OT: Sturgill Simpson Fans

[Rockydawg]

I haven't yet watched the pilot episode of Vinyl (HBO), but I have listened to the soundtrack. The theme song is performed by none other than Sturgill Simpson. If you thought he could do authentic country better than anyone else, hold on: turns out he knows how to rock also.

Listened to it this weekend

I like it, but as you said sounds nothing like what he usually puts out

Appears that turtles are driving the creativity. ***

I can dig it. He's often spoken about just making music & pigeon holed into a genre be damned.

I watched last nights show. It was alright. Odd seeing Ray Ramano like that.

His next album which Is already finished is supposedly very different than his last. Will be interesting to learn the differences.

 

[TankOwens]

His earlier music with Sunday Valley was very different that what he is currently doing as well - more Hank IIIish...... There are some youtube vids of his current tour with him doing some old soul covers that are pretty good as well.

He's often said he won't be cajoled into one genre of music. Reactions to his next album may be similar to what you saw between Licensed to Ill and Paul's Boutique many years ago.

Slight hi-jack: I never really liked Hank III. In fact couldn't stand him. Any point in giving him another listen? If so, recommendations?

Usually when I'm listening to Hank III, I'm up to no good.

Hank III is what I listen to when I'm doing speed. I'm also a fan of Assjack. Hank III shows are tremendous.

if you want to get drunk, mad and break **** - then sure why not.

You should try Straight To Hell but on vinyl. Not to sound pretentious. It's just more interesting that way...

As I'm no longer in my 20's I don't "break ****" anymore. Yet, as Meatloaf says "2 out of 3 ain't bad."
