I've listened to this song 4 times in a row. And I don't even like country music. I saw Chris for the first time playing with the Steeldrivers, I've been hooked ever since. One of the greatest voices I ever heard. Chris, make your way up to Canada, drinks are on me bro.
SINCE THIS WAS NEVER RELEASED ON ONE OF CHRIS'S ALBUMS I DEARLY HOPE THAT HE WILL RELEASE IT AS PART OF A FUTURE ALBUM. THEN RERELEASE IT AS A SINGLE SINCE IT IS SO SUPERIOR TO MOST OF THE CRAP BEING RELEASED TODAY & BECOMING COUNTRY GOLD. THIS SONG IS REAL COUNTRY GOLD NO DOUBT!!!!!
He is a mix of all the greats. Waylon, haggard, and cash. He is country music's only saving grace now a days, and I'm not much of a country fan aside, from the previous ones I mentioned and hank Williams sr
I LOVE this song and Chris Stapleton.... no more like obsessed with him and his music.. Nobody and I mean nobody has captured me the way this man has since George Strait some 36 years ago..... He just stuns me with every song.....
Staple tons of this to my heart n mind. I nestled right in there between you both and your love for each other gently closes my eyes and what I experienced was.. well.. the word heaven wouldn’t even be a close comparison . Thankyou oh powers that be for releasing Chris n Morgane into this world
Come play in South Georgia or North Florida you have a GOD given talent. Wish you all the best. Thanks for playing can't stop listening. I share with everyone I can. Can't wait til you play at the underground again.
Too many country stars went all glitter. Chris is a founder in the whole new "Americana" music. Chris and Jamey Johnson are setting a whole new standard, and have tapped into what we want to hear.
these are my favourite male vocalist of all time, ROY ORBISON,SAM COOKE,JOHN FARNHAM,GLEN CAMPBELL,FREDDY MERCURY, STEVE PERRY, CHRIS STAPLETON, PAUL RODGERS, OTIS REDDING, LITTLE RICHARD, MICHEAL BOLTON,STEVIE WONDER.MICHEAL JACKSON,
I am the. BIGGEST Stapleton fan.....I've always loved LED Zeppelin... but I can't get enuff of Chris.... that voice is once n a lifetime .....maybe more than one lifetime...brilliant
I Love his voice and this song is so nice. Congrats! to Chris winning 5 Awards April 3rd 2016 on Country Music Awards........especially Male Vocalist of the year! Well deserved, I only discovered him last week before the Award show. I'm going to listen to him from now on......Love his style and that voice, yes sir!!!!!!
Chris and Morgane literally have everything I want. Common interest and that kind of love that feels like the first date every day they wake up next to each other. You can tell just by how they look at each other that it's not some bullshit play to make a good stage show. Those two are totally and helplessly in love and I envy the shit out of it.
Of course I am blown away by Chris. I actually like the acoustic version of this song better than the album version ( non acoustic version) Just me. :)
This should be flowing out of speakers from across the airwaves sent out from country stations everywhere. This is just the medicine needed to heal all the broken hearted speakers that have been tortured to hell and back puking out the rap crap, hip NOT, pop $#@* some folks want to call country music.
+Teddy aldridge You realize that this is Motown with steel guitars and some down south twang? This is new blues. I love him; he's a fantastic songwriter, singer, and player...but it's;s not something like "traditional" country that's here to heal all the wounds inflicted by "bro country" which is still country music; it's just that those tropes -- beer, whiskey, truck beds, bonfires, dirt roads, mudding;, hunting;, suntanned legs and blue eyes -- that's all small town life. And small town living isn't what traditional country music was really about. Hank, Jones, Jennings, Nelso, hell...Porter Wagoner. They weren';t singing about those things. They weren't singing about cultural identity -- which is why you see so much of that bullshit symbolism in country music today. Because people think those things are SYMBOLIC of people...FROM THE COUNTRY. Sure, sometimes...but not most folks. I should know, I live in the heart of East Central Kentucky, and you'd be hard pressed to find 5 people who live within ten miles of me who actually lived down an old dirt road or go muddin. It's hollow, because it's a glamour of sorts -- it talks about "roots" and "tradition; and all that jazz, but it';s really just a series of cardboard cut out stock photos thrown over a backing track. The reason everyone has lost their shit over Chris Stapleton isn't because the second-coming of whatever you believe to be "real" country. ...it's because he's authentic; he's singing and writing songs he wants to LISTEN to. And he knows that people respond to that kind of authenticity. He's got a fantastic ear for harmony, plays a mean blues guitar, knows why a steel guitar makes people feel lonesome and forlorn, and people BELIEVE him when he sings. That's what country music has ALWAYS been about -- authenticity. Some twang and a fiddle here and there don't hurt, but it's not about tropes, it's about authenticity. That's why he resonates. ...but make no mistake. He's a Motown singer from Lexington, KY. He writes songs that would have absolutely been at home in Detroit, LA, NYC, or anywhere else. He just happens to have the right twang and gruff, so people decided he was a "country" music star. ...he's not. ...he's Chris Stapleton, and Chris Stapleton the songwriter and performer would be fantastic whatever format you wanted to throw him into.
Christopher Harris I agree with your points bc Lionel Richie writes R&B, Rock & Country Music too. Music is a God Given Talent. Trust me HE Has no respective person so why should we. Keep on Singing Chris Stapelton.
@@Aiglos78 CHRIS IS ACTUALLY CLOSER TO THE ORIGINAL ARTISTS THAT HELPED DEVELOP MODERN COUNTRY MUSIC WITH NOTHING MORE THAN THEIR STORIES FROM THEIR ROOTS AS FOLK SINGERS, AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR, A 12 BAR BLUES SYSTEM INCLUDING A I,IV,V CHORD PROGRESSION. & A SOULFUL DELIVERY OF THEIR SAD SONG BECAUSE OF THEIR ROOTS AS BLUES SINGERS! YES THEY SANG A FUSION OF FOLK & THE BLUES WITH MAJOR INFLUENCES FROM GOSPEL & RAGTIME. THE GENRE WAS THEN KNOWN AS HILLBILLY FROM THE 1920'S UP UNTIL 1949 WHEN IT OFFICIALLY BECAME COUNTRY & WESTERN EVENTUALLY. JUST COUNTRY!!!! SO YOU SEE THE COMMON THREAD OF COUNTRY & BLUES IS THEY WERE POOR COUNTRY FOLK BOTH WHITE & BLACK WHO INTERACTED & WERE A LOT LESS SEGREGATED THAN THEIR CITY BRETHREN. THEIR PLIGHT OFTEN DID INCLUDE DIRT ROADS. THERE WERE SOME PICKUPS BUT NOT MANY AS A MATTER OF FACT. MUDDIN' WAS PRETTY MUCH SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE. BOTH OF MY GRANDPAS WERE SHARECROPPERS IN THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA IN THE 20' S 30' S 40'S ON INTO THE 50'S. MY PARENTS BOTH CHOPPED & PICKED COTTON UNTIL THEY GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL & LEFT HOME. BOTH FAMILIES DEPENDING ON WAGONS FOR TRANSPORTATION UNTIL THE LATE 40'S!!!!!! I WAS BORN IN ROSEDALE MISSISSIPPI IN 1957 & THANK THE GOOD LORD I DIDN'T EVER HAVE TO WORK IN THE COTTON FIELDS BACK HOME!!!!!!!!! A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT THEY SANG ABOUT IN THE 60'S WERE ENJOYED BY PEOPLE OF MEANS JUST NOT MY FAMILY BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEIR FRIENDS. SO I SAY TO CHRIS GO MAN GO SING THE COUNTRY MUSIC OF MY FAMILY. MAKE SURE IT IS A REALLY SAD SONG ROOTED IN POVERTY BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT CAME FROM. PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE SOULFUL DELIVERY WITH AT LEAST A BLUESY EDGE OR IT WOULN'T BE REAL OR AUTHENTIC!!!!!!!!
@@Aiglos78 WOW! I like him too! I came from the Porter Wagner, Loretta Lynn, Hank Willams generation, got over it, and have now came back to country, along with the blues anyway you serve it, and of rock n roll!
ThomasSaPe not stripped. This is how it was written. Nashvegas producers have a habit of ruining good songs in the studio with their lack of musical knowledge. The album version of this song completely sucks. Music is always at its best when it is simple. I love this tune. Just glad to have RU-vid so that We can hear it the way it was intended before some halfwit production hack got a hold of it. Chris and Morgan kick ass.
Far superior to the original. This acoustic version of the track should have been a single. He just defines what makes an acoustic track sound so fantastic. Pure and utter talent.
oh my gosh---just love him----where has he been ?? lol--he soothes my soul and makes me forget the day and its better then a bubble bath and candles (ok --better yet--a bubble bath and candles with him playing ohhh yeah) awesome
That's exactly how I got turned onto him, learning guitar on Utube! Scarecrow in the Garden was first song I learned by him and first time I ever heard of him, now I'm hooked....
Little to say that hasn't already been said. LOVED him with the SteelDrivers and equally as awesome on his own. He and his wife sound GREAT together, too... And when a song can make you play it over and over when you are not even broken hearted??? That's a bad ass song...
I've listened to another solo version of Chris singing this song a hundred or so times and been perfectly happy with it, but this one with Morgane is great. They have the perfect amount of melancholy sprinkled in when they sing. They are fabulous.
