    I came to Sturgill Simpson after reading an interview with Merle Haggard,he was asked who he listens to these days,Expressing some disappointment in what Merle said passes for country music these days he said Sturgill Simpson.....He's the real deal.Thank you Merle and thank you Sturgill for keeping country real!!

      @@andreichukanov4180.... Could you give me some examples of newer country acts who "dress up" ?
      I see more dressing down, (Big beards, t-shirts, jeans) but I'm not sure what bands you are talking about..
      Look up some of those Country show from the 50s and 60s (especially the color broadcasts) Porter Wagner or Buck Owens Shows (But not Hee Haw) or Ernest Tubb's show are also good examples.
      I think it would be interesting for someone to bring back that visual aspect of country music performance.

      I feel the same way about Stu and also about Billy Strings. I guess I like bluegrass AND outlaw country now. I'm a rock guitar player and dig heavy melodic rock music for the most part, but I have always liked great playing and songwriting but these guys are off the charts. Vocal harmonies, the playing, the storytelling in the songs....epic.

    I have never wanted to be anywhere as much as I would have wanted to be at that show that night to see Sturgill Simpson that was one hell of a show. Tom Petty has always been my Top Shelf guy. But a little late to the game I have found Country Music and gone country crazy. I think T.P. Is going to need to slide over a little on that top shelf. I’m hooked. I asked my grandson what kind of music he listened to and he said country of course.I said why of course ( he is 17 ) he said Mimi I was born and raised in N.C. The love and need for this kind of music is in your gut, heart and soul. These new young guns that are coming to the forefront are great.
