Jason Isbell -- Sirens Of The Ditch

[hildegoat]

The newly departed member of Drive-By Truckers has a new album out this past Tuesday. I've only heard a couple of the tracks, but it sounds really good. Anyone pick it up?

[blueone]

Nay, but I shall! DBT are awesome. :)

[Kevin McF]

I am going to see if I can get it today, it is pretty solid

[Faded Rose]

Thanks for the info. Is it out in the Uk does anyone know? Anyone heard the whole album?

[hildegoat]

According to Amazon, it's available across the sea:

Amazon Link (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sirens-Ditch-Jason-Isbell/dp/B000QUU2UW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/202-7161258-1974212?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1184185386&sr=8-1)

I have listened to the whole thing many times and it is enjoyable, I havent listened to a lot of DBT but I feel like it is a bit different, it was just reviewed by P4K today if you are interested in what they have to say

[sipowicz]

I am a huge Truckers fan, and I dig it. It is not as solid as I was hoping considering how awesome his stuff was on Decoration Day and Dirty South. Still worth a pick up though, Chicago Promenade is unreal.

Thanks for the info -- I'll be sure to check it out the next time I'm at the record shop. :upyours

If I had to make a year end list today, this would top it. I really think he's going to break out something fierce with this record.

Also, if you get a chance to see him this go around, do so. I saw him a couple weeks ago and he and his band are super tight. Played most of the album, a bunch of his DBT material, and some choice covers. Great time.

I just ordered this from Amazon uk. Apparently the release date is 16 July (so they say). I haven't listened to any of the tracks but love DBT so I imagine I will like it.

[blueone]

I got this today, haven't listened to it yet but I'm looking forward to it. :D

[Faded Rose]

Still waiting for Amazon to take their own sweet time with this. The CDs always seem to turn up eventually.

[blueone]

I think it starts off quite weak, especially that mainly acoustic song. But it progressively gets stronger.

[Faded Rose]

Maybe my copy will come tomorrow and I'll be able to comment.

[blueone]

Coolio, Rosie. :)

[Gratefuldawg]

It's solid. Brand New Kind of Actress is a bit of a throwaway for me, but pretty much like the rest of it. I saw him in Philly on Sat night and it was a very solid show. The 400 Unit is a great band behind him too. Get into it.

[blueone]

Been listening to this a couple of times today. It's a pretty excellent and I probably didn't like the start because I wasn't paying attention but now I love it. It's a lot less ROCK than DBT but those dirty guitars are still there. Great record. :upyours

'In A Razor Town' is my favourite, for sure.

[hildegoat]

Ooh dirty guitars. I still haven't been by the record shop to pick it up, but I'm appreciating all the reviews.

[Faded Rose]

My copy still hasn't arrived. I've got to stop using mail order - or at least trying to save on postage by having everything delivered in one parcel.

[blueone]

Where do you order from, Rosie?

[Faded Rose]

Amazon UK. Usually they're very good but I do try and save postage by putting orders together and I think I misread the release date for the Josh Rouse album.

[blueone]

Ahah. I'm not familiar with them too much since I use play.com (who, coincidentally, are painstakingly slow buggers too). :)
