New Music: Sturgill Simpson – Metamodern Sounds in Country Music

[bandcamp album=2954949496 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande] Back in January I wrote about one of my very favorite records of last year, Kentucky-born Sturgill Simpson’s High Top Mountain. Well, ol’ Sturgill is back again with Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, & this time the junket is in full effect. Mainstream country music is so bad right now that a traditional sounding country music finally has a chance to cut through, & a psychedelic country record about DMT & reptile aliens is strangely easy for people to wrap their head around. But I think that boiling it down to a space-aged concept album sells the record short… even without the psychedelic…
