Description

Limite 180gm vinyl LP pressing including download. 2013 solo album from the Roots/Americana singer/songwriter. Southeastern contains 12 new Isbell compositions and they are the most personal songs of self-reflection and discovery he has written to date. By no means is Southeastern a wholly solemn offering. Tracks such as 'Stockholm' (with Kim Richey) and 'Traveling Alone' (with Amanda Shires) offer laid back tempos and memorable choruses, while 'Flying Over Water' and 'Super 8' are strong reminders of Isbell's deep roots in rock. The poetic and deeply intimate lyrics are the common thread that runs throughout the album.

  • A deeply personal masterpiece, laden with the best qualities of Isbell's art.
My adoration for Jason Isbell is no secret. It is rooted in his brilliantly folkloric southern sensibilities. His previous work, particularly his 400 Unit albums, listen like parables of the modern south, utilizing the iconic imagery for anyone below the Mason-Dixon but still reflective of something poignantly personal. While these elements are all present in SOUTHEASTERN, he has never produced a more intimate album. Isbell is confessional and reflective about his struggles with alcohol and cocaine, his reckless youth, and his transformative sobriety. And in typical fashion, he is both direct and allegorical depending on the song or the verse. Melancholy regret and remembrances do not dominate all tracks; there is also a celebration, as Isbell is clearly happy with who he has become- a sober man in love. For instance, COVER ME UP and TRAVELING ALONE tell the story of someone who has crossed a personal rubicon inviting hope and happiness into a darkened life. The shadow of that darkened life swirl around the setlist as the song LIVE OAK metaphorically discusses the elements of our past that haunt us using the canvas of American outlaw mythology. With the metaphor stripped away, YVETTE and SONGS THAT SHE SANG IN THE SHOWER seem to be deeply cutting experiences that expose moments of Isbell's reckless youth. In SONGS, Isbell's lyrical genius weaves a vivid story though the words are spartan- "On a lark, on a whim, I said there's two kinds of men in this world and you're neither of them. And his fist cut the smoke. I have an eighth of a second to wonder if he got the joke." The scene is painted, the brushstrokes few. Then, in the aftermath, a confessional- "In a room by myself. It looks like I'm here with the guy that I judge worse that anyone else. So I pace and I pray and I repeat the mantras that might keep me clean for the day." In SUPER 8, Isbell delivers the carefree, irresponsible country tinged rock and roll songs that harken back to his DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS days. The riches of Isbell's transformation do not only manifest in his lyrics; his wife, Amanda Shires, his obvious anchor in a storm of temptation, is a marked presence on the album. The sweeping violin, played by Shires, transforms the song NEW SOUTH WALES from a story about strangers in a strange land to an authentic English (via Austrailia) folk ballad. Nowhere is Isbell's gift of intelligence in language, metaphor, and imagery more polished that in STOCKHOLM and ELEPHANT, where he wrestles with falling in love and death respectively. Both songs layer innuendo, meaning and cliche within Isbell's typical narrative clarity. The album is a journey of reflection and change, so the fitting capstone is RELATIVELY EASY. This is the grown-up, sober Isbell seeing the big picture of life. Despite problems, personal demons, loss, and trivial irritations, things for Jason Isbell have become "relatively easy." I'll leave this hopefully analytical diatribe with perhaps my favorite turn of phrase in an album filled with them. It is indicative of the trials and redemption related in this masterpiece called SOUTHEASTERN- "A heart on the run keeps a hand on a gun. You can't trust anyone. I was so sure what I needed was more I'd shoot out the sun. Days when we raged, we flew off the page. Such damage was done. But I made through `cause somebody knew I was meant for someone."- COVER ME UP by JASON ISBELL ... show more

  • Good album with solid musicianship and honest lyrics - 3 and 1/2 stars
Jason Isbell is a talented guy who has survived his worst self-destructive tendencies. His recent music has been a chronicle of his journey to sobriety and love. A solid songwriter in the alt-country/Americana/roots rock tradition, he knows the conventions well. His years of experience show. Isbell delivers a passionate album that's honest and as often deeply personal as it is firey. However, he's keeping company in this genre with guys like Ryan Adams and Justin Townes Earle, and those are big shoes to walk next to. In that respect, Isbell is punching way above his weight. I give this album four starts because without a choice of three-and-a-half I'd rather go higher than lower on this one. I think it's a solid three-and-a-half star album and a fairly strong showing. I'm a sucker for tight Southern rock done well, and this delivers in those respects, right down to some strong slide work. The lyrics often delve into the realm of the trite, tired and overly-well-trod. He trades in cliches ("I realize how far I have to fall", he talks of his "lonely heart", etc.) and for a genre and a quality of production that puts the lyrics right up front, his strong and soulful voice carries the day where the lyrics can't. That's not the full package. Think too much about what he's saying and all the soul disappears in a cloud of smoke. Isbell does convey his experiences clearly and personally, but he fails to do so in a way we've not heard many times before. If you dig it for the music, it's what you think it will be: Solid, excellent musicianship that stays true to Southern rock and country/ alt-country tradition (I think there's enough alt-country road behind us to say that now.) But if you're looking for the kind of lyrical depth of Isbell's supposed peers, Mr. Adams or Mr. Earle, you won't find it here. There are no new ways of looking at the same old themes of heartbreak, hope, love, regret, roadside bars, struggles with addiction, or other concepts familiar to the landscape of this genre. He hits all the right points as he connects the dots, but fails to convince that he's doing more than just that. ... show more
