STURGILL SIMPSON  "the ballad of Dood & Juanita"

Kentucky bluegrass dude...
seventh studio album plus one soundtrack album...
this one only clocks in at a paltry 27 minutes and that includes the prologue and epilogue...
a concept album about the old 'frontier' days as it follows the lives of inter-racial lovers Dood and Juanita...
songs include styles in the traditional folk/country, bluegrass, gospel, a-cappella and so-called mountain music...
it is reminiscent of the storytelling of of both Marty Robbins and Willie Nelson and the style of the album is not too far removed from Willie's Red Headed Stranger album, and Willie himself duets with Sturgill on one track...
another classy outing from the ever consistent yet underachieving sales stats Sturgill...
