Sunday Valley

“For the past decade or so Music City has fumbled like a mad scientist to piece together sure-fire radio hits from the worst parts of rock and country music , though there have been major financial success, the lifespan of the work is questionable...The musical limbs seem to reject each other. These hacks should take a page from South-Eastern Kentucky’s Sunday Valley. This is music that is as good-hearted as it is raucous, full of piss and vinegar as well as good will, and and as ready to love as itchin’ to fight.”

“BEST NEW OUTLAW BAND: SUNDAY VALLEY "On this year's amazing debut full-length To the Wind and on to Heaven, Sunday Valley frontman John Sturgill Simpson makes like a freight-train-speed Southern rocker with roots in the Appalachian moan of Sturgill's distant relative, Dock Boggs, and the proto-country of Charlie Poole. The Kentucky trio recently relocated to Nashville, where they've perfected a super-boogie style suggestive of The MC5 with a Bluegrass State-size case of the blues."
~Edd Hurt (Nasville Scene, No Depression) - The Nashville Scene

“I really don’t know what to say here, except that Sunday Valley was the best live band I discovered in 2011, and very possibly might be the best live band right now in all of country music. I know that may come across as a platitude, but I believe it, and to try and use words to describe their live experience almost seems insulting; you just have to experience it yourself. Sturgill Simpson is country’s version of Jimmy Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan. Mark my words, 2012 might be the year of Sunday Valley. ”
