If anyone wants the lyrics: In a far away land I'm living in dreams So often at times I'm with you it seems But I know I am dreaming when I think of you In foggy old London across the deep blue Deep blue in the ocean it's so deep and wide And I've got a notion I'll cross it tonight And I'll fly like a bluebird up there in the sky In foggy old London I'll find my blue eyes When your letter came I opened to find You had been crying while writing each line But you never mentioned no reason for tears And foggy old London is so far from here Deep blue in the ocean it's so deep and wide And I've got a notion I'll cross it tonight And I'll fly like a bluebird up there in the sky In foggy old London I'll find my blue eyes In foggy old London I'll find my blue eyes

Sturgiill, you're an asset to my spirit.Thank you my friend. True Americans are hard to find. You are welcome at my campfire anytime.

[@treyowen]

Has no one else mentioned that guitar playing. That was super good

[@coreyburke5302]

Trey Owen one of the best around

[@chordle1605]

He's lowkey one of the best acoustic players I've heard. Effortlessly plays super technical chord changes while singing.

[@mattstone4327]

That guitar is what all guitars dream about sounding like.

[@mmagpi3867]

Great song....how did I miss this one???!!

[@kevinwimbish5301]

Sturgill looks super excited about doing that intro. lol. I'm sure they made him do it.

[@ZeroMilk]

"Introduce yourself and tell us where you're at, and don't forget to mention our company name."

[@trippmiller6199]

Garden and Gun no good.

[@therealest9001]

How am I just hearing this for the first time in 2021? Sturgill, you rock brotha!

[@chrisbotsford9137]

Sturgill speaks to my heart & spirit. Keep doing you S2!

[@RynosWorld82]

Just amazing....i love how he can take old songs and make them brand new....while still holding onto the original

[@jeffmally4690]

Your voice goes straight into my soul

[@bernardhossmoto]

This was on my 46th birthday. Thank you very much!

[@jamescody7956]

Love his rendition of this song!!

[@aronlathan2978]

I'm sure he doesn't care but it has to hurt some to know just how incredibly talented you are and your playing these back porch sessions while guys like Aldean and Bryan are selling out cowboys stadium. SMFH. Guess he won't mind playing @ my barn if the price is right.

[@davidmolyneux5289]

That's country music these days, I'm afraid

[@earmstrong423]

I don't think Sturgill is hurting for cash these days.

[@damonbaesler3149]

Aron Lathan He's had many opportunities that he's turned down. He is a class act. WHEN he gets there, and he will, he will have done it HIS WAY.

[@pjblake1969]

No more back porches for sturgill

[@marthacattnurse]

Aron Lathan he just won CMA artist of the year and beat all the big named artists. He's moving up !

[@alexa999]

❤❤❤❤ LOVE STURGILL!!

[@robertbenedict5648]

You guys should look at who else has done one of these back porch sessions....it's not really a rinky dink thing.... Doyle Lawson and some other greats have been there

[@Kklvr86]

sturgill is a modern day Waylon Jennings!

[@chrisboggess18]

No disrespect to Waylon, but I think Sturgill is going bigger..

[@robertmorris9219]

Sturgill is like a perfect blend between Waylon, Merle Haggard, and John Prine

[@nobody-ly9ef]

Nothing aginst others opinions, but I see Sturgil as one of a kind....he can be described but impossible to defined by labels, generas, or comparisons to others.....if I had to label him, I would say humble, authentic, honest, and wise personified

[@ArgentWarrior]

There's only one sturgil quit comparing him to others , he's a diamond

[@kristyhutchinson6614]

He's so freaking cute. Oh- and his sound kicks ass, too. Hoping he comes back to the Northeast on the next tour- can't wait to see him again!

[@mic8435]

Ole Jimmy Martin tune… killer

[@thehighvibe5528]

i love you sturgill!

[@plasteredbastard]

Keeping it real and true

[@loveandlight8533]

I think I'm in love ♥️

[@Bishyc04]

[@williammoon8255]

[@kyledomini5180]

Talent on loan from God

[@nickhawkins6054]

Pretty sure he’s stoned! 😂😂

[@derbydetailing9614]

Exactly, why not. The world is on fire.

[@notanymore9471]

I am , not sure why he would not be

[@mkk3351]

stoned so what still one of the best not some pop country

[@brandonpate4592]

Hate to think he wasnt...

[@nickhawkins6054]

@@mkk3351 didn’t say it was bad, just making an observation!

[@xg1027]

oh, god. He is cute and sexy and amazing artist

[@annabouthillier9115]

Does any one have the tab for the solo/lick in this song?

[@spacecowgirl68]

always with the cute sneakers ;)

[@VicariousAquarius]

It's an FU to all the no talented asshats wearing cowboy boots that know 3 chords and sing about beer pong out in a field with a pickup.

[@spacecowgirl68]

ha

[@KennethRhame]

Tip of the hat to another real country legend that wore sneakers (ckeirn.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/img_3400.jpg)

[@txchaos4745]

what's is this song

[@tannerwhetsel859]

In Foggy Old London- Jimmy Martin. Great cover by Sturgill!

[@ericmercury3187]

Aron, ( below) Aldean and Bryan are no longer creative forces, they follow the money which is repetitive 'hits' that have no real soul, just a marketing budget. Sturgill has been a force ' on the back porch' for a few years, because he has that wide range of talent that the CMA sucks out of so many. Be glad he has not sold out and we can enjoy his real music.

[@RynosWorld82]

Anybody got the chords hes using?

[@johncreighton44]

Ryno's World he uses E, A, B7 in a ton of songs with a bunch of hammer ons, pull offs, and flatpicking riffs thrown in. It's simple and complicated at the same time.

[@benjaminwright668]

Are y'all doing tonight I

Sturgill i saw on the music awards where you said, just 4 years ago..., I find that inspirational, and your songs are Philsophical Geines, the music, astounding. The pic there is the cover of my book "nanobugged", published and availaible at most on line book stores. I self published, having one offer from Sarah Publishing out of Texas to do it for probono and that was with stipulation they edit my choice of wording. Being a true story I stayed true to the slang/cussing. I promote conatantly. If i see my million i have to clear 4 on account 75% of my profits go to the Shriners childrens hospital. I would appreciate it if you would put in a good word for me on anorher subject that should coat tail the book to stardom, this is my movie i would like Billy Bob Thornton and Steve Harvey to team up on directing. Its mostly comedy with splashes of more. You can reach me at nanobugged Googled and drop a line at facebook. Please ride to the end of part 2 and the cliff hanger should roll you over the edge. , Thanks. kzbin.info/aero/PLITEGzdhTVpwHW67ojA1aDmdxVg_q4N3b
