For the past six years, Isbell was one of three frontmen for the critically acclaimed Drive-By Truckers (DBT)-and although fans may have been shocked by his leaving the band in April, once you hear his solo debut Sirens Of The Ditch (which was co-produced by Isbell and DBT's Patterson Hood) it will only confirm that Isbell has his own unique voice. Musicians joining Isbell on the album include DBT's Shonna Tucker (bass) and Brad Morgan (drums) with cameos from Patterson Hood, his father David Hood, Spooner Oldham, John Neff and more.
