“Georgia Blue is a labor of love. On election day 2020, when I saw that there was a good chance the state of Georgia might go blue, I came up with an idea: to record an album of Georgia- related songs as a thank you to the state and donate the money to a Georgia based non-profit organization. I will admit my motivations were a bit selfish. For years, I’ve been looking for an excuse to record these songs with my band and some friends. The songs on this album are some of my favorite Georgia-related songs, but the tracklist is not meant to be comprehensive. I would love to cover Outkast and 2 Chainz, but I don’t think the finished product would be very good. We’re a rock band, so we covered rock songs. We have roots in blues and R&B, so we enlisted some brilliant artists to help us pull off songs by Precious Bryant, James Brown, and Gladys Knight. My favorite part of the Georgia Blue recording process was having the opportunity to work with these very special artists, and I thank them: Amanda Shires, Brittney Spencer, Adia Victoria, Brandi Carlile, Julien Baker, Bèla Fleck, Chris Thile, Steve Gorman, Peter Levin, and John Paul White. I hope you enjoy listening to these recordings as much as we enjoyed making them. Keep listening to good music and fighting the good fight.”

Here We Rest
Vinyl reissue of the 2011 album from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.
Originally released in 2011. Remixed and remastered in 2019. The third album from ex-Drive by Trucker Jason Isbell and his second with the 400 unit, the writing and recording of Here We Rest followed a period of recuperation in his home state of Alabama. indeed, the album's title is the old state motto, before they changed it a century ago to something fancy and latin. Much of the material on the record reflects southern life, some of it peculiar to the region (Alabama Pines), but many of the songs touch universal themes - the economy, marital strife, and war, though seen through a southern perspective. The best songs here, the fore-mentioned Alabama Pines, the loping Codeine and the gentle Daisy Mae all demonstrate a warmth, intimacy and authenticity that can't help but draw the listener in.
