Sturgill Simpson

Before Sturgill Simpson's captivating performance at KCRW on November 30, 2015, he had just released his breakthrough album, 'Metamodern Sounds in Country Music' in 2014. This album not only showcased his unique blend of traditional country with cosmic elements but also caught the attention of both fans and critics alike, marking a significant turning point in his career. The live recording at Apogee Studios served as a prelude to his next project, 'A Sailor’s Guide to Earth,' which would drop in 2016 and eventually win a Grammy. Interestingly, Simpson’s music marries classic outlaw vibes with modern sensibilities, and his performance here encapsulates that spirit perfectly, making it a must-watch for anyone looking to explore the depths of contemporary country music.
