<p dir="auto"> Available now on Atlantic Records (purchase <a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewwsakaejhbharahaxaebseu/click.php">here</a>), the album continues to receive overwhelming critical acclaim—<a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewwuataejhbhavahagaebseu/click.php">Pitchfork</a> proclaims, “<i>A Sailor’s Guide to Eart</i><i>h</i> finds Sturgill Simpson weirder and more adventurous than ever, forging a bold new way forward” and goes on to assert, “&#8221;It’s a deeply personal album that, while establishing Simpson as the defining songwriter of his class, displays an artistic growth that defies any sort of easy label.” Additionally, <i><a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewweapaejhbhafahacaebseu/click.php">Rolling Stone</a></i> awarded the album 4-stars calling it, “a spectacular mic drop of a third LP,” while <i><a href="http://t.yml p17.com/bewwmavaejhbhalaharaebseu/click.php">The New York Times</a></i> praises, “<i>Sailor’s Guide</i> is rowdier, more emotionally insular and also far more musically surprising, an album of raw country cut with rich and messy Southern soul and sleek orchestral bombast” and <i>Esquire Magazine </i>declares, “It’s hard to believe any other record this year will raise as many eyebrows, invite as many questions, or be as instantly beloved.” Moreover, <a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewwjaiaejhbhatahaxaebseu/click.php">NPR Music</a> describes “<a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewwbadaejhbhacahaoaebseu/click.php">Brace For Impact (Live A Little)</a>,” as “thrilling new music,” while <a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewwhataejhbhaoahaoaebseu/click.php">Stereogum</a> calls “<a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewwwaiaejhbharahaoaebseu/click.php">In Bloom</a>,” “transcendent…Simpson turne d ‘In Bloom’ into first a weepy, twangy ballad and then a celebratory blast of brass, his drawl doing justice to Cobain’s lyrics all the while.”</p>
<p dir="auto">Earlier this year, Simpson performed “<a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewwqapaejhbhanahapaebseu/click.php">All Around You</a>” on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “<a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewwyavaejhbhazahapaebseu/click.php">Brace For Impact (Live A Little)</a>” on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “<a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewqsazaejhbhaiahaoaebseu/click.php">In Bloom</a>” and “<a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewquacaejhbhadahagaebseu/click.php">Call To Arms</a>” on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” and “<a href="http://t.ymlp17.com/bewqeaiaejhbhaxah azaebseu/click.php">Oh Sarah</a>” on “Conan.”</p>
