$23.00Call to Order
Warm Muscle Shoals soul runs through every track, ringing guitars and swampy Hammond swinging from barroom crunch to fragile late-night quiet. "Brand New Kind of Actress" opens with bluesy muscle, but "Dress Blues" is the gut-punch: a hushed elegy for a Marine from Isbell's hometown killed in Iraq. Cut at FAME Studios the year he left Drive-By Truckers, this solo debut put one of Americana's great songwriters out front. Drop the needle and meet him.
