this record is very, very good. some influences are right out there (Merle Haggard especially), but there's a contemporary twist that's really cool. he's definitely listened to 60's garage-psychedelia too.
 
Yep, that's been in my play rotation. I like the freshness he brings.
Most recent country is putrid pop twang brocountry.

Not familiar with Sturgill, but listening now. I like it. Definitely a Waylon/Merle vibe goin on there.

He's got two albums out now and one in the works with Atlantic. His first one is my favorite and is a bit more traditional. The second got more experimental. It's good but not my favorite. The upcoming one is highly anticipated.

He's fantastic. I was really bummed I couldn't get a ticket to the Covington show. Scalped tickets were going in the $150 range! :eek:
 
Not sure he really fits into the New Country genre. More of a traditional singer/songwriter country artist. Not bad at all.

I finally got the first album last week and really like it. It was certainly more traditional yet unique compared to most country albums in the last decade.

I love the sonic twists the second album has, especially his vocal volume changes. That reminds me of someone who I just can't remember at the moment.
