Sturgill Simpson plays "Long White Line" on Letterman

It’s simple. I see a Sturgill Simpson video and I hit “like.” 🤘🏼

[@flowerfarmerscott]

Sturgill doesn't get the credit he deserves. He's a GREAT songwriter. I'm a musician and have been learning his songs. I just learned "Turtles". It sounds like a country song but it's not the usual verse, verse, chorus, verse, chorus. It's a LONG verse, then a LONG refrain and then a weird little outro tacked on the end. It's fucking genius.

[@kevinrenegar8757]

Totally agree. I think he’s ultra talented. Off the charts. LOVE his stuff.

[@ICKYSZN]

He’s an amazing songwriter and turtles is so simple yet incredible I agree. Long White Line is actually a cover tho.

Agreed. Sadly, the garbage on the radio is what drove me away rom country music. I basically gave up on it in the mid 80s. Then I found Sturgill, Brent Cobb & Chris Stapleton and I'm back in business. The lesson here is that just as rock has it's alternative genre, so does country. I'll be watching out for more artists like these.

When someone says Hank Williams Sr doesn't have anything on Sturgill, it makes me sad. Then I realize they know nothing about music other than just hearing a sound and a melody.

[@danielmorris3687]

I was thinking the exact same thing. I read that post and couldn't even come up with a response to something so ridiculous. Hank Sr was probably the most prolific songwriter ever and the emotion he put into the plain yet still deep lyrics he wrote wont ever be matched. And all accomplished in a few short years before he died so young. Much respect to Sturgill because he is a talented musician but he aint no Hank Williams Sr. No one is.
