Two years before Sunday Valley, Sturgill was my best friend and bandmate in Lexington KY. We used to listen to Prince everyday before we practiced. We were playing funk mixed jimi hendrix and hank 3. He is one of funkiest musicians i've played with and the coolest, funniest, nicest friend ever too. I am blown away everyday at his success. He is the perfect example of following your dreams can result in living your dreams. any who loves Sturgill , i love them. thanks for posting this. Before his success, he became friends with the Red Hot Chili Peppers which was crazy awesome to us. I want to hear him covert one of their songs.
Thanks for the thoughtful note. At Nscc we also have deep prince Minneapolis ties . We all attended the 1983 1999 tour show at met center - Prince , the time , vanity 6. / the time blew prince off the stage - and for the first 15 minutes the time channeled Otis Redding at Monterey - easily the baddest men on planet Next - I was at the Minnesota Dane theater benefit at first avenue Minneapolis - August 1983 - where prince debut the song purple rain - and live tracked much of the basic music for purple rain movie . Then July 1984 he did a surprise show at first avenue the week purple rain movie came out - transcendent Later several friends worked for prince on sign o times movie and other tours Then came Sturgill

Then came Sturgill
I never thought I'd hear Waylon Jennings sing purple rain ☔️
As if I needed another reason to like Sturgill even more. Prince was my all time favorite. Always like seeing others cover his music. Nice job.
Nscc was present. First avenue august 1983 for debut of purple rain Junior in college - an all time show with debut of Wendy in revolution
God Damn this is simply awesome!!! If Sturg couldn’t get any better, he comes back and pulls this off. ❤❤
Love the guitar of Sturgill Simpson, love his voice, what a great cover !
Awesome, thank you! He can play a guitar ❤ Saw him in 3/2020 and have tickets for late 9/2024. Can't wait.
Rock on!
I didn't get to go. I'm so mad. Ugh.
Thank you for giving homage to Prince❤
Our pleasure!
I swear he can sing the phone book and make it sound awesome.
I'm so glad Lurrrrrrrrrr is back!
Country version style of Purple Rain, chef's kiss!
It's just a cover. It doesn't need to be a "country" cover. As he is playing an electric guitar and there is no harmonizing.
Great cover. Dwight Yoakam has one too and is really good!
Amazing!! Thanks so much for capturing this and sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
