Johnny Blue Skies / Sturgill Simpson: Passage du Desir
Briefly

The Navy enabled him to see the world and find himself, but on 'Swamp of Sadness,' the ocean is a place of confusion, peril, and suffering... dreams of escape.
Sturgill fantasizes about leaving Nashville on 'Scooter Blues,' accumulating details suggesting a path to freedom: a way to lose oneself and gain another.
The music on Passage du Desir engages with diverse sounds and styles, drawing inspiration from '70s country and avant-garde elements.
'Jupiter's Faerie' envisions a peaceful afterlife, while 'One for the Road' showcases emotional depth without aggression, fitting for a breakup song.
