ALBUM

Metamodern Sounds in Country Music (2014)

His second album earned widespread critical acclaim, mixing traditional country structures with psychedelic and philosophical undertones that felt unlike most anything else on the country landscape at the time. It debuted at number 11 on the Top Country Albums chart and drew comparisons to the trippier, more introspective side of 1970s outlaw country.

Sturgill Simpson

Sturgill Simpson grew up in Jackson, Kentucky, and built his reputation as a country singer and songwriter who drew heavily from outlaw and traditional country while pushing into psychedelic and experimental territory. Critics and peers frequently compared his voice and style to Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings, though his records often go further out than either of those touchstones. Over the course of several albums he kept shifting sounds, from stripped-down honky-tonk to orchestral soul to hard rock.
