Sturgill Simpson, aka Johnny Blue Skies, continued his trek through Europe on Saturday with a stop at Alexela Kontserdimaja in Tallinn, Estonia.
The Kentucky-born country star and his band performed a mix of material from his solo albums, including his most recent release, Passage du Desire, for which he adopted the name Johnny Blue Skies. They also played a wide range of covers, like the Allman Brothers Band‘s “Midnight Rider”, Little Feat‘s “Spanish Moon”, Led Zeppelin‘s “Living Loving Maid (She’s Just a Woman)”, and, perhaps the most surprising pick, Eddie Murphy‘s “Party All the Time”, which has been in the rotation since its debut earlier this month in Stockholm, Sweden.
