Not only making quality country music but also calling out Nashville for its bullshit. Awesome.

His cover of "The Promise" is A+
I always found it interesting how the industry has anointed Chris Stapleton. They'll play his tracks all day and he's gotten a ton of hype. He's no slouch and certainly a great artist, but why just him in what is otherwise a sea of "bro rock"?
Sturgill is the shit! Ive had "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music" in heavy rotation for a bit. His new album "A Sailors Guide to the Earth" is a bit off from what Id call country but has grown on me. Dude has serious pipes and a no fucks given attitude.
On another note... the twenty year old me looks at the fourty something year old me and shakes his head in disgust that I listen to country....
Listened to A Sailors Guide last night (again) it is a great album that doesn't give a fuck about what anyone thinks. Saw him play 4 years ago and it was awesome. Not only does he rock but the whole fuckin band was A+. It is funny that the rising golden boy of Cuntry got side lined by the same establishment that were blowing smoke up his ass a couple years ago.
I'll admit the new Album took a little while to grow on me but now I totally dig it. Been listening to him for about three or four years now. Seen him two or thee times, unfortunately both were fairly subpar venues for sound.
Last show in SLC was last fall I think. He had a bigger band and it seemed like his sound was transitioning and honestly I didn't think it was as good as when he had a smaller band and the sound was a little more stripped down and raw. Heard some snipits from more recent shows and it seems like he has the bigger band/sound a little more dialed in which is a good thing.
I'll second this. That show at the Complex was meh....but only due to venue in my mind. When he played at the State Room 2 years ago, with just him, bass, drums, and Little Joe, it was rockin. All in all, will see again in any venue.

It was crazy! Music was jamming and there were all these squares just standing there.Quote:

Bump….who’s going to the SLC concert next week?
We'll be there. Got kinda shitty seats but the price was right, and a baby sitter isn't cheap. Section 123.Quote:

The Mrs. and I will be at the Santa Barbara show. There is a real possibility she will leave me for Sturgill if given the opportunity. To be fair, I'd probably do the same.
The Mrs splurged on “floor” tickets at the gorge. One week away!
Adulting sucks, had my eye on this.
Phall, ZZZ, Buzz - wanna pre game in the parking lot??

Santa Barbara show…Top 10, maybe 5 shows for me. Make every effort to see a show. Four plane rides and sleeping in a rental was fucking horrible but, that show, tho
I saw the song list for one of the Cali shows and it looked awesome, hoping for something similar.
NBA, you know I wouldn’t mind carpooling on date night, but it’s double date night and we are riding with another couple. Looks like it might rain and spoil parking lot shenanigans?
Wife's got a work thing till 7 so we're busting tail from sugarhouse then to get there, we'll miss the lot.
Holy hell that was good. Going in completely blind on Sturgill I was really impressed. Scored a pit ticket for $19 all in stubhub about an hour before but due to stubhub fuckery (more so original seller being a space cadet) i 'only' ended up on front rail of the seated section behind the pit GA which was still great.
Band was incredibly tight. Sturgill sure loves his drummer (who i thought had a great pocket, but also beat the shit out of those things). Other guitarist was top notch too (although sometimes he kind of wanked off playing a million notes lol).
Hell of a band, and they jammed. Prob my fav jam of the night was the outro to 'it a'int all flowers'
I'm not much of take photos at concert guy so here's the one shot I got

2.5 hrs straight through is impressive. Sound was kinda garbage in 126, specifically vocals. Sounded like Laur was having amp troubles and I just think it was off on the mix a bit. Overall, impressive

Followed NBABUCKS lead and scored cheap pit tickets on our way down - we had nosebleeds that we kept as a backup in case StubHub fell through - but we had a phenomenal time. Danced the whole set, my legs hurt.

One day you’ll wake up
This life will be over
We're dyin' to live
Living to die
No matter what you believe
And all of us cry
For the ones we must leave
So go and live a little
Bone turns brittle
And skin withers before your eyes
Make sure you give a little
Before you go to the great unknown in the sky
If you haven't watched Sound and Fury in the dark with a kick ass sound system you are SERIOUSLY missing out. I like playing this track (Ronin) in my car once in a while to really get me amped for road warrioring my way down the highway...

and then the album leads right into this track next I believe

Whole thing is SUCH a trip. Very, very "Heavy Metal" in spirit.
Anyone have a miracle for me in Denver tonight? Pm me!

bummed Spokane was canceled -- it would have been a massive stretch to get there, but I guess that explains why it wasn't sold out.
I'm waiting for another sneaker show before Sac. Reno or somewhere in Tahoe
