He belongs to no genre. He is his everything. Soul, country, Gospel, Jazz, whatever. One of the best singers around today. Would love to see him in concert someday. ❤️
Country music itself started is a fusion of bluegrass and blues and he's really good at both. Honestly if not for blues we wouldn't have country or rock.
I'm both a viola player and a guitarist. As someone who is deeply engrained with a love of strings this hits every box on the list. The fact that it's Stapleton makes it 100x better
I just saw him perform this song at the Grammys and as an R&B fan, I love this guy. This song is straight blues and the man has soul. I think music has the ability erase all the lines we draw between each other. We sure do need more of it now.
His live performance is better than the studio recording. This man has more talent in his little finger than most entertainers have in their entire bodies.
The whole song is genius from the lyrics to his voice to the instrumentation to the arrangement. Every aspect is perfect. Maybe the best song I’ve heard in my 75 years.
I can’t believe this is a live performance… so much talent.. so much soul… so much emotions. I’m breath taken away by the beautiful guitar solo. Hats off to you Sir!
Not begging her to stay . He's Asking her how and why she's so none appreciative of his obvious love for her. But / Why - She has not any for him !!?? Also - HOW / She Can She act so hard hearted to him a man. / Who's given his heart And everything he could. One to get nothing or love in return.🥀🥀 ❤️🩹💔🥀🥀😥...
From Valedictorian of his HS class to a scholarship at Vanderbilt to thrilling millions who’ve heard him perform. One does not simply listen to Chris Stapleton, you FEEL it in your soul. Thank you God for gifting us with this massive talent. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
He did a song with HER, Hold On on CMA that was awesome. Nothing Else Matters, I was wrong, Fire Away, some of my favorites. He did several songs with Justin Timberlake Saying Something, Drink You Away. Tennesse Whiskey . Nobody to Blame more country and he did Purple Rain by Prince.
I’d venture to add rock to that category. I’m sitting at a Waffle House (no joke) and this song came on.. I immediately came here to give it the “live” test.. Phenomenal song, Phenomenal performance! 🎤🎼🔥
If anyone has seen Chris Stapleton live or even viewed his performances during award shows, it’s unreal. The one and only artist in any genre that somehow sounds better live. He is by far, without a doubt in a league of his own. I cannot think of any vocalist with such range and so effortless.
Every time Chris Stapleton takes the stage you can always count on an unforgettable performance. Every song has a feel to it and suddenly your mixed in your own feelings it is magical.
There are great musicians that have come in my lifetime of many years but, Chris Stapleton is just a cut above from all the rest with his Unique Style and sound that just penetrates your soul. Like the great Willie Nelsen he can make his guitar sing and dance with the unique way he plays. His voice gives you part County, Rock, and Blues and adds wonderment of who this man really is and, where he came from.The first time I seen him on video I saw this long haired guy with a cowboy hat and I immediately thought Country then he played and sang and he just floored me. I just watched him on U tube with John Meyer this morning and John was saying that he ask Chris what he wanted to sing with him and he said well we could sing one of yours or, one of mine or, we could just write one and, they did in one day Its called "JUST REMEMBERED THAT I Didn't CARE"and man was that beautiful check it out! He's so multi-talented he can sing with anyone and it will be a hit.You have your County Western, Country Rock, Rock and Roll, Heavy Metal, POP And, the Blues and along came Chris Stapleton the man that will be known for creating "Country Blues".It is my last wish to be able to see this man perform in person I truley believe he is the greatest thing that came along in a very long time we needed something fresh and totally new.Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Chris is on an entire level of his own. This has a "singing this song for you", "it's a man world", "the thrill is gone" type feel to it. A masterpiece
@@shakitathompson4680 Hey Family, thank you. As a black man that lives music, between him and Luke Combs and a few others...they have soul. I ride with it. Getting strange looks but my thing is embrace it. Take care Sis.
Hands down best musician ever!!!! And I'm sorry to those who dont agree this man is not country he is pure Chris Stapleton the man is literally in a class of his own. July cant come fast enough
When I say country I do not mean his singing, I mean he is country. He is from the hills, he is a country boy. He is ours, you can't have him. You can listen to him but he will forever be a country boy.
@@joshperkins2255 EXCEPT YOU CAN'T REMOVE COUNTRY. CHRIS HAS WRITTEN COUNTRY SONGS THAT HAVE BEEN RECORDED BY MOST OF NASHVILLE'S COUNTRY STARS SINCE 2001 INCLUDING 6 #1'S ALONG WITH MULTIPLE TOP 10'S & MANY OTHER CHARTED COUNTRY SONGS AMONG THE CLOSE TO 200 SONGS THAT COUNTRY'S FINEST HAVE RECORDED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS (LONG BEFORE CHRIS HAS BECOME A SUPERSTAR RECORDING ARTIST IN HIS OWN GENRE KNOWN AS "CHRIS STAPLETON" LMAORHROF!).
I don't consider myself a country fan, but I watched the CMA show the other night anyway. Lots of good music. But when Chris Stapleton came on you could tell from the first few notes something really good was about to happen. He's a no nonsense "get right down to business" kind of singer. He gave me goose bumps from the moment he opened his mouth. I just found this video of that performance and couldn't keep from crying while it played. Wow! A rare talent, for sure.
@joruha look up his Bluegrass song, Blue Side of the Mountain. I LOVE IT....and it's not even some of his best. The Adele song he croons out live is somewhere on YT too. You should listen to it. It's just him, his song, his guitar and a microphone, shewww-wee, it's goood stuff!! Jmo...

This is what real music sounds like performed by real musicians for all you youngsters out there. Absolutely no disrespect whatsoever but this is the real deal. 👍👍👍👍
I really wasn’t quite familiar with Chris Stapleton until my nephew started working for him and he’s a very talented musician. My nephew is so I was so disappointed. I didn’t get to see him when I recorded the country music awards, but I’m very very proud of him and my brother who’s also musician just now told me that he didn’t. He didn’t go to the awards, but I’m very proud of my nephew and his wife who takes care of everybody’s kids. It’s so cool. I really dig these music of Chris Stapleton. I had no idea and I’m an old hippie 67 year-old old hippie, but I thought I’d seen it all until I met Chris Stapleton via Whitehorse and that’s on and watch the country music awards.❤
My fiancé said, “I don’t find him physically attractive, but when he sings he becomes very sexy, almost sultry.” I said, what the hells sultry mean. 😂😂😂🤷
The way he sing and make music is not only “country style music“. he is international style music, I always hear his music, every day! 🇲🇽 we love this guy!
I don't wanna imagine where country would have wound up over the last decade without Chris emerging and setting the standard. The dude is a legend in his prime. And seems like a genuinely good guy.
@Eddie Fleming.....he's the only *Country* singer I listen to besides Jason Aldean. @Chris Stapleton is a Country Boy from my neck of the woods, Eastern, KY, U.S.A (i.e. Paintsville, KY). I think he's awesome bc you cannot *lablel* him just Country....he's Soul & Blues, he's got some damn good Bluegrass in him and he can Rock out....so, he's just AWESOME!! #ChrIsStapletonMyKindaCountry 🇺🇸💯✅🎯
P.S. my husband doesn't like him, I told him he should keep that to himself before I have to file papers!! 😂 Kidding on the Divorce part, but my husband is a hard core Willie Nelson stan (Kris Kristofferson too. I love both, but then there's only a few great songs that I enjoy from them & Ken puts them on repeat sometimes. 🙄) and I think that he'd love his guitar picking, but Willie leaned less blues, more folk?! Anyhoo.... 😁😁😁
I kno P.Diddy just opened a new record company called love records , strictly old school love records . I hope this attempts put that feeling back . once the rappers started singing their own hooks and didnt need real vocalist assistance anymore . the women on the R&B side of things are holding the fort down on their side thou alot of great material being released by them .
It's funny how Chris can sing live and have the same great sound every time and other artists have some sound differences in their voices. Truly one of the best.
same same. i'll be honest i was very ignorant as to who this guy was and that anyone could mix country with other genres as if by accident. just simply brilliant wow
No need for jumping around or dancing. He summons you to feel hear and see every part of a song. Really doesn’t need the background stuff. Just his singing is powerful. It fills the room.
I heard hisperformance on the recent CMA'S. THIS song right here. He ripped that song to shreds on his guitar. Just listening instrumentally rips your heart open and made you weep. All the rest of the performers needed to just put down the mic and go on home. It was that stinking good. I cant wait until August, when I see him in concert. After over 5 years, i FINALLY get to see the greatest performer Ive ever heard in my life.
This man can’t be put in a “genre” box. He simply makes great music that exudes from his soul, and touches so many other souls. For me, that is what a great musician does☮️💜
Reminds me of Elvis.so many types and styles of music he does and flawlessly I might add. THE KICKER.hes one of the best guitar pickers around.siger/songwriter.#TOTAL PACKAGE
Just the way he has everyone in that room captivated, grooving to the music, speaks volumes. If you can own a room full of other musicians, you are something special.
This man’s voice is like a knife just cutting me up. Bruh bringing up old pain. Helping me get through it. Sewing me back up. Then walking off the stage. If we ever meet, I owe him a hug. And a love offering.
Finally?? Chris is absolutely amazing, but there are hundreds of soul and r&b singers that are doing this. Mainstream audiences just prefer their singers to look like Chris.
At 60 +++ yrs old I have seen a lot of changes in Country music. So... before I die Let me say this to the next generation of singers and listeners. This song is probably the best example of New Country I have ever heard! Are you all ready for his New Album? Chris if you happen to read this.. Don't change Anything! I'm here for all of it! The orchestra absolutely sent it over the moon. So happy to have experienced it before I go. Do I need to even say anything about the Jennifer Hudson duo? You never cease to Amaze me. See ya on the other side my friend.😊
Chris, you have an uncanny ability, putting every person of the audience in your story, and with every bleeding chord you sing, pull us into despair and awe, simultaneously...Damn, brother....
I’m just an old biker Making my way down the highway of life. This song makes my soul shudder. Damn you are so good. It kinda covers the way I feel most of the time. Thank you so much
Hello Betty. You have such a profound impact on Chris Stapleton career with your comment, love and support. A thank you text would fail to express our gratitude to you and every other followers on here, we love you. Chris Stapleton might like to show his appreciation personally, My name is Elizabeth Baer and I happened to be his personal communication manager. Thank you.
If you have the chance to see Chris Stapleton live, take it. Do whatever you have to in order to make it happen. The greatest concert I’ve ever attended.
Chris is not defined only by one genre ! He is a True Vocalist, who can sing literally anything)))Pop, rock, blues, country) Such a raw talent! So glad that we have him in these times of generic mainstream music) Chris brings old-school passion and soul combined with amazing, haunting melodies and lyrics) Just listen 3:27 ))))
Saw Chris Stapleton for my first time a couple days ago and I can’t get this song out of my head. It was performed exactly like this. Maybe one of the best single song performances I’ve ever heard live.
This man is a phenomena. Soul, country and blues in one package. You don't just hear him, you feel him. If you don't, you need to have your soul checked.
Thank you for reaching out, I want to use this medium to thank you for trusting and believing in my aspirations all this while, I hope some day you never stop liking my aspirations?
Good lord what an absolute MASTERPIECE! I've never been a country music fan but this crosses all the genres of Soul and R&B like I've not heard since the 60's! Thank you Chris for this gem!
Have u noticed that almost every race of people love this guy , he can do no wrong , wherever he goes he is welcome with open arms, that’s the way it should be to a great Artist
I've been binge listening to this man's music ever since I heard his outstanding super bowl anthem performance. Everything I've heard is just earth shaking, soul stirring - just outstanding!
I'm honestly so happy him singing the national anthem opened up so many people to the world of Chris Stapleton. He is such a talented singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Truly one of the greatest country artists of all time.
The only person left in country music that Johnny Cash would probably listen to. He transcends genres, writes, sings and plays guitar straight from the depth of his soul.
As a Singer myself I always say if you don't feel it, you don't sing it . Man! This guy is so on it and if you don't feel this check your pulse.Outstanding.
Ha!! Ha!! a good laugh at this time is fabulous. I'm taken back OMG!! I thought I heard the best of Jac Ross, STAN WALKER,TEEKS & GIVEON'S voice. Peace!! PEACHES JAMAICA 🇯🇲 HARLEM NYC 🇯🇲
Chris did not have to put me in a chokehold like this. This song won't let me go! 🤦🏽♀️ The bridge at 2:42 about put me in the hospital! You betta sanggggg, man!!!! ❤
I grew up in a southern tri-state area. I can honestly say I've never heard country music that sounds like this... He's a very talented man and I enjoyed the performance. Country soul ❣️
One of the best vocal performances in our lifetime. Phenomenal arrangement. Theres Sultry and Country Soul, Chris is both. Thank you, Sir what a remarkable gift you just gave us.
You hear him once you'll never forget him and you'll want to hear him again and again and again Chris Stapleton he's beyond amazing he's talent personified
True Southern Rock, R&Blues, mixed with orchestra strings is always gonna hit... And Chris is a master of the Southern Rock we grew up listening to in Central Kentucky and tagging it with his own genius musicality.
Agree totally. It really started in the 90s with Supafuzz, Gold Tooth Display, Taildragger, and especially KY Headhunters. Then later in the 2000s bands like Sunday Valley ( Stu ), Chris, etc carried all that on. Lex and Richmond is still going strong with new artist like Sean Whiting, Short and Company, etc
@@mikefields4136 Chelsea Nolan as well. I swear she's a Janis Joplin/Bonnie Raitt/Joan Jett/every female rock/southern blues mixed all together. I might be biased because I've known her since before she was born, but it seems the internet agrees. She was at my house one night at an impromptu jam session and brought tears to my eyes just because it's awe inspiring to see how she's mastered her instruments... Check her out. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
@@zachinky Man shes killer. I saw her in Nashville. Exactly the mix you described: Lynyrd Skynyrd with a female vocalist raised on Stevie Nix, Heart, and Joplin. I was the drummer for Shortgun XII and Sevenfold in the late 90s, Then Bufords Atomic Outhouse ( rockabilly) group for a few years ( 2006 to 2012 ). I'll be working on a record with Jarrod England ( Vocals- Rufus Huff ). He can rip. Chris Sprinkles ( Cut Love Kill ) ended up in Five Finger Death Punch. Dave Angstrom ( Supafuzz ) lives in Colorado and has a band called Luna Sol. Heck man, I remember being underage ( 16 ) and hitting Phone 3 and The Wrocklage all the time. Remember Shag from Cinci, Union City All Stars, Creeper, Beholder, Fire Station, Sweet FA, etc .........those was the days, but we still have great music
I love some Chris Stapleton, that sultry, soulful rich sound is epic and can't be duplicated. He is an original, genuine legend!!!!
Hello Etta 👋
No doubt
Agreed 💯
@Karl Bush I noticed that too, he should be recognized by now, Chris is a humble guy I'm happy I met him last year
@@mikewashington9383 Sorry just now seeing your message. Hello 👋 back at you😊
" Is Chris Stapleton country, blues, soul, or rock?"
*Yes.*
All of the above for sure
i think he IS Music
All
He is just too good I'm really happy I became his official fan. God bless him.
@@babycaykz he is the best, most definitely the best ever
Lord! I don't know who came up with this arrangement, but they're pure genius! Solid GOLD
The arrangement is beautiful. His voice is perfect. Pure passion.
Chris does all his arrangements...
No disrespect to all the other talent out there, but I think this man is out there on his own. ridiculously good
Yes disrespect them this is the country we need now and not the hip hop country they play on the radio
Definitely, because to have a voice this soulful, rich, and piercing is not natural...
And kids… this here is what we call TALENT. Nobody does it like Chris 🙌🏼
Exactly..thank you!
😮
Why kids..
For mature audiences only :-)
Facts. Not manufactured
He belongs to no genre. He is his everything. Soul, country, Gospel, Jazz, whatever. One of the best singers around today. Would love to see him in concert someday. ❤️
I invented a word for this kind of music: Fusion 😂
@@piesho lol that works...a fusion of soul, country and blues! I'm gonna so steal that...
Country music itself started is a fusion of bluegrass and blues and he's really good at both. Honestly if not for blues we wouldn't have country or rock.
I saw him last October & man he did not disappoint.
@@erickrodelius9009 really? I am so jealous!
He is more than country. This man is phenomenal. Soul and blues like I have never heard
I'm confused about his style of music penny, is he a country musician or blues ?
Love me some chris Stapleton
@@genetmeghann5284 he can sing any genre...i hate when he's pigeonholed...just an incredible singer
@@rickycoker5830 yeah .. I have you been to his concert before ?
Check out whiskey myers
Im hearing influences of bob seger, pink floyd, bb king, muddy waters, and clapton. Hes an incredibly talented musician.
I just realize, NOT A SINGLE AUDIBLE BACKGROUND VOCAL. This is a MASTERPIECE. I'm addicted!
Yesssss his voice is amazing
And the strings…..OMG
The strings are the background singers. Bad ass. Just bad ass
Outstanding 🎶🎶❤️❤️
Agree !! He's as Blue/country as it gets for this gendrae
I'm both a viola player and a guitarist. As someone who is deeply engrained with a love of strings this hits every box on the list. The fact that it's Stapleton makes it 100x better
Such an extremely sexy song, i could listen to it forever!😛❤💋
Would love to find a nice slow dancer for this number, yah so cold ummmmm
This man does not disappoint
I’ve been obsessed with music since before I could hold my own head up. This is magic and I never want it to stop
I just saw him perform this song at the Grammys and as an R&B fan, I love this guy. This song is straight blues and the man has soul. I think music has the ability erase all the lines we draw between each other. We sure do need more of it now.
💯
Amen! 💙
Amen
Amen

Heal Love. May God do it speedily. Ur in my prayers. May He give you peace and understanding

I just saw this last night as well.
What a song. Just tears me up from life that had gone by.

I’m came here as well after hearing this for the first time at the Grammys
This a badazz song! The music/instruments omg. Love it.💕💕💕🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was exactly the same way!

I have no words!❤
I agree completely!!! I will see him live one day!! ❤️❤️❤️
For real. Genuinely might be the best.
I can’t believe this is a live performance… so much talent.. so much soul… so much emotions. I’m breath taken away by the beautiful guitar solo. Hats off to you Sir!

or the same woman 1000 times.

This just feels like blues isnt it?
Hell yeah!!!
Right on!

Definitely Al Green
I agree I definitely hear blues. He’s my favorite singer right now love it.😍

I don't wanna imagine where country would have wound up over the last decade without Chris emerging and setting the standard. The dude is a legend in his prime. And seems like a genuinely good guy.
"he's a reality check for posers"
He is a remarkable singer and leading country music in the right direction. Many of the new country music singers sound like rubber stamped non
Nao
@Eddie Fleming.....he's the only *Country* singer I listen to besides Jason Aldean. @Chris Stapleton is a Country Boy from my neck of the woods, Eastern, KY, U.S.A (i.e. Paintsville, KY). I think he's awesome bc you cannot *lablel* him just Country....he's Soul & Blues, he's got some damn good Bluegrass in him and he can Rock out....so, he's just AWESOME!! #ChrIsStapletonMyKindaCountry 🇺🇸💯✅🎯
P.S. my husband doesn't like him, I told him he should keep that to himself before I have to file papers!! 😂 Kidding on the Divorce part, but my husband is a hard core Willie Nelson stan (Kris Kristofferson too. I love both, but then there's only a few great songs that I enjoy from them & Ken puts them on repeat sometimes. 🙄) and I think that he'd love his guitar picking, but Willie leaned less blues, more folk?! Anyhoo.... 😁😁😁
This song gives me hope that real music could be making a comeback. I've got chills.
"Real music" exists, but not promoted.
I kno P.Diddy just opened a new record company called love records , strictly old school love records . I hope this attempts put that feeling back . once the rappers started singing their own hooks and didnt need real vocalist assistance anymore . the women on the R&B side of things are holding the fort down on their side thou alot of great material being released by them .
It exists. Just gotta do some digging.
🙏🙏
Listen to his stuff when he was with The Steel Drivers
It's funny how Chris can sing live and have the same great sound every time and other artists have some sound differences in their voices. Truly one of the best.
I love 💝💝💝 Chris Stapleton he is my favorite singer in the world love 💝💝 you Çhris.
This man is a lyrical genius. I literally can listen to him non-stop all day.
Just saw him perform on the Grammys tonight...blew me away, I'm now a fan.
same same. i'll be honest i was very ignorant as to who this guy was and that anyone could mix country with other genres as if by accident. just simply brilliant wow
Me too. Amazing voice
@@jimcare3878 he’s going place. Chris is great
Have you been to his concerts before?
@Desirae Miller - same here!
saaaaame
Soul, blues, and country mixed together!!! Phenomenal!! ♥️
영상속 실제 공연본 사람입니다. 2년이 넘었지만 그때의 전률이 잊혀지지 않습니다. 기립박수가 절로 나왔던..
He performed the Star spangled banner @ the Super Bowl, he actually brought me to tears with his rendition.
So powerful. More please.
Me too!
Me too
Oh just give him ALL the awards and everyone else can just go home!!!! Wonderful man.❤❤
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Wow
FACTS
Chris, I call you “King of your own Genre” and this GEM is why! This soul seeps the deepest, elevates my spirit💫
you sure to heLL do! 🙂
This man is so talented!! The whole orchestra is in tune.🫶
No need for jumping around or dancing. He summons you to feel hear and see every part of a song. Really doesn’t need the background stuff. Just his singing is powerful. It fills the room.
EXACTLY 🙂
What a live performance
What a orchestra
Loved every moment
I heard hisperformance on the recent CMA'S. THIS song right here. He ripped that song to shreds on his guitar. Just listening instrumentally rips your heart open and made you weep. All the rest of the performers needed to just put down the mic and go on home. It was that stinking good.
I cant wait until August, when I see him in concert. After over 5 years, i FINALLY get to see the greatest performer Ive ever heard in my life.
Hello Regina 👋 How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your
privacy. Beautiful song with good performance
This man can’t be put in a “genre” box. He simply makes great music that exudes from his soul, and touches so many other souls. For me, that is what a great musician does☮️💜
Reminds me of Elvis.so many types and styles of music he does and flawlessly I might add.
THE KICKER.hes one of the best guitar pickers around.siger/songwriter.#TOTAL PACKAGE
Well said 👏
I can’t. His soul is a gift. We are so lucky to experience his talent.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
Just the way he has everyone in that room captivated, grooving to the music, speaks volumes. If you can own a room full of other musicians, you are something special.
Can’t Explain it! But,,, I have to ‘HIT REPLAY’ on this one ‘4 or 5’ times when I hear it! Nuf Said ‘OKAY’
This man’s voice is like a knife just cutting me up. Bruh bringing up old pain. Helping me get through it. Sewing me back up. Then walking off the stage. If we ever meet, I owe him a hug. And a love offering.
Bringing up old pain is so true.
Finally. Someone has some soul and understands the blues. What a killer song and performance.
Finally?? Chris is absolutely amazing, but there are hundreds of soul and r&b singers that are doing this. Mainstream audiences just prefer their singers to look like Chris.
Everybody feels something when we hear for the first time this masterpiece man. This song is so powerful. Just is lovely. He’s voice is unique.
Yep!!!!!❤
At 60 +++ yrs old I have seen a lot of changes in Country music. So... before I die Let me say this to the next generation of singers and listeners. This song is probably the best example of New Country I have ever heard! Are you all ready for his New Album? Chris if you happen to read this.. Don't change Anything! I'm here for all of it! The orchestra absolutely sent it over the moon. So happy to have experienced it before I go.
Do I need to even say anything about the Jennifer Hudson duo? You never cease to Amaze me.
See ya on the other side my friend.😊
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
God bless your soul sir
So in love with his vocal and this song is so good. 18mil views do not really justify how amazing this vocal performance is.
IT JUST CAN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS! THIS SONG GOES RIGHT THROUGH MY HEART AND SOUL... BRAVO! YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST CHRIS STAPLETON!!!!
Chris, you have an uncanny ability, putting every person of the audience in your story, and with every bleeding chord you sing, pull us into despair and awe, simultaneously...Damn, brother....
I’m just an old biker Making my way down the highway of life. This song makes my soul shudder. Damn you are so good. It kinda covers the way I feel most of the time. Thank you so much
omg nobody cares that you are a biker. We are just people. Get over yourself.
Your reply just made me think of someone I truly miss my friend Craig he was also a biker,he died so young.Heck you were so much fun.💔
Been there, I feel the PAIN!!!!!
#ChrisStapleton I love your voice, your guitar playing and musical selection. You are f**king incredible😊❤
His voice is just a force of nature. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You can literally feel his soul when he plays that guitar and sings. He is by far the most soulful dude out right now in any genre of music!
Music today isn't even music. It's posion. Great musicians sound amazing when live
I’m a big fan fan of this man’s music! His sound radiates to my soul!! Just love his music!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hello Betty. You have such a profound impact on Chris Stapleton career with your comment, love and support. A thank you text would fail to express our gratitude to you and every other followers on here, we love you. Chris Stapleton might like to show his appreciation personally, My name is Elizabeth Baer and I happened to be his personal communication manager.
Thank you.
Hello Betty
If you have the chance to see Chris Stapleton live, take it. Do whatever you have to in order to make it happen. The greatest concert I’ve ever attended.
Going to see him in Oct in Glasgow. Can't wait.
Will be seeing him in Vegas
Absolutely!! Best concert I've ever heard.
I’m going on 24th October in Wembley UK my life will be complete
same
This man's voice is amazing!! He can sing any kind of music.cant wait for more!!!!👍
Chris is not defined only by one genre ! He is a True Vocalist, who can sing literally anything)))Pop, rock, blues, country) Such a raw talent! So glad that we have him in these times of generic mainstream music) Chris brings old-school passion and soul combined with amazing, haunting melodies and lyrics) Just listen 3:27 ))))
Yup. Totally agree
Snowhite21.... agree with EVERY SINGLE WORD. Chris puts my faith back in music.
No kidding Country should be very fortunate to have this man, what a talent
💯✅🎯
Don’t forget about Bluegrass..
I love Chris..have seen him in concert and his voice is so powerful he makes anything sound good ..
He such an amazing artist.. one of a kind I'd say
Saw Chris Stapleton for my first time a couple days ago and I can’t get this song out of my head. It was performed exactly like this. Maybe one of the best single song performances I’ve ever heard live.
This man is a phenomena. Soul, country and blues in one package. You don't just hear him, you feel him. If you don't, you need to have your soul checked.
Thank you for reaching out, I want to use this medium to thank you for trusting and believing in my aspirations all this while, I hope some day you never stop liking my aspirations?
Good lord what an absolute MASTERPIECE! I've never been a country music fan but this crosses all the genres of Soul and R&B like I've not heard since the 60's! Thank you Chris for this gem!
I just love his raw voice, his guitar playing, blues style in some songs. he is just totally original. Awesome talent.
Have u noticed that almost every race of people love this guy , he can do no wrong , wherever he goes he is welcome with open arms, that’s the way it should be to a great Artist
One of the BEST VOICES, ever!!!
I've been binge listening to this man's music ever since I heard his outstanding super bowl anthem performance. Everything I've heard is just earth shaking, soul stirring - just outstanding!
Me too!
I'm honestly so happy him singing the national anthem opened up so many people to the world of Chris Stapleton. He is such a talented singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Truly one of the greatest country artists of all time.
+1
Saaaame!! Hopefully you’ve checked out some of his collabs with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Hudson, and others. He is amazing
That was epic. Best National Anthem EVER🙏🏻🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️
The only person left in country music that Johnny Cash would probably listen to. He transcends genres, writes, sings and plays guitar straight from the depth of his soul.
October 2024 ? One of the best live performances of all time without a doubt
Absolutely agree with you…. Stellar performance
Most definitely ❤😊
Here i am...
Him doin the National Anthem!!!!! 💚🫶🏻💚
Cuando Cris Stapleton canta , hasta los pájaros se callan para escucharlo ...Es sublime!!! 🔥
Eso es un hecho
As a Singer myself I always say if you don't feel it, you don't sing it . Man! This guy is so on it and if you don't feel this check your pulse.Outstanding.
Ha!! Ha!! a good laugh at this time is fabulous. I'm taken back OMG!! I thought
I heard the best of Jac Ross, STAN WALKER,TEEKS & GIVEON'S voice. Peace!!
PEACHES JAMAICA 🇯🇲 HARLEM NYC 🇯🇲
Colin, what do you sing? Are you in NYC? Would love to hear you sing.
Peaches JAMAICA 🇯🇲 HARLEM NYC 🇯🇲
Yes!!!! Yes!!! I 💯 agree
I swear every performance I watch, I get goose bumps. I’ve never heard a voice like his, it’s just absolutely incredible..
Chris did not have to put me in a chokehold like this. This song won't let me go! 🤦🏽♀️ The bridge at 2:42 about put me in the hospital! You betta sanggggg, man!!!! ❤
I grew up in a southern tri-state area. I can honestly say I've never heard country music that sounds like this... He's a very talented man and I enjoyed the performance. Country soul ❣️
There aren't enough words to describe how beautiful this man's music is -touches your heart and soul like few can do.
One of the best vocal performances in our lifetime. Phenomenal arrangement. Theres Sultry and Country Soul, Chris is both. Thank you, Sir what a remarkable gift you just gave us.
The way he belts ohhhh is just spectacular! Hits you right in the middle of your soul!
COLD is the most soulful country song I've ever heard. Chris Stapleton - Well done sir! God Bless you! Thank You! BEAUTIFUL!
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Oh my goodness! I looked at my husband during this & I think I saw a tear..he wasn't alone. Absolutely one of a kind.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
thank you for touching the soul & heart.
@@Bryanadamsmusicinc
@@GrandmaJilly1 it’s my pleasure having you on here, so have you ever been to our concerts?
@@Bryanadamsmusicinc no, sorry. unable to.
Best CMA performance EVER!
Beautiful man❤
You hear him once you'll never forget him and you'll want to hear him again and again and again Chris Stapleton he's beyond amazing he's talent personified
Blues....soul....country....Chris Stapleton blends them all together so beautifully
Dang! Chris is soooooo underrated! The most versatile and bloody best singer of our times!! So refreshing to hear his voice 😍
Genius!… Go Chris!….gives me the chills every time..
True Southern Rock, R&Blues, mixed with orchestra strings is always gonna hit... And Chris is a master of the Southern Rock we grew up listening to in Central Kentucky and tagging it with his own genius musicality.
Agree totally. It really started in the 90s with Supafuzz, Gold Tooth Display, Taildragger, and especially KY Headhunters. Then later in the 2000s bands like Sunday Valley ( Stu ), Chris, etc carried all that on. Lex and Richmond is still going strong with new artist like Sean Whiting, Short and Company, etc
@@mikefields4136 Chelsea Nolan as well. I swear she's a Janis Joplin/Bonnie Raitt/Joan Jett/every female rock/southern blues mixed all together. I might be biased because I've known her since before she was born, but it seems the internet agrees.
She was at my house one night at an impromptu jam session and brought tears to my eyes just because it's awe inspiring to see how she's mastered her instruments... Check her out. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
@@zachinky Man shes killer. I saw her in Nashville. Exactly the mix you described: Lynyrd Skynyrd with a female vocalist raised on Stevie Nix, Heart, and Joplin.
I was the drummer for Shortgun XII and Sevenfold in the late 90s, Then Bufords Atomic Outhouse ( rockabilly) group for a few years ( 2006 to 2012 ). I'll be working on a record with Jarrod England ( Vocals- Rufus Huff ). He can rip.
Chris Sprinkles ( Cut Love Kill ) ended up in Five Finger Death Punch. Dave Angstrom ( Supafuzz ) lives in Colorado and has a band called Luna Sol. Heck man, I remember being underage ( 16 ) and hitting Phone 3 and The Wrocklage all the time. Remember Shag from Cinci, Union City All Stars, Creeper, Beholder, Fire Station, Sweet FA, etc
.........those was the days, but we still have great music
