I've always thought that I hated country. I think now that what I actually hate is pop country, because I really liked this
Dan Sterling pop country, totally different. Sturgill is more alternative country. I can give you some names to check out if you’re interested
Dan Sterling I listen to *REAL* country music. It has NOTHING to do with pop country bullshit. I listen to *REAL* rap, hip hop, rock etc etc and it, too, has nuthin to do with mainstream bullshit.
Enjoy the good music.
I stumbled across him at a festival and could not leave as soon as i walked up. I stayed and watched his whole damn show and became a fan immediately. Its real, raw country.
Check out Todd Snider. You might dig him if you dig this.
There's been a recent resurgence in REALLY solid country and fans of this style universally shun what they call 'Arena' or 'Boy Band' Country acts that put out lyrics that are utterly predictable and empty. For really good contemporary country, sometimes described as 'Outlaw Country' in the tradition of Waylon Jennings or Merle Haggard - check out nearly any act produced by Dave Cobb. Tyler Childers, Nikki Lane, Brett Cobb, Cody Jinks, Whitey Morgan are great acts. I also dig Colter Wall, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Lilly Hiatt and Guns Girls and Glory - I'm sure there are a lot of others, but that's who I've been listening to in addition to the classics.
Sturgill is a little older than you might think - almost 40 - and he knows what it is to work a daily grind job. He is fairly new to the scene.. He toured some with a bluegrass band in his twenties, then gave up and spent three years in the navy and another 6 years or so working in a freight yard. He decided to try again, and started getting noticed in alternative country circles about 5 years ago.
What I like about Sturgill Simpson is how well he evokes '70's Outlaw Country, and manages to be so subtly subversive that many don't notice it at all.
Also, you can't do Sturgill Simpson without doing "Turtles all the Way Down."
Jonathan Capps and he can literally switch tempo and music style and sound excellent
yes old time out law country. I hear it too and love it
He sounds like Waylon Jennings it really shows in his cover of in bloom
Thank you for doing Sturgill and Stapleton, some of Kentucky's proudest exports du jour.
Also: Bourbon.
What about Tyler Childres? Send those three singers down here to us in Tennessee and keep y'all's shitty excuse for whiskey.
Sturgill (Pronounced Stur-JILL or just Stu for short) has released three albums so far. ("High Top Mountain", "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music", and "A Sailor's Guide to Earth".) He has been around solo approximately 5 years, and just turned 40 recently. He was in a band called Sunday Valley prior to going solo.This is his second foray in Nashville, the first time approximately 10 years ago when absolutely no one was playing a more traditional country music. (Compared to the Pop or Bro Country that is being shoved down country listeners throats presently.) He is a vocal opponent of such music and has been completely rejected by Main Stream Music Row country & country award shows.
The first "High Top Mountain" was a very traditional old school country album. "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music" could almost be called a psychedelic country album. (A play on words nod to Ray Charles album "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music") Both of these albums were self-financed and released by Thirty Tigers. MMSiCM was recorded in four days for $4400 and made it to Top 15 on Apple i-Tunes sales with absolutely *No Radio* play. His third album "A Sailor's Guide to Earth" is a recording for his first child, a son, about how to live life as a signed artist with Atlantic Records. As stated below in the comments, not only was it nominated for a Country Grammy (Which he won), but was nominated for Album of the Year against, Beyonce, Adele, Justin Beiber, and Drake.
Recently during the CMA's (Country Music Awards) he was not even nominated OR invited to the show. Most likely for his vocal opposition to the present state of country music. So what did Stu do? He brought his guitar & case and placed his Country Grammy trophy in the case, busked for money for the ACLU, and live streamed it on Facebook!
Sturgill Simpson is actually a hilarious and legit dude.
You got that right. His interviews by Joe Rogan are hysterical!
Hunter MacLeod another traditional country singer is Hank Williams the third. He sounds more like his grand dad.
Hey Ashley,
Yeah, I've known about Hank III for awhile now. But Stu's my favorite for many different reasons. As for more traditional country, there's so much out there that just isn't being heard. It's one of the reasons I write about more obscure and lesser known country artists. (Though I write more about unsigned and under known rock bands.)
Ashley Wynn Hunter’s right. Check out Jason Isbell and Tyler Childers and you won’t be disappointed at all
One of my FAVORITE country singers! :D so glad to see more people check him out! Love the reaction, guys! Keep up the great content!
Sturgill, pronounced Stur_jull
James Craigg that’s the only thing that was bothering me.. mainly because it’s also my last name lol
Dave chill out! These dudes had never heard of Sturgill before. They are not professionals in the music community- just dudes that love music and want to promote an open mind about all kinds of music.
Stur_juel
Do Purgatory by Tyler Childers.
Sturgill opened me up to Country music. Was a metalhead, got into rock and electronic stuff but always stayed away from country until Sturgill opened my ears up to the soul that can be in the genre.
VxDRAGONSLAYERxV kinda how I got into it. It's a big genre that is only really famous for some of poorest acts in it.
You guys are always turning me on to awesome songs I never even heard of! All your reactions are so genuine and put me in an awesome mood. Keep up the awesome work in all genres!
Sturgill Simpson- It Ain't All Flowers.
He's a Rowdy dude.
Shayna Smekens wooohooo hoooooo
that howl tho
My favorite Sturgill song
Ain’t all flowers is sweet. Whole album is perfect.
I never heard of this guy before. Did a little research on him and he is one of my new favorite country singers. Thanks for turning me on to this guy!
You have to do He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones. It has been continually voted to be the Greatest Country song of all time.
TheFilmExpert123 100%
Hey guys! GREAT video! I found your channel and this video through a link Sturgill shared on Twitter.
I’m a fan of “old” country, not so much “new” country. Sturgill is younger but definitely falls into the old / outlaw country. His lyrics are incredible and he can sing like a m-f’er! 😄
A couple of other country artists like Sturgill - great, authentic lyrics and singing are Jason Isbell and Kacey Musgrave.
Great channel- SO glad I found you guys! Just subscribed! ✌🏻
Sturgill is running country music right now with Chris Stapleton. Representing Kentucky well since our basketball team is not..
Paul Wilkerson dude you didn't have to take a shot at the Wildcats! Lol we play for March 👍🏻
Slap Nuts I’m still holding out hope we can turn it around!
Paul Wilkerson check out Tyler Childers! Sturgill signed him to to his label and he has a very unique sound as well.
Paul Wilkerson Tyler Childers is also from Lawrence county Kentucky
Paul Wilkerson War Eagle
he sounds like he's bringing back old country and i'm happy about that.
Guys...... You Can Have The Crown by Sturgil Simpson. You gotta do this one!
That's his best song!
One of my favorite singers!!!!!! So glad y’all reviewed him!!
Do Uncle Lucius-keeping the wolves away
Love Sturgill! Could watch these videos all day...gold.
Jason Isbell, Elephant, Live oak, Song she sang in the shower, Traveling Alone, Cover me up, Children of Children. So many great songs. The best songwriter of the last 20 plus year's.
What makes Isbell so great is that there are soooo many great songs in his catalogue. You can be hooked on one for awhile and then go back to one you haven't heard in awhile. He's probably the best all-around musical artist in the world right now, and I'm saying that pretty damn objectively. But still, Sturgill is up there too.
@@graysonhoward1562 I so agree. Thanks for your kind remarks.
I had given up requesting Sturgill Simpson... this makes me so happy. You guys always come through. His last album he really grew as an artist.
Awesome content. Love yalls views and opinions and some these songs and how you present different views on these songs that I would have never thought of. Subscribed.
Man, your take on the lyrics are way awesome.You guys are bomb. Keep up the AMAZING work please!
Love these!!! Sturgill is one of my favorite artists, ever. Glad y'all enjoyed his music.
I love that I can come here for new types of music, thank you!!
I was drawn to you guys because you're free thinkers. I'll be checking out more of your reaction videos soon I hope - but for now - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Turtles All The Way Down-Sturgill Simpson...very interesting lyrics
"it's about drugs" - sturgill
His best song IMO
Turtles All the Way Down is also the title of a new book by Mr. Green, the author of The Fault In Our Stars
A country song about DMT. Imagine that!
Again I really appreciate yalls honest opinion and your interpretations of the lyrics. Keep up the good work and here's to hoping y'all are living your dream
I think you guys would like “Welcome to Earth” by Sturgill Simpson, think a country/Marvin Gaye mash up.
What I love about your show is that it makes me slow down and really take in the songs, instead of a quick listen while i'm running around. It's made me appreciate these songs so much more.
Country music= working man's gospel! He has a Merle Haggard sound. ❤️❤️. Love the story telling in country. Keenly Wayne Sheppard "Blue on black"
That's a great suggestion, love that song
Sandy Lewis...I think you mean Kenny Wayne Sheppard...Blue on Black. It is a good tune.
Waylon Jennings sound
DaveLeComte yes that's who I thought I typed but I see an additional letter popped in
Check out Tyler Childers - Banded Clovis. Great song.
Great work, again! So many people talk about having an open mind to things that they aren't already into, but you two walk the walk. So many good Sturgill songs, but would love to see your reaction to "You Can Have the Crown".
"They call me King Turd up here on Sh*t Mountain. If you want it, you can have the crown."
I love you guys did my favorite artist Sturgill Simpson! If you give him a next time, please do Call to arms! Love your channel!
Great tune. 'You can keep the crown' is another good one.
Keep the crown is fantastic. It’s my damn life 😩
Michel van der List :turtles all the way down!!!!
Mad respect guys! I dont listen to country, not gonna start either, but Your videos have helped me develop a respect for the art form.
Love you guys. ❤❤ Keep up the great reviews.
Love YALLS videos man. It helps me reimagine all these songs when I see someone else's reaction for the first time. Keep it up!
great choice guys! Sturgill is a fine lyric writer who understands the bittersweetness of life. That's something anybody working for a living can get behind! I understand why you wouldn't share personal info, but I'm curious how you guys grind out cash because those lyrics obviously resonate with you also. Anyways, keep up the good work! I love the variety!
My one-man mission to have you react to IGORRR continues! In my opinion, Igorr requires a whole bunch of free thinking and the video for Opus Bain is an incredible piece of art. Maybe one day....
IGORRR - Opus Brain
Man...Just saw you guys do your deal on Jason Isbell and then this. All I can say is y'all are awesome. Seriously. Love this.
That’s crazy how this song made me remember getting part time work off of flyers stapled on posts where you rip off the numbers lmao. This song tells some of the realest things and it was funny how his waiter line was literal and wasn’t a double meaning lol. This man could sing and the vibe really goes well with what he’s talking about. Great analysis and breakdown Lost In Vegas and shoutout to Sturgill for the great record.
I love watching you Lost In Vegas. It's a great start to the day, b/c you guys are always dead on with the assessment of the songs. I love how you break down the songs, and point out many different ways of looking at lyrics. Plus, you guys are super funny!! Thanks for introducing me to some great new music! :) Could you maybe play "Denial" from Sevendust someday? I think you'll love it, too. Keep up the great work!
I was surprised with the Chris Stapleon and now this?!!? Yeah, it's almost like these dudes are looking through my playlists. I was hooked with Turtles All The Way Down. They've been on point with the reviews. If you're not music exhausted and want to try another genre, Punk is always waiting gentleman. Also there's also Drive By Truckers are always good for some alt-country/southern rock.
Heri Roman I think Turtles all the way down is his best, but there are a few that are very close
Yeah, I'd love to hear then discuss some Punk, but I fear they might struggle if it doesn't have some legit groove - they did mention having trouble with an early Anthrax song which was lacking in that dept. George (with the glasses) mentioned having listened to Green Day, in one video, but to me, Green Day isn't quite there.
Azuka Imegwu No prob there. Plenty to pick from. How about some Dead Kennedys or Bad Brains for something that's easy to digest?
Simple punk. Ramones or Sex Pistols.
Seconding Drive by Truckers. I'd suggest Decoration Day, Gravity's Gone, or Outfit as good places to start.
Great review guy's!!! The "realness" of Country is the best part of it. Keep it coming. I love me some Country.
Highwayman by the Highwaymen
Tanner Bundy yes
its one of those undeniable, " it " factor songs that they are always looking for
Yes please!
The Less I Know the Better by Tame Impala! New subscriber here! Love your content, glad to see people with such an open mind, lots of respect for you guys, seriously.
Nice! Love Sturgill Simpson! Please check out Jason Isbell next time you're feeling some country.
HELL YES! Sturgill is LEGIT!!!! Glad to see you guys keep your rotation strong!
Sturgill is one of the best!! Life Of Sin is a great one. He's a new artist came out around 2013. Country radio doesn't play him, of course, cuz its too real and not pop enough. But he's of one the few innovators in country music today bringing in new lyrical themes, psychedelic music, progressive views, mixed with outlaw or traditional sounds. Also 'Waiting Around To Die' by Townes Van Zandt, a country song from 1970, may have been the influence lyrically. Now that you've done Sturgill and Stapleton, JASON ISBELL is next!
Ryan and George tear up another one! Such a great reaction video. Not quite as blown away with the music as you are the singing and voice, where with rap and metal, you guys can really get into the music, it seems. Great vid, and look forward to the next Rush vid we all know is coming! BTW, as usual, Fear Factory and King's X, brothers, please!
People ask Sturgill if he's a country artist,he said "Pretty much when I open my mouth whatever comes out is gonna sound country".I'm pretty sure he didn't get started in music until his late 20's maybe early 30's.
William Johnson hes always played and wrote but he didn't pursue a career till around 2012-2013 he's said it in interviews that he really didn't even want to do it but his wife pushed him
Josh Jones yup,he did a stretch in the navy and worked for the railroad,before pursuing music professionally.If you haven't already checkout his Sunday Valley album its pretty good too.
Wow! You guys are introducing me to country that even *I* did not know about! Great song, thanks!
Alice In Chains - Would?
Metallica- Orion
Portishead- Only you -- Thought some trip hop would be a good choice
ORION!!
So much aic to listen
Some Portishead would be nice!
That’s the real, genuine, deal of country music my friends.
Excellent play guys!!!!
Sturgill Simpson- You can have the crown.
samueld308 Sturgill hates that song lol
Jeff Petersen man I didn't know that.
I love that song.
showproed he says he created it when he was at a low and wanted to make a “classic” country song with all the themes you find in the genre. It’s funny because even when he’s within the lines he still manages to stand out. lol
showproed No matter the circumstances, the song still speaks to people. After listening to several of his interviews, I can believe he dislikes what this song represents. Still one hell of a song!
samueld308 Best song hes done I think
Came to your channel because I'm a fan of metal, but I'm glad you guys found Sturgill. I love his stuff.
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Love these videos and how much time you have for other genres. There is a Bob Dylan track that I think you guys would find particularly interesting: "It's alright ma". Keep up the good work.
Hell yeah! You guys have made my goddamn weekend! Sturgill is the real deal
Matt Solis hell yes, made mine too
I normally watch all your metal videos, but I'm so glad you guys found Sturgill! He's one of my all-time favorite artists. Please do "Turtles All The Way Down" next. Much love!
When you revisit country / Folk... check out a Devil Makes Three...
Old # 7!!
The devil makes three
YESSSSSS!!! I was waiting for you guys to hit up Sturgill. This is my 2nd favorite Sturgill song, I still love Turtles the most though. So deep...
I love the way the the song starts. Another guy ive never heard of but im glad i know him now.
The black keys- little black submarines please.
Wow guys...I grew up in the 80's, on Hip Hop and Rock and Roll and now listen to everything. You've done (and LOVED) Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson. Now, I highly suggest that you try Whiskey Myers next....and I recommend starting with Broken Window Serenade. So much emotion and a great story is told in the lyrics. Thanks for all you do. As a music fan, this is my favorite channel by far!
I swear to god you guys are single handedly getting me into country, and I don't even hate it.
I've been pushing Sturgill not realizing you had this video up. Awesome sauce guys. You should do 'I Wonder' or 'You can have the Crown'. A newer CD I fell on love with was Parker Millsap. Check out the song 'The very last day'. Thanks guys. Love your videos. Keep em coming.
Cody Jinks - Vampires
Real country right there
Sturgill's "In Bloom", cover of Nirvana's song is awesome. Great guitars
Hell yes. Got a buddy that hates Nirvana(yeah should revoke the friendship) but loves Sturgill's cover.
Waylon Jennings - Ramblin Man
Waylon - I've Always Been Crazy
Honestly, at 1:39 I knew this song spoke to you guys lol. I know the 9:00 to 5:00 feeling too. Sturgill Simpson is an artist I've been meaning to listen to for a while and this video is one that really introduced me to him and will definitely get me listening to more of his stuff. Never stop listening to less popular music out there.
In that vein, please give Amenra "A Solitary Reign" a try. It's a song that really shows that metal can be beautiful.
EDIT: And that circles on the paper line speaks to me too, man. I know exactly what that feels like, as Ryan says, "to the tenth power." Good shit guys.
Good to see you guys diving into more real country. Sturgis is fantastic. Check out "You can have the crown" by him its fantastic and funny
Thank you for doing this, one of my favorite songs in the world..Sturgill has been around several years..He's a Kentucky boy just like Chris Stapleton and ME lol...Sturgill just doesn't get radio play much because he isn't "Pop Country" and musically he is more traditional. Lyrically he is, let's just say a "Free Thinker" lol
Yelawolf "Pop the Trunk"
Tyler Childers- Whitehouse Road is lit
Brandon Donaldson Tyler Childers - Born Again would be the Shit too. Definitely dig the Tyler Childers request!
Brandon Donaldson Hell yeah Anything Tyler Childers does is gold!!!!
Preach
Brandon Donaldson or, Little Feathered Indians!
Brandon Donaldson thank you for posting this. Tyler Childress is the man and his voice is crazy
Stur-Jill is the proper pronunciation. But just started watching you guys and can’t get enough! Keep it up fellas!
Old number seven - the devil makes three
Damn I've heard of this guy but I've never listened to him before. This has me wanting to check out more of his music. You guys always are always introducing to me people I haven't heard of before.
Y'all would like Ray Lamontagne. That dude can SANG
Wow I can really relate to this song right now (unfortunately haha)!! I have his album "A Sailor's Guide to Earth" and love it, will have to give this one a spin. Thanks guys, love the videos!
Alice in Chains-love hate love or man in the box guys!! I'm keeping on you guys about it.
You guys are awesome! Love the reactions!
Death- crystal mountain
You guys and your approach to your reviews is amazing! They way you look at and break down the technicalities of the music is on point 👌It's the true way to appreciate different genres/artists for what/who they are. It would be great to see your take on things like: Disturbed- Down with the Sickness, Garth Brooks - ﹰFriends in Low Places, or even an old hair band like Motley Crue🤗
Awesome video, check out Tyler Childers-Nose On the Grindstone for some solid country gold as well🤘🏻
Love this, guys. Just a few notes on pronunciation in case you cover these guys again. Sturgill is "stur-jill" and Isbell is "Is-bull." :) You earned a sub today. Love this work.
Time - Pink Floyd
You all always make me see the songs i know in a diff way...damn fine channel boys.
Alright guys...this is pretty good, but y’all gotta do “ The Promise “
Melon Rain One of my favorites.
Sturgill brought me here, dope reviews guys, keep it up! Subbed
Jason Isbell - Elephant
Keg Man Just about the most emotional gut punch of a song you'll ever hear, that or Cody Jinks' David.
Hell yea finally one of my request!!! thanks guys
Finally some Sturgil Simpson!
1.BRACE FOR IMPACT(LIVE A LITTLE)
2.REMEMBER TO BREATHE
3.IN BLOOM (Nirvana cover)
4.THE PROMISE
^ These Sturgill songs are 👌👌👌
Need a reaction!
Gosh Dangit George, Ryan & Sturgill.
Never in a million years would I have thought I would enjoy listening to a country music song.
Rick Adams check out Sturgill’s albums. They’re all fantastic. Great lyrics.
justzanin also check out Tyler Childers. Also profound song writer that is about as real as they get. Sturgill liked him so much he signed him to his label
McDeez A and produced his last album.
McDeez A yes. Tyler Childers is awesome
Just don't turn on a "country" radio station and expect to hear anything like this. I HATE pop country(as well as pop rock, pop metal, pop rap, and just pop in general), but get to the nitty gritty with those old outlaws, or Sturgill and Hank 3, that's where it's at!
Thanks so much for checking out Sturgill. Sincerely hope you'll come back to anything off "Sailor's Guide..." I think perhaps "All Around You" would be a great one because of the horns, and production.
You guys gotta do Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix
Love this review Ryan & George! Fire...keeping it real!
Sturgill is awesome. Another great country singer to review is Cody Jinks!
And MACHINE HEAD - locust!!
Bill Benoit, instead of locust, help us push for halo. Much better song but i do love me some locust.
I'll support you on Halo but the interlude in Locust is so fucking good...
Scott Bell, no doubt. Easily the best song on that album, IMO.
Just wanted to take a minute an thank you guys for this reaction , you introduced me to a new singer I didn't know about an now I have someone new to discover.
Still waiting on that Stargazer by Rainbow!
You guys make me smile. I listen to all genres too.
Deer Tick - Goodbye Dear Friend
You will love it!
Love "Ashamed" also!
He has a new album out, and y’all need to check it out. It’s vastly different.
Sound & Fury is my shit. I'm country all the way and absolutely love his country albums. When he announced that he was moving in a different direction with his music, I was stoked to hear what it would be. It wasn't just a different direction, but It turned out he basically created his own genre of. And of course its another masterpiece. Not that I expected anything less. Sturgill is the f***** man!
This was great! Thanks for doing some lesser known stuff, it's really appreciated. Check out Clutch - Electric Worry.
