Turns out ol' Sturgill was gearing up to surprise us, but someone in Deutschland got ahead of the curve and put the album online a wee bit early:

Welp,..was hoping to surprise everybody on Thursday but somebody somewhere (Germany) got all excited and just couldn’t hold their horses. Anyway,.. “Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 - The Butcher Shoppe Sessions” dropping 10/16 (midnight Thursday) And yes,..this is actually the album cover.

Surprise or not, we're just pumped to get our ears a taste of it. If you missed it early on in the worldwide pandemic Sturgill and his fans raised around $230,000 for various charities he supports, for which Sturgill promised us a new album in 2020. This is that album, which'll feature several of his biggest hits bluegrass style.

On June 1st, the Grammy winner shared a (now deleted) video to Instagram where he introduced fans to several folks as he made his way through a studio, then turned the camera on himself and said, “Get your Zyrtec ready cause we cuttin’ that grass.”

So as Simpson sets to make-good on that promise I will try not to dwell on the fact that had we raised $1 million we'd be getting more.
