Description
Metamodern Sounds In Country Music follows Simpsons highly acclaimed debut album, High Top Mountain, which The New York Times called an, excellent debut album full of finely drawn songs both sad and tough and Uncut Magazine, "a terrific debut album - a ravishing confection of classic country".
Produced once again by friend and trusted collaborator Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Lindi Ortega, Jamey Johnson), the album was recorded live-to-tape at Nashvilles LCS studio over four days in late 2013. For the recording, Simpson was joined by his touring band bassist Kevin Black, guitarist Laur Joamets and drummer Miles Miller.
Of the album, Simpson comments, Myriad worldly offerings religion, drugs, and more all claim to be the omnipotent universal truth, but in my experience, love is the only certainty. Thats what this record is about.
Simpsons portrait on the album cover was designed by friend and painter Jason Seiler, who is perhaps best known for illustrating Pope Francis XVI for TIME Magazines 2013 Person of the Year issue in addition to contributing art to publications such as The New York Times, Rolling Stone and The Wall Street Journal.
