re: Sturgill Simpson guitar player

He isn't an arse. He just wants to make each record sound distinctly different. That is difficult to achieve playing with the same people over and over. He signed with Atlantic just to get Brad Walker (LSU boy) and the horn section paid...dearly. Now they have some money, a Grammy, a world tour and the experience that goes with it, and artistic freedom to draw upon. Not sure exactly why Laur bolted, but I don't get the vibe it was rooted in conflict. Some people just have to try new things. Maybe he wanted to prove his talents weren't only because of the guy he played for.

Btw, Sturgill rippin' a Telecaster with four on the floor sounds damn good.
