Sturgill Simpson, never one to do what is expected of him, surprises fans with Vol. 1 of Cuttin’ Grass. He joins a cast of bluegrass musicians to rework songs that span most of his career including songs from his little known early country/rock band Sunday Valley. Of course, it works because Simpson can make anything work. No matter if he is working with traditional country sounds, psychedelic inspired country, funky horn sections or the electrified country rock of his most recent full length of new material, Sound & Fury, he is able to make it work and reach out to a wider audience than most musicians would be able to reach. The eclectic sounds that he has collected over the course of his career is part of his charm.
