商品の説明
2016 release, the third album from the country singer/songwriter. Produced by Simpson, A Sailor's Guide To Earth was written-beginning to end-as a letter to his first child who arrived during the summer of 2014 and features eight original songs as well as a rendition of Nirvana's "In Bloom." Recorded primarily at Nashville's The Butcher Shoppe, Simpson was joined in the studio by Grammy Award-winning engineer David Ferguson (Johnny Cash, John Prine, "Cowboy" Jack Clement) and assistant engineer Sean Sullivan. Along with members of his touring band, the album features Dave Roe on bass, Dan Dugmore on steel guitar, Dougie Wilkinson on bagpipes, Garo Yellin and Arthur Cook on cello, Jonathan Dinklage and Whitney LaGrange on violin and special guests The Dap-Kings. A Sailor's Guide To Earth follows his break-through, Grammy-nominated 2014 release, Metamodern Sounds In Country Music. Beloved by critics and fans, the record was featured on year-end "best of" lists at The New York Times, Rolling Stone, the Village Voices' Pazz and Jop, Rolling Stone Country, NPR Music, American Songwriter, Stereogum, the Los Angeles Times, KCRW, Pitchfork, The Washington Post and many others.

Dave Cobbと違って本作はセルフプロデュース、またThe Dap-Kingのホーンセクションを大胆にフューチャーしたR&Bサウンド。
これまた、抜群に渋い、本物のアメリカンミュージック。
60sR&B、ファンク、Wilson PickettやOtis Reddingサウンド、メンフィスソウル、プレスリースタイル、Tony Joeなカントリースワンプ 等が自然と交わる、ヴィンテージなアメリカーナ、オールドソウルミュージック。
Nirvanaカバー「In Bloom」も面白いセレクト、美しいバラッドに仕上がっている。
とにかく、本物!名盤!

The art of sitting down and listening to an entire album from start to finish, with no interruptions, is presumably one most adults don't do.
My brothers and sisters, this ought not be!
I bought the latest CD (not the mp3 download but the case with cover art and everything) of Sturgill Simpson's latest album, A Sailor's Guide to Earth. I had been interested in this album ever since a friend shared the cover of In Bloom with me. At the time, I thought it was interesting but it wasn't until today that I truly "got it". I had also listened to the next release "Live a Little" and knew I had to get the album as soon as it came out, but an mp3 download just didn't seem right. Getting a CD is a throwback for me (since records weren't a player for us in the casette/CD era). The artwork was amazing and I realized I might have been messing up by getting mp3 albums over the past decade or so.
Anyway... Today when I listened to the Nirvana cover in the context of the album, I realized it's perfect. It's a completely new song and taken in context, it fits to tell the story he is telling. Simpson said when he recorded the album, he intended it to be taken as a whole and not carved up to get hits from. This in and of itself is a considerable step up from most other musicians.
One of the most important factors into why it's so good is he wrote these songs and recorded them as a love song to his son, who is still a toddler. It's full of advice from a father to a son and it's told alongside some of the best original music I've heard in years, with lyrics that are quite profound (when I could understand them, which is always a struggle for me). His opening line is one I did understand and it sets the album up perfectly:
Hello, my son
Welcome to earth
You may not be my last, but you'll always be my first
The rest of the song continues down the same path, hitting all the daddies right in the place where all the feels are stored.
There hasn't been a country concept album like this since Red Headed Stranger, at least that I can recall. As amazing as that album by his Willie-ness is, it doesn't have the heart that Simpson put into his... And frankly, this isn't even a country album. It's just what I would call "really, really, ridiculously good music", without a clearly defined genre.
Since the album is one continuous flow of thought, the songs blend together to form a cohesive mesh of country, rock, funk, and everything in between (except rap - Simpson clearly got the memo there are some things you just can't mix). The guitars make your jaw drop with the sick work done by Laur Joamets, the horns are blasting some of the funkiest riffs I've heard in years, and the overall musicianship is stellar. I still can't believe he produced it himself, which tells me this guy is on that upper level of musical genius we rarely have the opportunity to actually see in action.
There are some standout tracks but now that I've heard it together, I'm going to have a difficult time putting it on while I'm in the car or in any situation where I can't devote the entire 40 or so minutes to listen to it the way the artist meant for it to be listened to and the only way it should. If he plays these songs on tour in any other way than start to finish like they're laid out in the album, it'll be a travesty.
That said, if there is anyone I know who appreciates art, being a parent, amazing music, the Navy, all the above, one of the above, or none of the above, you need to get this album and figure out how to sit down with some headphones on and really listen to it. I did it whole mowing today and my yard has never looked better. I promise you will not regret it.
I was on my second listen through the album when the family came home from a skating party. Instead of listening to it again, I decided to "live a little" and invited my son onto the mower to help me finish mowing. I am ashamed to admit this is the first time I've ever squeezed him onto the mower because it might take a little longer to mow while he's with me. Well I'm thankful to God for giving Sturgill Simpson the ability to write beautiful songs and amazing music that can help this struggling dad connect the dots a little better.
Hopefully Simpson will continue to have kids and continue to keep sending them love letters.
*Disclaimer* I think his first two albums are absolutely fantastic as well.

Dopo l’album “breakout” del 2014 “Metamodern Sounds in Country Music” ( imperdibile ), qui scrive una lettera aperta al figlio di 2 anni e crea nuovi ambienti per sentimenti sia pur tradizionali.
Qui ci sono il sax di Memphis, gli ottoni di New Orleans, c’è il soul degli anni ’60, c’è addirittura una cover dei Nirvana, In Bloom, ...ascoltatela e ci tornerete su non so quante volte.
Album sorprendente, brillante, ben confezionato: ascoltatelo 2, 3 volte e diventerà indimenticabile.
Definitivamente uno dei migliori di questo primo semestre 2016.
