Checked this guy out, good shite. I listened to several songs but never heard any bluegrass. You got a name/link to one of those songs?

I'm just saying in some songs you can definitely tell bluegrass was one of his influences. Basically, if I were you I would download both of his albums......"High Top Mountain" and "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music"

His second album is more well rounded....
Check out:
Turtles All the Way Down
Living the Dream
Long White Line
It Ain't All Flowers (my fav of his)
Life of Sin kinda sounds like Dwight Yoakem's sound....Bakersfield.
If you likes these you'll like all he does

Sucks about that MS concert.
Not shite. I've seen Waylon and Jerry Jeff both get saucy with crowds (one over a lukewarm welcome for Jessi Colter and the other over a lukewarm welcome for Ramblin' Jack Elliot), but they both went on to bring down the house. At least they had reasons for giving a little hell.
The last time I saw this shitty of an undeserved audience treatment was in the 1980's when Conway Twitty showed up drunk and wearing a t-shirt, coaches shorts and tennis shoes. He could barely stand, sang a few hits to which he could hardly remember the words (much less annunciate them), then walked off stage. All that was missing was "Frick y'all! Goodnight!" [mic drop].
But then again, those 3 are legends and weren't beginning their career and playing in a 350 person venue-they were where they were because they paid their dues.
Strugill Simpson's music is solid. His stage manner-not at all.

When I saw him live I had an opposite experience. He was very gracious and prolly played longer than he should have.

I also heard him say in an interview that grass was a big influence on him, I just figured it would carry more into his music and that's why I asked...but I bet he does more of that type stuff in the future.

I've really liked what I've heard so far. One song I could hear some Keith Whitley too, this guy is a major talent and his lyrics are really solid as well. I'll have to get some of his music.

His lead guitar player is a freaking prodigy. He does things on the guitar I could only dream to do. He's from Russia, they found him on You Tube lol.
