I recently started listening to some Sturgill Simpson and loved hearing that country sound that Waylon and Willie pioneered being carried forward into the 21st century. This fit right in with that and I really loved it!

Competently done bluegrass style music. I'd say it doesn't sound all the special but I'd welcome more of this music on the list. But this ultimately doesn't do it for me. My personal rating: 3/5 My rating relative to the list: 3.5/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No
