Today is a lesson in disruption, sung in the tune of C.
Sturgill Simpson attended the
#CMAAwards
in 2017, but he didn’t exactly make it through security.
He never even got to the doors.
Instead, Sturgill disrupted the whole event. 👇

One of my favorite Toby Keith tales is how he jumped in to save the day for one of Merle Haggard's last shows.
It was actually this time of year—Super Bowl time.
Merle had cancelled months of shows, but needed to play this one to pay his crew.
Enter Toby Keith. 👇

I like Zach Bryan. He has lyrical & storytelling talent.
I am critical of his albums because I think he could go into the stratosphere—bigger than Morgan Wallen and maybe Taylor Swift— if he would slow down.
His albums are rushed, poorly edited and need a producer. They've also

Zach Bryan is the Caitlin Clark of country music.
Kinda yaps a lot but it’s harmless. He’s overall is a huge net positive for the genre. Other people rip on him, even some artist rip on him. All of them ignoring the fact he’s raising awareness of the entire indie country scene

I've listened to this about 5 times now. Quick thoughts:
Sturgill evolved his sound yet again. I imagine it may not resonate with his fans who didn't care for Sound & Fury, but this album is more country adjacent than S&F.
Probably my AOY. Sorry, Taylor McCall & Maggie Rogers,

65 years ago was “The Day the Music Died.”
Buddy Holly died in a plane crash.
You knew that.
But did you know a coin flip & a case of the flu kept Waylon Jennings from being on that plane?

Toby relayed the story to Brown directly, and sent this photo to Brown after the set.

Jason Isbell is among the best songwriters alive.
He’s won 4 Grammys.
“If We Were Vampires” is a Grammy winner & one of the best songs he’s ever written.
This song nearly didn’t happen because he was binging one of the most depressing reality TV shows.

Merle did a few songs, but his infected lungs were spent.

Toby came out and sang the rest of the show. Merle was performing one of his last concerts.

Jupiter’s Fairie is one of the most heartbreaking songs I’ve heard this year. Sonically it is upbeat and I actually misunderstood it when I first heard it. But mourning not only a friend’s suicide but your own inaction and resentment that will never be resolved?

I like a lot of Zach Bryan songs, but comparing his 30+ song mess of a production to the perfectly well edited and executed Country Squire or Purgatory as like calling SEC baseball the same as the minor leagues.

As they say in Vegas—"The show must go on."
Merle knew this show was going to be tough.

"Yep. And I won't need a teleprompter." - Toby
"Well, stay nearby." - Merle

Zach Bryan is an amazing songwriter and whenever he starts working with someone of equal production talent, he’s going to be HUGE.
Maybe he doesn’t want that.
