Sturgill Simpson – Sailor's Guide To Earth (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
A Sailor's Guide to Earth won the 2017 Grammy for Best Country Album, a rare mainstream acknowledgment for an artist who had spent years operating well outside Nashville's commercial lane. Simpson's decision to open a letter to his newborn son with a Nirvana cover tells you everything about his approach: reverent toward tradition, restless with it at the same time, and utterly uninterested in playing it safe.
Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor's Guide to Earth / Produced by Simpson, A Sailor's Guide To Earth was written-beginning to end-as a letter to his first child who arrived during the summer of 2014 and features eight original songs as well as a rendition of Nirvana's "In Bloom." Recorded primarily at Nashville's The Butcher Shoppe, Simpson was joined in the studio by Grammy Award-winning engineer David Ferguson (Johnny Cash, John Prine, "Cowboy" Jack Clement) and assistant engineer Sean Sullivan. Along with members of his touring band, the album features Dave Roe on bass, Dan Dugmore on steel guitar, Dougie Wilkinson on bagpipes, Garo Yellin and Arthur Cook on cello, Jonathan Dinklage and Whitney LaGrange on violin and special guests The Dap-Kings. Pressed on 180 gram premium-quality vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing as part of the Rhino Reserve audiophile vinyl series.
