There's some exceptions. If anybody here isn't aware of his stuff, I definitely suggest looking into Sturgill Simpson. He's by far my favourite modern country artist.

Yes, he is pretty great. I'm not sure why, but there is this small part of me that feels he is doing everything he can to not be at all formulaic. Like that is HIS formula. I'm not sure if that makes sense?

Either way, he has some great songs; and I feel, some great surprises in some of them. In Bloom really caught me off guard. lol But his music is somehow all over the place; yet all sounds like him. For me, that would be hard to define and pull off; but it's really impressive. smile

He must be doing something right. He gets plenty of plays.
