Sturgill, you have taken me back to 1955, when my family took us kids to a Hillbilly park near St. Louis, where we saw Lefty Fizzell sing this song. It is a good memory.
It was Johnny Rion's Hillbilly park, at the Chain of Rocks bridge. You paid one fee to get into the park, then you could go from one of about 5 or 6 stages around the park to hear vaious artists perform. It was great!
Just got back from Nashville. All I heard on Broadway street was pop country (top 40s). I then went to the country music HOF and same sad story, Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean stuff everywhere. Sturgill nowhere to be found or heard. What a crying shame. Thank God for Sturgill sticking to the roots of country music and giving us something we love to hear.
ryannnnnnnnn maybe they'll open their eyes when he snags album of the year with practically no radio play. Don't see ANY other "country" artist doing what he's doing.
They have sturgill and jamey johnson in the CMHOF now. I was just there last week. However, i find it ridiculous that they include florida georgia line and kane brown in the same room.
THANK GOD FOR KENTUCKY, they say all we got is bourbon, women, & basketball, they just hate ADMITTING IN NASHVILLE THAT WE GOT MUCH MUCH MORE!!!!!! God bless KENTUCKY!!!!!!!!!!
Alot of country music greats are from ky!! Keith whitley john Michael Montgomery and Montgomery gentry and bill monroe and dillion caramichel and Tyler childers and kevin skinner marty brown dwight yokam sturgill simpson and Chris stapleton Tyler booth Loretta lynch pasty Cline just a few #kyproud #easternkyboy
Charles Willis i prefer the steel myself. and gene watsons version along with daryle singletarys. i hear all this talk about sturgill simpson and real country being in the same sentence. as a traditional country music fanatic. i just dont hear it. if u havent heard daryles and genes version. check it out. that to me is country music.
If this is not real country music I guess you are right, Sturgill makes Covers his own and does not perform the same old hum drum versions that's been done a hundred times. This is also a live performance with no studio tricks!
Probably listened to this fifty times since it was published. Still a heart punch. Love ya, Stu. Thanks for everything. Your future is brighter than your past. Even your recent glorious past. Pretty amazing. God bless you.
A country boy will survive!! Sturgill Simpson has no idea just how badass of a real country music musician he is and how many hours i have spent listening to and TRYIN to sing his music. An amazing individual to watch and listen to. I could only imagine hangin out with him. So PLEASE COME TO 181 Gilreath Way DAHLONEGA, GA 30533 and play all us country folk some real music!! I promise the folks around here would make u right at home!!
Far and away my favorite country singer. One day this guy popped up on my feed and I've been sold since. Been about two years now since I first heard him, and nothing has compared to his music.
I don't know where you came from hoss. Not sure where you're goin. I do know you're a breathe of fresh air. You've restored my faith in the younger generation. Who gives a shit about how much mud is on your tires?
This is the sound I grew up with. I love the music, makes me feel young again. I enjoy all of Sturgill Simpson music he puts alot of effort towards any genre he does and he does a great job with great composure and I think his rendition of this song is top-notch
Such an incredible artist!! I miss hearing more of his masterpieces! Stu, please come back?! Our world needs you and your outstanding musical talent back to save real country music!
Randy Elliott your right,, I read that article in a waiting room... Bout a year later I was asked for the first time if I know of jinks, Whitey and or sturgill or Isabel.. You mean the guys i bought multiples of records from to give em away trying to open ppls eyes.. The same music you hear anytime you get in my truck? Those guys!?! Na... Merle kicked those doors open and in strut sturgill, and he brought some pals along
Been told my hearing is almost perfect and will not apologize for saying this guy does absolutely nothing for me. Been listening to country before a lot of you were born.
Sturgill fuckin' kills it on this track ! This is the track that got me hooked on him. Absolutely fuckin' Killer !!! God Bless Sturgill & Country Music

Sturgill Simson is the real fucking deal today......Godamned mighty fine! Outstanding!
Beautiful song and better rendition. Thank you Sturgill. Please keeping making music. We need it to keep our world on it's Axis. Otherwise evil will prevail and we are toast!
Modern country has reminded me of rap/hip-hop since about the late 80's. Over produced, superficial garbage with high school lyrics. As such, I've never liked any country (except for pickers) in decades. Sturgill and his band...man, the REAL DEAL. Even amongst the handful out there marketed as "real"...this guy is just galaxies beyond. He sounds and acts honest and believable when he "performs". The vibe and tones from the band are just as authentic and raw as dirt. This has to be some of the best country EVER produce! IMHO
Absolutely... Just when you think there's no way a better version of the song could be recorded here comes sturgill and the band with one hell of a rendition. Not taking anything from lefty and Whitley but damn. That chorus starts up and that feeling hell I could just get up and kick holes in the drywall and head to that's cunts house and cry in front of her new husband... Hahaha hell of a band!
So, I've listened to almost every version from Lefty Frizzell , Keith, Daryl, Merle, George, Willie, Gene Watson to the guys in the stairwell and I like this the best. Get after me! This is the performance that got me hooked on SS.
Mil,gracias Simpson,y su agrupación,por entonar esta melodía,de esta forma tan preciosa y con esa sabor original de country MÚSIC y ustedes son jóvenes y sigan cantando con ese sabor
This man reminded me some years ago that I was a a musician we will always have the rainbow bistro in Ottawa Ontario Canada uncle sturg ol' lefty I'm sure is proud...bless up
Sturgill...is the real deal. How I miss this sound...that made country...country. Pop country...is dead. As it should be. Hopefully...this outlaw sound...is back to stay.
I can't stand to see A good man go to waste One who never combs his hair Or shaves his face A man who leans on wine Over love that's told a lie Oh, it tears me up to see A grown man cry So I never go around mirrors I can't stand to see me Without you by my side No, I never go around mirrors Because I gotta heartache to hide I can't stand to be Where heartaches hang around It's so easy for the blues to get me down To see a grown man crawl Is more than I can stand And I look into the eyes of half a man So I don't go around mirrors I can't stand to see Me without you by my side No, I never go around mirrors Because I gotta heartache to hide And it tears me up to see A grown man cry Writer(s): SANGER SHAFER, LEFTY FRIZZELL
Kentucky's BEST. Now that's real country music.
Sturgill, you have taken me back to 1955, when my family took us kids to a Hillbilly park near St. Louis, where we saw Lefty Fizzell sing this song. It is a good memory.
It was Johnny Rion's Hillbilly park, at the Chain of Rocks bridge. You paid one fee to get into the park, then you could go from one of about 5 or 6 stages around the park to hear vaious artists perform. It was great!
@victoredwards0530 Good times, WOW!
Hey kids this is real country. Get em Sturgil
Sturgell’s performances during these years was the best! He’s better than anybody.
I really hope he starts touring and making music again. It's just too good
Man he was born to sing a country song. Kentucky's finest. Listening from Louisville. He kicks ass. And that band is killer also.
Sturgill is a man with a deep, deep soul, whose not afraid to show it. Bless him and his talent which he willingly shares with us.
All the respect to Lefty Frizzell for this gem but Sturgill just kills this it has to be the best version I have ever heard .
I love this song. It comes to my head every time i shave my face. Never heard Sturgill sing it until now. I think Lefty and Keith would approve.
I would love to see him live at a bar somewhere in the middle of no where. What a beautiful man, what a voice, what a soul. 👌🏼
Sturgill Simpson is the greatest musician to ever grace this universe.
Props to the lead guitarist, especially at 3:42. Gave me an eargasm.
Just got back from Nashville. All I heard on Broadway street was pop country (top 40s). I then went to the country music HOF and same sad story, Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean stuff everywhere. Sturgill nowhere to be found or heard. What a crying shame. Thank God for Sturgill sticking to the roots of country music and giving us something we love to hear.
I was at the HOF in June and they had a huge display of Blake Shelton's clothes on display.
ryannnnnnnnn maybe they'll open their eyes when he snags album of the year with practically no radio play. Don't see ANY other "country" artist doing what he's doing.
They have sturgill and jamey johnson in the CMHOF now. I was just there last week. However, i find it ridiculous that they include florida georgia line and kane brown in the same room.
just like the hero's that he is following..... he bucks the country "protocol" i believe he says fuck em
You got that RIGHT
Sturgill is a talented guy with an authentic voice and sound....Really diggin Tyler Childers as well. Ky Proud!
Sturgil is the man
Don’t forget the mighty Justin Wells and there’s Ian Noe
I like them both, by my girl likes Tyler’s voice, so I listen to that more. I like Sturgill more.
Athletically mumbly !
Tyler Childers will never fit in the same category as The Man Sturgill
THANK GOD FOR KENTUCKY, they say all we got is bourbon, women, & basketball, they just hate ADMITTING IN NASHVILLE THAT WE GOT MUCH MUCH MORE!!!!!! God bless KENTUCKY!!!!!!!!!!
Johnny Ballinger Bourbon and horses are all KY has. Everything else is a joke
Alot of country music greats are from ky!! Keith whitley john Michael Montgomery and Montgomery gentry and bill monroe and dillion caramichel and Tyler childers and kevin skinner marty brown dwight yokam sturgill simpson and Chris stapleton Tyler booth Loretta lynch pasty Cline just a few #kyproud #easternkyboy
You forgot the Moonshine
Y’all ain’t even got shoes 😂
Robert White Loretta Lynch?
At 3:03 mark he and the rest of the band goes full on GOD mode
Right on, they explode right there
This is the kind of country sound I grew up on, the real shit that touches your soul
A TRUE COUNTRY REBEL GOTTA LOVE STURGILL
This lineup was like catching lightening in a bottle. Thank God I got to seem them play during the Metamodern tour!!
Thank God for Sturgill Simpson!!
can't stand some of the crap they call country now... he saved it!
...and Lefty.
and Gene
copy that
Mr. Keith Whitley
I seriously believe this is the best country song and performance I have ever heard.
Radio stations won't know what to do with this guy. He is really the best I have heard in a long time!
he's playing in a stations studio in Seattle :)
RockyMountainRose 3)
The lead guitar player killed it! I thought it was a steel guitar until the camera showed him with the Esquire and slide.
Charles Willis i prefer the steel myself. and gene watsons version along with daryle singletarys. i hear all this talk about sturgill simpson and real country being in the same sentence. as a traditional country music fanatic. i just dont hear it. if u havent heard daryles and genes version. check it out. that to me is country music.
You're right iceman62509. Gene Watson's version is the best of all i've heard along with Daryle Singletary and Keith Whitley.
iceman62509 disagree 100%!
c8gofor1 you sir dont know traditional country music. aka real country music
If this is not real country music I guess you are right, Sturgill makes Covers his own and does not perform the same old hum drum versions that's been done a hundred times. This is also a live performance with no studio tricks!
Probably listened to this fifty times since it was published. Still a heart punch. Love ya, Stu. Thanks for everything. Your future is brighter than your past. Even your recent glorious past. Pretty amazing. God bless you.
Absolutely masterful! Best version of this song I've ever heard. And that slide Telecaster brings a smile to my face.
That man on that Fender can make it talk!
That tele could tell some tales
A country boy will survive!!
Sturgill Simpson has no idea just how badass of a real country music musician he
is and how many hours i have spent listening to and TRYIN to sing his music. An amazing individual to watch and listen to. I could only imagine hangin out with him. So PLEASE COME TO 181 Gilreath Way DAHLONEGA, GA 30533 and play all us country folk some real music!! I promise the folks around here would make u right at home!!
I enjoy singing his music day after day
The great ones do it best live. Sturgill is uncomparable. Saw him at the Legendary Horseshoe in T.O. best show of my life.
Far and away my favorite country singer. One day this guy popped up on my feed and I've been sold since. Been about two years now since I first heard him, and nothing has compared to his music.
Everything he touches is gold. It’s very rare, this type of raw talent.
I don't know where you came from hoss. Not sure where you're goin.
I do know you're a breathe of fresh air. You've restored my faith in the younger generation.
Who gives a shit about how much mud is on your tires?
Proud to say he came from my hometown :)
The new waylon jennings
Charles Meadows My parents are from there.
Sing along
He's from KY. Excellent Singer Songwriter.
I love the sound of real country.. I will see him in Amsterdam in September with my youngest son. It will be amazing memories!
This is the sound I grew up with. I love the music, makes me feel young again. I enjoy all of Sturgill Simpson music he puts alot of effort towards any genre he does and he does a great job with great composure and I think his rendition of this song is top-notch
Just said goodbye forever to my BROTHER in law. This is for you Dave ❤
best country band ive heard in a long time, that guitar solo was unreal, and this is the way country music should sound .
Such an incredible artist!! I miss hearing more of his masterpieces! Stu, please come back?! Our world needs you and your outstanding musical talent back to save real country music!
The best singer and performer in country music..and it isn’t really close
best song Ive heard in quite a while. Pure country voice, is what SS has. Great song.
its an old lefty frizell tune, so not sturgills, but their arrangement and delivery of it was superb
This has to be the best version of this song I've ever heard. Sturgill really kicks it in towards the end. Love this Kentucky Boy !!!
I am so impressed with this guy! Not a cookie cutter copycat " performer" thank God for singer/songwriters coming along!
His voice touches my soul. ❤️
Me too, me too ❤
Sturgill Simpson always starts my DAY!! Amazing guitar. I don't need coffee just real country!
Thank You Merle Haggard for giving a shout out to Sturgill Simpson, in a recent interview ,when asked who he listens to these days.
Randy Elliott your right,, I read that article in a waiting room... Bout a year later I was asked for the first time if I know of jinks, Whitey and or sturgill or Isabel.. You mean the guys i bought multiples of records from to give em away trying to open ppls eyes.. The same music you hear anytime you get in my truck? Those guys!?! Na... Merle kicked those doors open and in strut sturgill, and he brought some pals along
Randy Elliott love this guy!
God bless Merle
merle always knew who was authentic and who wasn't.
@@ek19106 He sure tried his Ass Off to Make God damn sure his Real life Music has one hell of a Chance in this Hell to Stay Alive and well !!
Been told my hearing is almost perfect and will not apologize for saying this guy does absolutely nothing for me. Been listening to country before a lot of you were born.
I love love love his music, but this is my favorite! ❤

Lefty would be proud to know people are still singing his songs. Thats Country son!!

Another Fantastic Cover of a favorite Country song! I've been listening to this one for the past few months and love it more each day!
This is what country music is supposed to sound like thanks
This is peak Sturgill, to me.
Agree
Sturgill Simpson's the best damn thing to come along in Country music for quite some time, and thank the good Lord for that!
He's damn sure doing this song some justice. Mirrors...Broken down Dreams, Tears and I never go around Mirrors.
This might be the 🐐 Country cover of all time. And I’m being completely serious.
I can't get over how awesome he is!!! full package.
Sturgill fuckin' kills it on this track ! This is the track that got me hooked on him. Absolutely fuckin' Killer !!! God Bless Sturgill & Country Music
Sturgill Simson is the real fucking deal today......Godamned mighty fine! Outstanding!
One in 100 billion, thank you for blessings us with this voice of Sturgill.
Awesome! His band, voice and lyrics blow me away.
Beautiful song and better rendition. Thank you Sturgill. Please keeping making music. We need it to keep our world on it's Axis. Otherwise evil will prevail and we are toast!
Never honestly seen any music without any dislikes. You ain't here unless you want to be I guess. These guys are amazing!
Modern country has reminded me of rap/hip-hop since about the late 80's. Over produced, superficial garbage with high school lyrics. As such, I've never liked any country (except for pickers) in decades. Sturgill and his band...man, the REAL DEAL. Even amongst the handful out there marketed as "real"...this guy is just galaxies beyond. He sounds and acts honest and believable when he "performs". The vibe and tones from the band are just as authentic and raw as dirt. This has to be some of the best country EVER produce! IMHO
Just saw Sturgill at The Fox in Detroit. Him, drummer, bass player, and keys, 1 mic. Incredible show.
Love them Country cryin songs.Dad was from N.W. Missouri, raised me on Hank and Meryl.Thanks Dad.
God damn I wasn't expecting that
I hope he comes back to country and stays away from drugs. He's one of a kind
This is one of my FAVORITES. He can flat out sing this song.
New to the game here but my goodness do I love this guy.
A great cover of a great Lefty Frizzell song!.....spot on Sturgill!
The tele player playing those pedal steel guitar licks....well done sir!
Badass backing band too btw..
Top tier shit right here
This version of "Mirrors" is great in my humble opinion. I watch this video every night before I go to sleep.
1:37 the guitar solo is amazing!
Heard him do this in Lexington and Louisville.
Lefty and Keith Whitley would approve
Mark Creech Great analogy. I loved KW
Absolutely... Just when you think there's no way a better version of the song could be recorded here comes sturgill and the band with one hell of a rendition. Not taking anything from lefty and Whitley but damn. That chorus starts up and that feeling hell I could just get up and kick holes in the drywall and head to that's cunts house and cry in front of her new husband... Hahaha hell of a band!
I really highly doubt it!!
Keith Whitley is who I was sure thinking of too
Daryl Singletary version is great too.
I’m from Kentucky too but I don’t think anyone dang this song better than Darlye Singletary RIP 🙏🏼
The real deal. Last of a dying breed
This song just described my life
Such a smooth classic.. Thanks for keeping it smooth and amazing!
what a awesome job.sounds like it comes from the heart keep it up.real country music about time
Please Sturgill don't stop playing this kind of music I noticed you've been going off in different direction... come back home
I love this version. He did an amazing job
Where has this guy been..and why am I just now hearing of him?! WOW!!! Love this!
Another Great talent to come outta the Bluegrass state. God bless Kentucky!
So, I've listened to almost every version from Lefty Frizzell , Keith, Daryl, Merle, George, Willie, Gene Watson to the guys in the stairwell and I like this the best. Get after me!
This is the performance that got me hooked on SS.
Nobody touches Lefty Frizzell on this one. But Keith Whitley & Sturgill are tied for 2nd
Apparently you don't like the words then because you can't understand a damn thing he's singing !
@@soundguy5813 I understand every word.
Great cover
What a great mix of a superior style and a classic song!
Many artists have recorded this song but nobody does it better ! I wish he would release a recording of this version of the song to purchase.
That guitar player 😍
yes, I can listen to country again. this is what its suppose to sound like.
Mil,gracias Simpson,y su agrupación,por entonar esta melodía,de esta forma tan preciosa y con esa sabor original de country MÚSIC y ustedes son jóvenes y sigan cantando con ese sabor
God Bless Sturgill Simpson... and his music. ✌
Lefty, Merle, Keith, George and Daryle would be proud of this cover !!! Keep it real Sturgill!!!
Nashville can keep their country rap, pretty boy BS!
Goddamn this never gets old.
I’ve blown more than one set of speakers with this one.
country music born again!!!!!! get it ole son!!!!!!!!!#
thanks for doing this song it meant so much to me .. keep on jammin brother
This man reminded me some years ago that I was a a musician we will always have the rainbow bistro in Ottawa Ontario Canada uncle sturg ol' lefty I'm sure is proud...bless up
Sturgill . He hugs you and slaps you at the same time. Thank God we got him.
Sturgill...is the real deal. How I miss this sound...that made country...country. Pop country...is dead. As it should be. Hopefully...this outlaw sound...is back to stay.
I can't stand to see
A good man go to waste
One who never combs his hair
Or shaves his face
A man who leans on wine
Over love that's told a lie
Oh, it tears me up to see
A grown man cry
So I never go around mirrors
I can't stand to see me
Without you by my side
No, I never go around mirrors
Because I gotta heartache to hide
I can't stand to be
Where heartaches hang around
It's so easy for the blues to get me down
To see a grown man crawl
Is more than I can stand
And I look into the eyes of half a man
So I don't go around mirrors
I can't stand to see
Me without you by my side
No, I never go around mirrors
Because I gotta heartache to hide
And it tears me up to see
A grown man cry
