Sturgill Simpson unveiled that he’s releasing his first solo bluegrass album Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1: The Butcher Shoppe Sessions later this week.
The LP release was intended to be a surprise, but appeared on streaming sites where fans discovered it listed, as Rolling Stone shared.
“Welp,..was hoping to surprise everybody on Thursday but somebody somewhere (Germany) got all excited and just couldn’t hold their horses,” Simpson posted on Instagram. “And yes,..this is actually the album cover.”
Simpson’s upcoming album features 20 songs and bluegrass remasters of tracks from his first three albums. No preorder is currently available, but a vinyl pressing has been teased as well.
