    I don't think I have ever seen any performance where there are so many obvious influences coming through in the performance. I know he is singing covers but singing a Nirvana song like he is George Jones. One minute I'm seeing Stevie Ray Vaughn and minute later it's Stevie Wonder, it's Neil Dimond then it's George Straight and Waylon Jennings then Otis Redding but in the end it's all Sturgill. Got to love it.

Tyler absolutely killed it, can't say a bad word about his performance. Sturgill I was less pumped on. As much as I love Sturgill, the Rock & Roll Sturgill is my least favorite variant. It was a good show, but there was a lot of jam banding business and it was SOOOOO loud, you could barely hear him.
      That said, I absolutely love the new bluegrass album, it's about all I've listened to since it came out, can't wait for the 2nd one!!!

Even his "God awful" sin album which I hate that freaking sound (it is sin, perfectly represents) is good. Bless the man and his God given talent. Seems to be gettin thru the rough part of life.

    Sturgill can do anything man, he’s like the Superman of music. The guy transcends country and could do just about anything except maybe rap and make it kill. Hell, he could probably rap too, lol

      He did funk, soul and R&B (Original, not new school), I mean, he probably COULD rap. He just really doesn't have to. He can do it all, clearly. You said it, Superman, it's just intense to behold.
      Then after this he did the bluegrass album, which just completely kills. Then you hear him talk and he's just a real dude. Down to Earth, not at all pretentious. You only get one of these a generation, IF you're lucky, bless it.
