“Sturgill Simpson is making country music that is second to none right now” CLASSIC ROCK COUNTRY
“Country music’s most exciting new outsider” THE WASHINGTON POST
“He rejects the ‘Saviour of Country’ accolade but Simpson proved himself the true heir to Waylon Jennings and George Jones.” CLASSIC ROCK
“Sturgill writes and sings songs exactly as a man named Sturgill should. He’s the genuine article and his work reminds me of the country music I fell in love with as a kid: ornery, smart and soulful” JASON ISBELL
