    This guy is it. Probably wont get the recognition he deserves in Nashville because he isnt a candyass, but this guy is country for the blue collar grunts that crave the stuff that guys like Waylon took with him. And that is a compliment of the highest honor. Lyrics that hit home, and an amazing voice and band. Excellent stuff.

      Michael Palmisano it’s interesting to see the players Sturgill has surrounded himself with, always top of their class. Was just coming back to see if this was the same guitarist as on “listening to the rain- live Austin “.. and nope it’s not, that was Little Joe.

    I’ve been in a Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers rabbit hole for days and thought it couldn’t get any better. Then Sturgill pops up on the right....Sturgill is such a wonderful discovery. He’s blowing me away! I agree the country music on the radio is garbage. Let’s all give thanks for TH-cam and the talented artists we have the opportunity to enjoy.

    They say that looks can be deceiving
    And there's been rumors going round
    One look at me's the same thing as believing
    Everything you've heard without hearing a sound
    So if my eyes remind you of water in a well
    It's 'cause your heart is the stone
    I know sometimes it can seem like my mind
    Belongs to a child that's grown
    But somewhere between you and me I've lost my way
    And I've been trying to get home
    Trying like hell but it's too soon to tell
    If our love has all dried up like water in a well
    Lord knows I've tried to move on
    And get you out of my mind
    You find your way in to all of my songs
    Every memory I manage to find
    Someday if I'm standing on some big old stage
    And you're down in the crowd
    Trying to tell your friends I used to know him when
    But in your heart you'll know it ain't true somehow
    Trying like hell but it's too soon to tell
    If our love has all dried up like water in a well
    I know you see what it's doing to me
    I'm up here playing my part in this nobody town

    I"m a 70 year old rock, blues and jazz fan. Truthfully, I can hardly understand the words he is singing on this song. I ran into him on SNL and have re-watched those videos. I like Merle and some older country but I'm not a big fan of modern country, but I really like this guy. Glad this song is on the CD I just received and looking forward to the other two I have ordered. This guy crosses over because of sincerity and musicianship, talent and energy. This a great song.

    that really was the "magic" that i really remember, no.#1 was SOME HOW HE GOT A ACOUSTIC SOUND TO STICK OUT ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE, no.#2 lyrically he's just phenomenal, no.#3 is some HOW, he leaves you wanting MORE, after EVERY VERSE!!!! his voice is enticing as sin, yet as good as a angel... I could go on & on!! country radio really is starving for THIS KIND OF TRADITIONAL SOUND!!! anyone agree???

      I agree... I was lucky enough to have a "cowboy/hippie" Mama that introduced me to Willie Nelson and I hadn't heard anyONE that compared.. as far as lyrics & guitar .. all that REALLY matters ( Mickey & Paul were the BIG FAT cherry on top!!) UNTIL Sturgill! This guy makes me wish my Mama was still here on this Earth & together we would enjoy GREATNESS once again! I know that she listens to him & loves his music in Heaven though! This song has that "MAGIC" that "funny how time slips away" has... actually.. EVERY song Sturgill writes and plays does!! Johnny YOU have GREAT TASTE and as long as Country radio FAILS to recognize Sturgill Simpson is EVERYONE that still listens to it loss! If I had a Million $$ I'd buy him all the pills & weed he ever wanted!

    Water in a Well - Sturgill Simpson
    They say that looks can be deceiving
    And there's been rumors going round
    One look at me's the same thing as believing
    Everything you've heard without hearing a sound
    So if my eyes remind you of water in a well
    It's 'cause your heart is the stone
    I know sometimes it can seem like my mind
    Belongs to a child that is grown
    But somewhere between you and me I've lost my way
    And I've been trying to get back home
    Trying like hell but it's too soon to tell
    If our love has all dried up like water in a well
    Lord knows I've tried to move on
    And get you out of my mind
    You find your way in to all of my songs
    Every memory I can manage to find
    Someday if I'm standing on some big old stage
    And you're down in the crowd
    Trying to tell your friends I used to know him when
    But in your heart you'll know it ain't true somehow
    Trying like hell but it's too soon to tell
    If our love has all dried up like water in a well
    I know you see what it's doing to me
    I'm up here playing my part in this nobody town
    So if my eyes remind you of water in a well
    It's 'cause your heart is the stone
    Trying like hell but it's too soon to tell
    If our love has all dried up like water in a well
    Songwriters: Sturgill Simpson

Keep on with what you do. I keep one of your songs in my head most of the time.

    Like a tall glass of refreshingly delectable old school sounding country music. I shut my eyes and was transported back to the late 70s early 80s where I was sitting at my grandpas table listening to AM radio and this style and sound is what I hear playing in the back ground. So glad a friend shared Sturgill Simpsons music with me this morning. I cannot seem to get enough of that old time sound.
