On Foxes in the Snow, Jason Isbell strips everything back to just his voice and a vintage acoustic guitar, delivering his most intimate and unfiltered album since his solo debut.
Jason Isbell has never needed much more than a guitar and a story. On Foxes in the Snow, his tenth studio album, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter leans into that simplicity like never before. For the first time since his 2007 solo debut, Sirens of the Ditch, Isbell steps away from his longtime band, the 400 Unit, delivering an intimate, unembellished collection of songs that showcase his songwriting at its purest.
Recorded in just five days at Electric Lady Studios in New York, Foxes in the Snow features nothing but Isbell’s voice and an all-mahogany 1940 Martin 0-17 acoustic guitar. The result is a stark, mesmerizing portrait of an artist at the height of his powers - his virtuoso playing and raw, commanding vocals laid bare without the cushion of a backing band. Produced alongside Gena Johnson, the album distills Isbell’s artistry to its essence, proving once again why he’s one of the most revered songwriters of his generation.
To accompany the album’s release, Isbell will embark on a solo tour hitting historic venues in Europe and the U.S., bringing these songs to life in the same stripped-down fashion. After years of electrifying performances with the 400 Unit, this tour offers a rare chance to hear Isbell alone in the spotlight - just a man, his guitar, and the stories only he can tell.
