I never cared about genre or whatever category people are in, all I know is I love music, and if it moves me, I love it. God Gifted talent like this feeds my soul. I’m gonna be 67, I listen to all kinds of music, have all my life, forget the genre’s, doesn’t matter. I’ve never been one to say “Oh I only listen to this or I never listen to that”. We’re ALL Souls, I enjoy watching young people like you listening to things you didn’t know and seeing how much you get it too.
I typically dont like songs being interrupted but watching you listen to Chris Stapleton from a fresh perspective is great. I can tell you feel his music.
@Jennifer zekas....100%. Cold is incredible. I'd also suggest parachute, whiskey sunrise and the devil always made me think twice. Traveller and starting over are also amazing. Hard to go wrong with chris. He's the country version of Bob seger. Amazing singer and songwriter. Huge collection of hits you can't go wrong with.
Love hearing your reaction to Chris Stapleton!! Reminds me of my first time hearing Snoop. Im an ole, white hillbilly lady, but I think it's time we all just came together with some good music and love and support each other!!! Love to you, Brother!
This is one of those special artists that transcends any genre. I am not a country fan, but I am a big fan of a handful of artist they place in that genre. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks (one of the best concerts I have ever seen), and Chris Stapleton.
First time I ever heard this song, I closed my eyes & could visualize someone walking that "last mile". He & his writing can take you places & that's the mark of a great musician. Imo
Chris can do it all. He started out in bluegrass (steel drivers), went on to rock/blues (jompson brothers) now on his own. He sings, writes his own songs and plays the heck out of the guitar. As Stan below said, Chris is his own genre.
He's usually the lead guitar in most of his song's too. Also most folk's dont realize his wife also is a well known song writer and sings with him in most songs!
You’ll be hard pushed to find a Chris Stapleton song that you won’t like. For something more upbeat, try Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton live at the CMAs 2015 doing Tennessee Whiskey/Drink You Away 🙂
Chris is simply incredible. You’ll understand as you continue to,listen to him. Funny, I am not a fan of most country music, but I am absolutely obsessed with Chris. That’s him playing guitar, his wife sings with him and his entire band is amazing. We’ve seen him in concert three times and will be seeing him in October, 2022 again (tickets have been purchased). I never thought I’d continue to see the same artist over and over again, but he’s addicting. He’s SO fantastic live. As others have said, you definitely need to check out his live performance of Cold. You’ll be blown away.
2:32 Chris' music is just a beautiful blend of roots music (or Americana). He's blues, country, folk, gospel/soul, and rock and roll, among others. His music, regardless of genre, is outstanding
Great reaction, thanks for doing it! Stapleton’s genre is Stapleton… he floats, and it’s awesome. Not sure if others have mentioned it, but that lead guitar that was killing it is almost certainly Stapleton himself… yeah, he’s that good!
Country is just the white man's blues. Every genre dips into blues and r&b. Today's music has no soul to me. I miss the good stuff that makes you feel. Like Chris he makes you feel. Edit: the beat always gives me the mental image of them walking an inmate to the death chamber.
Many country fans also enjoy the Blues. To us, both say America's Heart and America's soul in similar yet in different ways. I love Chris as he's found a mix of the two that works well for him.
polo reactions make me re-live mine as I grew my listening over the years knowing the best, elder now! live love laugh you remind of a past love his name "Polo" no cap good vibes
You have turned me on to Chris and now I can't get enough of him. In the process, I became a fan of yours. I like you as a person and enjoy your taste in music. Your analyses are spot on. Thank you for the great entertainment. This little old lady in Indiana is grateful. I wish you a blessed life!
Thank you for stopping the track and saying what you think and feel. I've already heard the track and have my own feel on it. I watch these kinds of videos because I wanted to hear your opinion. I could have missed something you might see or hear which adds to the way I can experience the music. That's why you just got me as a subscriber. Much love to you for what you're doing.
Chris has some amazing soulful runs! This is one of my very favorite reaction channels! You do a great job to really hear the music and give it a chance! This reminds me of Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughn and Before you accuse me by Eric Clapton … blues music my dad loves and it is great!
Chris Stapleton when he was with the “Steelers” a great bluegrass band turned me into a devotee in 2010+ now he’s turning me back onto The purest blues Along these similar lines another soulful singer I found “ Joss Stone “ back in the day, I think it was about the same time it’s really hard to pick the genre because she has so many I try her earliest when she was just 17 another great BritishSOULFUL singer
The sound conveyed in this song is the sound of screeching steel like cell doors (at the intro), and the background music sounding like someone ambling or shuffling down the prison halls.
Chris does Country, Rock, Blues, Bluegrass, and mixtures of some and all. His Rock is with the band called The Jompson Brothers, Bluegrass is The Steel Drivers, Country is self-entitled, and Blues can be found in all of it.
Chris admired B.B. King and you can tell it colored his style alot. He is more country Soul/ Blues. He actually is his own genre which has spread through Country Soul AND Southern Rock.
You're right, it is the blues. IMO, when hip hop commanded so much of black musicians' talent, the blues suffered and surprisingly was absorbed by some country musicians. I hope artists like Chris Stapleton reinvigorate a new generation of blues artists, we need it.
I thought the song was gonna be full of machismo and all that and it really became personal and deep. It felt like I understood why he was there without knowing why he was there and I was sorry as hell he was. Very cool. I feel like this could've been played in the late 50s early 60s and would've drove audiences wild.
Chris is in a genre all his own! Nothing or nobody else like him. He makes you feel everything he sings! Oh and on a different note, you remind me so much of MrLboyd and how he does his reactions. Check him out if you don’t know of him ❤️😂
