I love the shot of Little Joe using his little finger to control the volume knob at 00:24. It's amazing how he can make his tele sound like a pedal steel.

It's even cooler than you think! He has flipped his control plate around and wired everything backwards to make this technique possible. Check out a picture of a tele, the knobs and pickup switch are reversed.

Real Blues Country or even Bluegrass you can always understand the singer that's because it's Backwoods I think it's excellent it shows originality and character. Besides you don't have to understand Sturgill and you can still enjoy it the song he sings so damn good this song has a gospel country feel to it.
