Photo credit: Jesse Dittmar Our touring vehicle these days is generally a plane — the type is up to the airlines whichever one that happens to be. Thank God we’re using a bus this summer. Hopefully it’s a Prevost. The cheapest way to eat on the road is mac & cheese from the hotel fridge, but it’s not very healthy and there’s a hell of a lot of salt. Yelp really helps. Generally we can find a good restaurant that’s close by.

True Believer, Jason Isbell (from the Southeastern Records release Foxes in the Snow)Foxes in the Snow finds Jason Isbell in a raw, reflective space, drawing from the emotional wreckage of heartbreak and the cautious hope of starting over. These songs live in the aftermath—where pain lingers, memories echo, and new love emerges slowly, shaped by what came before. Some moments are tender, others bruising, but all are delivered with the lucidity and grace Isbell has made his hallmark.

Photo credit: Curtis Knapp I used to buy Ford Econoline extension vans for my touring van. Although since the 2000’s, I have mainly committed to renting vans when I go on the road to avoid high payments and the maintenance of the vehicle on the road. The last touring van I bought I put 500,000 miles on it. Itss name was Nellie Bell and boy did she have a story to tell. It was all white and I drove it for about 18 years so it was well known and associated with me for a long time.
