Sturgill Simpson The Ballad Of Dood & Juanita (CD)

(High Top Mountain Records) 10 tracks, digisleeve

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."
