Sturgill Simpson Preps Johnny Blue Skies Album ‘Mutiny After Midnight’
Mutiny After Midnight, by Johnny Blue Skies and the Dark Clouds, will be released only on vinyl, CD, and cassette
Johnny Blue Skies has returned, and he’s ready to groove. Sturgill Simpson‘s alter ego will release Mutiny After Midnight, out March 13.
Written spontaneously and made with his band the Dark Clouds, Johnny Blue Skies recorded and produced the album at Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound in Nashville. The whole process was a spontaneous affair, in order to capture the vibe. “There’s a simple goal we as a band set out to achieve: to make a dance record,” he said in a statement.
The album features nine tracks, kicking off with the opener “Make America Fuk Again” (“Maybe things have been worse but I can’t remember when/Wanna start a revolution and watch it begin,” read the lyrics) and concluding with “Ain’t That a Bitch.” Catch the full track list below.
Mutiny After Midnight follows Johnny Blue Skies’ 2024 debut Passage Du Desir, which landed at No. 2 on Rolling Stone‘s list of the Best Country and Americana Albums of the year. Mutiny After Midnight will be released via Atlantic Outpost, on vinyl, cassette, and CD only.
“I wrote words to what is happening in the world and my life in real time, and played with a group of musicians I deeply love and respect,” Simpson said. “Together, we made an album that is very fun, and will hopefully offer some relief from darkness in the world.”
Simpson spent last year on the road, including an appearance at the Grateful Dead 60th anniversary celebration in San Francisco in August (like he did at the Kennedy Center Honors in late 2024, he performed “Ripple”). Hopefully, Mutiny After Midnight tour dates are incoming.
