Wonder how folks that hate Father John Misty but enjoy Sturgill will feel about Johnny Blue Skies?

On my third pass of the new album. There’s no reason beyond “only making five records” that this couldn’t have been a Sturgill album. It’s slick but it’s still him. He wails. He talks about the struggles of being famous and being a dad and just wanting to be a normal guy. It’s got an 80s Waylon (ironically Milsap, too) vibe.
 
Great article. What an interesting guy he is whatever he chooses to call himself.

Sturgill Simpson Walked Away From Music. Johnny Blue Skies Is Just Getting Started

Three years ago, the Kentucky-born singer-songwriter was modern country's reigning psychedelic outlaw. Then a serious injury robbed him of his voice and threw him into a wrenching identity crisis. Now he's back, with a new perspective informed by off-the-grid time in Paris and Thailand, a superb...

Man seeing that first picture of him smiling in the doorway in France made me realize what’s really different about this new album, he sounds happy.
 
This would be amazing by I ain't got that kind of money.

I got a refund on that after chatting with him a bit about it. It's not even listed on Bandcamp anymore, and don't see any in Discogs.

Yeah he sent an apology note in like 2013 right before he went to jail with some download links and said he spent all the vinyl money on other things. He was obviously in a bad spot back then and I’m happy to see him rehabilitated and doing good things but I can’t bring myself to preorder anything from the guy again

I guess I'll put this here...
I was reading Bill Schnee's book, Chairman at the Board, and he mentioned an album Mark Knopfler made in 1990 with a project called Notting Hillbillies.
I steamed the album Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time and liked it quite a bit.
Here's track one


@MyWifeHatesTrain - do you know of this?

It rings a bell, I’ll give it a listen.
