Mutiny After Midnight (2026)

"When Sturgill Simpson launched his Johnny Blue Skies alter ego in 2024, it seemed like more of a shift in attitude than approach. His debut, "Passage Du Désir", was almost celebratory, a revival of spirit and creativity. Two years later, he offers a follow-up that, in its own restless way, helps cement the Blue Skies ethos. Described by Simpson as a dance record, "Mutiny After Midnight" combines disco and funk grooves with country-soul, boogie, and straight-up rock & roll. Lyrically, it's also a wild ride, promoting joy, tenderness, and sex while overtly addressing political oppression, cultural collapse, and art as rebellion. It's fiery and unflinching but fun, a reflection of Johnny Blue Skies' outlook over the sometimes more dour Simpson." (Allmusic; 4 uit 5 sterren)
