"Stockholm" comes from Southeastern, the album Jason Isbell released in June 2013 on Southeastern Records after a stint in rehab, and he wrote the song by himself. Ryan Adams, his friend and touring partner, was first lined up to produce the record, but Dave Cobb ended up with the job, and Cobb plays percussion on this track too.
Isbell sings lead and plays guitar, with Chad Gamble on drums, Brian Allen on bass and Derry deBorja adding keyboards and mellotron, while Kim Richey's voice joins his. Mark Petaccia engineered and mixed it. The album drew wide critical praise, and Rolling Stone later placed it at 458 on its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.
