Sturgill Simpson, Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 2: The Cowboy Arms Sessions, 2020 on High Top Mountain
Follow up to Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1, released a couple of months later. More bluegrass renditions of Simpson’s catalog.
The band again includes many well known bluegrass musicians: Stuart Duncan, Sierra Hull, Miles Miller, Mark Howard, Tim O’Brien, Scott Vestal,and Mike Bub.
Although there isn’t an explicit recorded-at credit, The Cowboy Arms is Jack Clement’s studio in Nashvile. (Mark Howard and the Cowboy Arms link this release to Townes Van Zandt’s At My Window I posted earlier this week).
My copy is the “Indie Retail” edition on blue and white swirl vinyl with a “glow in the dark” jacket. Via a record fair at Mill No. 5.

Sturgill Simpson is one of my favorite contemporary artists, who generally gets classified as a Country artist but here breaks out into bluegrass. The Butcher Shoppe is actually a studio in Nashville set up by David Ferguson and John Prine. (There's also a Nashville studio called The Butcher Shop, operated by Butch Walker). The band
