• Track Listing

A few months ago, Simpson—who arrived as a heralded country star before emerging as a fervid foe of genre classification—released "Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 (The Butcher Shoppe Sessions)," a bluegrass twist on songs from his first three albums. Now, on CD or vinyl, comes volume two, and it’s even more of a hoot. Sierra Hull, Tim O’Brien and Stuart Duncan are among the aces who play "Call to Arms," "Oh Sarah," "Sea Stories," "Hero," "Jesus Boogie," "Tennessee," "Some Days," "Hobo Cartoon" and more! High Top Mountain.
