 Notes  
     After six years with the Southern rock outfit the Drive-By Truckers, singer
     and guitarist Jason Isbell left the group in 2007 to pursue a solo career,
     becoming one of the most successful and respected figures in the
     alt-country and singer/songwriter communities. While full of Southern grit,
     Isbell's songs also show off an introspective side and a gift for nuanced
     storytelling. His early solo efforts boasted a raw, rootsy flavor, and
     after coming to terms with a dependence on alcohol and drugs, Isbell's
     songwriting gained greater depth, his albums were stronger, and his work
     won increased recognition from the listening public.
     Isbell's first solo album, 2007's Sirens of the Ditch, was a bluesy,
     punk-infused lesson in guitar tones and Southern swagger, while 2013's
     Southeastern, his first album after getting sober, was a major critical and
     commercial breakthrough, and 2021's Georgia Blue saw him honoring artists
     from the state of Georgia.
     Isbell was one of three first-class songwriters in the Drive-By Truckers,
     along with Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, and each of them had (and has)
     his own spin on the kind of raucous Southern soul-country that band
     specialized in. When Isbell left in 2007 to pursue a solo career, there was
     every reason to believe he would continue in the same vein. Instead, Isbell
     produced work that still had some Alabama country twang, but was really
     closer to the folky singer/songwriter side of the spectrum, full of
     graceful melodies with thoughtful and literate lyrics.
     On this outing, Isbell strips things back even more, going with, for the
     most part, sparse, moody arrangements and songs that muse on the
     responsibilities of his newfound sobriety, an atonement of sorts, and they
     tell of lost weekends, drinking mouthwash when the alcohol ran out, and
     other sordid personal tragedies, all with an eye to how it seems to work
     out when problems are embraced, addressed, and finally owned.
     As such, this is an ultimately positive set that doesn't pull punches.
     Highlights include the beautiful opening love song "Cover Me Up," the
     elegant and sort of baroque country-rocker "Stockholm," the blast-along
     "Super 8" (which wouldn't sound out of place on any of the Truckers
     albums), and the love ballad "Relatively Easy," which closes things out
     here. The overall tone of this fine set is one of quiet and thoughtful
     honesty with one's life and past and the knowledge that personal redemption
     has to be earned again and again each and every day.
     It is, quite frankly, Isbell's best solo album thus far.
