Foxes in the Snow by Jason Isbell

Foxes in the Snow, Jason Isbell's tenth studio album, arrived on March 7, 2025, on Southeastern, and it strips him all the way down to a voice and a guitar. It's his first solo acoustic record, cut in five days at Electric Lady Studios in New York with Isbell and Gena Johnson producing, and the first since his 2007 debut, Sirens of the Ditch, made without a single member of the 400 Unit.

That bareness is the point. These songs grew out of the end of his marriage to Amanda Shires, eleven years long, a partnership that had also put them on stage together, and out of the early light of a new relationship with the artist Anna Weyant, who made the cover art. "Bury Me" and the title track went out ahead of it. What's left when the band walks out is a songwriter sitting close enough to hear him breathe, sorting through an ending and a beginning at the same time.
