Sturgill Simpson Says He’s “Done” With Elektra Records

Sturgill Simpson

Sturgill Simpson talked with Uproxx about how he’s “done” Elektra Records:

Maybe if you don’t want to be on a record label anymore, you make a record they can’t market, then you get them to spend a million bucks on an animation film and refuse to promote it, and leave them holding this giant un-recouped debt. Maybe the bean counters will make a decision for me. I can go back to just doing it myself better than they do. That’s what I’ve learned. Because they don’t know what the fuck to do with me.
