Drive-By Trucker-turned-solo artist Jason Isbell has been doing fairly well for himself since going solo, if you ask us. Isbell released this year a new record, Something More Than Free, and if his new single is any indication, it’s going to be a much more modern-sounding album than we’ve come to expect from him. Isbell shared “24 Frames” with his recognizable twang (and the sweet backing vocals of his wife Amanda Shires) , the song recalls another of Athens, Georgia’s favorite sons–R.E.M.–with its instantly recognizable jangle. According to Isbell, that was intentional. “It kind of sounds like the way indie rock sounded when I was 15,”
