(Radio.com) When Sturgill Simpson announced his new studio album A Sailor's Guide To Earth, many were surprise by the inclusion of a cover of Nirvana's "In Bloom."

"For me, that song has always summed up what it means to be a teenager, and I think it tells a young boy that he can be sensitive and compassionate," Simpson told Relix.

"I wanted to make a very beautiful and pure homage to Kurt." Simpson's stripped down country take is a drastic departure from the original. Check out the cover here.
