What a win for Sturgill Simpson. In an era where streaming music isn’t just the norm but ultimately the standard for consuming music, having a physical-only release is incredibly risky.

It’s finally here. As a life-long baseball fan, Opening Day is easily one of my favorite days of the year. Though my Chicago White Sox are primed to finish in last place yet again this season (they’re improving, I swear), I couldn’t be happier to be able to sit down every night and watch them try to piece together a respectable season for the first time in half a decade.
