The Ballad of Dood & Juanita
by Sturgill Simpson
Operating as a fully realized, traditional concept album, the acclaimed songwriter weaves a cinematic narrative set during the Civil War regarding a frontiersman rescuing his kidnapped wife. Recorded live in less than a week with a world-class ensemble of bluegrass musicians, the incredibly focused, concise record entirely eschews modern country-pop tropes. It serves as a brilliant homage to classic mountain music and western storytelling.
