People might know her as Jason Isbell's wife and part-time member of his band the 400 Unit. But she's a damn fine songwriter in her own right, and she's actually released more albums than her husband (this new one is her 7th full-length record). Isbell contributes some kick-ass guitar to a few of the tracks.
Great recommendation! I'm embarrassed to say that I'd never heard of her before. I've got a lot of work digging into the back catalogue ahead of me. Any older albums, in particular, that you'd recommend?
