Watch Sturgill Simpson Play “Life Of Sin” At Austin City Limits’ Americana Music Festival (Stereogum Premiere)
Sturgill Simpson will be featured on a special episode of Austin City Limits this weekend. ACL Presents: Americana Music Festival 2014 features lots of talent both old (Loretta Lynn, Robert Plant & Patti Griffin), new (The Milk Carton Kids, St. Paul & The Broken Bones), and in-between (Jason Isbell), but it’s going to be hard for any of them to beat Simpson’s rendition of “Life Of Sin,” the song that made a believer out of Letterman last summer. Check out Simpson’s rip-roaring performance below.
