    I filmed this session, we met Sturgill at Pickathon in 2011 and he blew our minds, particularly when he played "Never go to Town Again," if you haven't seen it check it out, I think that was the most impressive in terms of guitar playing. Then he came to Knoxville a few months later and stayed with us for a few days and thats when this was filmed. At the time he was thinking about quitting music and I'm pretty sure he was working at a grocery store. Really glad things worked out for him, he's a super humble dude and as real as they come. I've recorded at least 300 bands and there were a handful that right away felt special, Sturgill was the first, then Shakey Graves, Lake Street Dive, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, and a few others.

      The things I would do to have a been a fly on the wall during “Never Go to Town Again”. He built that guitar from scratch as well. What was he like working with?

      @@stephen7991 Super chill dude, really down to Earth and wouldn't bend on his ideas or principles for anyone, I knew right away there was 0 chance he'd ever sell out. Never Go To Town Again he had just played a late set on the main stage and came straight to the Pumphouse to record so they had momentum and were hyped up. We smoked an olympic torch sized joint and then he blew the roof off the place. I was behind the Pumphouse editing during his first few songs and our audio guy looked over at me and said "are you familiar with Stevie Ray Vaughan" lol. We were mesmerized right away. I only wish I had caught him a few years later, we met him during my first outing shooting live music in a tight space and my skills weren't what they are now.

    Sturgill Simpson Jackson Pollock'd Americana all over this song. He's picking, blends into rockabilly, meanwhile his voice is from somewhere in rural Appalachia. From there he runs head long into rock and roll and then somehow he rides the rail moving back and forth between these in this mesmerizing confusion of energy. This song is absolutely fantastic.

      First time hearing Mr. Simpson play. Reminds me alot of Commander Cody +LPA (hotrod Lincoln)
      Mr.Sturgill and band play very well in this style however, and I can see it's unpopular to say here but to me, right from the beginning something sounds out of place even with the vocals and choruses almost like it was a cover of a song by a band that is playing it a little wrong or not completely worked out. It was difficult for me to listen to.
      Perhaps similar to another video you covered of ZZTop where you thought it maybe wasn't their best performance. Perhaps I'll check out other of his songs as well.
      Thank you for all the enthusiasm and knowledge you bring to us all . Keep playing ... All of us!

    Hello from Havre De Grace. Wish I could be there with ya tonight brotha! Went to it 3 or 4 years ago and had VIP tickets that were given to me in the parking lot (I originally had lawn seats, and the random person that had the VIPs couldn’t stay due to a family emergency). On his way out of the lot he handed them to me and said pay it forward. It paid it forward twice…. Gave my tickets to someone looking to buy some. Then half way through Willie’s set, he tossed his hat into the crowd, and I caught it. Behind me a few seats back was an 11ish year old girl wearing a willie shirt. I put his hat on myself for just a moment just so I could wear it once, then handed it back to her. Willie gave me a nod. Her face and the overall experience made it one of true best shows I’ve ever been to. Enjoy!

    I was so happy to hear you feature Sturgill Simpson as the artist he is. I played in country bands since I was in the 6th grade hit the road at 12 years old and when I heard Sturgill play it blew my mind. Anybody that has ever played for themselves or in front of a crowd knows what it is to be in the groove. And when Sturgill is rocking his head back and forth he is in the groove and that's what makes his music so unique I think the industry trying to modernize him and refine his style has detracted from the essence of his music. "You Take the Crown" "Long White Line" "Sometimes Whiskey Sometimes Wine" some of His best.

Could not get an Uber or taxi after the show. I walked all over Walnut Creek for 2 hours. That bluegrass sturgill was putting out there was some trippy stuff. It seemed like he only played 3 song for an hour and a half. Sarah > Brace for Impact > Turtles is all I remember and it’s wrong.

    I don’t know any other way to ask you other than commenting here. I watch so many of your reaction videos and know you are a fan of Keith Urban. I just watched a video with Keith and John Mayer. ruclips.net/video/lVbyWunzpzU/видео.html This blew my mind. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to hear your take on it. I played in band in high school, but am not a musician. I hardly understand what you are talking about half the time, but love how you break things down. Your videos have given me such more appreciation for what these artists do. Thank you for your enthusiasm and for educating us. All the best.
