A Sailor's Guide to Earth

A Sailor's Guide to Earth
“Singer-songwriter Sturgill Simpson comes through with the classiest country album I've heard in a while.”
A Sailor's Guide to Earth
“Progressive country's lead tastemaker changes his path again. A Sailor's Guide to Earth finds Sturgill Simpson weirder and more adventurous than ever, forging a bold new way forward.”

Regardless, there are no extraneous sounds or ideas on his new album, nothing that’s not battened down to a carefully structured set of lyrics and melodies.”

“The fourth album from the country outlaw is another left-turn with synth-rock at its scuzziest, boogie-rock at its cheesiest, all held together by Simpson’s fearless songwriting.”

High Top Mountain
“Maybe sturg’s most fun album, an all time classic Top 3 songs: You can have the crown, Life ain’t fair and the world is mean, Sitting here without you”

The Ballad of Dood & Juanita
“Can appreciate the story telling and some great bluegrass moments but sometimes it just feels to old timey for me Top 3 songs: Go in peace, Juanita, Ol dood pt1”
