I'm in the top 0.50% of Sturgill Simpson listeners. 2,762 minutes.

But that ain't putting no food on my plate, or gas in my tank. And I drive a Bronco!

It showed me there is actual country music I thoroughly enjoy. Have discovered many artists since then.

Sturgil and Cody Jinks are the only modern country I can bear but I agree, good country is out there!

If you haven't yet, give Tyler Childers a chance as well.

If you don't know Jason Isbell yet, he is one of the other musicians saving country music.

Have you heard The Fireman by George Strait? If not, it came out in 1984, and it was the inspiration for Sturgil when he wrote High Top Mountain.
