Here We Rest on April 12

It's not even March yet, and I'm jonesing for Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit's next album.

As Lightning Rod Records relates on its website, the album Here We Rest will be available April 12. Considering Isbell's dark and dry sense of humor, I'm surprised he didn't have it set to drop on April Fool's Day.

Why the heck do new albums come on Tuesday anyway? I've never understood why Tuesday is the day.

Anyway, the track listing goes like this:
1.) Alabama Pines
2.) Go It Alone
3.) We’ve Met
4.) Codeine
5.) Stopping By
6.) Daisy Mae
7.) The Ballad Of Nobeard
8.) Never Could Believe
9.) Heart On A String
10.) Save It For Sunday
11.) Tour Of Duty

I'm looking forward to it.

Damned keyboards.

Oh, Foz, you and your anti-piano rants. Can you deny that "Chicago Promenade" is a great song?

I like the former Son Volt pianist as part of the 400 Unit as long as he doesn't overpower the other good stuff going on.

Did you see that Pinetop Perkins and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith's album won a Grammy for the Best Blues album of the year. Pinetop is a piano player, btw.
