"White Man's World" comes from The Nashville Sound, the June 2017 album that put Jason Isbell's name back alongside the 400 Unit on the cover for the first time since Here We Rest in 2011. Dave Cobb, back for a third straight Isbell record after Southeastern and Something More Than Free, produced and mixed it, and sat in on acoustic guitar and percussion too.
The band is all over it: Isbell sings lead and plays acoustic and electric guitar, Sadler Vaden adds more electric guitar, Derry deBorja plays keyboards, Jimbo Hart bass and Chad Gamble drums, while Amanda Shires brings strings and backing vocals. Isbell wrote it alone. The album around it went on to win Best Americana Album at the Grammys.
