Today, Jan. 14, Jason Isbell has opened a new chapter in his storied career with the announcement of Foxes in the Snow, his first-ever solo acoustic album. Set to release on March 7 via his own Southeastern Records imprint, the Americana figurehead’s next offering compiles 11 all-new songs into his first collection of new music since the 400 Unit’s Weathervanes in 2023. Isbell has previewed the new collection with a lead single, album opener “Bury Me.”

Foxes in the Snow was recorded at New York’s iconic Electric Lady Studio in October, 2024. In a five day sprint through those hallowed halls, Isbell set each track to tape with an all-mahogany 1940 Martin 0-17 acoustic guitar, capturing new heights of achievement as a songwriter, vocalist and instrumentalist with no frills or distractions. The fruit of these focused sessions is apparent on “Bury Me,” a scenic ride through the countryside that builds on classic Americana songwriting with bottomless wit and heart. The recording is warm, evocative, full and unwaveringly intimate, resounding as a candid reflection of Isbell’s spirit.

Nearly two decades into a solo career launched with 2007’s Sirens of the Ditch, Isbell endures as an unmissable presence in rock and alternative country. After sharing Live from the Ryman, Vol. 2 last October, a full-length follow-up to the 400 Unit’s acclaimed 2018 collection Live from the Ryman continuing a longstanding relationship with the Music City institution, the artist continued to tour tirelessly (including several stops along the Harris-Walz campaign trail).

Before releasing his first solo album since 2015’s Something More Than Free, Isbell will return to the stage for 15 solo acoustic performances billed as “An Intimate Evening with Jason Isbell.” That run, which includes stops at New York’s Beacon Theatre, Washington, D.C.’s Warner Theatre and Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Hall, will begin on Feb. 15 and conclude on March 29.
