If you know Sturgill Simpson, then you know Johnny Blue Skies. He got the name from a bartender when he was just getting started singing open mics (can you imagine seeing him back then?!) As Pitchfork describes this, β€œThe album threads disco stabs through country rock and political lyrics, a soundtrack for the best party at the end of the world.”
