Jason Isbell - Sirens Of The Ditch

Accomplished guitarist and songwriter Jason Isbell, formerly of Drive By Truckers (DBT), has released his debut solo album Sirens Of The Ditch in 2007.

The album rocks with 11 tracks all written by Isbell, with his songwriting skills shining through, particularly on Dress Blues a pensive ballad about a high-school classmate who lost his life fighting in Iraq and Chicago Promenade a tribute to his late Grandfather.

The mystical quality in the recording of Sirens Of The Ditch can be partially attributed to the FAME recording studio (Aretha Franklin, Duane Allman, Otis Redding) in Isbell's hometown of Muscle Shoals, where the album was recorded.

Co-produced by Isbell and Patterson Hood (DBT), Isbell is joined by Shonna Tucker (DBT) on Bass and Brad Morgan (DBT) on drums. Several musicians pop in for cameos including Spooner Oldham and David Hood.
