Sturgill Simpson The Ballad Of Dood & Juanita
Release Date: August 20, 2021
Label: High Top Mountain
Inspired by such classic concept albums as Willie Nelson's Red-Headed Stranger, Sturgill Simpson's The Ballad Of Dood & Juanita is the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter's third album in twelve months, and his most ambitious project to date.
Written and recorded in less than a week, and featuring the same ace musicians who played on last year's Cuttin' Grass albums, the record tells a classic American story of a Civil War-era couple torn apart by violence and reunited by love - what Simpson calls "a simple tale of either redemption or revenge.
