For those that missed it, here's a clip of "Codeine" from last night's show. They also did a couple of bonus performances ("Alabama Pines" and "Got It Alone") which you can watch here.

From Jason Isbelll's website:

Van, trailer and gear stolen in Dallas!

On Saturday, November 12th Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit had their van, trailer and all of their gear stolen from a Holiday Inn Express by Love Field in Dallas, TX. This happened between 2 – 4 pm. The van is a 2006 e350 White 15 passenger van with AL tags (AW86010). The trailer is a Wells Cargo black single axle trailer with Texas tags. There’s a sticker of a wolf on the side of the van window, a Calexico air freshener and a lovely hula gal on the dash. There’s a King of the Road plate on the front bumper.
A complete list of the gear is listed below.

If anyone has any information regarding the van, trailer or gear please call Traci Thomas (615) 473-6687 / traci@thirtytigers.com.

Thanks!

DFW police found the van and trailer yesterday. We were hopefully that the gear was still in the trailer but when Jimbo arrived in Dallas today he found an empty trailer so please keep spreading the word. The complete gear list is listed below. Thanks!

Press release for Southeastern which'll be out on June 11th. Ryan Adams was originally scheduled to produce the record but it looks like he got the boot.

Quote:

Jason Isbell will release Southeastern on June 11 via Southeastern Records/Thirty Tigers. This will be his second solo album since 2007′s debut Sirens of the Ditch released shortly after his split from the Drive-By Truckers. Southeastern contains 12 new Isbell compositions and reportedly has “some of the most personal songs of self-reflection and discovery he has written to date.”

Southeastern is a more personal release from Isbell as he deals with new beginnings, like the recent marriage to Amanda Shires and his now yearlong sobriety, without being mawkish or getting on a soapbox.

The album will offer a duets with Amanda Shires on Traveling Alone and Stockholm with Kim Richey and will feature 400 Unit members Derry deBorja (keyboards) and Chad Gamble (drums.) The album was produced by Dave Cobb (Jamey Johnson, The Secret Sisters).

I went to get SOUTHEASTERN at Best Buy and Target and both didn't have it.

They have the new Sabbath though...

It's funny, the only place to find some new albums in my area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) is at actual record stores like Schoolkids (Raleigh), CD Alley (Chapel Hill) and Offbeat Music (Durham). That's how it should be but by the same token, I realize not everyone has record stores in their area these days. I think the unavailability of some titles at the big box stores has to do with the popularity of iTunes and Amazon. I know Best Buy and Barnes and Noble have been downsizing the CD sections of their stores in recent months. Hell, at least a couple of Best Buys in this area even had vinyl sections at one time but they've completely done away with them in the past few months. I'm afraid that is going to be the same for their CD sections as well.

Meanwhile, vinyl sales continue to be on the rise, which is what keeps a lot of these local record stores in business.
