Apr 15, 2016Whether by Simpson’s own design or in spite of it, A Sailor’s Guide to Earth is ahead of its time.
-
Apr 14, 2016Overall, the album is strikingly intimate.
-
Apr 14, 2016As singer, songwriter, producer and bandleader, Simpson juggled his own destiny on A Sailor’s Guide to Earth without dropping the baby. Afforded creative freedom many felt would be stifled, Simpson’s latest musical offspring is a love letter we can all cherish. Ahmet Ertegun would be proud.
-
Apr 13, 2016A skilled interpreter, Simpson’s bruised baritone murmur morphs to fit the contours of each song.
-
Apr 19, 2016A Sailor's Guide to Earth is such a rearrangement of Simpson's sonic universe that any previous categorization now seems out of date.
-
Apr 14, 2016“Welcome to Earth (Pollywog)” starts the record with a foreboding sound that moves to stately piano and tremolo strings before exploding into soul. Nirvana’s “In Bloom” is turned into sweeping countrypolitan; “All Around You” offers killer country soul. “A Sailor’s Guide” confirms that Simpson isn’t content to stand in the same place for very long.
-
Apr 18, 2016Not all of it gels, but as a treatise on male absence, Sturgill’s Guide is heartfelt.
