If you even know about Sturgill, I think that implies you drive your proverbial musical taste truck off the interstate every now and then. In that case, how would an artist slightly changing genres shock or make someone mad, especially after the progressive qualities of Metamodern? Especially from country to rock, which is almost too obvious...maybe if he went in an EDM direction as he's threatened I'd see their point.Cole Younger wrote:My head isn't exploding as I really like this song and like it more and more with each listen.

No kiddin. Between "Brace for Impact" and "Sugar Daddy" from that Vinyl show on HBO they are going to stroke out.bovine knievel wrote:Yea some heads are gonna explode!Smitty wrote:Love that album cover.

I don't know that it is making anybody mad. But I can see some people not being willing to follow him where he's headed with this one. I'm not one of those people. I can't wait until this record is released. But there are fans of his who are pretty invested in him making the kind of country music they've wanted a current artist to make who may not love this. Even though I don't feel that way I can understand it. I don't feel like there's anything wrong with that beyond it being too bad that some people aren't interested in anything beyond one genre of music. Even though Sturgill never asked for that whole "savior of country music" mantle it was thrust upon him. And even if he doesn't consider himself just a country artist I don't think it's unreasonable if some people heard his first two records and thought that was what he was. As bubba asked somewhere on this board once, "if Sturgill Simpson isnt a country singer then what is he?" I don't know. I definitely drive my musical taste truck off the interstate. Pretty much all the time (sometimes I get out and turn my coon hounds loose in the woods beside the road. That's for you, clams). but I try to stay away from music snobbery.Smitty wrote:If you even know about Sturgill, I think that implies you drive your proverbial musical taste truck off the interstate every now and then.

Go check out the comments on the Saving Country Music site about the album announcement and "Sugar Daddy". I'm also against music snobbery (to a degree) and that's absolutely what I'm railing against here. Its not about liking his new stuff; some folks won't and there's nothing wrong with that, but people feeling " betrayed" by him going in a different direction is just weird to me, especially since I don't think he's changing direction as much as expanding on what he started with "Metamodern".Cole Younger wrote:I don't know that it is making anybody mad.

fuck em?

If it wasn't obvious from Metamodern Sounds that he's a much more varied cat than that narrow influence then fuck 'em. I' also like that he's moved away from Dave Cobb for this one.

Pre-ordered from my local today. He gives 10% off new release pre's, and I'll probably spend another 20 bucks from the used bins. He's got me right where he wants me.Duke Silver wrote:Had the pre-order in my cart and ready to go, but $10 for standard shipping is nuts. I'll just wait until my local shop has it.
