    A Sailor's Guide To Earth

    • He won one Grammy for Best Country Album
    • He's classified as alt-country (meaning not the lame stuff you hear on top 40 country stations), but his music covers many bases
    • I'm not a country music fan and this album sounds more like a cross-over artist than pure country.
    • If you are looking for the old, familiar classic country sounding Sturgill, this ain't it.
    • I'm not saying ALL modern country stinks
    • Loved it sounded it authentic country
    • I am obsessed with Sturgill, he has the authentic country sound that so many artists are missing nowadays
    • Great album - country with a different vibe.
    • So anyway, this album did not blow my socks off but isn't bad, clearly less country, men seem to be getting a bit sappy about fatherhood these days what with Hayes Carll last week and now Sturgill.
    • It Between The Lines" is a traditional country song that breaks out with a high-stepping brass section very reminiscent of 1979 era Ronnie Milsap
    • He is the best country artist today.
    • I am obsessed with Sturgill, he has the authentic country sound that so many artists are missing nowadays
    • As a person who absolutely hates the popular country music scene, this album was an absolute joy to find.
    • True classic country voice
    • If you're looking for a standard modern country album, this ain't it
    • Sturgill built his fanbase with a hard country sound
    • If you love real country then give this a listen
    • And it isn't full of the silly pop country sounds either
    • Possibly the best "country" music album of all time, maybe the best record to come out in the past 4 years
    • This album won a Grammy for the Best Country Album of 2017, yet you won't hear a single song on the radio
    • I would highly recommend him to anyone who loves country to folk and everything in-between
    • Sturgill, you're an awesome country singer, don't try to be something else.
    • I am not at all a fan of most modern country, but can see myself listening to this album a lot in the coming months if not years.
    • Sturgill's dark guitars and electronic synthesizer drive this song and turn it into an event in music that should not be missed."All Around You" is a great 1950s blues style country song while "Oh Sarah" is that country song filled with hurt, pain and joy
    • While his 2nd album explored lyrical concepts not seen in country, it still retained an authentic country sound
    • simultaneously inventive and old school country!
    • Forget album #1 - pure country, #2 Outlaw or Progressive country
    • All I can say it is one hellofa satisfying slice of retro, rootsy, southern-soul, country - mixed with an at times rock edge (in a Little Feat classic rock mode - NOT Nickelback - as one reviewer mentioned !!?!!
    • Horns, r&b, well written songs.
