Episode 174: Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor's Guide To Earth

The historic Howard Theatre in Washington, DC is in trouble. Again. How did we get here and what the hell can anyone do about it?

Sturgill Simpson has followed up his breakout album Metamodern Sounds In Country Music, with the ambitious, genre hopping, expectation defying love letter to his son, A Sailor’s Guide To Earth. Is it another masterpiece or has the country “outlaw” bit off more than he can chew this time out? We aim to find out.

Merle Haggard is gone and that that f%&ing sucks. We listen to some country and shed a tear of the loss of this legendary songwriter.

Show Notes
  • "Money problems and no-name acts: The Howard Theatre is struggling. Again." [Washington Post]
  • "Here’s How To And Why We Must “Save” The Howard Theatre & Bohemian Caverns" [One Love Massive]
  • Dammit. RIP Merle
