Isbell goes solo acoustic
"Foxes in the Snow" was recorded in New York City at Electric Lady Studios in October 2024. Isbell recorded entirely on the same all-mahogany 1940 Martin 0-17 acoustic guitar in five days.
The track list is:
1. Bury Me
2. Ride to Robert's
3. Eileen
4. Gravelweed
5. Don't Be Tough
6. Open and Close
7. Foxes in the Snow

This release marks Isbell's first new music since the award-winning "Weathervanes," with his band The 400 Unit, in 2023. Isbell's breakthrough solo album, "Southeastern," was released in 2013 and spawned a modern classic in "Cover Me Up." Since then, he has gone on to win six GRAMMY Awards and broken records as the first artist to ever take home the trophy for Best Americana Album three times. He recently added 'actor' to his skillset, appearing opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorses' "Killers Of The Flower Moon." He will next be seen in RZA's upcoming "One Spoon Of Chocolate." The album announcement follows news of an entirely solo U.S. tour; An Intimate Evening With Jason Isbell kicks off on Feb. 15 in Chicago.
