Y’all need to see the live version of the song. The person singing harmony is his wife, Morgane. He has written many songs for lots of people. Morgane Convinced Chris to go out on his own and sing his songs. Chris has stage fright and his wife gets up and things with him, which helps him. She is a good singer in her own right.
@@BourbonCountryReacts he did this one live with Justin Timberlake at the CMT awards in 2018, I believe. That performance put Chris on the map. They do this together & then another one of Justins together. Amazing performance. Check it out off channel if necessary. Friggin' awesome.
Stapleton is literally one of those guys that people always say “ man, he could sing the phone book and make it sound good.” In this case, it is absolutely true.
For the record, country singers are actually influenced by many genres. Those influences can't help but creep in. And, you might be surprised, but lots of country singers have a soulful sound.
Josh Turners song "Your Man" was written by Chris Stapleton. It's a great song and I love Josh Turners voice SO much. You should add it to the list if it's not on there!
I started working in bars in the late 80s. Family was in the music business before this. To say I have heard hundreds of covers of this song is an understatement. It's flat out a good song. Even when done poorly. Chris S's version flat out owns this song. It never gets old. I put it in with my old motown song list of just pure good swaying feel songs.
"Tennessee Whiskey" is a country song written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove. It was originally recorded by American country music artist David Allan Coe for his album of the same name Tennessee Whiskey, whose version peaked at number 77 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1981.[1] George Jones' 1983 version of the song was included on his album Shine On, and reached number 2 on the Hot Country Singles chart.
OF COURSE CHRIS'S VERSION HAS GONE TO #1 SEVERAL TIMES PLATINUM WITH OVER 1/2 A BILLION VIEWS ON LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M 64 YEARS OLD HAVING ENJOYED DAC'S & GEORGE'S VERSIONS BUT THEY DON'T HOLD A CANDLE TO THIS OUT OF THIS WORLD VERSION BY THE ONE & ONLY CHRIS STAPLETON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@mikebeasley6447 I hate when people make this comparison. You're really talking about apples and oranges here. Chris's version is bluesy and shows off his vocal range, where as George Jones gives it a more gentler and understated vibe. I appreciate them both for what they are. I've never listened to Coe's version much, so I can't really comment on it.
He defies genre, honestly, because he has a ton of influences, but he's officially classified as country. It just depends on which song you hit if it's straight up country or not. So happy you did this one! Even if you don't react to it, check out the version live from Austin City Limits, that's his wife on harmony. He's even better live! (Just saw him in concert last week - FANTASTIC!) Next: "I Was Wrong," also live from Austin City Limits, there's a wicked guitar solo at the end that's not on the studio version. And his cover of Metallica's, "Nothing Else Matters," from Blacklist is absolute 🔥🔥🔥! (Sort of Outlaw Country?) If you want Southern Rock Country, try, "Arkansas." That wouldn't be out of place in Lynyrd Skynyrd's catalog. "Devil Always Made Me Think Twice" (upbeat) and "Whiskey and You" (slow and introspective)are both country as it gets.
We'll add a bunch of those to our list. Also, I don't know what it is, but artists tend to bring their A games to Austin City Limits and Mountain Stage.
In my personal opinion, Chris Stapleton has skyrocketed this song. Chris has written most of his songs and they are all a one of a kind. I think when he sings a song he relates to that song in a way that no other can. It says if he’s lived each of the songs that he sings. He has a gift of sounding like he can relate to each song.
One of the best live performances I can think of. The energy, the synchronicity, epic! Tennessee Whiskey / Drink You Away, Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton, CMAs 2015.
Even better live guys. He and his wife kill it! She is the one singing harmony. Their chemistry on stage is undeniable. They are 100% in love and have 5 or 6 kids to prove it. He and his wife, Morgane, do a perfect rendition of Amanda.
😃Love this song, both the vocals and instrumentals are awesome. Appreciate the reaction. Chris is a little bit blues, country, rock and bluegrass. He cannot be catetegorized.
I agree that it's very bluesy. It's actually a cover, it was originally released in the 80's by David Allen Coe. I personally like Stapleton's better but that's just my opinion. If you haven't already, (I didn't go back and check) make sure you react to Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton "Say Something"... but it needs to be the official video because it was a 1 take. I've seen it so many times, and it still gives me chills every time.
Chris Stapleton is even more amazing live! I strongly suggest watching him perform I Was Wrong (Austin City Limits Performance). His guitar playing skills along with his vocals is jaw dropping!!
He sounds as good or better with the live version at Austin City Limits.Went to his concert last weekend and he was awesome.If you get on the Chris train you want be disappointed.His album released this year has some great songs.One about the attacks in Las Vegas and other things that has happened in the US.Title I think is Devil is going to watch you burn!Enjoy watching you guys!
George Jones covered TW in '83, 2 yrs after David Allen Coe wrote and recorded TW. LOVE George Jones cover...his style of singing...pure old school country.
The voice was that of Chris Stapleton and the hot licks on the guitar were also done by Chris. David Allen Coe (You Never Even Called Me by My Name) was the first to record this back in 1981 then George Jones recorded it in 1983 and it went to number 2 on the country charts. However, it took the bluesy country sound of Chris Stapleton to launch this song into the stratosphere. THE Tennessee Whiskey is Jack Daniels which is made in a little town between Nashville and Chattanooga called Lynchburg, Tennessee. It has been made there since 1866 and the town pretty much owes its existence to Jack. Fun Fact: Though Jack Daniels has been distilled in Lynchburg for 150 years, Lynchburg is in a dry county so if you want to actually have a glass of Jack you have to leave the county and go somewhere else.
He has several straight country songs. This one just became his big hit. This was one he used to warm up to. The fans loved it so much, he decided to include it on his debut solo album. The tune is “I’d Rather Go Blind” by Etta James. Someone already mentioned he didn’t write this one and it has been recorded by some of the country OGs. He doesn’t have a bad song. They may not all be country, but they’re damn good. He has a rock album from when he was in the Jompson Brothers band and some killer bluegrass ones from his time with The Steeldrivers.
Chris is actually a very shy guy! So when he's onstage you'll see him looking over at her and she never takes her eyes off of him!! Definitely live performances are better!
Y’all should check out “Drinkin’ Problem” by Midland. Chris is doing a cover here, Tennessee Whiskey was recorded by David Allen Coe originally. 😊☮️🌼♥️
Tennessee Whiskey was written by Dean Dillion. It was recorded by David Allen Coe and also George Jones who had it on his 1983 Record Shine. If you listen to George Jones version, ( and DAC's, you will call it country). Chris Stapletons version is definitely blues. It's amazing how one song can make be transposed into different music genres. Enjoy
@@BourbonCountryReacts THE FATHER OF COUNTRY MUSIC IS JIMMIE RODGERS FROM MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI (NOT QUITE THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA BUT PRETTY CLOSE).

Loving both Chris and your reactions. For a more recent song AND to see him both sing & play, please try the 2021 CMA Awards live version of "COLD." Keep up the good stuff guys and here's raising a glass to you both!
This was originally was released in 1981 by David Allen Coe, followed by other country acts before Chris put his spin on it. That might be why its considered under country banner.
Ugh.. Sorry his voice though..🤗 The song "I was wrong" to me is his best..open to interpretation of course. Also his guitar skills are out of this world. BTW, don't know how I found you guys but so glad I did.
I'm obsessed with the song I came acrossed it when I watch the video of Tyson Fury getting a hand rep before the Deontay Wilder 3 fight and it was playing in the locker room
Don't know why, but several times when I click on your video's it's at the end of your reaction & I barely get to see any of it! Why does this keep happening to me on some of your video's & I'm not good at computers & don't know how to see all that I've missed! Damn It! I'm not giving up cause I really enjoy your reactions when I get to watch it all! Don't know why it only happens on Bourbon Country Reacts! I especially wanted to see this one! #TennesseeWhiskey #ChrisStapleton
I think Chris is best served live with just a side of acoustic. "Sometimes I Cry" (Bing Lounge) and "What Are You Listening To?" (Live Acoustic) is pure Stapleton. Speaking of blues and Joe Bonamassa, it might not fit the channel format, but check out "Beth & Joe - I'd Rather Go Blind - Live in Amsterdam" for your personal listening pleasure.
Ok guys, you need to check out the Ken Burns Documentary on PBS, Country Music. Best line I ever heard about it was, country music is ever changing. And at this point in history with the killing of Rock and Roll thank God for country to keep the spirit of Rock alive.
Awesome! Great you guys are doing this! It is a great slow dancing songs, btw! Chris is the bomb! Great singer and song writer from Paintsville Ky! A great song for you would be his "Whiskey and You" He dabbles in the blues, and it's actually a cover, George Jones did it. Great video guys! Keep up the great work!
That was country...The very meaning of country..Country Music represents the country...It has a truth. It is more in the feels. Its everyday life. It's rural, it's truth. Country is stories..It has always had some blues, some rock, some gospel, some western, some jazz etc...incorporated into the sound...Its a variety of types of music, that represents this country and the sounds from different regions..Southern Country is different than western country so to speak..However it's about the story and truth in the story...
So, I stumbled into you guys’ videos via watching Colter Wall reactions. This video the 3rd I’ve seen of yours. I love your channel. You guys are great. But scrolling through your channel, I can see that you’re reacting to the songs your audience is interested in, I’m seeing a lot of country and blues (all good). I’d like to see a video of y’all showing us a song YOU like, maybe show us what we don’t know about Metal.
Chris Stapleton has written at least six #1 hits for other artists. He's written over 30 songs that have charted for others. The background singer in this one and his normal vocal collaborator is his wife Morgane (who on the live version of this was very very pregnant with one of their five children). Morgane co-wrote the Carrie Underwood song "Don't Forget to Remember Me" so she's no slouch either as either a singer or a song writer. There is a video from the CMA's (I think, may be AMA's) with Chris and Justin Timberlake (and Morgane) doing two songs live, Tennessee Whiskey is the first, the second is Justin's song "I Can't Drink You Away". React, don't react, just watch it. You'll understand. I don't think I've heard a bad Chris Stapleton song or performance.
"Country" means our Country..Its real music from USA and it incorporates all genres and is called Country Rock, Country Blues, Country Folk, Country Blue Grass, Country Gospels, Country Pop etc.. Thats country...The songs must have a story, some acoustics or blend of traditional instruments along with the electrics... Yes it's Blues, it's Country Blues, and the blues have always been a part of Country music..
Guys, what your learning is that country kids were raised hearing classic country like Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash out in the garage while dad was turning wrenches on his old hot rod and pop, Motown and blues in the car with mom while she was going to the store or running us to ball games. Then we were growing up in the era of 70s and 80s classic rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd and AC/DC. These are the types of music that shaped country music of today.
@@BourbonCountryReacts well you could check out an old classic by Waylon Jennings call “don’t you think this outlaw hit done got out of hand” this is old tradition shit and it’s still great.
As always, a great reaction!! I think you would absolutely love “People are Crazy” by Billy Currington. Great storytelling song- great ending. Thanks for all y’all do.
@@BourbonCountryReacts thanks guys!! I figured after “Alysa Lies” and “Skin” y’all needed a pick me up!! Lol. Keep on doin what you do! Great channel!!
Hi guys, I’m a new sub and would like for you fellas to react to Home Free’s version of Bless the Broken Road or One Man Band. Both are beautifully done. Chris Stapleton is one of my favorites also. Great job, fellas. 🎼🎶🦋🎵
Thanks for the love and support you show me its f******** mental would you love to text my roam number? just to talk to you more. (Six two Nine two two two Five Eight Nine six ). I’ll like to talk to you better...
Believe itr or not - this is a cover of a David Allen Coe song from 1983 - DAC's version is pure country while Chris added his touchg. George Jones also recorded this song but Chris took it to #1!!!!
I just saw this and liked your Reaction. I recently found out about a 2013 Live video of his, called "Sometimes I Cry" and man if that don't get your feels, nothing will. And for those who don't hear the blues in his songs, are not listening. Thx for the React.
You need to listen to chris Stapleton and justin Timberlake at the cma awards please watch that it is absolutely amazing. Please please watch it. Soooooo good
Levon Helm in the movie The Last Walt's, Levon Helm of the band, the interviewer going to movie they would do interviews during Amy tween music and Levon telling the guy you know Bluegrass Country Blues folk all down around at Delta and the guy says what do you call that and you look so deadpan says rock and roll. Country is actually a form of the Blues and which is different type of music behind the journey it's a story just like in blues I think one of the reasons the music of the 60s and 70s especially the classic rock is the most downloaded music daily for Mega years is because it told such awesome stories
I MET CHRIS'S MUSIC THROUGH a reaction video last summer and now own 3 of his CD's and the only reason Tim Mcgraw is still my fav is purely sentimental. Chris's voice is the best. Choose any Chris song, but the only story vid by him is Fire Away" Official. REally gand be sure to roll to the end for the PSA Hotline #.
Need to look at his Austin City Limits performances of a lot of the older songs. Also check out Either Way live. There is an acoustic version on he Charlie Rose show that is good.
Check out his Austin City Limits performance!It sounds so bluesy because I’d Rather Go Blind by blues legend Etta James is the inspiration for the arrangement.
What’s goin on yall, so I have 2 artists y’all need /have to check out and these are good ol Texas country boys. One song “Whiskey Myers-broken window serenade” these guys are easy Texas boys that play a lot of southern rock and a lot of country, they are similar to skynyrd to me this song is an awesome song. The other is “Cody Jinks-all it cost me was everything” lots of steel guitar in this one, Cody is from Denton Texas and actually had a metal band before he got into the independent Texas country scene but while playing the Texas red dirt scene he just started a new natal band called Caned by Nod. Y’all check em out!

@@cathybrookeburt2616 November 4th, 2015 CMA Awards. Just sayin'
@@esmom1896 yup, typo. Fat fingers. LOL
Stapleton is literally one of those guys that people always say “ man, he could sing the phone book and make it sound good.” In this case, it is absolutely true.
Agreed. I think the first person I heard that statement about was Karen Carpenter. Which is also true.
So true!
And in several different genres, with just about anybody on Earth.
Chris Stapleton is also the guitarist playing the bluesy lead runs.
Good info! And those runs sound great.
For the record, country singers are actually influenced by many genres. Those influences can't help but creep in. And, you might be surprised, but lots of country singers have a soulful sound.
We're definitely learning this is true.
Really should watch him and Justin Timberlake sing this and JT Drink You Away 2015 CMA Awards
haha, I think we're going to have to do that, because, I'm having such a hard time imagining JT singing country.
The live performance of Chris and Justin Timberlake in the CMAs is the best live awards show performance ever.
We have a LOT of requests for that. We'll add another vote.
100%
Josh Turners song "Your Man" was written by Chris Stapleton. It's a great song and I love Josh Turners voice SO much. You should add it to the list if it's not on there!
There's video of Chris singing it too and I actually prefer his version!
I don't know if it is or not. If it isn't, Dustin will add it. - Keith

Welcome to the channel!
Tennessee Whiskey was written by Dean Dillion. It was recorded by David Allen Coe and also George Jones who had it on his 1983 Record Shine. If you listen to George Jones version, ( and DAC's, you will call it country). Chris Stapletons version is definitely blues. It's amazing how one song can make be transposed into different music genres. Enjoy
One of his newer songs is COLD, another great one is DEATH ROW it will give you chills.
We have a lot of Stapleton on our list already, and we'll add these if they're not there.
Amazing song ! My type of music ! Great video as always !!
We sure enjoyed it.
Hi there! Just subscribed, loved this reaction! It’s blues for sure…. It’s a beautiful song. Chris Stapleton’s voice is untouchable!
Thanks for subbing! -Dustin
I enjoyed his concert so much!! Good reaction.
Jealous. I'd love to see him live. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts it was fantastic. Sounds the same and he had tons of guitars he played.
One thing that must be acknowledged is that Country and Blues we're both born at the same time and relatively the same place.
I know the origins of Blues, but not country. Did Country originate out of the Mississippi delta?
@@BourbonCountryReacts I would say so, as well as the Appalachians.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE? HILLBILLY (MODERN COUNTRY) WAS PERFORMED BY A WHITE MALE WHILE THE BLUES WERE SANG BY A BLACK MALE. BOTH TRAVELLING ON FOOT AS A SOLO ARTIST ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA & MUCH OF THE DEEP SOUTH DRAWING FANS FROM BOTH RACES TO BOTH GENRES!!!!!!!! IN THE 1920'S HILLBILLY ADDED THE STEEL GUITAR & THEN ADDITIONAL STRINGED INSTRUMENTS INCLUDING THE FIDDLE & BANJO WHILE THE BLUES ADDED THE SAXOPHONE & OTHER HORNS!!!!!!
@@BourbonCountryReacts THE FATHER OF COUNTRY MUSIC IS JIMMIE RODGERS FROM MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI (NOT QUITE THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA BUT PRETTY CLOSE).

=) sounds about right,
This is definitely a slow sway whenever song.
We agree.
Blues!!! I said it!!! He is lead guitarist ALSO...BUT you guys have to check out him singing it onstage! Look for that video!
We'll check that out.
Chris Stapleton is a fantastic singer. His wife is singing with him on this song.
Chris Stapleton...❤
Loving both Chris and your reactions. For a more recent song AND to see him both sing & play, please try the 2021 CMA Awards live version of "COLD." Keep up the good stuff guys and here's raising a glass to you both!
Added another vote for that tune and Cheers! -Dustin
This was originally was released in 1981 by David Allen Coe, followed by other country acts before Chris put his spin on it. That might be why its considered under country banner.
Chris is a beast on a guitar
He has excellent phrasing, and seems to be able to rip through blues scales quite well. - Keith
Ugh.. Sorry his voice though..🤗 The song "I was wrong" to me is his best..open to interpretation of course. Also his guitar skills are out of this world. BTW, don't know how I found you guys but so glad I did.
We'll add "I was wrong" to our list.
And we're glad you found us too!
Lol me before you start the song. "They're gonna say this isn't country but blues but they're gonna love it anyways!" 😆😂
Nailed it. :D
I'm obsessed with the song I came acrossed it when I watch the video of Tyson Fury getting a hand rep before the Deontay Wilder 3 fight and it was playing in the locker room
He crosses genres and his voice is unlike any other.
We're finding a lot of country musicians cross genres. We like it!
Don't know why, but several times when I click on your video's it's at the end of your reaction & I barely get to see any of it! Why does this keep happening to me on some of your video's & I'm not good at computers & don't know how to see all that I've missed! Damn It! I'm not giving up cause I really enjoy your reactions when I get to watch it all! Don't know why it only happens on Bourbon Country Reacts! I especially wanted to see this one! #TennesseeWhiskey #ChrisStapleton
Charlie Rich "Behind closed doors" or "Most Beautiful Girl" won't disappoint!
We'll add both to our list.
I think Chris is best served live with just a side of acoustic. "Sometimes I Cry" (Bing Lounge) and "What Are You Listening To?" (Live Acoustic) is pure Stapleton.
Speaking of blues and Joe Bonamassa, it might not fit the channel format, but check out "Beth & Joe - I'd Rather Go Blind - Live in Amsterdam" for your personal listening pleasure.
True BLUE Kentucky boy! We be very proud!
Ok guys, you need to check out the Ken Burns Documentary on PBS, Country Music. Best line I ever heard about it was, country music is ever changing. And at this point in history with the killing of Rock and Roll thank God for country to keep the spirit of Rock alive.
We'll check that out, as long as it won't spoil songs for us.
Glad you guys liked the song... he does have a beautiful voice...
Dude can blast. - Keith
Awesome! Great you guys are doing this! It is a great slow dancing songs, btw! Chris is the bomb! Great singer and song writer from Paintsville Ky! A great song for you would be his "Whiskey and You" He dabbles in the blues, and it's actually a cover, George Jones did it. Great video guys! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! And we'll add "Whiskey and You" to our list.
That was country...The very meaning of country..Country Music represents the country...It has a truth. It is more in the feels. Its everyday life. It's rural, it's truth. Country is stories..It has always had some blues, some rock, some gospel, some western, some jazz etc...incorporated into the sound...Its a variety of types of music, that represents this country and the sounds from different regions..Southern Country is different than western country so to speak..However it's about the story and truth in the story...
So, I stumbled into you guys’ videos via watching Colter Wall reactions. This video the 3rd I’ve seen of yours. I love your channel. You guys are great. But scrolling through your channel, I can see that you’re reacting to the songs your audience is interested in, I’m seeing a lot of country and blues (all good). I’d like to see a video of y’all showing us a song YOU like, maybe show us what we don’t know about Metal.
Hmmm. Interesting idea. I'll talk it over with Dustin. - Keith
He wrote songs for everyone then 1 day his wife said you need to sing your songs and that's how cris became a 1 country artist
You have to listen to his live performances! Even better believe it or not, lol. Check out his cover of the Allman brothers Whipping post!
Covering the Allman brothers is ambitious. But we'll add that to our list.
@@BourbonCountryReacts oh you won't be sorry! lol
@@BourbonCountryReacts they were in the audience and the lead guitarist was playing!
Chris Stapleton has written at least six #1 hits for other artists. He's written over 30 songs that have charted for others. The background singer in this one and his normal vocal collaborator is his wife Morgane (who on the live version of this was very very pregnant with one of their five children). Morgane co-wrote the Carrie Underwood song "Don't Forget to Remember Me" so she's no slouch either as either a singer or a song writer. There is a video from the CMA's (I think, may be AMA's) with Chris and Justin Timberlake (and Morgane) doing two songs live, Tennessee Whiskey is the first, the second is Justin's song "I Can't Drink You Away". React, don't react, just watch it. You'll understand. I don't think I've heard a bad Chris Stapleton song or performance.
None of that is surprising to us.
The Live version is more spectacular!❤❤
Definitely check out the live version at the grand ole Opry. If this one blew your mind, the live version will melt your mind.
I'll take a look at that off-channel. - Keith
"Country" means our Country..Its real music from USA and it incorporates all genres and is called Country Rock, Country Blues, Country Folk, Country Blue Grass, Country Gospels, Country Pop etc.. Thats country...The songs must have a story, some acoustics or blend of traditional instruments along with the electrics...
Yes it's Blues, it's Country Blues, and the blues have always been a part of Country music..
Guys, what your learning is that country kids were raised hearing classic country like Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash out in the garage while dad was turning wrenches on his old hot rod and pop, Motown and blues in the car with mom while she was going to the store or running us to ball games. Then we were growing up in the era of 70s and 80s classic rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd and AC/DC. These are the types of music that shaped country music of today.
I would assume so. Curiously, we're not getting a lot of requests for those OGs.
@@BourbonCountryReacts well you could check out an old classic by Waylon Jennings call “don’t you think this outlaw hit done got out of hand” this is old tradition shit and it’s still great.
We'll put that on our list. I think both Dustin and I have a personal interest in learning the OGs, even though that isn't the most popular stuff.
@@BourbonCountryReacts I have an extensive list of the old stuff for you any time you want it.
About mid-October, I may hit you up.
The reason they called it country is because the first person to sing it was George Jones and it was written for George Straight by Dean Dillon
I know you are blown away
As always, a great reaction!! I think you would absolutely love “People are Crazy” by Billy Currington. Great storytelling song- great ending. Thanks for all y’all do.
That ones on the list, I've added a tally.
Thanks for watching and keep the suggestions coming! -Dustin
@@BourbonCountryReacts thanks guys!! I figured after “Alysa Lies” and “Skin” y’all needed a pick me up!! Lol. Keep on doin what you do! Great channel!!
Hi guys, I’m a new sub and would like for you fellas to react to Home Free’s version of Bless the Broken Road or One Man Band. Both are beautifully done. Chris Stapleton is one of my favorites also. Great job, fellas. 🎼🎶🦋🎵
I think we've had a few requests for those. We'll add your votes to our list.
Thanks for the love and support you show me its f******** mental would you love to text my roam number? just to talk to you more.
(Six two Nine two two two Five Eight Nine six ). I’ll like to talk to you better...
Believe itr or not - this is a cover of a David Allen Coe song from 1983 - DAC's version is pure country while Chris added his touchg. George Jones also recorded this song but Chris took it to #1!!!!
I just saw this and liked your Reaction. I recently found out about a 2013 Live video of his, called "Sometimes I Cry" and man if that don't get your feels, nothing will. And for those who don't hear the blues in his songs, are not listening. Thx for the React.
I'll add that one to the list. -Dustin
@@BourbonCountryReacts Sounds good. Thx
Oh I’m sure there are a lot of Chris Stapleton Tennessee Whiskey Babies running around now days lol .
hmmm.... A safe bet.
You need to listen to chris Stapleton and justin Timberlake at the cma awards please watch that it is absolutely amazing. Please please watch it. Soooooo good
Listen to Chris Stapleton, Arkansas.
His best show is live at ACL. He pleads the guitar 🎸
The live version with Justin Timberlake will blow your minds.
Great reaction. Please check out Fool Me Again, it is a younger Chris filmed live, it is a phenomenal performance.
Added. -Dustin
Levon Helm in the movie The Last Walt's, Levon Helm of the band, the interviewer going to movie they would do interviews during Amy tween music and Levon telling the guy you know Bluegrass Country Blues folk all down around at Delta and the guy says what do you call that and you look so deadpan says rock and roll. Country is actually a form of the Blues and which is different type of music behind the journey it's a story just like in blues I think one of the reasons the music of the 60s and 70s especially the classic rock is the most downloaded music daily for Mega years is because it told such awesome stories
You guys rock!
Great guys, enjoying your channel!
Thanks!
I MET CHRIS'S MUSIC THROUGH a reaction video last summer and now own 3 of his CD's and the only reason Tim Mcgraw is still my fav is purely sentimental. Chris's voice is the best. Choose any Chris song, but the only story vid by him is Fire Away" Official. REally gand be sure to roll to the end for the PSA Hotline #.
Chris definitely has an amazing voice. Our first reaction to him was a Steeldrivers tune that just blew us away.
You need to react to the live version at the Cma’s with Justin Timberlake. It is awesome.
Need to look at his Austin City Limits performances of a lot of the older songs.
Also check out Either Way live. There is an acoustic version on he Charlie Rose show that is good.
What did you guys think of his Anthem at the Super Bowl if you watched it? Can y’all do a react to it?
E chris does a great cover of " Its a man's world".
Check out his Austin City Limits performance!It sounds so bluesy because I’d Rather Go Blind by blues legend Etta James is the inspiration for the arrangement.
Spoiler alert! - This one blew us away: czcams.com/video/cBbhzc8PIZo/video.html
@@BourbonCountryReacts he did Tennessee Whiskey there too!
@@lisazaccardimeunier8378 we’ll need to check that out off channel since we’ve reacted to that tune already. Thanks for the tip!
I'm a little late to the game but blue note is bottled in memphis. The juke joint and crossroads are both excellent.
I was just in Memphis this weekend, and didn't make it to either place. - Keith
More CS please! Try live performances, I Was Wrong,!
It's on our list. We'll add another vote, and note to look for the live version.
U should listen to the only a capella country group out there. They have a massive loyal fan following. Try their cover of my church by Marin Morris.
George Jones done this song first but Chris Stapleton has made it his own.
Check out live version. Mercy!!
What’s goin on yall, so I have 2 artists y’all need /have to check out and these are good ol Texas country boys. One song “Whiskey Myers-broken window serenade” these guys are easy Texas boys that play a lot of southern rock and a lot of country, they are similar to skynyrd to me this song is an awesome song. The other is “Cody Jinks-all it cost me was everything” lots of steel guitar in this one, Cody is from Denton Texas and actually had a metal band before he got into the independent Texas country scene but while playing the Texas red dirt scene he just started a new natal band called Caned by Nod. Y’all check em out!
We'll add those to our list.
That was fun. I could definitely become an alcoholic listening to that song. Chris can sing and since I liked it maybe it isn't country! Ha
We're learning that Stapleton bends a lot of genres. I think, regardless, it's a good song.
This is a great song but it was also originally sung by George Jones. You should check his version out sometime.
"rock, metel fans" should jump right to the Jompson brothers, which was Chris's rock band long before anyone knew he was.
We'll check that out off-channel. Thanks for the info!
U guys should react to say something by chris Stapleton
We'll add it to our list.
Jack Daniel's Gentlemen's Jack is the BEST WHISKEY EVER MADE! I'm a Tennessean so I'm a little bias! LOL
Have you tried a Jack Daniels Single Barrel Select?
@@BourbonCountryReacts Yes Sir! I've tried them all. Gentleman's Jack is the best imo. It's so smooth! Love it!!
If you love Chris Stapleton ( and I do), you should check out Marc Broussard "Home".
Blues and country are cousins with the story telling and the sound. Difference between Memphis and Nashville. They cross over a lot.
Some of the bluesy country songs you hear will only have hints of blues and some are a bit more overt like this one.
Seems like there's a huge amount of genre crossover in Country. We hear it in almost every song.
