Yeah, but his latest album was terrible. I couldn't finish it.


Terrible is a bit of a stretch. It was definitely over-produced imo. Id much rather hear his voice against a more stripped down sound than some van morrison concept album but thats just me. I thought there were a few great tracks on there

I do worry a little that sturgill will stay on the path of sucking his own dick the way this board does and just try entirely too hard the next few albums

A huge stretch. His last album was very good and adventurous. He's tried something different with each album. Hightop was more of a solid country album. Metamodern blended country and psych rock. Sailor's Guide was like nothing I've heard before either. I hope he changes things up again to keep things fresh and exciting.

Anyone shitting on Sailors is out of their fricking mind. There’s a reason it had more critical acclaim than his other two. It’s a fantastic album. It’s cohesive af too.

I don’t really care what he does in the future. The album referenced in the OP will always be in my rotation, and is a goddamn masterpiece.
