Jason Isbell - Elephant

This song is shockingly good! "Elephant" is lifted off singer/songwriter Jason Isbell's astonishing new album Southeastern and tells the story of a couple who has to deal with the fact that she's got terminal cancer. The former Drive-By Truckers member Isbell has apparently cleaned up his act after years of alcohol abuse, and as he's noted, "This time I want to remember it all". Of all the songs on the album, "Elephant" is the one that has really hooked me, but there's not a bad song among the 12. It is definitenly one of the best albums of 2013, so you should really check it out. This guy knows how to write a song!
