Simpson jumped into his new career with only one guiding principle: to always be himself and steer clear of trends. “When I sit down to write and sing,” he says, “what comes out is what’s on this record. I can’t try to be someone else.” High Top Mountain—named after a landmark in Kentucky not far from where Simpson grew up—was recorded primarily at Falling Rock, the Nashville home studio of producer Dave Cobb. Further recording took place at Hillbilly Central, the studio favoured by such legends as Waylon Jennings and Tompall Glaser. The album features Country Music Hall of Fame pianist Hargus “Pig” Robbins and steel guitarist Robby Turner. Says Simpson, “Dave told me, ‘If you want to make it sound like the old records, let’s get the guys who played on the old records.’ It was surreal to be sitting in a vocal booth playing guitar and looking through a glass window and there’s Pig Robbins in front of you. I had to step up my game.” Artist Sturgill Simpson Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Loose Music Buying Options 180g 1LP Includes Download Code Format 180g , 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1.
