Retro Review: Sturgill Simpson – A Sailor’s Guide to Earth
Sturgill hooked me from the first listen as he worked psychedelic sounds and existential questions into a classic country framework. He had managed to create an album that appealed to modern pop-country fans, traditional country fans, alt-country fans, and even indie rock fans. His shows were a melange of people from the city to the suburbs to the holler as he became the vanguard of the country revival (a responsibility I’m not sure he ever really wanted or enjoyed). To say the follow-up to Metamodern Sounds was highly anticipated would be an understatement.

Before / After – Old Crow Medicine Show
Being proactive rather than reactive and being able to predict where the angle will be at different moments during a show is something that comes from experience. It's more of a feeling of what's coming rather than any sort of empirical knowledge. Sometimes, though, there are bands where every second of a the set is an action packed moment. Whether that's because they are particularly active on stage, or have amazing production, or a large number of members... there's always something amazing to point your camera at. In those moments, it's about following the energy and the flow of the set. Old Crow Medicine Show is one of those bands. Every time I have photographed them I walk away satisfied that I got some killer shots, but also knowing that I missed a ton of opportunities because there are simply too many for one person to capture.
