I see people that absolutely blow me away about once every 15 years or so. Jeez. Chris, lordy brother, lay it down! That's one of the most incredible performances I've ever seen .
Yes there is ...they are black ...which is where he gets his country soul style from but they don’t put out their music because of this hip hop shit and watered down r&b bullshit
If you ever get a chance to see him live DO IT! I have been to countless shows over the course of my life and I'd rather see Chris Stapleton do his thing than anyone I have ever watched.
2 years later and there STILL ain't a better voice (in all genres of music)...the man is a freak of nature,his voice is otherworldly,he can do no wrong imo
everyone talks about how he has brought back real country and all that. His music is beyond being classified as one specific genre. He is keeping real MUSIC alive. I never even thought of listening to country music in all my life, and im almost 40 years old. That is until I heard this man and Drake White and started digging into their music. i decided real quick just from Stapleton and White that i wasn't letting the fact that it is classified as COUNTRY music stop me from experiencing it. It's MUSIC... Real music. When it hits you in the soul the way this does, and you find yourself on a mission to try and hear everything they have done, who cares what genre it is. It's music. It's real. It's f****** awesome.
I agree. I feel compelled to mention though, I think most of Drake White's radio stuff isn't nearly as good as the versions I heard him sing in concert. Not sure if the record companies made him change it or if it was his choice or what. Chris Stapleton never disappoints, in my opinion.
THE SINGER that all others these days need to be compared too! I pretty much can feel every single note that this man sings. Does not matter if it is a song he wrote for himself to sing, sold a song to another artist to sing, or even a cover song. He owns them all once he sings it with his voice and his guitar. Kudos Chris! About time you are recognized for your contribution to music through your voice and song writing! **I do admit, I do have a male crush on Chris! That boy can sing and make you feel it like no one else can these days!!! Show less REPLY
I can not imagine sitting in a bar and then all of a sudden hearing that. You know instantly that you are in the presence of sheer unadulterated broken soul. So glad the entire bar there realized it too.
Fool me again is such a great song, probably my favorite, but he is so great with everything he sings!! I just saw him in Columbia, MD on 6/18/16 and he was the best performance I have ever seen!
I agree. I've seen the Jompson Brothers live several times. The place is always rocking, and then when Chris comes out for the encore and does whisky and you and I cry, the place just falls silent.
Ive been hiding behind Metallica far to long. Im finding this group simply by chance & man im glad i did! Does he make albums? He is extreamly talented & needs a lable to snatch him up. Now this is good musiic.......
As a musician, knowing the pain as well as intellect, ... ... .there isn't much a man can say, except PRAISE ALMIGHTY GOD JEHOVAH IN THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST MY PERSONAL LORD FOR CHRIS'S GOD GIVEN MUSICAL GIFTS
I am absolutely in love with this man's voice and have been for so long. He is so technically fucking perfection and yet his voice can break my heart with one note and I don't even know him.
No, these will most likely be on his solo album. Not sure when it will be released, but from what I've read and heard, soon. Chris Stapleton's MySpace music page has "I was Wrong" and a string of other songs that have already been recorded. Good stuff, hard to beat seeing him live though.
I cannot stop watching this man. I'm obsessed. His voice speaks to my soul. He seems to soothe me, in such a guttural uncommon way. He resonates within me, on a level I can't even explain. I cannot wait to see him in person. I think I will faint. His soul. He gives us everything. All that he's got. This is so rare.
Can't teach soul.. And cant play/sing the blues without having felt the blues... This cat is the prime example of it! Im thankful that we were blessed to be able to feel the music rather than just hear it! If you havent seen his cover of the godfather if souls its a mans world youve got to check it out! Its beyond words! Have a blessed day!
If y'all havent checked out his "mans world" (james brown) cover you're missing out on something Truly incredible.... Almost alien! Haha!. You cant teach soul and you cant play the blues without knowing what they feel like! This cat is something special!
Seriously.. His cover of the godfathers its a mans world is absolutely insane!.. The reaction of the dudes he jumped up and sang with said it all! Talent only takes you so far, this cat has a bunch of that and the one thing that cant be taught..... Soul! Those old cats always said you Cant sing/play/feel the blues until you've known the blues...he is the example..we're the lucky ones.. People like us FEEL the soul in music... A lot of people just hear the words! Cheers!
Omg Chris stapleton you are the BEST Country and all together the BEST Voice of all time. You always can feel the emotions in your songs it's amazing.❤
