On his latest album
Sound & Fury (2019), Sturgill Simpson created more than ever his own, almost psychedelic universe in which country music played only a minor role. It's amazing how, on Cuttin' Grass, he returns to unadulterated country and bluegrass. An unadorned sound in which mandolin, banjo and fiddle predominate. For this he chose repertoire from his own oeuvre; songs that originally flew in
… all directions and are now reduced to the essence. Or back to Nashville, where Simpson Cuttin' Grass brought together a selection of traditional country musicians. The company plays the songs of Simpsons in a casual and informal way, which does the atmosphere of Cuttin' Grass well. (MR)more
