It wasn't impossible to not do a country artist when it came to Kentucky.
The reality was, it came down to two choices for me. Sturgill Simpson was my first choice here - he's an innovator in the world of country, making music that teeters on rock fusion, while still sounding fresh and at the same time classic.
This was his first video, recorded in 2013 as a single from his debut album, High Top Mountain, which is excellent. There are a lot of trains in this video, needless to say.
All these years later, he still performs this early song, like he did in 2024....
...but perhaps his best-known performance of the song happened in 2016, at Farm Aid.
