Metamodern Sounds in Country Music
by Sturgill SimpsonProduced by Dave Cobb
The story
Recorded in four days at Cobb's old Studio A. Took the Waylon-Haggard template and shoved it through reverb, psychedelia, and a Charlie Rich-grade vocal.
Reception
Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album. Single-handedly reset what 'country' was allowed to do in the 2010s.
