Sirens of the Ditch [LP]

On his first solo album after leaving the popular roots-rock act Drive-By Truckers, Jason Isbell returns home to his native Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Recorded at the legendary Fame Studios, with guest shots from Spooner Oldham and most of Isbell's former bandmates, SIRENS OF THE DITCH fuses the soulful southern rock of the 1970s with the Drive-By Truckers' shaggier charms on tracks like the choogling rocker "Down In A Hole" and the heartfelt anti-war ballad "Dress Blues."
