Jason Isbell may not be famous, exactly, but he's carved out a more lucrative career than most contestants on NBC's wildly popular singing show The Voice. So it's utterly hilarious that the former Drive-By Trucker received an invite from one of The Voice's producers to audition for the show. Isbell tweeted a screenshot of the email he received, then joked that he'd audition by singing Neutral Milk Hotel in a bikini. Laugh along with the tweets below.

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.

I'm no Adam Levine, but I saw Isbell at Hangout Festival last year and was seriously impressed.
