Sturgill Simpson just released 'The Ballad of Dood and Juanita," which many people believe could be his final album as a solo artist. In today's video, I look at his new album, his impact on country music, and the Appalachian scene that he helped to build into what is today -- which includes artists like Tyler Childers, Sierra Ferrell, Charles Wesley Godwin, Cole Chaney, Kelsey Waldon, Logan Halstead, and so many more. Enjoy it!

And I appreciate sturgill not getting over complicated with the story but still letting his fantastic song writing shine through. As a proud Kentuckian who grew up on bluegrass music, I love how much bluegrass has started seeping into country. I really think Tyler Childers mixes them best. I’d heard of most of the folks you called out in the end but went on and got the rest of their music. Really enjoyed it, thanks.

The second half of this video is possibly the most important part. Tyler, Kelsey, Charles, Ian Noe, etc have brought true country music back with a vengeance.

She went to the same school as Childers. Her family has lived these stories. Thank you for this video, Grady.

Great video, Grady. I've been thinking about the Texas vs. Appalachian debate lately. I've recently started listening to Texas country radio via online streaming, and one of the things that I've been surprised by is that Texas/Red Dirt radio might play Tyler Childers, Flatland Calvary, and Austin Meade back to back. They don't seem to make the Texas/Appalachian distinction; they just play good, non-corporate country. I like that approach. I'm just excited that we have two areas producing quality country.

You take that back right now. I DON’T CARE IF IT’S TRUE.

Yeahh he’s got a pretentious gatekeep-y attitude about him that I don’t like. He’s got a couple good songs though.

@dasfette Maybe the reason Sturgill has such a "pretentious" view of mainstream country is because the Nashville establishment refuses to recognize him unless they abosuletly have to. Sturgill is a million times better than anything on mainstream country radio today but Nashville has had a long history of playing it safe and as a result disregarding country musics greatest arists in favor of bland safety. Sturgill Simpson is just one example of a great artists lack of recognition by country musics real institution of gate keeping, which is to be found in Nashville no doubt.

For so long I felt like the new music scene or lack of, was really lacking true talent,honesty and soul. Then a few came on the scene and revived music once again. Sturgill Simpson Tyler Childers Colter wall Billy strings

Great video, I always appreciate how much music you recommend in you breakdowns. I don’t know if you’ve heard of them but the Lost Dog String Band is very good and in a similar honest, hard knocks, country vein. I’d recommend ballad of a broken man, and Sorry for the Things. Hope you like them!

@elliott5184 2 года назад

You forgot Stapleton. He’s from Kentucky. He’s one of the only mainstream artists that music and morals still feel very underground.

Stapelton? Nope...sell out studio voice. Contrived, predictable and Luke Bryan "soldier". Did I mention boring?

Don't listen to solo Stapleton, listen to the Steeldrivers.

I honestly thought I would never hear a better western album then western swing and waltzes by Colter Wall. but this is by far better. Sturgil out did himself on this one. It actually gave me chills listening to the full thing. He knows how to immerse you in the story, and make you feel like your riding next to Dood along his journey. i loved every second of it. i hope other artist take inspiration from this album, and make their own story. 10 out of 10.

I don’t think Sturgill is going anywhere. If you watch him perform live, he absolutely loves the stage and the music itself. He’d be lost without it. He’ll come up with another project of sorts and blow us all away.
