Former member of Drive By Truckers. Left them in 2007 on good terms, to front his own projects. This is the second of those. Recomended to me by
our old friend Tiggi I believe. Alabama boy joined the Truckers in 2001 and stayed with them for 3 albums. No details as to his parting so I
guess he just got restless and wanted the vocal spotlight which he had to share them. Some Truckers flavor on a few of these tracks but more of an alt sound I think. Assuming the 400 Unit reference in the title is the name of the band but that didn't last long as all other albums just say Jason Isbell. That name is also the name of the Psych Ward at an Alabama hospital. Horns appear on one track here but other than that, just alt rock for me, with some Tom Petty vibes coming through on the harder tracks. Only love one track, Cigarettes And Wine which leans to more of an Eagles sound. A little long but it still works. The album made it to #131 here and I don't see any singles.
