leemond2008 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Jason Isbell - Southeastern Former Drive By Truckers guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, if You like country, southern rock, americana and stuff like that then you should really really listen to this Acclaimed US singer-songwriter Jason Isbell leaves no stone unturned on his sublime new album ‘Southeastern’, out October 7th on Southeastern Records/Thirty Tigers, and one of his most sleeve-worn records to date. Unlocking the door to his psyche with 12 soul searching confessionals, from haunting opener ‘Cover Me Up’ to ‘Elephant’ – a frank, raw meditation on death.US country star Kim Richey lends a hand with vocals as does Isbell’s singer-songwriter wife Amanda Shires; Richey on ‘Stockholm’ and ‘Relatively Easy’, and Shires on ‘Travelling Alone’. It was recorded in Nashville and produced by Dave Cobb (Jamey Johnson, The Secret Sisters). Having reached the artist’s highest ever debut on the Billboard Top 200 at No.23, US critics have been unanimous in their praise for the new record, currently out in the States. New York Times Magazine have called Jason Isbell ‘One of America’s thoroughbred songwriters’ and USA Today have said ‘every song on Isbell's fourth studio album punches your gut.’ Originally finding fame as guitarist and songwriter in the much-lauded Drive-By Truckers, this is Isbell’s first solo album following his celebrated 2007 debut ‘Sirens of the Ditch’. Having toured the UK as special guest support to Ryan Adams last year, Jason will take on his own headline tour this autumn – UK dates to be announced shortly. and I know I have posted it before in the 'what song are you listening to' thread but I still think everyone should listen to this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClugMhMbrRg&feature=player_detailpage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I do like some stuff by the stone roses, love spreads off the second coming is probably my favourite song by them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted October 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2013 I also tend to agree...I like it, but it's not even in my top three favourite Beach Boys albums What would your top three BB albums be Roberto? This is superb -semi classical, but lovely. Cheers Pete, I really like that on first listen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted October 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2013 In my personal pantheon of classic albums, Dark Side is to Floyd what Pet Sounds is The Beach Boys, i.e. good but not my favourite by a mile. My Floyd top three: 1) Atom Heart Mother 2) A Saucerful of Secrets 3) UmmaGumma My BBs top three: 1) Summer Days and Summer Nights 2) Beach Boys Today 3) Surf's Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Tim Hecker - Virgins Never got the fuss around his last album but this is thoroughly recommended listening.

Don't like the post-'Meddle' Floyd at all though. Wouldn't give 'The Wall' houseroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
