I'm about to spin Isbell's RSD vinyl thanks to forum member May 30 who found me a copy.

Surely this album will leak soon. It's already done better than his last album in not leaking super early. 

DewieCox

I'm looking every day. I'm stoked for this one. 

ledvedderman

I'm with you Dewey. I honestly think I could say that Isbell might just be the best songwriter on the planet right now.

nothing up on pirate bay yet, but I bet it's there this weekend.

I went ahead and preorder the album on vinyl last weekend.

ledvedderman

Yeah, I ordered the vinyl early as well. 

As to where to look, I usually google whatever album it is with ".rar" or "leak" at the end. There are numerous sites out there as well. Careful though, it can get addicting as hell!

A good time-saving site is hasitleaked.com. They absolutely never post direct links, but they will indicate whether something has leaked or not. Just monitor that and then scour the interwebs as necessary

i crawled inside the "southeastern" cd again this past weekend and was still completely blown away all over again. lyrics so powerful.

Jason Isbell told this to NPR Music in 2013, shortly before the release of Southeastern, the record that marked the beginning of a new era for the Alabaman troubadour and his tenure as this decade’s best American songwriter. The song he was talking about, “Cover Me Up,” was a bold choice for Southeastern’s lead-off track: Solemn, stripped-down, and slow, it floors listeners with its stark vulnerability and the strength of its romance as Isbell unfolds his love for Amanda Shires, the fiddle player he married just days after he finished recording the album earlier that year. Southeastern is Isbell’s “sober” record, the one he wrote following a stay in rehab after years of hard-partying took their toll on the musician’s personal life (and professional one, too). As such, it stuns with its clarity and ability to cut to the core of his sentiment in a chorus or less, and “Cover Me Up” is the beacon of this.

I think he might have matched it with If We Were Vampires. Maybe. But that's a tough call.

On the path between penetrating poetry and raw rock and roll, Jason Isbell has hit his stride

What you talking about, Willis? I've not seen it. 

DewieCox

Must be pretty fresh if it has.

ledvedderman

Yeah. If it's out there, I'm not seeing it on any of the sites that are usually on top of leaks. 

ComeToTX

Haven't seen it either. Love the new tune though.

LukinFan

I don't see it anywhere either

tweedyfanjen

I'm loving the four songs I've heard so far.

ledvedderman

Jason liked a tweet of mine last night and then I couldn't fall asleep because I was in shock. 

Tim Simmons

this fucking album. I would have never thought that 15ish years into a dudes career he would be dropping shit this good. Whole album is gold.

where did you find it?

ledvedderman

I'm still not certain it's out there. If it is, it's very limited. Im not one for calling other posters liars or anything, but there is zero indication anywhere of a widespread leak. Advance copies and press copies are already out, so it's definitely possible. 

DewieCox

It's out there according to hasitleaked, which I've been refreshing for the last month waiting for a status change.
