@Romanelli Thanks. I've already added the group and if I remember correctly, I think I did use US.

Actually, it would be Isbells (US). The two letter country code is what has been used to differentiate these.

Normally we use the name as it appears on the artwork. If the group's name changes over time, we'd add an alias so both albums get credited to the same artist. Sometimes the name is listed differently on the cover to the label (if a physical release), so we try to use a common sense approach. If two artists share the same name, we disambiguate using country of origin, active decade etc to distinguish between them. In this case, Isbells is on the cover so at first glance that's the one I'd personally go with (it can be edited afterwards if needed to distinguish it with the other group of the same name).

Oh, the group I want to add is a Southern Gospel group. I would have thought that the name on the album cover would be the one that should be used but I wasn't sure. I wonder why Spotify, etc. doesn't use the name on the album cover anyway.

There's already an indie folk band from Belgium called "Isbells" in the database, so definitely go with "The Isbell Family," I should think. Albummaster could always add an alias if anyone complains.
