Nowhere Is this more evident than on his 2013 breakthrough album Southeastern. Isbell offers confessions. Reflections. and promises that confront and make communion with those who have come before and remain with us still. It's twelve tracks represent an extended meditation on the concept articulated by another celebrated southern storyteller, author William Faulkner: "The past is never dead. It isn't even past."
The deluxe edition includes:
