I've never been a big fan of the Drive-By Truckers, but they were hiding a diamond in Jason Isbell who went solo a few years ago and released his second album, Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit last year. If you enjoy the sound of neuvo-soul/alt-country rock (think Martin Sexton, the band Dawes, or Steve Carlson) but grow weary of listening to albums consisting of mostly rehashed love songs, check out Isbell; he's a surprising and intuitive lyricist. I love this one in particular.
