Looking fwd to those. He takes his record collection personally, maybe especially on this 'un, which made my Nashville Scene Top Ten---ballot comments:
i'm a sucker for gleaming pop-country, sez a fellow Marenite. Wal now, have you heard Sturgill's Sound and Fury yet? I just did, and right off, seems like this ZZ Rex electro-pop-boogie, sometimes also reminding me of Neil and the Trans Band (more the show tapes than studio album), might suit you too. It's much less windbaggy than I feared---and the non-pedantic retro detailing, commercial inclusiveness x righteous fencepost grievances x deserty-hot-cold broodiness, also that voice, keep it all country or countryoid. Also 'ppreciate how he keeps twisting the dial into another track at just the right moment, or close enough. It's another hard candy Christmas alright.

pretty close:
I could see him releasing some de-lectrified of this in six months, just stripped-down versions of the same songs.― ... (Eazy), Tuesday, October 1, 2019 9:17 AM (one year ago)

I guess Sound and Fury somehow has fans among Grammy voters? (Best Rock Album nominee.)

Cod reggae is widely defined as reggae that is "inauthentic" and lacks the soul of authentic reggae that comes from Jamaica. It's widely used for reggae made by white people, though black artists have also made cod reggae (Maxi Priest).

Hah! New Cuttin' Grass volume is out today. A bit more adventurous, a lot shorter, sounds real good

Nothing about his Willie Nelson style concept record (which also happens to feature ol' Willie himself)? It's great, pretty much same lineup as the Cuttin' Grass sessions afaict.

it is really good!
so do i have this right? Stu:- made a couple real good records on his own- got signed to a big label- got pissed off at that label- spent a bunch of the label's money flying to Japan a few times to make an anime film to go alongside his "fuck my label" album- said "fuck my label" and got out of his deal (can't remember if he got dropped or the deal was up)- went home and made three good bluegrass records with basically the best pickers in the world
that's pretty badass

That's essentially what I understand.

The bluegrass albums are ridiculously good and were way underrated last year, especially Vol. 2. The new one is his most reverent effort to date, drawing on old trail and cowboy music, bluegrass, and traditional country and western. His singing's never been better, too. Can't fail with a song about a good boy dog but "Juanita" is probably my favorite.
