    Don't like either overall. Neon Moon is an awesome song though.

    Really pumped Chris Stapleton won so much. May have been discussed, but in Miranda's post-show interview she was wearing a Chris Stapleton shirt. She's apparently a big fan because she was at his show with Jason Isbell last week

    Luke Bryan also gave him a shoutout in his speech for Entertainer of the Year, apparently.

    She gave him a shoutout during her award speech. Basically said "thanks, needed this it's been a rough year. Justin and Chris, thanks so much. I'm gonna go home and practice". And she had his t-shirt on too

    Sturgill signed with Atlantic because they gave him full creative control of his music. There are some labels that want to put out good music. It's just not any of the big 4

    I was at a Sturgill show awhile back. We meet a guy there in maybe mid-40s that was as big of a Sturgill supporter you could imagine...followed him everywhere since Sunday Valley, said he was taking a vacation to go watch him play down at Cain's Ballroom yada yada. Some broad beside us is talking about Nashville and going on and on. The guy who had followed Sturgill all over USA pipes up and goes "Fuck you and Fuck Nashville. The Nashville music scene is fucking terrible". I got a good chuckle and the bitch shut up.

    I'd rather live on the streets in California than live in a mansion in Alabama. Fortunately for me I live in one of the most affluent cities in California. So fuck the south. Fuck country music. And fuck all of you inbred dumb fucks.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he signed with Atlantic's NY division to avoid the Nashville label scene. I know that he is recording his new album in Nashville but I don't think it's their "country" label that he's under.

    I still don't know what he was doing at the CMA's. I did think it was funny that Brad P took a joking shot at him saying he is playing to the young demographic.

    They're pretty talented. Most of their covers are too pop-oriented for my taste, but they can really sing.

    I will admit, the main reason I said that was I had never heard one song of Chris Stapleton (Just doesn't get played on radio here?) After Listening to him I agree that he is a talent, does suprise me though, seems like it was a little early for all the awards.

    Stapleton opened up for Eric Church this summer on his tour, and he definitely stole the show at least in Lincoln. Have really enjoyed listening to his stuff ever since then. Also, I'm pretty sure that's his wife that sings with him as well.
