Made me re-open my mind to some genres I had closed. Be it country or hip hop.those scumbags in suits dictate the top 40 to be filled w/ poppy, safe, uncontroversial, time-pass music that doesn't do a damn thing to touch your soul.Ĭountry and hip hop have current artists who have some truths to let out and thank God we have the internet to sidestep the gatekeepers. The official music video for Call To Arms premiered on YouTube on Friday the 15th of April 2016. I realized the CORPORATE industry pushes schlock and buries message music. Call To Arms by Sturgill Simpson is a song from the album A Sailors Guide to Earth and was released in 2016. Verse 1 Basic was just like papaw says 'Keep your mouth shut and youll be fine' Just another enlisted egg In the bowl for Uncle Sams beater When you get to Dam Neck Hear a voice in your head.
Man, I longed for the days where country/bluegrass music didn't conform to anybody's expectations and had the messaging of folk but with a country sound w/ slide guitars, violins, twang, drawl, and accessible lyrics.īut a few artists, Sturgill being on top, made me revisit the genre. As of August 2017, he has released three albums as a solo artist. John Sturgill Simpson (born June 8, 1978) is an American country music and roots rock singer-songwriter. Man, I liked it better when my rappers were *drug dealers* and not *drug users*, for God's sake STOP TAKING XANAX. Lyrics to Call To Arms by Sturgill Simpson from the A Sailors Guide to Earth album - including song video, artist biography, translations and more Login. New *country*, in my _mistaken_ impression, just seemed like really bad rap music with the same topics and monotonous melodies singing:Ī) boozy love songs about their pick up truck orī) jingoistic, unquestioned and unscrutinized loyalty to hokey Americana symbolism just like the millionth unrelatable *hip hop* songs that are either:Ī) club bangers pouring champagne on bitches orī) some seriously unlistenable Abu Ghraib torture tune with some zonked out dude whose "song" sounds like the verbal fog of a guy ODing on cough syrup.
Call to Arms off Sturgills new album - A Sailors Guide To Earth.
I had given up on country-figurin' all the greats like Cash, Wheeler, Guthrie (more folk, I know), Willie, Dolly, etc. Sturgill Simpson, Atlantic Records, Cool Lyrics, Kinds Of Music, Music Publishing. I didn't know country still had that in their bag.
