You know, listening to the studio stuff I always assumed it was a vol pedal. You gotta have some real touch to incorporate the knob to steadily get that sound.
I’ve never missed Kentucky more than when I hear this high lonesome sound. I’m pretty sure he’s the greatest artist of our time. We’re lucky to have him.
I saw this episode when it aired. I remember almost turning it off when I saw it was a "country" band. It had been so long since I heard anything that was actual country that I just didn't have the heart to sit through another pile of fake country pooh. This right here was a breath of fresh country air. It was like a ghost from the past peeking its head out to remind the industry what country is supposed to be. Amazing live performance.
John Moreland, Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers, Sierra Farrell, Brent Cobb… The list goes on. Check out the GemsOnVHS and WesternAF channels here on TH-cam as well as W.B. Walker’s Old Soul Radio Show for finding great country/alt-country/americana/folk musicians.
Ward Davis just mentioned watching this performance today. He was paying the bills in Nashville and hating his life. He said Sturg gave him hope. It was his "I don't need Nashville" moment of clarity.
@@quenemoendThat’s funny, because there is a video of Stur playing live, and he says, “I get so tired of being told I sound like that other guy that I decided to play one of his songs!” He then does a really good version of Waymore Blues
How in the HELL does this sound so much better than the album version? Sometimes artists sound better live due to better communication of character, emotion, overall vibe... and all that’s happening here, but he sounds AMAZING in terms of technicality and vocal precision. Blows my mind.
The entire album was made for like $3000 their hands were kinda tied so they gave it old antic kinda sound to cover bad production plus a few years practice has happened and I think maybe a different 🎸 player. Idk. None of this may be true. But I heard it somewhere
Sturgill is such a treasured artist. reminds me so much of Waylon. This song and this specific line is just incredible song writing - "Hoping them circles don't call back telling me to start today" If you are under, I dont know, I guess 40, this line will pass you by. Put if you ever needed a job and all you had was the want ads, then this line is a complete mike drop
22 yo & not an American ,stop listening nowaday crap pop & hip hop ,listening to Waylon , Sturgill Simpson , DAC , Merle Haggard , Jerry Reed ,Johnny Cash & Paycheck , Keith Whitley , Whitey Morgan , Hank William 3 , George Jones , NRPS , CCR ,Buck Owen , JD Crowe & so on..keep country music alive
Conan "That was great " as if he were surprised... The look inSturgil's eyes.."whathe f@ck'dya'll expect" Lol Apparently that was Conans first time seeing Sturgil perform..
This is one of the most under appreciated country hippie rockers of our time and never gets radio play.
Yes he is, but us beer drinking back road cruisers appreciate him greatly! lol
I love sturgil and I don't want him on the radio. Long live sturgill!
He’s way too good for modern radio
Not under appreciated at all. Even the pop country folks know he's the best.
The only radio station I've ever heard him on is the hard rock station that occasionally plays songs by Cannibal Corpse
I heard this guy on Spotify and straight up thought it was classic country from the 70s. Shame he deserves way more recognition.
The way Laur plays with the volume knob and makes it sound like a pedal steel is just incredible. He’s too damn good
He closed the door on playing country, which is a shame. Incredible musician, but he's playing with Drivin n Cryin now.
So seemless you almost can't notice it.
Started scrolling to look for this comment. Incredible control. Hat off 🎩
Holy shit- didn’t even notice this until you pointed it out

I’m pretty sure he’s definitely one of the greatest artists of our time!
His music makes me miss Kentucky even though I've never been to the US. I guess that says something.
Live in NC. From greenup county KY. Miss it everyday.
Old kentucky has turned out some of the best down to earth musical performers, Kieth Whitly, Ricky Skaggs and Sturgal.and to many to mention.
Conan: “You killed that.”
Sturgill’s brain: “I know.”
Country perfection.
Good lord that was one of the most powerful performances Ive witnessed. Totally get Conan’s reaction this left me speechless.

Yes, he’s like another Waylon Jennings.

Some of his live performances are off the charts.
He found the cream
@@bordy217 he IS the cream
Because he is the king

Listening to this gives me chills. Sturgill is truly one of the best of our generation. Real, Raw, old school country the way it should be .
Is by far the most impressive songwriter of the last/10years
Well now we know who's gonna fill their shoes 😉
To the top of them boots
What an EXCELLENT comment Jules!!!
I couldn't agree with you any more if I wanted to!!!
Much love from Mobile Alabama.
Sturg is the man!
Not even close
@@jasonchilders7what’s not close?
My favorite singer singing my favorite song of his!!!!! He totally kicks ass!!! 👏👏👏👏
These songs w Laur on lead are hands down the best music Sturgill made
That lead guitarist is on FIRE! One hell of a job guys
Lawd, he has me back at the store getting 12packs again! Thank you!
Smacks Nashville upside the head, wake up , This is country music.
Word
Lived in nashville my whole life..it's a pop factory. All the good shit is coming out of Kentucky and Texas.
@@zenunderground Texas Country was called outlaw country back when , but was the best.
@@zenunderground I hear waylon and some hagg influance
Thanks for posting. Best version of this one. Coco had it down forever been missing 👍

The drummer is soooo good
Cmon Sturgill, bring this lineup back for a tour!!
he just did
@@MrSbmtrucker Yep! Already got my tickets to their first show in Aug!
I'm glad I got to see Sturgill with this band live. I hope he rounds them up for another tour some day.
One of my favorite singer to listen to ever! I would love to see on of his shows.
GREAT version.
To quote a fellow Sturgill fan on TH-cam “ This is some Grown Man Shit”” right here.....
That guy shredding that solo. Damn yeeeee haaaaw !
He's the best. No doubt about it.
This was the moment of revelation for the second coming of Waylon Jennings
I don't know Conan but he seemed visibly surprised.
Conan is a genuine music lover. Plays guitar as well. Has played on his show a couple times. I think he did it with Springsteen. ❤
So....waylon lives on......hell to the yeah!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this, been looking for it for years. Legend
Who came from conan scraps?
GO OVER THERE!
This is bulls**t!
apparently this wasn't the time lol
@@xooperz Yep, not the same album Conan held up in the scraps...bummer!
Love you Stergill!!!!
Hell yea sounds good!
Making Waylon Proud !!!!
One dislike was someone who sat around and waited to die
Poor guy made a big ole' pot of coffee but didn't have no cream
It is easier than just waiting around to die...ask Townes.
Just Livin Dream 😎✅
Killed it
Gotta listen to that SNL performance....dang it
Love this
So fucking good dear lord
AWESOME!
Waylon’s offspring? Dam he’s good !!
damm!! Love it.
Laur Joamets makes Telecasters cry he abuses them so much.
Nice Townes Van Zandt reference.
Bad Ass!
Conan was the best

Brother, you have the right idea. Listen to the good stuff. People with talent!
@@H311B0Y right western brother ,no one will fill their shoes
Your listening to real country !
@@TheDiamonddust1 yeah brother
You named a lot of my favorites 🔥🔥 Check out the song “Bear Skin Rug” by Old Lady. You won’t be disappointed
Where has this been???
Right? I’ve gone down multiple Sturgill rabbit holes through the past few years and just came across this the other day.
The believe the last upload got flagged and removed because some folks took offense at "Goddamn" on Live TV...
I KNOW!!! *Facepalm*
Anyone else hear Conan call him Jonah?
Hey Jonah that was great!!!
If you don’t like this, pack your shit and kick rocks
Tyler Davis I am mad because I didn’t see this sooner
Sturgill is the truth.
I am here from the Conan scraps.
Conan "That was great " as if he were surprised...
The look inSturgil's eyes.."whathe f@ck'dya'll expect"
Lol
Apparently that was Conans first time seeing Sturgil perform..
Check out the Conan scraps of this. You will thank me later.
stu!
Sturgill and Chris Stapleton the best male performers in any musical genre.
And Tyler Childers
Man I wish Lil Joe was still playing with Sturgill.
is that the dude playing electric guitar?
@@clayallen4354 yep, Laur Joamets.
Here after finding out the truth of the live performance 😅
Waylon passed the gift on to Sturgill..
Holy shizz
Is this an alternate tuning and capo 1, or am I high? Or both.
It is try his song (Sometimes Wine) the Sunday Valley rendition
YOU AINT GOT NO CREAM!
Jesus Loves You
Politics, music,movies you have search and search to find the good ones because they won't show you
🎸🍺😎👌🇨🇱
13 people stopped living the dream and have no cream.
Fill the boots me thinks
GD what I'd give for hair like that...
wut.
Well Sturgill if you were a real sailor (a submariner) you wouldn’t need any goddamn cream.
