Jason Isbell has announced the follow-up to 2013’s breakthrough, critically acclaimed record Southeastern with Something More Than Free, due out July 17 via Southeastern Records. The record was recorded at the Sound Emporium in Nashville, TN and produced by Dave Cobb, who also produced Southeastern.
The team of Isbell and Cobb hope to recapture some of the same magic of Southeastern, the first solo record of Isbell’s to earn him virtually universal critical acclaim and commercial success. Something More Than Free features 11 tracks of what a press release calls his “most sonically diverse album to date,” but manages to capture the same “Southern-inspired vignettes of working class men, women and traditions” that fans of Isbell’s work expect.
