Chris Stapleton -- Death Row [REVIEW/RATING] 

Love the reaction. Liked how you painted the picture of death row.

Goosebumps

The tempo is so fitting to the lyrics and the scenario he`s painting.

Everything about the sound of this evokes the relentless passage of boring but prescious time while he cries & moans out his thoughts out above that background.

Wow, your reaction is awesome. The screeching steel in the beginning, the march, the repetition you hit on it all, well done! This is my favorite Chris Stapleton song, thanks for this, very cool 😙💕💕

Chris Stapleton put me right there... I really felt that song... very incredible .. very descriptive ... very powerful ... you gave it a good rating... Love the song ...

Chris Stapleton is in my book already a living legend, he is the best in writing songs, singing songs, and playing his guitar xoxoxo I can totally see this song being used in a lot of movie's!!!

Chris started out playing and singing BLUEGRASS, yes you read that right BLUEGRASS, in a band called Steel Drivers.

One could build an entire movie around this song,

Awesome. Stapleton is on another level of talent. We heard the same thing with the “marching” beat, almost like you can hear chains. Good stuff

Chris is straight blues with hillbilly country undertones 😎 I dont have to mention he's got soul.

Thank you for your reaction to Death Row, love Chris Stapleton. I know that you do music reactions but there is a movie you should watch if you want to learn a little about death row. The movie is called The Green Mile, starring Tom Hanks and Michael Duncan Clark. Even if you don't do a reaction to it, it is a must watch. One of the best movies ever. Warning, grown men cry so have tissues ready.

He had the same reaction I did… damn (god damn!)

He can FLAT OUT SANG!!!! Very emotional...🔥🔥🔥🔥feel wwaayyy down DEEP in your bones/soul!!!!

Wow, your review was absolutely amazing,, thank you for the insight into these lyrics. I think your review did the song JUSTICE!

Chris loves Freddie King. All blues!

No matter what the situation bless those whom where harmed but all living things have feelings

I've been on death row, Since the day I was born, The only difference is, They know the time, And I don't, Unless something happens to them,,, Before the date is due,, on death row,,,

The Tempo to this song is what gets you. The snare pop, in the beginning, sounds like a pick ax, busting rocks, and you can hear the shackles and chains rattling, then the beat seems to morph into the marching towards the end of your life, then morphs again into sounding like a ticking clock, signaling your time ticking away. Then the lyrics on top of it all are just moving and emotional. I don't think even the producer/mixer/engineer's knew how great this was going to turn out, if they did, It was GENIUS.

The beat of this song is like a clock marking time. It is also possible to visualize an old folks home in this song. Picture it.

Love your thoughts and reaction on this. Chris stapleton is my favorite!

I just stumbled across this reaction video and discovered your channel. I really enjoyed your review/reaction on this song and you expressed perfectly my internal emotional response to this song! That repetitive beat of DEAD MAN WALKING resonates in your soul with each throbbing beat! I appreciate your intelligent review, your obvious extensive knowledge of country music...(I was country when country wasn’t cool! 😁 And I’m also very familiar with “Sing Me Back Home” by Waylon! That’s old school yet timeless and hits you in your soul just as you said. But you had to reach waaayy back for one that even is comparable to this! LOL! It’s just great to see someone on RU-vid in my generation and that has a real familiarity with country music for a change! 😁)...and that you could actually vocalize your visceral reaction as well as the intellectual impact of these lyrics, the phrasing and timing of each line and how it must compare to the actual Death Row. You scored a new fan with this reaction/review! Now I’m off to catch up on some of your past videos! I noticed you’ve got some A-MA-ZING classics as well as some that must be more contemporary because I’m not familiar with them...and I do love to discover a new artist’s work that speaks to my soul!

Great reaction to an amazing artist. Yes I felt the chains and the walls closing in when listening to this..every time. From a country that hasn't executed anyone since 1964, I truly felt this artists meaning.

Its like he touches your soul.

Great analysis of the song. Stapleton's voice is so breathtaking that his songwriting gets short shrift. His sensitivity to the songs' topics is exceptional. Other great examples are Scarecrow In the Garden (From A Room v2) and Can You Run (SteelDrivers, Reckless cd).

And green green grass of home,

thank you that is what i was feeling in your bones

That's what I hear too Don. Walking to his execution. Very intense.

Almost 8K views and NO thumbs down. Wow! I hope it lasts.

I'm gonna look that up right now

It's time ticking. Nothing But time. Death coming closer with every tick.

I think one of his secrets is that he happily works with co-writers, and does not restrict them to one or two guys.

Wow! That was deep. Great reaction.

“Shit gets in your bone marrow when ya hear it” hahahah! Love it brother!

My favorite song of his!! Great work sir!!

In this song I hear a clock ticking, knowing the end is near.

Im excited for this one🤗

gee - that song gave me the creeps imagining these thoughts goin through the prisoners mind and the permanence of it all - the finality of it all is spooky and although I believe in the death penalty in most cases I have ever read of - it seems so haunting and as you said about the guitar work on it makes you think the culprit is walking to his doom - wow the rating is apt in this one - he has captured the essence of the whole thing - sure is pure artistry - Sing me Back Home is prob one of my all time favourite songs too - dont think I could listen to Death Row song again though - talk about the fear of death - its so true in this song - cheers Don xxx

Now that was deep. Don't know what to say other than great job on the rating.

Agreed, his music is straight blues with country under tones 👍 Chris makes it rain. Only 1 singer in a lifetime. It was Elvis and this time its Chris. So because Chris is from Kentucky and makes it rain, it reminds me of the song by Elvis named Kentucky Rain. Its like Elvis knew there would be a great from Kentucky lol. Im just typing my mind and thinking too deep. Good video👍

Speaking truth.

Just on his own " I mean how many different artists can you use in one song" only Chris Stapleton

The Stapleton genre.

long black veil,,

Think id call it 'Country Rhythm & Blues'

I think it’s a clock ticking his time away.

Chris spun a masterpiece in less than 4 minutes. Yea, he's now my favorite SINGER.....

It would be gut wrenching not knowing when your going to walk deathrow! Sometimes its shooting a man that messed with his wife,a just cause but still against the law.

There are times when less is more.

@Rockn2Country can you do Stapletons old team “stealdrivers” song “where rainbows go to die” dads passing from cancer and I wanna verify it’s content and context *plus it’s a bomb song. That’s and Sticks that make thunder. Love that your shouting Tyler sturg isbell (which you’re still pronouncing wrong FYI lol ;) it’s (Is-bowl), colter, Chris knight try lorn Huron too. Best song I’d meet me in the woods

He’s amazing. I hear a clock. Like his time is winding down.

Where is my last meal 🥘 that's all I can think I'm with you

Nice one. Can't go wrong with Chris Stapleton. Another of my favorite story tellers besides Kris Kristofferson, is Marty Robbins. What you think?

The beginning is shackles being dragged and the click is the clock ticking down, that’s a bad background drop!!!!!

U on fb my man Hypeman out

Good God is right

Enters your soul I see green mile

if he was still alive, probably Johnny Cash could sing this :)

Are u married Mr. Reaction man?

Johnny Cash level
