This performance gave me the courage to leave an awful marriage. It changed my life. I still have to come back and watch from time to time and give thanks.
@matty B same!!! Agee 100%!! This song saved me through the darkest saddest time in my life. When the person I loved most in this world passed. I played this song over and over and over!!!! 👏👏👏
I absolutely love every version of this song I've ever heard. I like the Cuttin Grass version more than the Sailor's Guide version, but there are very few things I love more on this Earth than this version of this song. I would pay an embarrassing amount of money for a 7" double-A-side of this and the "Oh Sarah" performance from the same episode.
I often turn on Sturgill when I have friends over and they are immediately turned off by "Country" These are people who consider themselves open-minded and progressive. It is sad that their ignorance and closed-mindedness cannot appreciate such a tender amazing artist.
Friends need ears, heard this guy for the very 1st time on Grammys last nite. I was doing shit and this song was the ONLY one that stopped me and made me sit down and listen.
The whole LP A Sailor's Guide To Earth and his whole last LP Metamodern Sounds In Country Music are both brilliant amazing beautiful from start to finish. Filled with Mega Talent and powerful lyrics and sounds.
@@disappointeddisgustedpisse4644 I can tell how much you love your Dad and all he instilled on you for musicianship and integrity. I really dont know anything about music but I was tripping, okay?, listening to this mans catalog of music...hes genuinely all you say. I thought crossroads too. Then I viewed Brace For Impact on loop while on my journey and a very very beautiful thing turned as dark and dreadful and filthy as anything ever could be. That song, on loop, is outright kabbalistic, the serpent rhythm...whatever that shits called in kabbalah...is truly in that song. I promise you, his talent is something he paid the highest price for. Seriously dude, on loop, while tripping, hes doing Pan-On-A-Stroll-Counting-Heads-of-Grain levels of mysticism. Ominous and dreadful and filthy Lord of the Flies levels. I wont watch that video production again. No way. Live version I can hear that kabbalic rhythm...like locusts in a fevered dream in studio...but tolerable live. I promise I felt the Shining and it was real bad news. Real real real real bad news. It's so sad I love this guy regardless of what he gave up at the crossroads. But I wont trip with him again. No sir. This man plays with very dirty things that are all dread and hate and desecration. Linda Blair in a cold room with fetid frosted breath. Right up there with her. Not even joking. That's kabbalahism fueling his genius.
Monday Morning my Mother died in October and I feel as if she is standing right beside me when I hear this song. My wife made me a collage with her pics and these lyrics. I love it.
These two Charlie Rose performances sound amazing stripped down to just the guitar. Love the new album, but would love to hear it in its entirety like this.
That was my one gripe with this album, his voice is just too good to have it swamped by the huge array of musical instruments/ jazz that took away something for me. When your this good, keep it simple, just focus on the voice. This is stunning.
ya I agree. ever since I saw his NPR tiny desk show a few years ago ive been dying to get an acoustic version of all his songs. so much better than the big band performance, I think..
@ heart Im a heavy metal fan through and through but theres not a day that goes by that I dont listen to Sturgill. Hes got a talent that every person on this earth should hear. Simply amazing songwriter!
Preach it. 🤘🏻 big doom metal, heavy psych, and stoner rock guy here. But there's a lot of good country music going on nowadays and while Sturgill is and will always be one of my favorites, he's the tip of the iceberg.
His right hand technique is absolute flawless! Do not sleep on this man fellas. For any guitar players out there that love his stuff get to work. His stuff is tuff. His playing style is one of a kind.
Are you talking about just country? Because he's by far the best for his genre but there are some other dudes out there still making music that are bad motherfuckers in their own right. Also, Sturgill isn't just country, he makes "music".
I wonder how many a mile was driven, how many a hour spent, in a ole piece of shit company truck, how many minutes did it take? his budding talent, his AMAZING writing intelligence, his wonderful intellect, HOW LONG DID HE SPEND HERE, before we,, COULD FINALLY HEAR? simply fucking brilliant!!! I thAnk the creator, 4 allowing Us to hear... i think the creator WANTED US TO BE HERE!
The whole LP A Sailor's Guide To Earth and his whole last LP Metamodern Sounds In Country Music are both brilliant amazing beautiful from start to finish. Filled with Mega Talent and powerful lyrics and sounds.
Absolutely amazing!! This guy is just tapping the explosive lyricist and musical talents that are within him!! " Gettin to the bottom of the bottom gettin to me"!!
I had never heard of this phenomenal talent until I heard him sing this song, just guitar, no accompaniment, at his mother-in-law, Judge Julia Kurtz Tackett's memorial service in December. It took a beautiful song to send this wonderful woman and judge on her way and this song did it perfectly. Bravo to you Mr. Simpson, and to you Julia, as well.
Ga damn I'm no producer but is his voice and that guitar the perfect volumes and tune anybody has heard since the first time you heard seven bridges road by the eagles
Just wanted to say i love all your music and the band and the sound quality is excellent and the words that make us think of things we usually don't think of great job by all
If you listen to this song and Dwight Yoakam’s “If There Was A Way”, especially the version he did on the Whoopi Goldberg show, the music, tones and chords sound very similar to each other. Obviously it’s a bit different and the words aren’t the same but both songs sound So MuCH Alike!
Hes the exact opposite, actually. God, hes so addicting, isnt he? Oh my I know what he is, brother. The Man of Filth...of pure unspeakable filth...ugh...sorry, let me summarize...i was tripping recently, listening and watching SS....so transcendant...so illuminated...then Brace for Impact began to play...on loop...3 hours of the most unspeakably profane man of desecration, of filth. I cant describe him properly...unborn...unnamed...unloved...unholy...unbeliever...the UnSon...so terrible...so utterly noxious, vile, FILTHIEST OF ALL FILTH...oh it was all that and more. That song, on loop, while tripping, is, I now believe, truly, truly believe, is the same rhythm used throughout history from today's kabbalah crowd to yesteryear Aztecs and African Headhunters. It's that Serpent of Olde in that song...I pray that the Son of God heard my prayers, that this addiction to this mans music isnt possession...not joking brother...not joking...I pray so very sincerely I will be ANYTHING God Almighty wants me to be to save me from that man of filth. No sir I'm not even joking in the slightest. This guy done been to the crossroads, not the Cross. Peace in Jesus Christs name, my friend. Amen
Pick?.....yes or no?....I've figured out how to play 92% of this song, only after watching it a million times over the last year n half...but still undecided if he has a pick or not..I dont think so. I play w/out.
I think Grammy performances were over the top like everyone was on crack. I would have loved to hear a stripped down performance like this at the big stage. I see Sturgill is trying some different things when playing to unfamilar audiences, but I think he should just keep it simple and showcase his amazing singing and guitar work. It is so heartfelt and honest and tender and that is rare today in music.
This performance gave me the courage to leave an awful marriage. It changed my life. I still have to come back and watch from time to time and give thanks.
I play this for my daughter all the time. Shes only three but i hope later in her life she can listen to this song and know how much i love her.
I’m no religious man but “God is inside you, all around you and up above” is a universal truth that sits fine with me.
You left off the best part! “Knowing, and showing, you the way”.
🤍 🕊

@@tammyvarnot6596 I don't know you but I want to let you know that I love you.
One of the best guitar pickers of our time
He sang this with more emotion than words can even articulate… thank you for being a one of a kind Sturgill!❤
6 years later and this is still captivating
I absolutely love every version of this song I've ever heard.

Cuttin Grass is such a great album.
Listening to him play that guitar, matched with his voice, is a spiritual experience…
PREACH words from my soul…
This guy is insane. The depth and intensity is flabbergasting
The song I put on when I have bouts of depression. Let out some tears and am on the mend. Thank you Sturgill
This song speaks to me in a way I cannot describe.
Exactly....

I managed to turn my country music disliking girlfriend into a fan with Sturgill, Chris Stapleton and a little know fella named Tyler Childers

Not a country western fan.....but man this is shear poetry. Hell of a message in these lyrics.....
Bob Wills is dead there is NO western n e more
Johnny Ballinger ..once ur down in texas bob wills is still the king
Monday Morning my Mother died in October and I feel as if she is standing right beside me when I hear this song. My wife made me a collage with her pics and these lyrics. I love it.
saturday mornings seems better
This is a prominent song on the soundtrack of my life.
This song somehow gets more beautiful throughout the years! Miss this dude!!!
These two Charlie Rose performances sound amazing stripped down to just the guitar. Love the new album, but would love to hear it in its entirety like this.
Brewman23 I couldnt agree more! Thanks for the support. __Sturgill
Bryan Sturgill ..lol
That was my one gripe with this album, his voice is just too good to have it swamped by the huge array of musical instruments/ jazz that took away something for me. When your this good, keep it simple, just focus on the voice. This is stunning.
Randy Reynolds za
ya I agree. ever since I saw his NPR tiny desk show a few years ago ive been dying to get an acoustic version of all his songs. so much better than the big band performance, I think..
My new favorite artist... Haven't seen talent like his in a LONG time. Listening to his music is like a breath of fresh air!
🙌🙌🙌🙌
How right you are. Same thoughts here to.
Words are hard to find. I ran across this song while feeling kinda down..there is healing in music for sure..
@ heart Im a heavy metal fan through and through but theres not a day that goes by that I dont listen to Sturgill. Hes got a talent that every person on this earth should hear. Simply amazing songwriter!
Heavy metal here too but this guy is great. I really like Whiskey Myers too. Not sure if you've heard them but it's worth a listen if you haven't.
Right there with you bud
Metal guy too. Sturgill is a amazing songwriter. This was my first and only choice for my wedding for the mother-son dance for my wedding.
Preach it. 🤘🏻 big doom metal, heavy psych, and stoner rock guy here. But there's a lot of good country music going on nowadays and while Sturgill is and will always be one of my favorites, he's the tip of the iceberg.
Amazing songwriter gives me hope.
One of the best songs ever.
Best thing in all of music
completely agree!
migos, nigga
Chills every-time I listen. Favorite song by him and I have heard all of them…
This is the song I want my children to understand . I'll love them even after I'm gone .
Yes!!!! I cried when he sang this at the Greek theater on Friday...just tears for my babies and one day not being here with them.
GTA killers sxp he said that the whole album is a message to his son
His right hand technique is absolute flawless! Do not sleep on this man fellas. For any guitar players out there that love his stuff get to work. His stuff is tuff. His playing style is one of a kind.
Saw Sturgill on the 13th in Ithaca. Best artist on the country scene right now man. Just amazing.
You ought to try Kamasi Washington too!
Are you talking about just country? Because he's by far the best for his genre but there are some other dudes out there still making music that are bad motherfuckers in their own right.
Also, Sturgill isn't just country, he makes "music".
Sturgill is a true artist. It doesn't get any better than just him and the guitar.
If I let it, this song makes me cry.. every time. EVERY TIME.
People dislike this? Sturgill is the man!
thezirons Sturgill has a lot of haters. Love this!
Liberal outlaw country stars get a lot of flack
This song just hits all the right spots when reflecting on the struggles of the past year.. thank god for music.
I wonder how many a mile was driven, how many a hour spent, in a ole piece of shit company truck, how many minutes did it take? his budding talent, his AMAZING writing intelligence, his wonderful intellect, HOW LONG DID HE SPEND HERE, before we,, COULD FINALLY HEAR? simply fucking brilliant!!!

instant tears in my eyes. he is just the best.

Sturgil is the country version of Damien Rice. And that is absolutely beautiful.
The whole LP A Sailor's Guide To Earth and his whole last LP Metamodern Sounds In Country Music

A song that gets me every time.
Love this song and I don't even listen to country . Makes me want to start listening more .

Great song to recommend to a friend when they're feeling a little low.
BEAUTIFUL!!! long gone are SUNDAY's @ the tank, God damn the web brothers for tearing it down!!!!!
When he said "inanoohaw" I felt that
I came across your comment at this exact part of the song. 😂
The genius prodigy of our generation!
ya, find me something better and i'll give you a high five ... probably be waiting years for that high five because this is that good.
Check out To Leave Something Behind from Sean Rowe; maybe that'll earn me that high five.
And a Grammy to top it all. Keep the music going Sturgill.
Beautiful :)
Ga damn I'm no producer but is his voice and that guitar the perfect volumes and tune anybody has heard since the first time you heard seven bridges road by the eagles
a song that will last an eternity, let this song in your heart and serenity will be yours forever!!

WOWZA!! What a killer performance on The Grammy's!!!
Simply the best around right now.

Imagine if you had to go on after this guy on that night....
Now that is how to play an acoustic guitar.
This guy is the second coming of christ he is aboundless so rich in talent just blows me away!!Merle haggard knows how to pick em!!

oh my god.
sturgill, you will never see this but when it comes to music it's you and waylon jennings, that's it. nothing else matters
needing my sunshine for sure
i am hearing a big van morrisson influence.
Tammy, wanted you to know that I not only followed you link I went on RUclips to click "like" to credit him for the listen. ♥
Love
makes you not want to SEE THE CMA's EVER AGAIN UNTIL HES CENTER STAGE!!!!!!
I love you AKGD
I think George, Waylon, Johnny, Keith (Whitley) and others would be both proud and impressed, Sturgill. I am.
where was this performance @ on the CMA's?? yall see it on there? i musta missed it, to bad cause it been the BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT! RIGHT?
Big KRIT I love you keep killin shit….
David Gray and Sturgill should do a duet.
Why is it not on Apple Music
a right hand, that musta took 30 years, and a APPALACHIAN, "BIRTH-RIGHT" 👉✌️🍄
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Pick?.....yes or no?....I've figured out how to play 92% of this song, only after watching it a million times over the last year n half...but still undecided if he has a pick or not..I dont think so. I play w/out.
I'm trying to learn this right now, do you have a link to the tabs or anything? Right now I'm just playing it over and over lol
damn-it boy.
Charlie Rose used to visit the Island
If Sturgill’s wife had not gotten him the fuck out of Utah, we wouldn’t be here. The Revolution will not be televised.
For the whole interview: charlierose.com/videos/29307
Where can I download this audio version?
SING it son!
Why is the volume so low
I think Grammy performances were over the top like everyone was on crack. I would have loved to hear a stripped down performance like this at the big stage.
