Austin City Limits Web Exclusive: Sturgill Simpson "Some Days"

[@smitchell2339]

Everyone says he sounds like Waylon. I hear a mix of a few Country greats, but mainly just hear Sturgill Simpson. He is a legend in his own right.

[@johnflaherty4232]

Definitely!!!

[@Alltypz]

Solid on that.

[@lysdexicsoftheworlduntie1881]

I hear and see a lot of Keith Whitley in Sturgill myself. But, I agree, the man is a legend unto himself.

[@mattsternstein6103]

wisdom.

[@katybirdlarkin]

Truth

[@brandon26500]

Nobody cares, but the amount of discipline the drummer has and understanding of his place and each song is amazing. That type of playing is hard to come by anymore but I love it

[@bobbywaters853]

well said my man, he holds alot of pocket

[@thekendalls6519]

AMEN!

[@h-town7198]

He’s the only one in the band from the start

[@sethcole2333]

Miles miller (sturgills drummer)is also a badass singer too

[@tonewalljaxon7062]

that drummer is a MONSTER.

[@schlorn]

Saw them live 2 times. Rocked the house balconies shook.

[@palaciosophy]

Sturg is so god damn country he had to tone it down and wear some new balance shoes.

[@peekay1ne]

+Eric Palacios I respect his choice of sneaker

[@TMoody]

Yeah. :-)

[@bryandehart670]

Best comment ever

[@catherinecalvert7555]

LOL, that is a great comment!

[@hermanmelville3871]

Navy issue.

[@theemersons4890]

This is the best damn thang I heard since Waylon Jennings and I named my first son after Waylon. Glad to hear there is still some real music. God knows their aint none playin on country radio.

[@kristyhutchinson6614]

+Dustin Emerson I drove 5 hours to see him live and it was worth every minute of the drive.

[@Seanybiker]

+Kristy Hutchinson how far would you drive to see me :):):) ah yeah he is a fucking legend. he's playing here in ireland next week but I cant go :(

[@kristyhutchinson6614]

+sean mc donagh Well I can't drive over water.. but I do have a boat... :P

[@Ianmcguire1993]

Laur joamets is a monster guitar player, one of my favorite slide players also!!!

[@sgenetti77]

[@tubby6339]

Miss him being in the lineup

[@lockhunter6956]

Wish this man still did shows

[@trevorwilson4933]

Good news, friend. He’s back and BETTER THAN EVER!!!

[@fieldsidepottery3654]

That voice, that voice!!! Like listening to Waylon and Coe....real country music! Love your style!

[@helenabasquette7222]

[@GardenGirlD76]

I got introduced to this from The Leftovers!! Wow Strugill Simpson! You are authentic and awesome! If Country music would get back to real music like this I would listen to it more!

[@billgatesleavingyamomshous8177]

George Jones is the GOAT

[@moeperry3606]

[@jeffrp73]

To the people who thumbed this down ... Sturgill is gonna make you go pick your switch

[@bobthabuilda1525]

Like Merle Haggard meets the Allman Brothers! Just awesome!

[@iamnursejennie5123]

OBSSESSED.......................🤩

[@ballin5213]

I am sure hank done it this way

[@kevinneary8798]

He needs to release a live album

[@iamnursejennie5123]

When the RAMBLIN FEVER of the guitar starts at 00:53………..❤

[@craigc2845]

Favorite song right now. Speaks for a majority of people of how they feel about their society.

[@Wompzalot]

Heater 🔥

[@Raini411]

Who cares what he wears, he and his band jam so badass! I love him 😍

[@Dels_Insignificant_Other]

This gives such a Duane era ABB vibe. A new intensity on each song and almost a jam rock edge that the record doesn’t have.

[@rainbowloomoverflow5106]

Lil Joe is my guitar hero Saw two shows back in May.

[@TaterQ104]

As Jaren Johnston would say "that guitarist is a ninja"! Wow!!!

[@noneyabiz3276]

Iv go to see these guys live. I'm going to make sure I do.

[@howlinhowdy3578]

Sturgill HOTDAMN MANG....KEEP ON IT MAN ...UR TELE CHICKN PICKN IS FEEEEEENNNNAAAMINALLL SON!!! THANK YOU FOR BRING THE SOUND BACK AWESOME ...ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LINE ...CHASEN THAT LONG WHITE LINE TOOO..MUCH LOVE n PEACE " HOWLIN HARPMAN HOWDY"

[@rogerbarker2231]

Not sure if anyone has ever mentioned this, but he sounds a little bit like Waylon!

[@JediFishKC]

His drummer is in the damn pocket.

[@bobstone8667]

Syrugell must be kin folk to Ronnie VanZant, his live perfornmaces are as good and many times better. This wass one of VanZant's traits with L.S.

[@HaiDouzo]

fuck me...I will never get sick of Laur's guitar playing.

[@DuckfatTavern]

So great. For some reason I would love to hear some clav in this song.

[@microcosm6871]

+Andrew Morris I heard it as soon as I read it!

[@bad1748]

I know this man's music touched me deep inside in more ways than one ❤

[@cesaw7]

hell yes! I'm glad I cant get to your concerts. no body would like me there lol! I love listing thoe!

[@joethoman8651]

Holy shit. He’s amazing.

[@shirleyjennings5787]

Great Tune!

[@johnwinnerdz1]

some days you blast off, some days you just smoke. LOL

[@helenabasquette7222]

so great !

[@TadAskew1]

Not too shabby

[@TMoody]

This is fuckin' it right here.

[@georgemercer3013]

STRUG ...THE NEW COUNTRY MUSIC LOVE IT...

[@georgesoros5769]

Those who know, they get it. Those who don't, fuck'em we don't need'em.

[@wajobu]

So great to see Sturgill on ACL!

[@ripwheeler8175]

How many fucking guitars does Laur have ? They all sound good but by god he has a new one every show

[@johnspace1876]

...in the end, ya'h know they won't.

[@freudensammlerzweitkanal6296]

What´s the name of the lead-guitarist? Thanks for help. ... update: found it: It´s Laur Joamets

[@angelamayberry9521]

+freudensammler - Giorgio Carlocitta Laur Joamets say like "LA-owr". He's Estonian, and shreds with such class- ridiculously good. In circles he's known as 'Lil Joe'. Sturgill's producer found him and brought him to Nashville, I think. Man's got skills- you'd swear that was a pedal steel your ear was hearin'

[@freudensammlerzweitkanal6296]

+Kev Martin - Thanks a lot! I hope he´ll be in Hamburg in January with Sturgill.

[@ronbo11]

+freudensammler - Giorgio Carlocitta He's an awesome musician!

[@Kennyk77]

Laur

[@OlRed.]

I think he sounds a lot like Jerry Reed

[@johnflaherty4232]

Who's just now finding Sturgill?

[@mrpatter19888]

Welcome, some days I listen to everything he has put out beginning to end while working. Gives me like 5-6 hours or so, and I don’t ever get bored

[@bigbullsfan1]

If Hank, Waylon, Coe had a Baby together.. dam good music.

[@simplyorange8553]

Why did they tape over ROLAND on the keyboards?

[@TheRealmRover]

I don't care about the Waylon comparisons. That's great, but at the end of the day this is REAL. "Country Music" as they call it now - that "fiddle-pop" country-rap Georgia/Florida brain-dead low-effort b.s. they play now, is nothing in comparison.

[@knotsnights6940]

huh...a country song I actually like. that's new.

[@brianharbin5580]

I think he sounds a lot like Hank Jr!!

[@pearljameric]

What happened to the guy in the "Sun King Brewery" video? Prefer that version and guitarist.

[@49dwalin55]

Yeah he was a great guitarist. Nothing on Laur though.

[@darrylhoward4444]

Two great guitarists, but I prefer the brewery version: Adam Davis has a much cleaner sound, and he's so entertaining to watch!

[@wadejordan2998]

Can't believe 30 people gave this a thumbs down,WTF!

[@dougodyssey50]

They are probably Big n Rich fans. They can't stand good music.

[@reubensolly2237]

(Drum beat) VERY SUPERSTI.......... o wait.

[@rummerlinelmo]

Waylon reincarnated

[@VA434]

Well this dude right here is a BMF.

[@Alltypz]

Stellar artist. Wish a banjo replaced the electric guitar.

[@DaRoyaleWCheese]

Listen to the Cuttin’ Grass version.. basically a bluegrass version.

[@sgenetti77]

Man, you really should check out their studio recordings before proclaiming that about Laur Joamets. This blistering live sound he's using is more broken-up than it is on most of the stuff on the records, more distorted. That dude plays Telecasters exclusively I believe and he gets a lot of different tones out of them, including straight country twang, imitating steel guitar with his slide and pinkie on the volume knob, a bunch of stuff. Sturgill is a great musical artist. He's not quite country or Americana or whatever label, just like Billy Strings isn't straight bluegrass either, and that's another artist that's just simply incredible as a player and songwriter.

[@Hank0912]

EVERYTHING! about u guys are great cept u dont make ur wrds clear enough to understand wtf your singing!

[@880south]

+fatdaddy53 haha. seriously, get a hearing aid. it's clear as day. he's even better live in concert. epic guitarist too!

[@Hank0912]

HE MUMBLES HIS WORDS BUT I DO LOVE THIS SHIT

[@Strumbum01]

Get some Laur!

[@Hank0912]

why the fuck are we hearing chris stapleton wannabe motherfucker and not sturgill on my radio...grrrrrrrr

[@robertgreene2579]

+fatdaddy53 Chris Stapleton is great man, I dont know what your talkin about. He is introducing many new people to "real" country music, I think he is great for country music

[@tacomalife5205]

+Robert Greenethumb Agreed, both are the Saviors, along with Isbell, Whitey, Jamie, Cody among others. ..

[@paulachristian9846]
