      I'm more of a rock and metal guy checking out Sturgill after listen to him on the Joe Rogan podcast, but even coming from a completley diffrent genre its easy to see that guitarist knows his craft. Clean and simple playing, adding some flair when needed but always supporting Sturgill and the song.

      he was on the joe rogan podcast and yeah he hates this song being one of those songs folks always wanna hear, it took him no time to write it and it's silly (although that doesn't decide whether a song is good or not), he says his plan is to write 5 albums total and quit because no matter what he does Nashville has guys like him locked out, so 3 more albums and he's done, this song in my opinion is like that wade bowen song "trucks" where he makes fun of all that crap on the radio, I don't think he was trying to go mainstream with it at all, I've seen some of that with pat green and eli young, going mainstream means becoming a carbon copy poster boy

    • @JoJaDaRu
      @JoJaDaRu Před 9 lety +3

      wheelmanstan There's a self consciousness to this song that is infectious. It is clearly not of the same ilk as the songs you would hear on new country radio mainly because of that self awareness. But sure, it's not his best song, still it's fun and very quotable. This whole album is a lot more fun than MMSICM but it's also not as good. Partly because he isn't going as much for that party country thing (there's certainly less jokes), and partly because he's confident enough to reach a little deeper inside. Either way they're both good albums. I know this song bothered him for some time because he had problems with it, both internally and with how others perceived it.. as you say. But an artist isn't the final arbiter of their work... neither am I but still... that opening line lets you know you're about to have fun right away and to me... that's a good thing.

    • @JoJaDaRu
      @JoJaDaRu Před 9 lety +4

      thatguy On the new album he has a song that starts: "Woke up today and decided to kill my ego, cause it never done me no good no how." - that's a much more a cliche line where I come from but I suppose what is and is not cliche is a matter of the culture you're used to. That opening line, to me, just lets me know I'm about to have some unpretentious fun. The kind of fun I'd have listening to Hank Williams Sr. or Lefty Frizel.

      If you're selling music for money then you're commercial. Simpson last year signed with a major label. I get what you're saying but you don't hear a lot of Jamey Johnson on the radio, so I don't know how you consider him "commercial". And Stapleton has been making Americana music for a long time. Great stuff with the Steeldrivers. I love the stuff I hear from Simpson and he might be the best of the three, but why limit yourself to just one artist or try to crown one the "king"? You're missing the point of the song...if you want it you can have the crown. What is country prowess anyway lol?

    Great live performance at Sun King brewery!

I'm more of a rock 'n roll guy, but I love outlaw country like this! Sturgill is immensely talented. At times he sounds like a throwback, but then you hear his Dood & Juanita album or the Metamodern album where he experiments a lot and you realize this dude is really complex and his musical taste and influences are pretty diverse. Can't wait 'til Sturgill tours again. He's probably my favorite modern country artist. I usually listen to Willie, Johnny Cash, Meryl Haggard - artists like that if I listen to country.

    Every single band member makes me smile. I love this video. I play it at least once a day. Damn good band. 💙
