This is the Grammywinning singersongwriters third album in twelve months and his most ambitious project to date. “I just wanted to write a story-not a collection of songs that tell a story, but an actual story, front to back,” says Simpson. He describes the concept album as a “rollercoaster ride through all the styles of traditional country and bluegrass and mountain music that I love, including gospel and a cappella.” Written and recorded in less than a week, the new album features the same ace musicians who played on last years Cuttin Grass albums and is what Simpson calls “a simple tale of either redemption or revenge.”In a career marked by risktaking and rulebreaking, Simpson has previously challenged genre conventions with 2016’s soulinflected A Sailor’s Guide to Earth, which won the Grammy award for Country Album of the Year and was nominated for Album of the Year, and 2019’s Sound & Fury, which was nominated for Rock Album of the Year.
