Widely considered to be the ex-Drive By Trucker's best solo work, 2013's Southeastern was Nashville songwriter Jason Isbell's first with Dave Cobb.
"Southeastern is easily Isbell’s best solo album--his most richly conceived and generously written." - Pitchfork
"This album is harrowing and not for the timid, but those who stick with it will be treated to a truthful, moving journey and a master class in songwriting to boot." - American Songwriter
"By any reasonable aesthetic criteria, Southeastern is a triumph." - PASTE
"What makes the album itself addictive is Isbell's fusing of gothic Memphis blues and Nashville tenderness." - MOJO
