Album Notes & Community Reviews
The second installment in a surprise two-part bluegrass project, 'Cuttin' Grass: Vol. 2 - The Cowboy Arms Sessions' offers a more personal and compositionally focused reinterpretation of Sturgill Simpson's back catalog. Backed by a virtuosic ensemble of players dubbed 'The Hillbilly Avengers', the album strips down songs from across his career, allowing the intricate songwriting and lyrics to take center stage with a more deliberate and emotional weight than its predecessor. Notably, the album features deeper cuts and two previously unreleased songs, including 'Hobo Cartoon,' which was co-written with Merle Haggard.
