Jason Isbell will release his seventh studio album, Reunions, on May 15.
The 10-song offering, which was recorded at Nashvilleās RCA Studio A, follows Jasonās 2017 No. 1 album, The Nashville Sound. Like Jasonās three previous albums, Reunions was produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb. The new album features 10 songs written by Jason, who was once again backed by his band, the 400 Unit.
āThere are a lot of ghosts on this album,ā says Jason. āSometimes the songs are about the ghosts of people who arenāt around anymore, but theyāre also about who I used to be, the ghost of myself. I found myself writing songs that I wanted to write 15 years ago, but in those days, I hadnāt 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 itās a reunion with the me I was back then.ā
Jason released the albumās lead single, āBe Afraid,ā which you can hear below.
