Sturgill Simpson is one of those rare talents that can hold any size crowd in the palm of his hand.
Back in 2015, Simpson was performing at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium when he busted out a cover of Roy Orbison’s “Crying” when a couple of drunk fools put a halt to the show.
Country Stars Not Taking Any Sh*t From Drunk Fighting Fans
“How the fuck can you guys possibly be thinking about fighting when we’re singing this song!?”
** crowd erupts **
** Sturgill stare-down from hell **
“HEY HEY! F*CK THAT. NOW YOU’RE F*CKING WITH MY TIME. GET ‘EM ALL OUT!”
Sturg doesn’t seem like the type of guy you want to piss off. In the end, he delivered a great cover, even with the interruption.
Watch it go down.
And the original, in 1965.
