquence or feeling”. Backed by his
road-hardened band The 400 Unit, Isbell is one of the most potent acts on the
road today, performing some of the finest songs penned in the last decade.
His recent sixth solo album The
Nashville Sound debuted at #4 on the US Billboard 200 chart, also
topping the US Country, US Folk and US Rock charts (as did its 2015 predecessorSomething More Than Free).Something More Than Freealso scored Isbell twin Grammys for Best Americana Album and Best American
Roots Song (for single 24
Frames), as well as taking home Album Of The Year at the
prestigious Americana Music Honors and Awards ceremony.
In a four and a half star review for the Sunday Star-Times reviewer Jack Barlow
said of The Nashville Sound “Very
American, yes, but Isbell's way of detailing life crosses borders. The
Nashville Sound is his latest, and it continues his run of excellent albums
since leaving the Truckers. Ten years solo, he's yet to make a bad one.”
Isbell last visited New Zealand for a solo show in 2014, after a stellar
support slot for Ryan Adams at The Civic in 2012. He’ll be supported by
excellent New Zealand folk singer-songwriter Nadia Reid. Book your memories now, this is
an Americana tour de force not to be missed!
