Country rebel Sturgill Simpson awed by Grammy nom
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Sturgill Simpson’s records have defied easy characterization (Country? Americana? Experimental Southern rock?), but this year The Recording Academy decided whatever genre he was, he made one of the best records of the year. And that’s enough for him.
“The fact that there are a million people around the world Googling my name and trying to figure out who the hell I am right now is just enough for me,” the Kentucky-bred singer said with a laugh during a phone interview Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee.
