"Sing Along" comes off SOUND & FURY, the fourth Sturgill Simpson album, which Elektra released in September 2019, and anyone who still filed him under country was in for a jolt: the record dives headlong into hard rock, psychedelia, blues and funk. Simpson wrote it, sings it, plays guitar on it and produced it, with Chuck Bartels, Bobby Emmett, Miles Miller and John Hill as co-producers.
Bartels plays bass, Emmett synthesizer and keyboards and Miller drums and percussion, with James Gadson adding more drums on top, and Simpson mixed it with Paul Cossette, who recorded it. The whole album came packaged with a dystopian anime film on Netflix that Simpson wrote and produced with Japanese director Junpei Mizusaki, which tells you how far he was willing to go to leave his country roots behind.
