Sturgill Simpson Recruits Members of the Dap-Kings for “All Around You” at the Grammys
While we’ve told you plenty about Sturgill Simpson’s irreverence towards the Grammys, that doesn’t mean he didn’t put 10,000% into his performance last night as the country star recruited members of the Dap-Kings (the late Sharon Jones’ band) for a performance of his A Sailor’s Guide to Earth tune “All Around You.”
The performance, which is spirited in its own right, was preceded by an introduction from Dwight Yoakam, who mentioned the late Jones before introducing Simpson with the Dap-Kings. She was also honored during the In Memoriam segment along with fellow late musical icons such as Prince, David Bowie, Merle Haggard, Leonard Cohen and others.
