Sturgill Simpson has announced the release of his first solo bluegrass album, ‘Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1: The Butcher Shoppe Sessions’ which comes out today. Or tomorrow, whichever way you look at his Instagram post on it. The album, a follow up to 2019’s ‘Sound and Fury’ was meant to be a surprise release but those pesky fans spotted its early listing on an online streaming site.
“Welp,..was hoping to surprise everybody on Thursday but somebody somewhere (Germany) got all excited and just couldn’t hold their horses,” Simpson wrote on Instagram featuring the album’s cover art which you can see below. “And yes,..this is actually the album cover.”

The album will feature 20 songs, including bluegrass renditions of tracks from his first three albums alongside songs dating back to his mid-2000s band Sunday Valley. It was recorded at Nashville’s Butcher Shoppe studio. The album will be released physically on green and yellow vinyl.
