Sturgill Simpson’s ‘Metamodern Sounds’ Is Still Reshaping Country Music

Sturgill Simpson is releasing a 10-year anniversary edition of 'Metamodern Sounds in Country Music,' an album that brought about a sea change in country music., was released, the Number One song on country radio was Brantley Gilbert’s Nickelback-ified ode to women in short shorts and the boys who bring them to the tailgate. It was calledthat Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, and Gilbert helped turn into a reliable cash cow.

is an album that shows how the best music can come when you’re respectful of the past but fearless about the future. There’s as much Bakersfield twang and bluegrass-inspired picking as there is renegade, Beatles-esque studio experimentalism. To create the sound that ushers in and out the masterful “It Ain’t Flowers,” Simpson and Cobb ran already recorded tape backwards through the console, resulting in a composed chaos that hits more Seventies funk than anything else.

But for the most part, Music Row tried to ignore all that, especially Simpson the artist. Despite massive critical acclaim forand furious late-night rounds, he wasn’t welcomed into the “country music family.” His songs weren’t played on country radio, and he wasn’t nominated for country music awards . The institutional support that Nashville showers on its chosen people was nowhere to be found when it came to Simpson.
