Product Details

Kentucky-born and honky-tonk-schooled, Simpson arrived at this 2014 release already steeped in the hard-living tradition of classic country, but what he did here pushed well past genre nostalgia. Tracks like "Turtles All The Way Down" folded quantum physics and psychedelic imagery into a genuine country framework without a hint of self-consciousness, earning him a devoted following that stretched from hardcore country fans into the jam and Americana communities.

Metamodern Sounds in Country Music is the follow-up to Sturgill Simpson's critically acclaimed debut, High Top Mountain. The album title - an allusion to Ray Charles groundbreaking 1962 record, Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music - hints at the psychedelic sounds found within. Compared to Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard, Simpson explores a more progressive side of outlaw country in his wholly unique and captivating second album.
