You Can Have the Crown - Sturgill Simpson - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Sturgill Simpson announced himself very quickly as one of the most interesting and unique singer-songwriters in the country music genre. Already in his debut album High Top Mountain, you can hear a songwriter that is ambitious and idiosyncratic. Released in 2013 and recorded by renowned country music producer Dave Cobb, the album received favorable comparisons to the work of Waylon Jennings. The rollicking upbeat number “You Can Have the Crown” is one of the album’s highlights, bringing an almost rockabilly attitude to this pedal-steel-laden rocker. The song exhibits a tongue-in-cheek and playful tone, with lyrics about a down-on-his-luck protagonist who outlines all the hardships he’s enduring, concluding that he needs to either get a record deal or rob a bank in order to get by. The song, and accompanying album, received a renewed spike of interest after the success of Sturgill Simpson’s next two albums.
