>Maybe it's because I've been listening to Sturgill Simpson

My friend talked me into going to see him in concert last year in Boston (I agreed so long as he'd come to PRhyme with me the next nite) and it was one of the most awful experiences of my life. I *hate* twangy country music and he is the epitome of that.

So whatever, not for me, sounded just like every other country singer I've ever heard. But a couple people are into that stuff, pretty standard.

But his new album just came out or whatever and legit EVERYBODY is raving about it. So many people I wouldn't have expected included.

Just weird to me. Maybe it's just because of how "standard twang country" it sounds to my ears but I just can't understand why he stands out from the rest of the people who sound just like him. Haha.
