Bummer

For all you Drive-By Truckers fans out there, you will be saddened to know that Jason Isbell has left the band. You'll have to scroll down the link page a bit to get to it.

On a more plus side, he has a solo album coming out this summer that I'm sure will be great.

Still, the Isbell years are likely to go down as the greatest ever for the Truckers. His songs, particularly on Decoration Day and The Dirty South, were really great. Now I thought his work on A Blessing and A Curse was kind of weak, so I'm wondering if he wasn't already thinking about leaving.

This really sucks.
