The British writer Charles Williams once said, "The altar must often be built in one place so that the fire may come down in another place." When Simpson drove himself and his hillbilly instruments from Texas to Nashville at 19, he intended to write and play for other artists. After a genre-spanning career that includes making his own records with Grammy winners like Dan Auerbach and Ricky Skaggs, touring with Mumford and Sons, and writing chart-topping hits for icons like Blake Shelton and George Strait, it's clear Bryan had no idea where the fire would come down. His own records have garnered praise from The Huffington Post, which compared his work to that of David Byrne, Jim James, and Colin Meloy, while Allmusic.com noted that Bryan’s songwriting suggests "a more sanguine, fun-loving Father John Misty."
