Over the weekend, recent Scene cover boy Sturgill Simpson — whom I interviewed over breakfast biscuits on a recent rainy Monday morning — played a show in his native Kentucky. The show was at Covington's Madison Theater, where Simpson called a brief halt to his old Sunday Valley song "Sometimes Wine" when a fight broke out down in front. "Come on, y'all," says Simpson to some offscreen scufflers in the clip you can watch above. "Everybody came to have a good time, to have fun. Let's calm down. It don't matter who started it. All that matters is that it's over. ... Easy lovin', man. Easy lovin'. I didn't see what happened. One asshole at a time, and right now it's my turn." Shortly after, the singer and his crew of ringers hopped right back into "Sometimes Wine" without missing a beat.

Simpson's swift, no-nonsense response is the sort of crowd-control tactic he might have learned from Jason Isbell, who Simpson has shared a stage or two with, and who also broke up a would-be kerfuffle about a year back. Watch an uninterrupted, fight-free live rendition of "Sometimes Wine" after the jump. Hat-tip to Saving Country Music for first posting the clip.
