Buddy of mine is finally starting to get some play. Don't know if anyone here has heard him but check it out!

Somebody suggested this on facebook. It really is a great album. Has that country sound that hasn't been around much the last few years.
Love it, and the last album too! :thumbsup:
I have his last album, not his latest and it is great.. what a nice sound and love the pedal steel! how is the newest one? i think it recently came out...
Both of his records are great. I hope he comes to austin soon.
New single:

i love this forum! Have learned about more great artists here than anywhere ever.
He's opening for Jason Isbell at the Ryman in Oct, but its sold out. Hope I get to see him live soon. I have a nicely recorded live show from Nashville last year (maybe from 3rd and Lindsley?) Probably a radio broadcast.
got some pub from Rolling Stones' top 45 of albums' of '14 so far.
trying to get my hands on a vinyl copy of the new release. Amoeba records has it but I am going to give me local shop a chance to get one for me before I get one somewhere else

He's playing the Troubador in LA in Sept. LD and I have been looking for a good excuse for an LA trip, it could be this show...or J Roddy at the Troubador in Oct.
Sturgill's guitarist sure sounds good. Is that guy still in his band?
he has more vinyl available on his site
He's supposed to be on Letterman tonight (7/14/2014).

I just noticed the bass drum head is Kentucky's state flag! Cool!
I hadn't checked Sturgill out much yet and didn't even know he was from my home state.
Here's an article.

Sturgill tonight! So excited. I think I may have to talk to the bartender at the start of the night and make him promise not to serve me double bourbons when I ask for them later in the night.....

nailed it on the Tonight Show last night
he was also on Joe Rogan's pod. Great convo...long, 3 hours. He said he's only doing 5 albums and he's got them mapped out

that was a great podcast. it was my first time listening the series. really enjoyed the DMT talk.
Saw Sturgill at the Bluebird in Denver last night and WOW, he is good! The man has soul. I couldn't recommend him more. The time to see him is now. The Bluebird ended up adding last night after the first night sold out and last night sold out as well. Tickets were $15 at the box office and then were $135 on stubhub. If you don't have his albums, get them now. I like both equally.

Sturgill is our house's Artist of the Year for sure. We're seeing him in a small club next February. Pro Tip if you have a special lady in your life: at home, put on The Promise from Metamodern and slow dance.
dude is $$$$$$$
yeah, the hype right now for Sturgill is huge. All these small venues are selling out and lots of forum folk across the country have been shutout, including me here in Phoenix last month. those of you seeing him in the clubs are scoring, that is for sure.
FYI, there is already a thread on Sturgill going here. http://forum.mymorningjacket.com/index.php/topic,18416.msg349197.html#msg349197 (http://forum.mymorningjacket.com/index.php/topic,18416.msg349197.html#msg349197)

Thanks. I scrolled a little, but not that far before making my post. And yeah, felt VERY lucky to have gotten to see him in such a small venue.
Merged!

That cover is what made me love SS.
Listening to samples on iTunes right now. All I can say is...WOW! I HATE country music, but this is just good stuff! I think my roommate, who lives for country music, will also enjoy this. :thumbsup:

It's what country music is supposed to be. I read somewhere that Waylon Jennig's son (I think it was Shooter) said Sturgill is the closest thing he's ever heard to his dad. True outlaw country!
If any one has an extra tix to the Boston show let me know. Bummed its sold out
If anyone has a second extra for the Boston show, I'd be grateful. Thanks.
Very very excited to be seeing him in February in Philly! :cheesy: I have ALady to thank for discovering him. Her post on facebook a few months back mentioned the "cosmic american" theme, and I had to click + have been hooked ever since. Wish I had a ticket for the Asheville show, but it would be tricky to make it to both at this point! Can't wait!

so incredibly bummed about the recent show cancellations. I hate that he & the band are sick, but to cancel the show and then announce the "make up" show is at a venue that is 10x the originals size is not cool IMO. Not to mention, he's listed as the opener for OCMS at that date.
It just seems like they took advantage of a bad situation to rebook at larger venues for more $$$. I know a band's got a right to make a buck, doesn't mean I can't be bummed about missing them play a 350 seat venue.

well, looks like I will get to see Sturgill in Norfolk this year. So stoked, it's not a tiny venue like the Broadberry but its a decent one that is about 1500.
Have some friends who flew out to see him and the Avetts at Red Rocks tonight.
Gotta say that Metamodern record is timeless. Been listening to again for the past couple of days and wow.
In an interview, Dave Cobb said Stu produced this solo.
Love the organ sound he added on the last tour. Sounds great on this track.
Nirvana cover should be interesting.
Looking forward to it the first song is amazing.....looking forward to the Nirvana cover as well

Love that he's stressing this is an full album and not allowing them to stream individual streams.
He's talked about writing this album for his son and as a new dad myself, the start of this album hit me right in the feels.
"hello my son, welcome to Earth. You may not be my last but you'll always be first. I wish I'd done this 10 years ago. But how could I know that the answer was so easy."
I love it a lot. There's a sweetness to this record that's really touching, but I love that it ends on a firebrand-y note.

Great song regardless. But I have three sons, and this song is on another level!

Vinyl Me Please had this album in the member store this month. I snatched it up. I think I like the sound on this new release better than his last. Good stuff.
Saw them last night and goddamn, what a band. The addition of horns, while on paper sounds kinda weird for a country band, takes them to an entirely new level. These guys fuckin' JAM! I saw the pared-down lineup last summer and thought it was the most psychedelic country I've ever heard. After last night's show, I can NOW say they are the most supremely soulful psychedelic country band I've ever seen. Sturgill is so fuckin' authentic. Makes a lot of other "country" or "soul" acts look like a goddamn joke. What a show.

Keeping with Sturgill's wholly unique concert presence, he did all his 'hits' first and then ENDED the show with a complete performance of the new album. No encore. Baddddddass.

I taped it and watched it the following day and WOW..... he destroyed that place, I need to see him next time he tours. Oh how I wish he was at OBH III (not that I'm complaining about the current lineup)
So Sturgill continues to be the greatest thing in Nashville. He posted up outside the CMAs outside last night and streamed it, answered questions and played a few songs.

You can catch the stream here on his FB live https://www.facebook.com/sturgillsimpsonmusic/
Some hilarious moments like when he said Joe Rogan has that "mad scientist Cali weed", says he's listening to ELO and Run the Jewels. Also sounds like he's got grand ideas for his next album and sadly, he says he's sticking to his 5 album plan.

i first heard him mention it on the Joe Rogan Experience. He expands on it in the FB Live on how it's a narrative of a life journey of a human soul. He said Hightop was a past life, Metamodern was ethereal, the soul's journey, Sailor's Guide is about birth & life lessons, and his next album will be about life & sin and the last one about "returning to the light".
Sounds like he's doing more producing too
such a badass.
i'm always on the lookout for recordings of sturgill shows. recently found some good ones at this link
http://www.panicstream.net/vault/category/sturgill-simpson/
the sound quality varies, but there are some good ones. i recommend the 2014 denmark show, the two 2015 nashville shows, and the 2015 austin show is a great sounding fm broadcast.
check it!

Interesting. While I'm not a fan of only 5 albums, I like the story arc of the idea. Dig his tunes.
Pretty hot guitar playing from Sturgill (and Stapleton getting into some duel riffing) sitting in with Chris Stapleton on SNL this weekend.
F'ing Fantastic

DIG IT!!!!
If this is any indication of what his next album will sound like, I am all in!!!
https://www.jambase.com/article/sturgill-simpson-new-album-anime-movie-sound-fury
"We went in without any preconceived notions and came out with a really sleazy, steamy rock n roll record," Simpson stated in a press release. "It's definitely my most psychedelic. And also my heaviest. I had this idea that it'd be really cool to animate some of these songs, and we ended up with a futuristic, dystopian, post-apocalyptic, samurai film."
YES!!!
this is great news.
gonna need all the weeds for an anime movie set to the heaviest, most psychedelic Sturgill record.

Not sure if I got chills because it's new Sturgill music or because this song is bananas.
Mad Max meets Ninja Scroll soundtracked by Sturgill? I am 100% here for it.
I will say I hope it doesn't carry that video game feel throughout the album.
So, Sound and Fury is on endless repeat these days. So unique, while at the same time clearly influenced by disparate artists like Prince, Meatloaf, and Pink Floyd. Not sure how to classify it, other than awesome.

It blows my mind that he's headlining the Garden. Good for him.
I was also surprised that he's playing such big venues and so I may not even go this time, but it's good for him I guess!

Going to the Forum show in LA.
Got good seats for Austin during presale.
Live stream on nugs.tv tonight, full band playing at the Ryman Auditorium, no audience.

I'm pumped for this!!
"Did you know Amy McGrath used to fly fighter planes? Pretty cool!"
Fuck yeah, good on him!!
so good. can't wait for the albums.
I like where Sturgill's head is at on this one.
From the website:
THE BALLAD OF DOOD & JUANITA
THE NEW CONCEPT ALBUM BY STURGILL SIMPSON
SAYS STURGILL OF THE PROJECT:
"I JUST WANTED TO WRITE A STORY— NOT A COLLECTION OF SONGS THAT TELL A STORY, BUT AN ACTUAL STORY, FRONT TO BACK. [THIS ALBUM IS] A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE THROUGH ALL OF THE STYLES OF TRADITIONAL COUNTRY AND BLUEGRASS AND MOUNTAIN MUSIC THAT I LOVE, INCLUDING GOSPEL AND A CAPELLA. IT IS A SIMPLE TALE OF EITHER REDEMPTION OR REVENGE"
Sturg getting one record closer to the end is exciting and sad.

Especially having missed out on the last tour because of COVID.
I agree but is he definitely retiring after a certain number of albums are released?? I heard that but quite a while ago....
Ya i believe i read from an interview a WHILE back that his plan was 5 albums, i assume that means 5 standalone albums and that the Cutting Grass Albums wouldn't count since they're mostly covers of his songs done blue grass style
1. High Top Mountain
2. Metamodern Sounds in Country Music
3. Sailors Guide to Earth
4. Sound & Fury
5? Ballad of Dood and Juanita?

yes he said the 5 album thing on a Rogan appearance back in 2014 and that he has them all mapped out. But he may have changed his mind since then. Sound & Fury was the direct result of his burnout due to touring and may not have been in that original plan.
I may have to miss Sturg for a 3rd time due to previous commitment. Its the Outlaw tour stop here in Va Beach. It's like 5 miles from my house. Gotta make that call soon.

I saw Sturgill on the Outlaw tour a few years ago at the Hollywood Bowl. He was great. He played his cover of The Promise, which blew my mind when I first heard it. It was great to hear it live.
Ya Parkervb, i definitely agree that things may have changed since way back then. Fingers Crossed he continues making music and touring for YEARS to come!
Well, he does have a kid now so maybe he'll continue on to make money to support?
He has 3 kids.
I thought I heard/read that he was just fed up with Elekra. Which is why he threw together Sound & Fury, to get out of his contract obligations.
I dunno maybe I was dreaming...
Either way I hope he keeps it going with his new record company and I'm definitely excited for the Ballad of the Dood!!
getting excited for this tomorrow morning:
https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/sturgill-simpson-the-ballad-of-dood-and-juanita/
what a tale...so well told and written. If you don't get a lil dusty during "Sam", I don't know what to tell ya. What a catalog of material Sturgill has produced in the last 8 years (not to mention the great albums he's been a producer on).

i guess we have our answer to the 5 album thing
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/sturgill-simpson-new-album-dood-juanita-1214449/
(also he wrote this album in 2 days and finished it under a week....holy sht)
what an album! short, but damn near perfect. a modern day 'red headed stranger' with willie giving his stamp of approval with a solo. so good, and can't wait to see what type of band sturgill assembles!
Thanks for posting that article, I had been meaning to read that. Good stuff and interesting plans for the future for sure.
I dig the new album and finally got around to seeing the Sound and Fury movie and that was crazy!!!
