2015 has opened the eyes of many people to a genre of music that isn’t prevalent in most circles. Modern country music is saturated with pop hooks and catchy songs, but the duty ol’ scene that the members of the Highway Men prevailed over is a mere memory. If you’re going to listen to another country album that’s not Kacey Musgraves, it’s going to be Sturgill Simpson’s ” Metamodern Sounds In Country Music.” Nothing flashy here or glossy production, just a talented son of a bitch with a knack for writing from Kentucky. Good news for those of you that missed Simpson on his first couple of tours, because he’s going to continue life on the road with some bigger headlining venues until the week of Thanksgiving.
