Sturgill Simpson Announces New Bluegrass Album

Sturgill Simpson unveiled that he’s releasing his first solo bluegrass album Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1: The Butcher Shoppe Sessions later this week.

The LP release was intended to be a surprise, but appeared on streaming sites where fans discovered it listed, as Rolling Stone shared.
