More positive press

16 Feb 2009

Here are some of the nice things folks are saying about the new record:

Rolling Stone:
"...not to be missed."

Austin American-Statesman:
"This buoyant collection arcs and evolves with a forceful ascent toward the apex."

The Tripwire:
"The sultry organ and soulful vocals set Isbell and band apart from the current gang of reverb-obsessed Americana folkers. Isbell and company have released one hell of a record."

Creative Loafing:
"Very much a collaborative effort from all the 400 Unit band members, the music is effective and entrancing, from the gentle acoustic sound of 'Seven-Mile Island' to the hard edge of 'Good.' There is a stark honesty throughout, and Jason Isbell has grown up. 4 stars."
