Sturgill, you have taken me back to 1955, when my family took us kids to a Hillbilly park near St. Louis, where we saw Lefty Fizzell sing this song. It is a good memory.

It was Johnny Rion's Hillbilly park, at the Chain of Rocks bridge. You paid one fee to get into the park, then you could go from one of about 5 or 6 stages around the park to hear vaious artists perform. It was great!

Sturgill nowhere to be found or heard. What a crying shame. Thank God for Sturgill sticking to the roots of country music and giving us something we love to hear.

If this is not real country music I guess you are right, Sturgill makes Covers his own and does not perform the same old hum drum versions that's been done a hundred times. This is also a live performance with no studio tricks!

This has to be the best version of this song I've ever heard. Sturgill really kicks it in towards the end. Love this Kentucky Boy !!!

Props to the lead guitarist, especially at 3:42. Gave me an eargasm.

Hey kids this is real country. Get em Sturgil

Far and away my favorite country singer. One day this guy popped up on my feed and I've been sold since. Been about two years now since I first heard him, and nothing has compared to his music.

Probably listened to this fifty times since it was published. Still a heart punch. Love ya, Stu. Thanks for everything. Your future is brighter than your past. Even your recent glorious past. Pretty amazing. God bless you.

A country boy will survive!! Sturgill Simpson has no idea just how badass of a real country music musician he is and how many hours i have spent listening to and TRYIN to sing his music. An amazing individual to watch and listen to. I could only imagine hangin out with him. So PLEASE COME TO 181 Gilreath Way DAHLONEGA, GA 30533 and play all us country folk some real music!! I promise the folks around here would make u right at home!!

Modern country has reminded me of rap/hip-hop since about the late 80's. Over produced, superficial garbage with high school lyrics. As such, I've never liked any country (except for pickers) in decades. Sturgill and his band...man, the REAL DEAL. Even amongst the handful out there marketed as "real"...this guy is just galaxies beyond. He sounds and acts honest and believable when he "performs". The vibe and tones from the band are just as authentic and raw as dirt. This has to be some of the best country EVER produce! IMHO

what a awesome job.sounds like it comes from the heart keep it up.real country music about time

He's damn sure doing this song some justice. Mirrors...Broken down Dreams, Tears and I never go around Mirrors.

Until people stop buying what is considered Country Music now Nashville will keep dishing it out. Nashville is about making money. When I speak of Nashville I'm talking about the business side if it. So in order to get Nashville to offer what you want your gonna have to demand they change where they invest their money. Also there is an explosion of talent and people can be seen more than ever now. Thanks to social media. So honestly if the people support your music and show up for the shows an artist can make it. Basically build your fan base up and get someone who can manage the money so its invested back into getting the artist music back out there. Country music artist who connect with their fans have a bond that's unbreakable as long as you don't screw them over.Think I'm gonna put all of my thoughts here? Lord no but I will earn my keep lol. Remember stay hungry because complacency will drown your music. I told someone many years ago traditional country music was wanted. They said no it isn't. From what I read on here it is.

I'm glad he shouted out lefty in the beginning.

At 3:03 mark he and the rest of the band goes full on GOD mode
