No problem. This man deserves every ounce of support and respect that he gets.

BLAST OFF BUDDY!

@@CS2tipsnclipsor just smoke 💨

The radio's been a racket for decades now.

You damn right

Sure ain't dead, all ya here nowadays is weak fake ass country bullshit catered to the fuckin pussys ya see walkin around your local malls. Country ain't dead at all we just gotta start moppin up the mess and knockin heads.

Damn straight. Seems like a pop princess wearing boots and a hat and someone accidentally bringing a banjo on set while the music video is being filmed makes a song "country" these days. No thank you.

Welcome

Welcome to America friend

Welcome to the club we meet on Tuesdays! 🎉

Well, from an honorary Aussie with a little Kiwi cred, it's a pleasure meeting a random Sheila on an Outlaw Country song. This is not self-promotion, but I have been reacting to Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham, The Seekers, Delta Goodrem, Vanessa Amorosi, Max Merritt, and many others. The only reason I bring this up is that I grew up on country music just like this. I live in North Carolina, in the southern states, even though it's "North." lol I think a lot about the music industry, particularly when it comes to artists like John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes when they came over here. Even if they had gone to Muscle Shoals, things might have been different. But it has changed everywhere within the country music industry these days, in my opinion. It's apparent when they edit all their artists; they don't even have the explicit lyrics label available. Apparently, you can't be a country star and put one of those on your album. I may stand corrected if someone knows of a country music album with that label, but I have never seen one. The country music I grew up with didn't have to include a lot of cursing. They did every now and then, and they also did bad things sometimes. Country music was not always rosy or pretty; it was real. Jimmy Barnes in the pub rock scene in Australia back in the day reminds me very much of the outlaw country, classic country, or "forbidden" country, whatever label the industry puts on it these days. I think I may be one of the biggest Americans promoting Australian music and maybe the biggest advocate for older country now because most channels just play the newer stuff. I don't want to come into videos, chat rooms, or anywhere and promote my channel, but we've covered Aretha Franklin, Tool, and many other artists from all around the world. Simpson, a big fan of Sturgill, started our channel. But despite his popularity, Sturgill hasn't even been invited to some country music awards. In the same years he wasn't invited, he won Country Music Artist of the Year at the Grammys. So, this says a lot in itself. They are too worried about the "rich men north of Richmond," but I'm concerned about the poor folk south of Norfolk. Sturgill Simpson is Living Proof a Country Boy's Outlaw music will SURVIVE

Hey mate have you ever seen a wombat???

Honcho

read this as i was listening to this the first time right before he said it ahahaha

He finally found it on the cutting grass version haha

@@Hawkinszm1 as in Mike?

Chonko, like a fat cat. hahahha

This is already the best comment of the decade

😂😂😂😂😂😂

yea these guys are by far the most talented band out there today. who else you know . thats writes all there songs, produces them . and preforms bad ass music. thats real truth to. nobody. the best

LMAO man I'm from Eastern KY and this couldn't be further from the truth. Mainstream country isn't country anymore. Sturgill is an absolute legend

LMAO that's great and if you have not heard Billy Strings yet you will not be disappointed.

Where you been?

Omg

Willie Nelson is better at 90 yrs old

@@otiswarner4411 Damn right

Also Willie Nelson smokes little weed. My uncle past away a month ago. We would lesson to blue sky's up in Alaska smoking 3 to 4 bowls and have Irish whiskey.

I don't know what impresses me more; how he can set that Telecaster on fire or the fact that he built it himself from scratch!

sturgil dont play it anymore either lol, he didnt care for being pidgeonholed

Too bad it sounds like we might not get to hear him perform live anymore. 😕

his voice is Waylon reincarnated. He don't pick like Waylon, tho. Nobody done that yet. He's damn sure good, bet.

People dont like it when people lay out the screw you and anyone who dont like it cause it ain't for you mentality, that's why theese people were never on the radio and it's a shame, it's better than megan thee stalion and niki Minaj

Agree

This comment is underrated. It’s so true and that says a lot about the current state of music

Well said!

He's literally been nominated for album of the year at the Grammys and has a Colonelship in Kentucky, fuck outta here. Hes not on the radio because his songs talk about weed, pills and suicide, not because people don't recognizehis talent. If you can't find him you're just not looking in the right place.

Neither is Charley Crockett; The greatest country artist of our time.

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.

@@turdferguson9190 was strictly a rock fan also, but lately found outlaw country interesting. Turd Ferguson....that was a funny Snl skit

@Charlie : I agree 100%. I love these songs, I love Sturgill, but the Tele and the drums are outstanding. Oh yeah, the bass line too. But the electric guitarist is the hell of a great player. Seems so easy, not a demonstration of guitar but each note is perfect. So great!

It's too bad hes not the Normal guitar player for him. He wax more of a stand in for this show

Its called phrasing.

That shit-eating grin is legit inspiration. ✌️❤️🎶

They are two guitar players. Which one are you talking about? You are obviously not a musician.

@@kingscotimus well, my comment says guitarist, not singer. Sturgill isn’t playing lead, he’s playing rhythm. No one refers to the rhythm as ‘the guitarists’. I figured actual musicians would know who I’m talking about. Also no, I play drums, I’m not a musician as my username would convey.

His smile looking back.. it’s my fav part. Seen him with Willie and family few years ago, had no clue who he was, and man one of the best live voices I’ve ever seen!! Went home n this was first song I found

​@kingscotimus And you obviously aren't a people person Haters gonna hate.

Good musicians are always better live. That's what music is all about. The artist and the audience. They both make each other better.

@@dnett57 grateful dead anyone?

Love this song

Its not better or worse. It just different. And you prefer this one

and beer cans are your idea of a studio acoustic?

Check out colter wall

Cuz they aint got shit on him...this a one man highwaymen

The second half is a direct shot at the people who do all the things you just mentioned lol

Garth was good but he is responsible for the current state of neutered cuntry music.everyone copied him cheaply until it devolved to it present state

Plenty of shout outs to the greats brother

This transition man... So good

Yup

Ty for pointing this out

no doubt flat out killed it...should have released as one song...and this version is way better!

Its a hit I need a fix everday

Your absolutely right well spoken man

That and the songs keep me comin back

It's such a GROOVE.

Dude is seeing the music

True Masters of there art right here

This is the song that sold me on Sturgill, and Adam Davis is who really sold me on this song. He just looked like he was really feeling the groove.

Yeaaaaa brother,,😅

most "cunt"ry singers today don't even have the balls let alone artistic ability to write a line like that

Just my opinion but seems as cliche as a line from a florida georiga line song.. I love this guys music but I think that was a bone he threw to Nashville to get a few dollars. Everybody has to eat

thatguy 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

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.

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.

True. He’s the Michael Jordan of being the Daniel Day Lewis of country music.

won't *never

I've never thought about it like that, but you are correct

Ol pppopp my km on. No lol

What's a hockey gotta do round here get little recognition

I'm still trying to figure out who he is, its still a mystery

@@wesnewman11 that’s Adam Davis from Nashville. Goddam genius on guitar.

Check out Water in a Well from this same store of videos. His performance there is masterful

That’s what happens when the music is true and hits the soul

@@gerdesrm curious, did Adam and Sturgill have a falling out? The glare that Sturgill had towards Adam at the end appeared a little cold. Thoughts? These boys are electrifying. I might be on my 450th repeat. Hot damn

Let me guess. Yer a girl right,

please dont doxx yourself

i agree, but do you get the vibe that sturgill is getting annoyed with him? Watch the end of the video. It seems like sturg is bout to go off on him

@@jordanformo5395 Idk about that. He's doing everything right. A great lead player does exactly what you're seeing done.

indeed! Coming back to this performance year after year :)

If I'm not mistaken the lead guy on this one is the studio guitarist and he does one hell of a job

@@dylanvalley3844 Yeah. When I seen Sturgill, there was a different guitarist. Which isn't uncommon at all, these studio players come and go. The guy in this video is also a music teacher.

He knows he sounds dope as fuck and isn't even bothered by it at all.

He’s fucking KILLING IT!

He adds so much to the performance his personality is super funny in a good way

His dynamics are flawless, never too loud but always loud enough. Softens during his runs at the perfect time.

Hold my psychedelics. Take some enjoy life play. Life is about play. Love Is life life is love fund love and you be happy.

Sturgill: Actually, don’t hold those, I want those.

@@paulcrisafi4415 accurate

Alan Jackson kept it hanging in by a thread for a while though. IMO

👍🏻

Pretty sure it's one of his illegitimate sons lol

Sounds jus like Waylon. Love it

Loren Rose Same

On a side note, Waylon was Buddy Holly's Bass Player.

His voice is exact lol

Sturgill if they aren't i can guarantee you 100% you got a die hard fan right here ❤

I feel ya on that man.

♥️

I just came here to rewatch this after listening to the album version. I was thinking, "Isn't this song supposed to be a faster tempo?" So much better this way.

It's 4am and I'm sitting in my office with my pedal steel and my tele getting drunk. Pickin and grinning. Country ain't dead!!! It just isn't on the radio.

livingsurflife underrated comment lmaoooooo

Those are empty cans. They come in stacked on pallets in a warehouse. Next they get filled and boxed . Then drank !

🤣 I was waiting for somebody else to notice him

@@aa134368 🤣🤣😂🤣

As is the one that follows: “They call me King Turd up here on shit mountains, but fuck it you can have the crown”

Man that's messed up. I read your comment as he sang it. Wtf.

"I drive a Bronco" and now lord if i could just get record deal, i might not have to worry about my next meal, but i still be trying to figure out.. "What the fuck rhymes with Bronco" Another excellent line. His best line though is from ( turtles all the way down ) "Reptile Aliens made of light..cut you open and pull out all your Pain" Now Thats Outlaw country. First time i heard it i knew he was not Bullshit pop-Country like everyone on the radio. Today's country is Garbage example = Sturgill was up for album of the year a few years ago against adele,Beyonce and few others he lost of course but when it came time for the country music awards... He didn't even get 1 nomination. (That tells you all you need to know)

I like “so broke I can’t pay attention”

@@CaptFreedompants what an underrated line

Idk what's more impressive, how he sets that Telecaster on fire or the fact that he built that guitar from scratch with his own hands!!

the other person that replied to you in this comment is trying to impersonate Sturgill Simpson if you go to his channel he has 3 subscribers and no videos

Progressive Rock?

My point is I dont even listen to country at all but Simpson has a whole different thing going on that even I can totally appreciate his talent and different approach.

Well we need more outlaws then because I am a fanboy...lol

Nico Misuraca This what they call COUNTRY.

Same here. Jamey Johnson brought me back too. 3 best in my opinion.

Don't miss Cody Jinks!

jamey johnson is commercialized country. its okay to like whoever you like. but stapleton or johnson have nowhere near the country prowess of simpson.

I liked early Eric church but sturgill and Chris are it

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?

They canceled a show in Boston and I'm so pissed man

+Sean Wright AMEN BROTHA!!!couldn't a said it better myself!!!!!!!! LONG live the Outlaws!

+Sean Wright I'm a big death metal fan (Cannibal Corpse, Nile, Suffocation, Morbid Angel, etc.) and this is the only country I've heard in the past 10 years that I've actually liked. I'm right there with you, man.

+Sean Wright Metal fan here too. This is one of the few albums (along with Never Mind the Bollocks... and a couple Ben Folds records) that has fully eclipsed my metal listening for days at a time. It's a weird life.

Surprised to see so many guys here who sport the Devil Horns. I listening Woods of Ypres, Type O Negative, Gorgoroth, Motorhead, Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth, Bloodbath, Katatonia... Etc. But god damn I love me some outlaw country and southern rock. I have my father to thank for that, grew up listening to it. I mean, hell I even listen to some rap, specifically horrocore like Lo Key, Twiztid, Brotha Lynch Hung, Kung Fu Vampire, Donnie Menace and the like. There is good music in every genre, it's just the shitty music is what hits the mainstream shelves and gets played on the radio.

Damn right

Hell yes..Love outlaw country..Some others in the genre- Jinks, Bingham, Dan Baird, allman betts band, drive by truckers, steel woods..

Tyler is awesome good road music to drive to (white house road)

+Bret Bartko I don't listen to country on the radio but I love listening to this guy's music.

He's on the radio in Texas. Not on the Nashville Country stations though. You'll hear him on the Texas Country/Red Dirt stations.

+Bret Bartko Heard him on our local public radio 89.3 thecurrent.org you can stream it

+Matt Gustavson Man, the current plays everything haha. Love that people like this can get played on there, instead of having the same 3 Luke Bryan, 2 Sam Hunt, and 2 Jason Aldean songs play on repeat. I saw Sam Hunt at a country festival and he had "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus playing. At a friken country festival. I just went back to the camp site and drank beer. Sorry, rant over.

Absolutely I watch this probably 4 times a week. Along with many other songs lol

Are there any other videos from this brewery performance?

Yellowstone sent me here as well... love this band, reminds me of a modern day Johnny Cash.

Brian Sanders He was replaced by Laur Joamets not too long after this. Laur is gone now too. Sturgill stripped down the band this year.

j77 he teaches guitar in Nashville and still plays with other artists some. I think Sturgill should have kept him. Laur was awesome too. He plays with Drivin and Cryin now. Going to see them next month !

Brian Sanders it’s the pills dude, it’s the pills 💊

He's definitely feeling the groove

What's his name? I've been watching this for years and he still cracks me up

Imagine the lack of Fs it took to hand in that record.
