Sturgill Simpson - "Water in a Well" (Live at Sun King Brewery) 

Marty Robbins is gone; George is gone; Waylon is gone; Merle is gone -- But we have Sturgill.

That guitar player - Adam Davis - is beyond outstanding. Tasteful, restrained, but poignant when it's time to drive it home. Such a treat to see.

This guy is it. Probably wont get the recognition he deserves in Nashville because he isnt a candyass, but this guy is country for the blue collar grunts that crave the stuff that guys like Waylon took with him. And that is a compliment of the highest honor. Lyrics that hit home, and an amazing voice and band. Excellent stuff.

I can never get enough of this song thumbs up if you agree!

This is county music by God. Woo hoo

I don't know how many times I've watched this, but never when my little girl is around; I don't want to have to explain to her why daddy has tears in his eyes.

I’ve been in a Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers rabbit hole for days and thought it couldn’t get any better. Then Sturgill pops up on the right....Sturgill is such a wonderful discovery. He’s blowing me away! I agree the country music on the radio is garbage. Let’s all give thanks for RU-vid and the talented artists we have the opportunity to enjoy.

Am I the only one who listens to this song at least once a day?

Sturgill will ALWAYS be one of my all time favorite artists. His music will last an eternity and withstand the test of time. What a gift to enjoy his music at will.

I hope to see this guy in concert soon. This dude has got the sound that needs to be on the radio every day

I like this version better than the studio cut on the album. The guy on the Telecaster is legit.

Dear God, thank you for giving this man his talent and his voice. Answered prayer...

How in the actual F*** are there over 900 people that disliked this? This is by far the best version of this song out there just because of the lead guitar.

No way ANYONE touches this guy in country music.. the undisputed best

Sturgill should be topping the charts. He's underated and hidden. One of my favourites and one of the best our generation will hear and see

Yo that guitarist.... I dont know if the casual listener understands the gravity of what he is doing in this song. This is like a top ten all time guitar performance of all time.

This guy is a national treasure.

This song is amazing! Can't believe it took me 10 years to find it!

You just can’t hear this enough! Why? Because it moves you! God bless Mr Simpson and his band.

They say that looks can be deceiving And there's been rumors going round One look at me's the same thing as believing Everything you've heard without hearing a sound So if my eyes remind you of water in a well It's 'cause your heart is the stone I know sometimes it can seem like my mind Belongs to a child that's grown But somewhere between you and me I've lost my way And I've been trying to get home Trying like hell but it's too soon to tell If our love has all dried up like water in a well Lord knows I've tried to move on And get you out of my mind You find your way in to all of my songs Every memory I manage to find Someday if I'm standing on some big old stage And you're down in the crowd Trying to tell your friends I used to know him when But in your heart you'll know it ain't true somehow Trying like hell but it's too soon to tell If our love has all dried up like water in a well I know you see what it's doing to me I'm up here playing my part in this nobody town

There's so many great things I could say about this song, but I'm just gonna say WOW!!! I need this real country music in my life, and thank you Sturgill, you give country music hope, my brother!!!

Sturgill reminding us that there are indeed levels to this sh*t!!!

Still listening 6 / 26/23 I know you’ve seen what you doo for us fans ❤️

Again he has made me a bigger fan than before. I've listened to music in 8 decades. This man sings from the heart about life and all that comes with it. Up or down he has a special way of telling it. Hopefully he will soon be recognized for his talents and be rewarded thusly.

He’s got such a classic sound. Absolutely love it.

He is the heart of real country music . Love the sound of his voice .❤️❤️

He's beyond, beyond outstanding. Gift from the heavens

Comin’ from the heart! Outstanding performance! Thank you Mr Simpson!

As an Old Water Well Driller this guys nails it. Thank you Sturgill.

Sturgill Simpson is carrying on a GREAT legacy, in music, for Kentucky. Keith Whitley is the best that ever did it. I can imagine him smiling, right now.

Somewhere between you and me I’ve lost my way and Ive been trying to get back home…trying like hell but it’s too soon to tell….this single line drew my attention to just lost I had become. thank you sturgill for dragging me out of my self created mental hell and showing me the way home.

This is one of the first songs I found by Sturgill... immediately hooked. This is real countru music, with soul

Thanks Sturgill for saving country music.. between you Jamie Johnson, and Chris Stapelton, there's still hope.

Most people and artists today don't know what country music is. This man sure hits the ball out of the park with his music.❤

Trying to speak to your significant other the difference between loving someone and being love! Knowing all is about to hit the fan and piss 18 years away! This is the only song I turn to! Dam good drinking song!!!!

This is amazing that it comes from four dudes first of all. Drummer is on point the bass player wonderful, the guitar player outstanding knows exactly what to do and when to do it and then to top it off you have Sturgill singing and his lyrics! This is just an amazing performance.

I could listen to this song a million times in a row, and it would get me every time...

It’s a damn shame guys like him aren’t getting more attention or any air time. But he’s not a skinny jeans wearing, fake country douche bag so todays industry looks over the real ones. His voice reminds me of Waylon so much.

Most authentic, country tone I've heard in years! The REAL future of country music!!

Love how this song was written musically. So beautiful. Its amazing how a song can be written and the melody and music sounds like it is telling the same story as the lyrics. That is how you know this guy is the best of the best. His music and talent goes beyond topping billboard charts and being wealthy. Its something very special.

This version is the best version. Damn.

As someone who has played since they were 10, the guy on the telecaster straight fucking laid it down. This smooth, slow, easy, and clean is so much harder to play than rock or something fast and technical like good metal.

I had lost faith in the watered down country music of the day till now. May you get your due, sir!

Dang this is so good. You don't hear that sound anymore. Dang!

Son, if I had my way, I would lock Sturgill's ass up in the Sun King Brewery forever! Man! that's some of the best of him and his posse!

2020 still jammin classic Sturgill!🤘

This kid is the real thing and the next big thing, country needs this, he is a cross between Waylon and Merle.

This cat is brilliant. Have not heard a bad song yet from him.

Sturgill is so awesome, and the fact that most people now days don't even know who he is, and still call themselves country music fans(while listening to Luke Bryant, Chase Rice, Florida Georgia Line) are so Sad!

This version is so heartfelt and beautifully done. I could weep every time I hear it. This song is legendary status for me..some deep Willie, Waylon and Johnny root right here...keep on keepin on my man!!!

It's a shame I live in Nashville and they don't give him credit for his music he's a great music artist he's one my best he knows how to hit you in the heart and soul..

Probably the best performance I have ever witnessed! It's sad that everything is on the internet now cause these boys deserve a standing ovation!

A man singing his own style. Not since Johnny Paycheck, Waylon, Hank Jr., Has country music heard anything like this. Shame on you country radio for not playing this mans music.

His voice is haunting to my soul. Love it!

I would love to shake the hand of the cat what came up with the the venue idea and layout. Just magic.

HOW COME I HAVENT HEARD OF THIS GUY BEFORE? THIS IS REAL COUNTRY MUSIC !!

Keep the faith, Sturgill. Temptations will come, but stay true to the Country Tradition. No songs about trucks and beaches. Kentucky Soul.

Jim Croce, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson..... I hear them all in Sturgill Simpson's music, a TRUE talent. Not one fabricated in Hollywood to sell records ... the reason you dont hear him on the radio is he didn't sell out.

This is the only artist I'm aware of that could pack what he did into lyrics and melody. Kinda sauntered in perfect time with the growth of the soul. And not without occasional red cheeks and this beautiful thing we call life. For me, I'm not a 'fan'. I'm in agreement.

Hope he wins a Grammy. Not that it really means anything but I still think he deserves some major recognition

Never heard of this guy. Total stud.

Playing live and sounding good like this is what separates the men from the boys. Go to any main stream "country" concert and they sound horrible when they arent hiding behind the producers computer. Thank you Mr. Simpson

This dude he had on lead for this session is the Golden Boi. The CEO of Telecastin'. The Chief of Chops. I come back to these recordings when I need a little sauce to reawaken my soul and freshen my leads.

THIS SONG HAS ITS OWN SOUL THAT SITS WITH YOU AS WE LISTEN TO IT ❤️💗😘🤗

His best song ever displaying his raw vocal talent ,, and the guitar work is top shelf

that really was the "magic" that i really remember, no.#1 was SOME HOW HE GOT A ACOUSTIC SOUND TO STICK OUT ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE, no.#2 lyrically he's just phenomenal, no.#3 is some HOW, he leaves you wanting MORE, after EVERY VERSE!!!! his voice is enticing as sin, yet as good as a angel... I could go on & on!! country radio really is starving for THIS KIND OF TRADITIONAL SOUND!!! anyone agree???

Joe rogan sent me here boy where have I been this guy is what country should be definitely a new fan.

That sitting on a bar stool pondering type of country . This song is real special all the way through . Its a daily listen for me

Timeless is the only word I can find for this, timeless

One of those few who's better in live recordings than on the studio recordings. Dude is just off the charts awesome.

The first time I heard this I loved it, but the second time I really listened to the lyrics and found myself almost crying.. it’s a beautiful song.. I’m hoping to see him in March

It is dang good to hear actual COUNTRY music again. Love it.

This is such an powerful song, Sturgill has a sound of his own. Gonna set back and drink a beer and listen to some Sturgill tonight.

This motherfucker has heart and soul that the American south has lost! Bring me back to the days in the Caroljna Sunshine, catching fish, sweet kisses from a beauty then crying over a broken heart when she moved away. This is inspiration music... Conway, Johnny, George and heavens greatest would approve of this music..

Who else wishes they did like 20 (thousand) more tracks together on this set? But the 3 we have on the tube is pretty fucking fantastic. Big love to each and all.❤

THANK GOD "REVERB" is BACK!!! ... SO SICK of records sounding like the singer was SCREAMING in my ear in a carpeted room. Life is "AMBIENT".

I love any kind of music but country was not one of my favorites until I heard this man! Also love Chris Stapleton...... there is hope after all.

Man - Sturgill, it just flat doesn't get any better than this! Pure and simple you are the living resurrection of Country music - hell, most every other genre too. The world needed you and here you are.

Like a tall glass of refreshingly delectable old school sounding country music. I shut my eyes and was transported back to the late 70s early 80s where I was sitting at my grandpas table listening to AM radio and this style and sound is what I hear playing in the back ground. So glad a friend shared Sturgill Simpsons music with me this morning. I cannot seem to get enough of that old time sound.

this is probably my favorite song of all time. my life in lyrics

I appreciate this song and the tone of your voice, love your music,, come to NEW ZEALAND one day ......

Sturgill Simpson where have you been hiding? Lord I'm so in LOVE with this music! Can't believe these videos don't have a million views each...hell I've probably listened a thousand times myself. I believe I'm going to buy tickets to his Indianapolis show...or maybe a Tennessee one....maybe both. It'll be worth the drive I'm sure.

Lets hear it for Spencer Hooks, for capturing this so beautifully.

Still hope with Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers, Chris Knight, William Green, Colter Wall, Cody Jinks, jamey johnson and Whiskey Myers

I love when new musicians show their guts, step up, sing from their heart, regardless.

If you downvoted this your soul is on another planet. Get it back. Sturgil n the boys rules!

I"m a 70 year old rock, blues and jazz fan. Truthfully, I can hardly understand the words he is singing on this song. I ran into him on SNL and have re-watched those videos. I like Merle and some older country but I'm not a big fan of modern country, but I really like this guy. Glad this song is on the CD I just received and looking forward to the other two I have ordered. This guy crosses over because of sincerity and musicianship, talent and energy. This a great song.

THIS MAN SHOULD BE ON THE RADIO !!!

Thanks for letting this old man here country music, one more time, knowing it’s not dead

I just love me some sturgill Simpson..this is truest of true country..thank u so very much..from the deepest depths of my heart!

This stays on my favorites playlist. Reminds me of an old love never forgotten, but also a marriage gone stale and parted.

This Guy Is Just AWESOME.. I am Floored!

Traditional country is coming back...this will be on the radio soon.

Awesome song!!!! They need to show this dude some love

I don't see how anyone can not like this music!! like this is real shit

Doing all he can to save country music

To the 400 plus people who gave this a thumbs down smoke a joint and put in headphones and listen to it again this song is deep!!!!

I fucking love this song. Thank you Sturgill and band mates :)

The voice is what I think of as "real Country". His lyrics are just great in all his songs.
