Cuttin' Grass is out now!

pretty close:

I could see him releasing some de-lectrified of this in six months, just stripped-down versions of the same songs.

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

eight months pass...

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.
