Sturgill Simpson : High Top Mountain (10th Anniversary) (Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl)

High Top Mountain certainly leaned traditional, but it also set the precedent that Simpson was notan artist content to coast, was not someone just trying to write the easiest song to ride to the top.He was willing to put in the work, and hire $25,000 worth of studio time and band members to makehis vision a reality, and didnt very much care what happened next. Only that hed done it. Freedom,as a famous country singer once wrote for Janis Joplin, is just another word for nothing left to lose.The most free performer weve had these last 10 years is Simpson, who took a trip to High TopMountain and never came back down.
