The seventh studio album from Sturgill Simpson with guest Willie Nelson on “Juanita.” A concept album set in Kentucky during the Civil War, this may be the last album under his own name.

I just love Simpson’s approach to music and composition as well as the whole band here, which includes: Sierra Hull, Stuart Duncan, Scott Vestal, Tim O’Brien, Mike Bub, Mark Howard, Sam Bacco, Jelly Roll Johnson, Russ Pahl, and Miles Miller. (Bob Clement gets credited for “tacos, soup beans, brownies”).

My copy, via a private sale, is the 2022 “indie exclusive” on “natural” vinyl.
