Jason Isbell Pledges ‘Alabama Blue’ Album If Doug Jones Wins Governor Race

In 2020, Jason Isbell made a promise: If Joe Biden won Georgia in the presidential election, he would record an album of covers dedicated to the Peach State. Despite President Trump’s futile attempt to “find” additional Republican votes, Democrats took Georgia — and the White House. And Isbell made good on his pledge. He released the excellent Georgia Blue in October of 2021, which included his take on songs by Georgia artists alongside special guests Brittney Spencer, Brandi Carlile, Julien Baker, and Amanda Shires, who also designed the cover art. All proceeds went to Georgia-based charities Black Voters Matter, Stand-Up Georgia, and Fair Fight. Jason Isbell and Drive-By Truckers Reunite in Alabama Now Isbell, who hails from Alabama, is pledging another set of covers, one dedicated to his home state and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Doug Jones. “We will most happily record and release an Alabama Blue album, covering our favorite Alabama artists, if Doug Jones wins the governor’s race,” Isbell posted on social media. “Easiest decision of my life.” It’s not just lip service on Isbell’s part. He has been active on the campaign trail this year, appearing at events such as a September rally in Mobile, and the campaign’s

Bluff Oak (Quercus austrina)

Back to the plant listNative Plant List for Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Quercus austrina, the Bluff Oak (also called bastard white oak), is a medium-sized deciduous tree endemic to the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States. It is a true member of the white oak group, and like its famous cousin it has rounded, bristle-free leaf lobes and acorns that mature in a single season. Despite that family resemblance, bluff oak has a narrow, specific habitat requirement that keeps it uncommon almost everywhere it grows: rich, well-drained soil on river bluffs, natural levees, and calcareous or shell-influenced ground.

Annie has a big heart and needs a forever home

Annie is an 1-year-old female Shepherd mix who needs to be spayed before adoption. Found out in the county with no owner to claim her, this sweet girl is a beauty—light tan with a touch of white markings. Weighing only 18 pounds, we expect she will grow into a medium-sized adult dog. Annie is truly precious, playful, gentle, quiet, and shy until she warms up to you.

New Digs: The Lodge at Cheaha State Park

The new Lodge at Cheaha State Park offers breathtaking views, a rooftop bar, renovated facilities and more for visitors to Alabama’s highest point. In 2022, Alabama voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment authorizing an $85 million bond issue to invest in Alabama State Parks. The funding enabled the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) to pursue major, system-wide infrastructure improvements. These included a revitalized campground at Oak Mountain State Park, a complete renovation at Lake Lurleen State Park, and the transformation of Gulf State Park’s former golf course into an upscale campground.
