Sturgill Simpson

On October 10, 2013, Sturgill Simpson took the stage at the KEXP studio in Seattle for an intimate live performance of 'I Never Go Around Mirrors.' At this point in his career, he had just released his debut album, 'High Top Mountain,' in June of the same year. This album was a significant stepping stone, showcasing Simpson's unique blend of country music and deeply personal storytelling. Interestingly, Simpson was still relatively under the radar, and this performance helped to solidify his reputation as a rising star in the Americana and country scenes. His raw vocal style and the heartfelt emotion embedded in his lyrics truly shine in this recording, foreshadowing the acclaim he would gain in subsequent years.
