Country star Sturgill Simpson has said in the past that he only intends to release five albums under his real name. It looks like he’s sticking to that! Simpson has just announced his upcoming project Passage Du Desir under his new stage name, Johnny Blue Skies. The album will span eight tracks and is set to be released on July 12 through his label, High Top Mountain Records.
