Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music (CD)

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.
