Jason Isbell CD Release Concert @ Shoals Theatre 2/14

Seven Mile Island and Good are fantastic songs. If this album is as versatile and well written as 'Sirens', it will be a hit. Too bad local radio won't put Jason's stuff in the regular rotation. Same with DBT or John Paul White or Sons, etc. Isbell has a bigger following in other areas of the country than he does right here in the Shoals. Too bad.

now listen to seven mile island Link

how was it? i would have liked to of gone, but couldn't make it.

was there a lot of people there?

It was a great show. I was very happy with the number of folks that showed up. The sound was excellent in there as well.

the music was great but the light guy was terrible.

Light guy as in the lighting/effects?!

I would probably have to agree, or at least say I wasn't blown away by them. i noticed Jason had a few difficulties with sound when he switched guitars.

The music made up for anything else lacking.
The show was fantastic! Browan and Jimbo really amazed me. Berry and Chad did too, but Browan and Jimbo just stood out. They all seem to mesh so well together.

We drove from Nashville to see Jason and the 400 Unit, and it was so worth it.

They are doing an in-store @ Grimey's today @ 6 in Nashville, so I'm leaving work and heading straight there.

I was SO SICK, and I still am. I've got strep or laryngitis (sp!?) or god only knows what, so we had to leave right after the Muscle Shoals show.

Did anyone stay? Were they signing CDs and taking pictures? I wanted to stay, but I felt like I was dying....

Maybe I'll get to say hello today and thank them all for the awesome show.

I only hope that this sort of thing continues in Florence and the Shoals. With all of those college kids and even middle school kids there, it is such a shame more opportunities like that don't come around.

I think Saturday night proved that, yes, people will come to shows if they are worth coming too AND if people get the word out ahead of time instead of a mention in the TD the day before....

Thanks very much for the info

where can you get this cd? pegasus?

Probably the local venue, or here:

Sirens of the Ditch was "Album of the Week", "Album of the Month", (both the week and month after if came out), and "Top Albums of the Year" contender at WTMD in Baltimore, MD.

I caught their show in Nashville last weekend. It was the first time I have seen him live with the 400 Unit and it was awesome. Even if you're not familiar with his music, I guarantee that if you are a fan of rock 'n roll, you will enjoy the show. I will never understand why no-talent people like Britney Spears are millionaires and these guys aren't, but I am so proud of our hometown rockstars! You can listen to their music and see the tour schedule on myspace. They have a show in Huntsville in May.
