Cuttin' Grass, Vol. 1: The Butcher Shoppe Sessions is the fifth album by American country musician Sturgill Simpson, released on October 16, 2020, through Simpson's own label, High Top Mountain. The album consists of bluegrass renditions of songs from elsewhere in his catalog.[1][2][3][4]
Content
Simpson had expressed his desire to record a bluegrass album as early as 2017. Both volumes were recorded earlier in 2020 after Simpson had recovered from coronavirus;[5] he and the musicians on the record performed a livestreamed concert at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on June 5, 2020, as a promise to fans who raised nearly $250,000 for COVID-19 relief.[6]
Recorded at the Butcher Shoppe Recording Studio, the album includes various bluegrass musicians such as guitarists Tim O'Brien and Mark Howard, banjoist Scott Vestal, fiddler Stuart Duncan, and mandolinist/backing vocalist Sierra Hull. The album consists of bluegrass re-recordings of previous songs in Simpson's catalog, including not only those from his solo albums, but also those from the band Sunday Valley, of which he was a member prior to beginning his solo career.[7]
Critical reception
Stephen M. Deusner of Pitchfork rated the album 7.4 out of 10, stating that "As a country artist, Simpson is determinedly subversive; as a bluegrass artist, he’s incredibly conservative. There are none of the abrupt stylistic changes that made [A Sailor's Guide to Earth] sound as big as the world and none of the sonic experiments that made [Metamodern Sounds in Country Music] such a trip. Simpson can’t quite sustain a double album in this style, and Cuttin' Grass loses some steam toward the end. However, there are more than enough bracing moments here to make you wonder what Volume 2 will sound like".[7] Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album 4.5 out of 5 in the review for AllMusic, concluding that "Part of Simpson's appeal lies in how he blurs genres, so it's a bit ironic that this single-minded collection is one of his best records, but it is: it's an album where the joy in the music's creation is palpable and infectious."[8]

Sturgill Simpson (* 8. Juni 1978 in Jackson, Kentucky) ist ein US-amerikanischer traditioneller Countrymusiker.
Karriere
Sturgill Simpson begann seine musikalische Karriere mit der Band Sunday Valley, die von 2004 bis 2011 bestand. Danach begann er eine Solokarriere und arbeitete an seinem Debütalbum. High Top Mountain erschien 2013, es war ein moderater Erfolg in den Countrycharts und etablierte ihn als Musiker in dem Genre in der Tradition von Waylon Jennings. Bei seinem zweiten Album Metamodern Sounds in Country Music arbeitete er mit dem Produzenten Dave Cobb zusammen. Damit erreichte er die Top 10 der Countrycharts und platzierte sich auch in den offiziellen Albumcharts. Bei den Americana Music Awards wurde er 2014 als Newcomer und 2015 als bester Musiker ausgezeichnet. Das Album erhielt eine Grammy-Nominierung in der Americana-Kategorie.
Bis zu seinem nächsten Album ließ sich Simpson diesmal zwei Jahre Zeit. Das Konzeptalbum A Sailor’s Guide to Earth war seine erste Veröffentlichung beim Major-Label Atlantic und stieg im April 2016 auf Platz 1 der Country- und auf Platz 3 der Verkaufscharts ein. Es konnte sich auch im Ausland in den Charts platzieren. Bei den Grammy Awards 2017 erhielt er dafür die Auszeichnung als Countryalbum des Jahres, in der Hauptkategorie „Album des Jahres“ war es ebenfalls nominiert.
Sturgill Simpson veröffentlichte 2019 die Single „The Dead Don’t Die“, den Titelsong zum gleichnamigen Film von Jim Jarmusch. Sein Album Cuttin’ Grass – Vol. 1 (Butcher Shoppe Sessions) erhielt 2021 eine Grammy-Nominierung in der Kategorie Bestes Bluegrass Album.
