re: Sturgill "Cuttin' Grass"

You don’t know that until you hear it re engineered. I like the Cure and I like bluegrass. Cure aside, the point is there are multitudes of bands that can easily do this concept. But prob feel it’s too gimmicky. Well deserved? That’s ridiculous. The Wooks or Sam Bush (and so many others) are well deserved of money being made off bluegrass but they won’t see it. Here we have someone who is just inverting or re-packaging previously successful commercial albums into another format. That’s just taking advantage of a built in following. He’s just created a sales funnel. Here’s my lead magnet, now sign up for my newsletter. Buy my products. Prob a joke even to him.

I called but it just rang until a busy signal. What was it

The Cure could hire bluegrass musicians and just remix Disintegration

Are The Cure from Kentucky?

I mean, I get what you mean here but the original intent (per Sturgill) was to release these songs how he originally wrote them. I've enjoyed the shite out of it thus far, especially the new ones.

Also, I'm now curious to hear a bluegrass Radiohead song.

I like it...but still want new stuff.

100% this is a great album of old songs redone. all proceeds go to charity. im sure he's sitting on a ton of new songs as well.

If you're from the Commonwealth, you may want to get the limited edition Blue version from VMP

It's been done. Here ya go....

Punch Brothers - Kid A

Punch Brothers have a lot of bluegrass roots, though not sure I'd label them entirely bluegrass. But still a great cover.

I think I am def missing the point. But look forward to the EDM repurposed album.

again, not the point. anyways, he's fulfilled his contract with elektra now so he's off the hook from them. this album's $ goes towards charity.

also there's this quote:

quote:

---

“Maybe if you don’t want to be on a record label anymore, you make a record they can’t market,” he said, “then you get them to spend a million bucks on an animation film and refuse to promote it, and leave them holding this giant un-recouped debt.

with sturgill, there seems to always be a plan

Oh frick yes! That was about as strangely bad arse as I expected it to be. Side note, my old college roommate looks like a short Chris Thile.

quote:

few standouts(I really like the Just Let Go and I Don't Mind)

Im not entirely through but I don’t mind seems to be the star of the show so far. Some other good stuff but that’s the standout on the first listen.
