The Ballad of Dood & Juanita

Vinyl LP pressing. Inspired by classic concept albums like Willie Nelson's "Red-Headed Stranger," Sturgill Simpson's "The Ballad of Dood & Juanita" is the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter's third album in twelve months, marking his most ambitious project to date. Written and recorded in under a week, and featuring the same talented musicians from 2020's "Cuttin' Grass" albums, this record narrates a timeless American tale of a Civil War-era couple separated by violence and reunited by love - what Sturgill describes as "a simple tale of either redemption or revenge." "The Ballad of Dood & Juanita" stands as Simpson's first album of all-new original music since his Grammy-nominated "Sound & Fury" in 2019. Produced by Sturgill and David Ferguson, the album was recorded in Nashville at the Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa. The legendary Willie Nelson makes a special appearance as the featured lead guitarist on the track "Juanita."
