Southern Family, the new compilation album from producer Dave Cobb, is already one of the most anticipated releases of 2016. The record unites country radio stars like Zac Brown and Miranda Lambert with Americana favorites Jason Isbell and John Paul White for a tribute to songs of the south. The Black Crowes' Rich Robinson, Shooter Jennings, Holly Williams and Brandy Clark also contribute. It's an ambitious project, and one that Cobb was initially hesitant about pursuing.
