Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit Stages ‘Reunions’ For May 15

Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit will release their new album Reunions on May 15 via Southeastern Records/Thirty Tigers. The 10-track album was produced by Dave Cobb and recorded at Nashville’s RCA Studio A.

The first single from the project, “Be Afraid,” releases today. The album marks Isbell’s seventh full-length studio album and the fourth released with his band, which includes Derry deBorja (piano, keyboard, organ, omnichord), Chad Gamble (drums, tambourine), Jimbo Hart (bass), Amanda Shires (fiddle) and Sadler Vaden (acoustic guitar, electric guitar). The new album also includes background vocals from guests David Crosby (Crosby, Stills & Nash, the Byrds) and Jay Buchanan (Rival Sons).

Isbell says, “There are a lot of ghosts on this album. Sometimes the songs are about the ghosts of people who aren’t around anymore, but they’re also about who I used to be, the ghost of myself. I found myself writing songs that I wanted to write fifteen years ago, but in those days, I hadn’t written enough songs to know how to do it yet. Just now have I been able to pull it off to my own satisfaction. In that sense it’s a reunion with the me I was back then.”

In support of the project, the band has slated an extensive tour for 2020, including concerts at Philadelphia’s Met Opera House, Atlanta’s The Coca-Cola Roxy, Los Angeles’ The Greek Theatre, Austin’s ACL Live at the Moody Theater and Morrison’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
