New Sturgill Simpson!

Sturgill Simpson today announced the forthcoming (May 13) release of his new album Metamodern Sounds in Country Music and the streaming of a new tune, "Living the Dream" on Paste. Here's a live recording of the song from when I saw him in 2013. At the time, Simpson wasn't ready for the tune to be unleashed upon the world, but with the Paste post making it official... well, here you go:

St. Paul and the Broken Bones - Broken Bones & Pocket Change

There's still a minute or two to "discover" this band before everybody else in the world. Their new album, Half the City, came out yesterday and it's a soul/R&B/garage-rock debut nearly as strong as Alabama Shakes' celebrated bow. Highly recommended for fans of Black Joe Lewis, Alabama Shakes, Otis Redding, James Brown, Lee Bains III & the Glory Fires. Just wait till you hear this voice...
