Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor's Guide to Earth LPAn old fashioned concept album, one that tells a story it's a letter to his newborn son, telling him how to become a man and is dressed in garish art suited to the side of a panel van. The overarching aesthetics are a throwback to the golden age of vinyl but Simpson is too smart to succumb to mere revivalism: he seeks to expand, not retract, and the journey is more important than the destination.
