Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit have shared their latest single set to appear on the country-rock outfit’s forthcoming studio album, Reunions, due out this spring on May 15th via Southeastern Records/Thirty Tigers.
Entitled, “What’ve I Done To Help”, the lengthy recording hears the guitarist/singer submerge into a self-reflective state as he consistently repeats the song’s title line throughout its nearly-seven-minute runtime. The song carries a rush of energy from start to finish as Isbell belts out the lyrics, “Thought I was alone in the world, until my memories gathered round me in the night/Thought I was strong until I finally had to fight” and “What’ve I done to help/What’ve I done to help but not myself.”
Listen to the band’s latest single in full below.

Music featured on Isbell and the 400 Unit’s follow-up studio effort to 2017’s Grammy-winning The Nashville Sound was produced by Dave Cobb and recorded at RCA Studio A in Nashville, TN.
Isbell is one of the featured artists who appears on the star-studded lineup for the upcoming “To Nashville, With Love” benefit concert, set for this Monday (March 9th) at Marathon Music Works. Isbell, along with Sheryl Crow, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Brandi Carlile, Margo Price, Old Crow Medicine Show, and more will participate in the one-night event to raise funds for the people affected by the tornadoes that ravaged the city this past Tuesday.
