Lfg

 

Saw someone on Twitter float the idea that this could be his Red Headed Stranger.

 

So excited!

 

WILLIE!!

 

WOW FULL ON HYPE

 

I can't wait to hear his song with Willie. Seems like that'll be a good one!

 

New Sturgill AND it’s a concept album?!



You have my full attention

 

I've loved every direction he's gone in and will continue to do so I'm sure but I gotta say I'm thrilled he's hanging out in the old-time/trad country lane for a bit longer

 

Written and recorded in a week with the same musicians from the Cuttin' Grass sessions:

From the Rough Trade pre-order page:

"Sturgill Simpson returns with a brand new concept album, The Ballad of Dood and Juanita. This is the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter's third album in twelve months and his most ambitious project to date. Written and recorded in less than a week, and featuring the same ace musicians who played on last year's Cuttin' Grass albums, the record tells a classic American story of a Civil War-era couple torn apart by violence and reunited by love—what Simpson calls "a simple tale of either redemption or revenge."

Also, I'm a big fan of that "natural" color LP

I forgot this was happening. Looking forward to listening tomorrow.

 

For all that people on here have spent the past 24 hours ripping on Pitchfork, that review is actually very well written and insightful.

 

yeah i was gonna say the same

 

Oh shit, I didn’t know about this. Very excited!

 

I loved both editions of Cuttin' Grass so very excited for this.

 

Stoked for my Friday
