The Voice Asks Jason Isbell To Audition For Show
By Scott Bernstein Nov 19, 2014 • 1:50 pm PST
Singer-songwriter Jason Isbell has accomplished so much in his career both as a solo artist and as a member of Drive-By Truckers including his recent near sweep at this year’s Americana Music Awards. Apparently those details escaped the attention of a producer for the NBC reality show The Voice, who reached out to Isbell in an attempt to have him audition for the show. 
Isbell shared some of the email on Twitter earlier today:

My audition on “The Voice” will be a solo vocal and French horn rendition of “Oh Comely” by Neutral Milk Hotel. I will wear a #bikini.
