Fans of Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit will have the opportunity to pick up a limited-edition copy of the band’s 2008 EP Live at Twist & Shout 11.16.07via New West on vinyl this Record Store Day, but Isbell himself doesn’t recommend it.
The Grammy-winning Americana singer-songwriter cautioned fans on Twitter on Friday about the re-release, saying “it’s not very good” and that’s it’s a project from “before I owned my record label so I can’t do much about it.”
Instead, Isbell said a new live album based on the band’s sold-out, six-night stand at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in October 2017 is currently in the works.
