{"product_id":"cuttin-grass-vol-2-the-cowboy-arms-sessions-1","title":"Cuttin' Grass, Vol. 2: The Cowboy Arms Sessions","description":"Arriving two months after the first volume, Cuttin' Grass, Vol. 2: The Cowboy Arms Sessions is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor -- it is largely devoted to Sturgill Simpson revisiting his catalog, reinterpreting his songs as straight bluegrass -- yet it is a distinct album in its own right. Some of this is due to Simpson recording at a different studio this time -- at the Cowboy Arms Hotel, a Nashville institution founded by \"Cowboy\" Jack Clement -- but much of it is due to Simpson choosing to focus on \"personal\" songs, many first unveiled on the Grammy-winning 2016 LP A Sailor's Guide to Earth. These tunes weather bluegrass interpretations very well, often sounding as if they were designed to be played this way, and they're buttressed with a clutch of earlier songs, including a revival of the rousing \"You Can Have the Crown\" and the unreleased high lonesome \"Tennessee.\" The highlight of this batch is \"Hobo Cartoon,\" a song Simpson wrote years ago with Merle Haggard, a wistful bit of nostalgia that functions as a passing of the torch of sorts. It all adds up to a soulful and absorbing record, one that plays off the strengths of the Butcher Shoppe Sessions and deepens the entire bluegrass revisions project. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300182835487,"sku":"787790344353","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/618fd57dc917df58fcc0e46e5e244442_aec89443-38b1-4b52-aa83-2671e7440f5a.jpg?v=1777569228","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/cuttin-grass-vol-2-the-cowboy-arms-sessions-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
