That drummer and bass player are perfection! Notice how they both watching and listening to Chris for cues and instantly adjust their play! Fabulous !!!!!
FYI, Pop "What are you listening to", "When the Stars Come out", "I want Love", "Say Something" Country "Whiskey an You", "Was it 26", "Nobody to Blame", "Tennessee Whiskey", "Traveler" many, many other songs Blues "I was wrong", "Sometimes I Cry" Bluegrass "Blue Side of the Mountain" and most Steeldrivers songs Rock "Don't Let me Down", "Midnight Train to Memphis" Brilliant singer/songwriter/guitarist!
There are a few artists, JUST A FEW, that send chills up the back of my neck when they start to sing as they play guitar, Chris Stapleton is one of them, not much left to say❣️🇨🇦
There is so much to love about this song. So bluesy, so powerful. The drummer and bass player are clearly very talented as well, watching Chris very closely for what's coming next. The more I hear Chris Stapleton, the more I appreciate what a multi-faceted talent he is. Another amazing analysis. Thank you Fil.
Oh my WORD! I pulled you up to ask you to analyze this song and here it is! Un-freakin’-believable how good this man is. You feel this music in every muscle of your body. Lordy. You just gotta close your eyes and feel it. Thanks Fil. (And you related it to Doobies Long Train Running-another favorite.) you add another level to my appreciation of music.
Chis Stapleton is the epedemy for Country music, the true country artist with one of the best voices ever, guitar shredder, songwriter. Big fan of him, I have all his music. I love the way the drummer looks at Chris and smiles at him like saying you are jamming and I'm having a blast playing back here. Awesome clip, thanks Fil!!
Chris Stapleton is an artist that you can't classify in any one genre. He has so many influences in his playing and style that he just puts out there that makes him unique, a singularity. That's what makes him so intriguing, and makes his music so good. Thanks Fil, for doing all you do, I really enjoy all your reviews and just the personality you bring to us!
I like the way Derek Mixon, the drummer, follows Chris' lead and how he lets what Chris is doing guide his adjustments. J.T. Cure's bass playing is a great addition as well.
Chris was also the lead singer for a very good group called The Steeldrivers. If you love his voice check out a song he did with them called Blue side of the Mountain . Thank you again Phil for for your thoughtful analysis.
Have seen Chris Stapleton twice in concert, amazing performer.. I can't listen to the current "country" radio, but he is incredible & a true artist- Singer, guitarist & songwriter.
Chris says that he was forced to step up his guitar playing because they kept losing band members. The 3 of them, along with his wife, are the core. On the road or in the studio.
Its nice to see someone who really paid their dues achieve success. People who never listen to country music like Chris Stapleton. His a appeal seems to be universal.
@@wingsofpegasus I know this in an old video but I figured you wouldn’t see a comment unless I replied. Would love to see you analysis his latest single “starting over”. Not sure if there is a live video but his official music video is like a live setting. It’s an amazing tune. Love your channel.
Great one Fil! Hard to believe that Chris was working only as a songwriter and giving his great songs away while he was sitting on that enormous talent! I'm glad he is doing his own thing now. I love some of his other videos as well where he is harmonizing with his wife. I think we will be seeing a lot of Chris Stapleton for many years to come.
OH ! So glad you are doing this one. That raspy voice is so big today and he has it. He is a song writer as well...so under appreciated. Finally coming into his own....bout time I say!!! He's great....Thank you Fil !! :)
Chris Stapleton is really awesome! Uses his songwriting, voice and instrument as one to deliver music the way it should be with emotion and passion. Love it when he and his wife perform together too! ✌🏻😎🎸🎼
I'm such a fan of his and over here stateside he is huge, he wrote for other groups and then he and his wife decided let's do it for us. His wife also has an unbelievable voice and it's dynamite with the two of them together, really good analysis! Try( Sometimes I Cry ) & ( Tennessee Whiskey ).
I’ve been following him for a little while now... he’s brilliant! Killer voice and his guitar playing is unique and adventurous! Really suits his vocals and musical style! So talented! Cool analysis Fil! Cheers Mario!😀🤘🤘
Love Stapleton turned me into a schoolgirl after watching him play the first time a couple years ago. Best voice and lyrics going. Thanks Fil for turning some people on. Never watched a reaction video in my life but I just had to see other people's reactions to him just to see if it was just me
Another great analysis video, Fil!! it's very refreshing 2 watch someone as talented as u r being able 2 recognize and acknowledge talent in other artists. Ur a real class act in my book😀
Absolutely love your reviews and professional analysis and breakdowns. You are a gifted musician yourself and your reviews are always spot on, pointing out things that others of us may not have noticed. Thank you Phil! Love ya, Man!
He's been this eat up with talent for years....what TOOK us so long?! So happy he's finally being recognized for the amazing singer/song-writer/musician that he is. Loved the analysis...always informative!
Chris is a perfect example of a singer vocalizing from the bottom of his soul. He makes you feel that he's lived every lyric from every song that he sings.
Thank you ... again, Fil. SO glad you love and respect Chris Stapleton's gritty and unique abilities. Tennessee Whisky is an amazing song, and when I heard his James Brown tribute with It's a Man's World, I was blown away. He is so good. No. He is SO great.
One of my favorite artists of all time! He's a phenomenal songwriter, that's how he made his living for many years. I love his guitar playing, he's fantastic but somehow understated. And that voice, one of the best voices that I personally have ever heard. It stirs my soul. I still feel that he's more of a soul/blues singer than country. But to me, he transcends all genres. He's just an unbelievably talented man. And so humble. Check him out on " Say Something" with Justin Timberlake. " Sometimes I Cry " really showcases his phenomenal singing ability. It will literally blow you away. " Death Row" is awesome too.
We have open mic night here too, and I'm one of those crazy old hippie chicks that will sing anything I like which is mostly blues, southern rock, classic rock and I sing alot of songs recorded by male vocalists. That seems to unhinge a lot of people, not that I care. I sing what I love. But if I were lucky enough to be in a venue with Chris Stapleton, I'd be wanting to sing WITH him, not before or after him. 🎤🎙️🎸. But I'm picking up what you're setting down 😉
I should've posted... "The smile😆on your face tells the whole story" great music and analysis... Thank you Fil once again for teaching me a thing or two or three about music,musicians & their instruments 😎🎸
It seems like the older I get, the more I love simplicity in music. It's like you just get more feel and power when you have spaces of air and not a wall of sound. Like in this video, when you really listen you realize that there are so much going on musically in that song, that it's nearly hard to follow and it's only 3 musicans playing. 😍 I get kind of the same vibe from some of Larkin Poe's "Tip o' The Hat" videos. Stripped down songs, but there just so much feel and soul blowing out of the speakers. 👍
Just found out about Chris a couple of years ago. I have loved his music and raw gritty voice ever since! He reminds me of the classic country artists like Waylon, Kris and Willie! He has been a songwriter for years before stepping out in the limelight so to speak and showing the country music fans what he can do as an artist in his own right.....Thanks Fil!!...✌❤🤘
You might really love a good friend of Chris', Marc Broussard, he's the Swamp Soul, the Bayou Blues version of Chris, out of Louisiana. If you listen to any, listen to his 'Home', the video from 2004. Followed by his 'Cry to Me'.
Really appreciate that before you do an analysis video that you do some research and incorporate that information into your presentation. It's also nice to see when you are really enjoying a performer like this one. I'm sure that makes it a lot easier for you. Keep up the great work!
What I wouldn't pay to hear Chris Stapleton in a collaboration with Elvis Costello! Two remarkable singers, two FANTASTIC songwriters, and two guitar players vastly underappreciated for their axe work due to their greatness at the first two.
I know you did this long ago, just catching up. I have seen Chris in concert 3 times I believe then Covid hit. He is probably my favorite since Skynyrd. I have seen a lot of great bands Kansas, Rush, Jerhro Tull, Robert Cray, then people like James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Bruce Hornsby , Bonnie Raitt ,Elton John etc but seeing Chris live is a whole new experience. Not sure how to describe it, almost like a religious experience better than any drug. I grew up in 60's-70's so... He has no bad songs, most are kick ass & slow ones like Broken Halos & Fire Away make you weep, the others bring such joy. I always feel like I am in the presence of real greatness, one of most humble and genuinely nice guys ever. His wife Morgane could be a star herself, voice like an Angel but can throw that sassy vibe out too. Her harmonies w/Chris are amazing. I recommend you check out either her doing you are my sunshine where she sings lead & Chris back up or a great gospel tune Farther Along with Leslie Jordan, they trade lines & Chris puts his stamp on it as well.
Great analysis and break down again Fil. cool performance by all three! always love the vast ray of artists and bands you feature on your channel, may you have a trouble free Livestream Tues/Wednesday.
I think it’s worth mentioning, if you look at the product that Nashville has been putting out for the last few decades it’s all squeaky clean mass produced GQ models who can’t play, sing or write. Chris’ looks probably aren’t very marketable in their eyes but his talent outshines any of those other so called super stars that have come out of Nashville. His success has been so refreshing to witness! Thanks Fil!
I just recently discovered Chris Stapleton's music. I'm not a huge country fan, but I just love his vocal abilty and the tone of his voice. Not to mention the guy can play guitar pretty good too. He's become one of my favorite country artists. He does an incredible job on the song Tennessee Whiskey. If you ever get the time, it's an awesome version to listen to, which I think is better than the original. Thanks for the great video, Fil. Hope this copyright stuff doesn't get anymore crazy than it already has.👍😎🎸🎶
I keep watching because you (FiL) keep it real and appreciate these country dudes that are so under appreciated these days. Every one thinks shredding is cool, gets on my nerves.
I got to give you props, man... I'm old and you look pretty young to me but you've turned me on to some cool shit on this channel. Also, as a Deadhead, I caught up with one of your videos talking about Jerry's style and skill and you kicked in comments about aspects of the band that I never heard articulated that way and as a deep listener I admire quite a bit. Keep on keepin on...Rock!
I don’t know you, your band, or your channel, but I appreciate everything you said. Chris’s voice is spectacular, and his playing is just as awesome. I’ve always said that the truly great singers have voices like an orchestra, where they fill in all the spots that their band doesn’t play and you end up with a tapestry of sound and feeling where lesser singers give a thread or two. Chris and Sade are two that come to mind right now. I don’t know if you have looked at his performance of “Either Way” on the Charlie Rose show, but it fits in with your comment about not needing to play, letting the silence in. I’ve always felt that great dancers are like that also. They know when to stop moving which contrasts so perfectly to their movements that it is a movement of its own. Good job, and good video.
Excellent performance by one of the current Country stars: the voice, the Jazzmaster, the mastery of performance dynamics. Thank You, Dear Fil. Well done!
Man I been waiting for you to do this one Fil! EVERYONE one else does Chris Stapleton analysis focuses on his singing alone. About time somebody said hey look his guitar work is on point to!Chris is such a bluesy player to me.
Great review of the super talented Chris Stapleton 🎸🎸..really enjoyed your explanation of his voice range and his playing 👍👍.. glad the vid made it through ✌🏾
It's good but overplayed and not really chris's song. He didn't write it and the backing track is from etta james. Fil has such a great musical mind that it would be better to get his take on chris's originals
This one is great as always with Chris but please check out his performance of COLD at the CMA's this year. It's his best live performance ever in my opinion. Simply perfection !
Hey Fil. I’m an old guy that grew up in the 70’s and being from that era; always loved guitar. I don’t play but I tried some, but absolutely love it. I’ve learned a lot from you and appreciate your take on all the different styles of playing. Once I read someone asked Eddie VanHalen who was the best player, and he said “ there is no best player; only different players. Being a great guitarist as you are I love your explanations because you know how it is achieved. I could never figure out why Stevie Ray Vaughn had this unique sound. You explained how he played with these heavy 13 or 14 gauge strings because of his hand strength. That was so great to have that explained, I immediately understood. You are a great singer as well as a great guitarist. So thank you for being open to all styles and appreciateive of other great players and genres. I love Vince Gill, Chris Stapleton; Roy Clark; Grand Funk Railroad and so many others and you. Thanks again my friend
I’m a new subscriber and I enjoy your reactions. I’ve never been much of a fan of country but what I like about Chris Stapleton is his voice can carry over easily into different genres; rock, soul, blues and country. He did an amazing cover of Man’s World by James Brown, performing it with the Shadowboxers, a concert he was attending, and they asked him to come up and perform with him. He was also in a rock band called the Jompson Brothers. I also highly recommend you check out Canadian singer Colter Wall and in particular, the brewery sessions version of The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie. Sleeping on the Blacktop is another good one.
Fil, you are so right, first time I heard Texas Blues at age 12 maybe , I thought, I can hear all the notes they are not playing, between the guitar breaks!
Hey Fil , I think you must be the last CZcams video reviewer to show his music 😅 ....and that's good cuz you have your own style plus you can play ( unlike the other 90% of music "reviewers " who have no idea what real music is.) That's why I'm here every night Fil because you always have something good to say and I always go away feeling I've learned something I didn't no about music before I came here. So keep up the great work & AWESOME playing/singing & songwriting. Best of luck mate.... "ROCK"
Chris is one of thoes once in a generation talents. He has been writing hit songs for many years. More recently people have discovering his god given voice. Iam 63 yo and its one of the best voices of all time. Check out some performances with just him and acoustic guitar. Great, great
My granddaughter sees you in your thumbnails and immediately says "Hello..Fil here from Wings of Pegasus "..first time she said it she then asks if "Pegasus are real and does he have some?"..lol. great video as well
I have said it before, but it never ceases to amaze me how much you appreciate good artists regardless of the genre. Good job man!!
💙💙💙💙💙
That drummer and bass player are perfection! Notice how they both watching and listening to Chris for cues and instantly adjust their play! Fabulous !!!!!
He can sing rock, blues, country, bluegrass and pop. So versatile. What a voice!
👍
FYI,
Pop "What are you listening to", "When the Stars Come out", "I want Love", "Say Something"
Country "Whiskey an You", "Was it 26", "Nobody to Blame", "Tennessee Whiskey", "Traveler" many, many other songs
Blues "I was wrong", "Sometimes I Cry"
Bluegrass "Blue Side of the Mountain" and most Steeldrivers songs
Rock "Don't Let me Down", "Midnight Train to Memphis"
Brilliant singer/songwriter/guitarist!
There are a few artists, JUST A FEW, that send chills up the back of my neck when they start to sing as they play guitar, Chris Stapleton is one of them, not much left to say❣️🇨🇦

You just gotta close your eyes and feel it. Thanks Fil. (And you related it to Doobies Long Train Running-another favorite.) you add another level to my appreciation of music.
You know he's a great artist when you get goosebumps. It would be cool if you did more of him
Chris rocks with 5 Grammy awards and 7 ACM awards and 10 CMA awards , yeah I'd say he's making an impact on music .
👍
Fil. I just love your appreciation for music and your analysis is always spot on and so respectful of the artist. Music is best when shared.
☺
I knew you would like him. The man played in every dive there is. It took him awhile but he has been well received. Thanks Fil
Chis Stapleton is the epedemy for Country music, the true country artist with one of the best voices ever, guitar shredder, songwriter. Big fan of him, I have all his music. I love the way the drummer looks at Chris and smiles at him like saying you are jamming and I'm having a blast playing back here. Awesome clip, thanks Fil!!

No problem!
I like the way Derek Mixon, the drummer, follows Chris' lead and how he lets what Chris is doing guide his adjustments. J.T. Cure's bass playing is a great addition as well.
Man what an amazing musician. Old school sound with a unique and soulful jazz expression. Love his voice! Love the groove on this one.
👍
Chris was also the lead singer for a very good group called The Steeldrivers. If you love his voice check out a song he did with them called Blue side of the Mountain . Thank you again Phil for for your thoughtful analysis.
Have seen Chris Stapleton twice in concert, amazing performer.. I can't listen to the current "country" radio, but he is incredible & a true artist- Singer, guitarist & songwriter.

You would like a song, sometimes I cry. Just him and an acoustic. Amazing.
Chris says that he was forced to step up his guitar playing because they kept losing band members. The 3 of them, along with his wife, are the core. On the road or in the studio.
Its nice to see someone who really paid their dues achieve success. People who never listen to country music like Chris Stapleton. His a appeal seems to be universal.
Well he aint exactly country.
This song proves that Chris Stapleton is capable of some wicked guitar playing...
He’s NOT COUNTRY! Blues, Blues Rock, Gritty Americana, soulful
I agree, he is blues to the bone. Epitomizes “country, rhythm & blues,” but not what my mind thinks of as country. He is killer!
@@5150pbCountry soul. He started in bluegrass basically.
Finally, he's where he belongs...... Being appreciated by Fil, and everyone else who may not have know HOW great!
☺
Need to have a Stapleton dare, listen to him without getting a "stank" face...can't do it!
@@wingsofpegasus I know this in an old video but I figured you wouldn’t see a comment unless I replied. Would love to see you analysis his latest single “starting over”. Not sure if there is a live video but his official music video is like a live setting. It’s an amazing tune. Love your channel.

OH ! So glad you are doing this one. That raspy voice is so big today and he has it. He is a song writer as well...so under appreciated. Finally coming into his own....bout time I say!!! He's great....Thank you Fil !! :)
Chris Stapleton is really awesome! Uses his songwriting, voice and instrument as one to deliver music the way it should be with emotion and passion. Love it when he and his wife perform together too! ✌🏻😎🎸🎼
👍
Very soulful, his vocal phrasing bobs and weaves brilliantly through those deep minor7 chords......love the guitar🤘🏻
I would suggest an acoustic by him What Are You Listening To? It is really good example of his writing too. He is amazing.
I'm such a fan of his and over here stateside he is huge, he wrote for other groups and then he and his wife decided let's do it for us. His wife also has an unbelievable voice and it's dynamite with the two of them together, really good analysis! Try( Sometimes I Cry ) & ( Tennessee Whiskey ).
I've never heard of Chris & now I'm a fan, great song/sound!
Kathy. Check out sometimes I cry. Just an acoustic and him. Amazing.
@@GS-xt8fu I have subscribed to his YT channel for sure!
You must do "Tennessee Whiskey". Chris at his best for country soul.
Man, he's awesome and has been on my radar for a while...must see him now!! Thank you, sir!
I’ve been following him for a little while now... he’s brilliant! Killer voice and his guitar playing is unique and adventurous! Really suits his vocals and musical style! So talented! Cool analysis Fil! Cheers Mario!😀🤘🤘
This is an excellent observation. Nice job on explaining. It is a perfect example of how well a lead player LISTENS.
Thanks!
Chris Stapleton has the rugged look that matches his incredible voice.
Fil, One of the best parts of your videos is watching your reaction when you’re watching true talent 😊
He is telling a story with those rhythm runs
Love Stapleton turned me into a schoolgirl after watching him play the first time a couple years ago. Best voice and lyrics going. Thanks Fil for turning some people on. Never watched a reaction video in my life but I just had to see other people's reactions to him just to see if it was just me
Thanks!
Chris is from my hometown. He’s a great guy .. same county as Loretta Lynn . My son went to school with him . Love your smile !❤
Wow, equally high quality of the performance and the analysis.
Holy shit. He could just stand on stage and pick. The only word that comes to mind is smooth. Lodie
Another great analysis video, Fil!! it's very refreshing 2 watch someone as talented as u r being able 2 recognize and acknowledge talent in other artists. Ur a real class act in my book😀
Thanks Tina!
Absolutely love your reviews and professional analysis and breakdowns. You are a gifted musician yourself and your reviews are always spot on, pointing out things that others of us may not have noticed. Thank you Phil! Love ya, Man!
Class act and the guy is a brilliant player
When those lips part and that smile comes out you know Fil just heard something he loved
He's been this eat up with talent for years....what TOOK us so long?! So happy he's finally being recognized for the amazing singer/song-writer/musician that he is. Loved the analysis...always informative!
Sandra Smith I’ve loved him from the beginning and so glad so many others have come to love him too.
Thanks Sandra!
Less is more is an important lesson to learn
Chris is a perfect example of a singer vocalizing from the bottom of his soul. He makes you feel that he's lived every lyric from every song that he sings.
Thank you ... again, Fil. SO glad you love and respect Chris Stapleton's gritty and unique abilities. Tennessee Whisky is an amazing song, and when I heard his James Brown tribute with It's a Man's World, I was blown away. He is so good. No. He is SO great.
One of my favorite artists of all time! He's a phenomenal songwriter, that's how he made his living for many years. I love his guitar playing, he's fantastic but somehow understated.

His distortion on guitar sounds like it's coming from the amp and not a pedal. Raw and dirty. So imperfect, wonderful.
I should've posted... "The smile😆on your face tells the whole story" great music and analysis... Thank you Fil once again for teaching me a thing or two or three about music,musicians & their instruments 😎🎸
No problem!
Your beautiful smile when music starting cooking!

Can we also just give that bassist some love? 🙌🏽
Outstanding choice Mr Fil.

Thanks Larry!
The guy can do no wrong
Thank You Again!! We all appreciate you!!!!
You might really love a good friend of Chris', Marc Broussard, he's the Swamp Soul, the Bayou Blues version of Chris, out of Louisiana. If you listen to any, listen to his 'Home', the video from 2004. Followed by his 'Cry to Me'.
Thanks!
Another great voice.
Yes. His “cry to me” cover is magnifique!
Really love his guitar tone and expression and the way he takes his time with the solo.
Love your reviews, 54 years old always wanted to play guitar. Your pushing my desire again.
I really appreciate how you broke that performance down . Very much !!! Great job 😊
I’ve said it before, you are the best to lay it down about a singer or band. Class act, please keep them coming.
Really appreciate that before you do an analysis video that you do some research and incorporate that information into your presentation. It's also nice to see when you are really enjoying a performer like this one. I'm sure that makes it a lot easier for you. Keep up the great work!
No problem!
What I wouldn't pay to hear Chris Stapleton in a collaboration with Elvis Costello! Two remarkable singers, two FANTASTIC songwriters, and two guitar players vastly underappreciated for their axe work due to their greatness at the first two.
Nice pick, Fil. Never heard of this guy but dig it. Man, a Jazzmaster and a message.

I had suggested Tennessee Whiskey and sent FIL a link to it but think he probably chose this one because Chris does more guitar playing in this song.
@@KStewart-th4sk yep...probably why he chose it. Chris sure does do a good version, though!👍😎🎸🎶
Yeah I'm not sure it could get any more crazy!
@@wingsofpegasus I hope it doesn't!

You are a gentlemen and a scholar! You rocked that with so much grace.
One of the best voices ive heard in years. Met Chris, hes a cool, down to earth dude.
I don’t know you, your band, or your channel, but I appreciate everything you said. Chris’s voice is spectacular, and his playing is just as awesome.
I’ve always said that the truly great singers have voices like an orchestra, where they fill in all the spots that their band doesn’t play and you end up with a tapestry of sound and feeling where lesser singers give a thread or two. Chris and Sade are two that come to mind right now.
I don’t know if you have looked at his performance of “Either Way” on the Charlie Rose show, but it fits in with your comment about not needing to play, letting the silence in.
I’ve always felt that great dancers are like that also. They know when to stop moving which contrasts so perfectly to their movements that it is a movement of its own.
Good job, and good video.
Thanks!
Excellent performance by one of the current Country stars: the voice, the Jazzmaster, the mastery of performance dynamics. Thank You, Dear Fil. Well done!
Thanks Samantha!
Man I been waiting for you to do this one Fil! EVERYONE one else does Chris Stapleton analysis focuses on his singing alone. About time somebody said hey look his guitar work is on point to!Chris is such a bluesy player to me.
Thanks!
Great review of the super talented Chris Stapleton 🎸🎸..really enjoyed your explanation of his voice range and his playing 👍👍.. glad the vid made it through ✌🏾
Love Chris Stapleton. Listen to Tennessee whiskey. It's my favorite
Great song.
Gives me chills that song does!
It's good but overplayed and not really chris's song. He didn't write it and the backing track is from etta james. Fil has such a great musical mind that it would be better to get his take on chris's originals
@Fuzzy Butkus yes and the lyrics aren't his either. People wrote it for David allen Coe back in 1981
Stapleton is simply stupendous! Love it!
This one is great as always with Chris but please check out his performance of COLD at the CMA's this year. It's his best live performance ever in my opinion.
Simply perfection !
Hey Fil. I’m an old guy that grew up in the 70’s and being from that era; always loved guitar. I don’t play but I tried some, but absolutely love it. I’ve learned a lot from you and appreciate your take on all the different styles of playing. Once I read someone asked Eddie VanHalen who was the best player, and he said “ there is no best player; only different players. Being a great guitarist as you are I love your explanations because you know how it is achieved. I could never figure out why Stevie Ray Vaughn had this unique sound. You explained how he played with these heavy 13 or 14 gauge strings because of his hand strength. That was so great to have that explained, I immediately understood. You are a great singer as well as a great guitarist. So thank you for being open to all styles and appreciateive of other great players and genres. I love Vince Gill, Chris Stapleton; Roy Clark; Grand Funk Railroad and so many others and you. Thanks again my friend
Thanks Darrell!
I’m a new subscriber and I enjoy your reactions. I’ve never been much of a fan of country but what I like about Chris Stapleton is his voice can carry over easily into different genres; rock, soul, blues and country. He did an amazing cover of Man’s World by James Brown, performing it with the Shadowboxers, a concert he was attending, and they asked him to come up and perform with him. He was also in a rock band called the Jompson Brothers. I also highly recommend you check out Canadian singer Colter Wall and in particular, the brewery sessions version of The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie. Sleeping on the Blacktop is another good one.
Thanks!
Fil, you are so right, first time I heard Texas Blues at age 12 maybe , I thought, I can hear all the notes they are not playing, between the guitar breaks!
Hey Fil , I think you must be the last CZcams video reviewer to show his music 😅 ....and that's good cuz you have your own style plus you can play ( unlike the other 90% of music "reviewers " who have no idea what real music is.) That's why I'm here every night Fil because you always have something good to say and I always go away feeling I've learned something I didn't no about music before I came here. So keep up the great work & AWESOME playing/singing & songwriting. Best of luck mate.... "ROCK"
Thanks!
Chris is one of thoes once in a generation talents. He has been writing hit songs for many years. More recently people have discovering his god given voice. Iam 63 yo and its one of the best voices of all time. Check out some performances with just him and acoustic guitar. Great, great
The Greatest ever SRV ! Would tear this up baby! Rest In Peace ✌️ The Power
You Sir are a talent ! Your knowledge value prompts me to comment as I enjoy 😊 Thanks
Look up "perfect" in the dictionary and Chris' picture is there. Thank you, Music Gods!!
I saw the title of this while clicking on another vid. Took a very frustrating 20 minute to find you again. So glad I did.
Was waiting to see if you would react to this particular track!
My granddaughter sees you in your thumbnails and immediately says "Hello..Fil here from Wings of Pegasus "..first time she said it she then asks if "Pegasus are real and does he have some?"..lol. great video as well
😂
Alright Fil. Your the man
Thanks!
