Rolling Stone recently called Jason Isbel arguably the most revered roots rock singer-songwriter

of his generation.

Jason was born in rural Alabama to a close-knit family of musicians.

He played gospel and old hillbilly songs on the mandolin guitar before discovering the

blues.

When he was 22, Isbel joined Southern Rock Band that drive by truckers, who he just had

on the show recently.

And after six years with them, started out on a successful solo career.

He's released six albums, one for Grammys, and wrote the song Maybe It's Time for Bradley

Cooper's version of a Star Is Born, a pivotal song in the movie's plot.

and is building a solid body of evidence that he is in fact one of the most gifted songwriters

working today.

Overseas from his new album that at the time no one aside from his manager had ever heard.
