Recommended: Jason Isbell, Seven-Mile Island

So this is short enough to have probably just been a Twitter, but I wanted to give attention as due...

Jason Isbell's Seven-Mile Island, which comes out on February 17th, is hands down the best album I've heard so far in 2009, and I can't imagine a world where 10 better albums are going to come out this year.

Wow.

Pre-order an autographed copy of the album here.
