Shhh, please don’t spook him! I’m worried we might not hear much from him if we make too big a deal out of this 😂
-
So easy to root for people who are themselves. Sturgill is a real dude. He'll never sell out to the machine
-
I don't give a flying f*ck what he calls himself, I'm just so damn happy to hear him singing again!!
-
I just wish Sturgill and Billy Strings would get together and make an album. The World really could use it!!!
-
This was so good. Sturgill has been an emotional support vessel for me. Seeing him in Chicago. Second time...can't wait.
-
Probably the only artist I would spend my money, time and energy to see live!
-
I had always casually listened to Sturgill, but it wasn’t until my mom passed away in 2021 that I really dove in. He really helped me get through some of the toughest moments of my life. Thank you
-
Fantastic interview. Love the new album. And God, I hope he had a great rest of that press day high as giraffe balls.
-
Instant classic. Soulful and pure...
-
Great interview. Glad to hear some of the backstory on the new album. Even more glad to hear that he seems committed to making more music.
-
Excellent interview! Keep doing your thing, Sturgill!
-
That was as satisfying as listening to a sturgill album Well done!!
-
Bless you Sturgill. Cheers from the South Carolina Lowcountry.
-
This has made my entire year. To know he is writing and singing again. He is so incredibly talented and I absolutely love him!!!
-
This is the best thing I've ever watched on YouTube. Really great questions. I feel sorry for people who don't supplement their lives with Sturgil
-
Best voice in music today.
-
This guy is unapologetically authentic and there's something so admirable in that. The new album is also some of his best work. Looking forward to seeing him perform the new songs live.
-
Best artist in 40 years! Cant wait to see him in Detroit.
-
The most impressive thing about this man is he could be the one the biggest artists/musicians on the planet and easily become an all time legend but he has no desire for any of that. For die hard fans like myself its what i love about him and also hate about him. Just listen to his old band Sunday Valley if you want proof.

I’m still appreciative of dood ..
