All right ‘Bulo, buying the Sturgill Simpson CD. The idea of country and psychedelic is far too interesting to pass up.
I like the way it starts as a straight country song, then morphs into something else.
Simpson is in no way your stereotypical country guy. More like a cosmological cowboy. Here’s a cool interview with NPR:

Interesting, the best part of music seems to be blending styles at this point and the best part for me is Alternative Country, all 5,000 variations and counting.
