The guys voice is insanely on point. His voice needs to be played on the radio every day. His style is exactly what country music radio needs to bring back.
This song guts me everytime I hear it. My ex husband had tried to kill himself. Thankfully, I got him to the hospital in time. But, He was put on dialysis because the attempt shut his kidneys down. He did it on my birthday too, which is a couple weeks before Christmas. He was in the hospital under intensive care, and I had to work. My last working day before Christmas, I was driving to spend it with him, and this came on. I was so overwhelmed with everything, and the song hit me hard. I broke down in tears and had to wait to go in. That was 6 years ago and when I hear the song, I still weep. Some songs just hold emotional responses, and this is one. ❤ I miss the good times we had, but not the emotional trauma he put me through.
NEVER, ever has this TRUTH been performed as eloquently as Sturgill does; all our thanks to When In Rome Thank you everyone that made this moment possible Thank you all
I loved this song at the first listen and bought the CD and loved that and would play The Promise as loud as possible and loved the experience almost in a different reality of heightened emotion and especially love. It was a different experience that I ever heard in my 60 years of loving music. Truly one of my favorites of all time.
This is amazing. I heard it on Spotify and finally found this live version. I like it better than the original, and I've listened to that hundreds of times. His voice is unique. Almost what you'd expect if Waylon Jennings and Billy Corgan had a kid.
Never heard of this guy until recently while listening to a LUKAS NELSON Radio mix on Spotify. I am now a near-obsessed fan!! The Promise gives me hope ❣ Sturgill makes his talent appear effortless ... I'm in love with this man's unique voice
I just got out of prison after a decade. Stove up emotionally, and damned near incapable of emoting. I got turned onto Sturgill by my brother, and have had it on repeat for a minute, tearing up, and loving this song. You're right, he owned this song, better than When In Rome... By a sight.
I love his version of this song. What saddens me, is that there are people there who think this is original. I go through this with my daughter all the time.
I hear Waylon in there in him. But this guy is his own man ,the real deal, friend of mine, turned me on to this song. I have been wearing it out,he is his own artist
Just got into listening to country music. Any more songs like this mellow vibe here? My friend recommended "F*ck You B*tch by Wheeler Walker Jr and I'm definitely not a fan of that. More like this, please :)
This man is an old soul , he is a national treasure ........

Dude is special. The emotion can’t be denied.

This one got me on my knees. I wish every man has a girl to sing this to. Cowboy up.
One of the most insanely, stellar, beautifully done, covers I have ever heard in my 46 years of existence on planet earth.
Straight…..chills.
I honestly can’t get over how good this guy is.
I took a year to catch up to you - AGREE 100%
Exactly
NEVER, ever has this TRUTH been performed as eloquently as Sturgill does; all our thanks to When In Rome

The man takes a simple promise and makes it a tontine!(A pledge)
This song is so beautiful, it makes me feel like crying. I could listen to The Promise over and over.❤
Was a fan of the original, he puts an amazing spin on it.
crazy how different the cadence and tempo is and what it does to the song
It was one of the most beautiful soaring 80s new wave songs, and he's covered it so uniquely - also inspiring and
beautiful.

The leftovers series brought me here ❤️

The fact that someone can avoid hearing this man’s name is emblematic of the state of country music today.
I was at HSB that year... how could I have missed him? Where was I ? This cat tears me up !!!
He's the voice of country music today
There’s no comparison between the original and Sturgill’s version. This version is unique, just love it!
What a talent. Sturgill may not have blown up like a should have but he’ll go down in history as one of the best.
Im sure When In Rome would be proud of Sturgils interpretation....moving in a different way. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTUFUL!
Sadness at it's very best
Damn that voice tho!!! 😍😍😍
He can do no wrong......he makes this cover his own.
Who's song is it?
@@mrdestruct1 when in rome....the promise

@@jaesenpike Hey welcome home man.
@@fightinamish8183 thanks man! 😁

Saddens you? Who cares enough to get sad? How bizarre
Somehow Amazon Music led me to this song... $7.99 a month well spent.
I got to see him play this live last summer and it sent a chill right up my spine. He makes you feel every word 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻.
Perfection
Damn! That boy can sing!
I hear Waylon in there in him. But this guy is his own man ,the real deal, friend of mine, turned me on to this song. I have been wearing it out,he is his own artist
Sturgill changed me
Great Song!
Bravo!!!!!!
Just adore him xx
great ,thank you
This is 🔥!
Sorry, I’m just thinking of the right words to say
