As someone who’s from the same county as Tyler, it’s the talk of the year when someone even graduates college that’s not UPike so to be a successful musician is freakin huge. Plus he’s also higher’n a hound dog jumps to catch a treed coon
@@RyderOnYT it’s not even that. No matter how used to performing you are, it’s an unexplainable feeling playing in front of just 500 people. Imagine 5,000
Every Professional Artist does that, as to not steal the Spotlight. Childers is good at what he does, but, he is far far far from out doing Chris Stapleton. It was nice for Chris to take the stage with Childers. It gives Tyler more recognition. If Tyler stays as true to his heart and music as Chris is, he may reach Chris's level at some point in his life, it just isn't there yet.
Chris has to be respectful of Tyler adding his voice into his song, I’d say the exact opposite happened, and Chris refrained from having too much input because his voice would totally steal the show.
@@AudibleVisibIe Even to an outsider this song can have a lot of meaning. But for the people from the place where Tyler and Chris came from, this song has layers upon layers of meaning. Now imagine you’re 22 years old with a truck full of your buddies, drunk after the funeral of your best friend, it’s it’s 1am and you’re tearing down 23 headed to Virgie for no good reason but you’re all screaming this song at the top of your lungs the whole way there. Gives it a lot more meaning than just being a catchy tune.
First song of Tyler's I ever heard. Had a buddy send it to me. He said it reminded him of my ma who passed from cancer. Ma had seven sons and that was never enough for her. She took in all our friends too.
I never realized how popular he was until I tried to get a ticket to his show. Sold out in 10 minutes. He doesn't have a bad song on any of his albums in my opinion.
If Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers become a duo, I’m going to be a very happy man. Two incredible artists with songs that speak about life and all of the happiness/ bullshit that comes along with it.
I love both and seen this live, I think their voices are two very different styles and although they sound okay here you can tell Chris is holding it back as to not clash too much with Tyler.
Look at the joy in Chris's eyes when he comes in on the harmony...he is thrilled by this great song and outstanding performer in Tyler! .... GREAT knows GREAT!
This song was made for me, my granny that raised me and all my rowdy friends. She seen no wrong in anyone. She was my world . She was 100 when she passed and although she was with us that long my heart still breaks
Remind me of the exact same thing. I lived with my grandma and us boys were rowdy too but she loved us all the same. Just fuckin cried my eyes out. Lost my grandma at 91 on 5/18/23. Miss her tremendously
God bless the mothers, grandmothers, step moms/grandmas, aunts and more who love their boys (and girls) purely and unconditionally as captured here. Such a beautiful song.❤
@@klyde171 100% agree. Although Chris has written lots of other great songs as well. They can both certainly write. I think I also personally prefer Tyler live vs album stuff. He's got some powerful stuff, and even if you're not a huge fan of country music, his songs can make nearly anyone give them another listen.
Tyler is a quiet man standing with these giants playing his songs and having a blast. He might not be a regular on CMT, but they know he is there and the crowds that come out to listen to him knows who he is. He is not a stranger in the country/folk music circle. Love his down to earth songs....
If there's a god they might be a Kentuckian. We have the best voices, a gorgeous state, our booze and food is delicious and we grow great weed. Our legislature and senators suck, but, goddammit, we are good folks.
God knows what this song means to Tyler, bless his heart. There's a live version when he still has long hair, his smaller band leaves the stage and just Tyler and his guitar and by the end of this song he's standing there crying on stage alone....OMG! I'm telling you, it gets no more real and raw and heart and soul as this adorable young man from the hills of Kentucky.
Here's the story: his best friend in HS was Cody. Cody's grandmother loved and paid attention to his friends. When she passed, Tyler made sure to be there to "lay to rest this mountain beauty."
Shew. When he nodded his head during the modified chorus. Literally made my eyes water. I've known Tyler since middle school and this version got to me lol
The voice Tyler is one of a kind. I can listen to him all day over and over. God be with you on your travels and dont ever stop performing for all us good folks that know your one of the greatest singers of all times. Thank you for all you do. God Bless you .
Tyler had finished his set. And then before Dwight Yoakam started his set, Chris and Tyler came on and did this acoustic version of Follow You To Virgie. I had never heard it live before, I was almost in tears. What a memorable night!
Thanks for posting this Ethan. Growing up our neighbor was like another grandmother to me. She was always my biggest fan with whatever I did. I can still hear her voice "Oh Michael, that is WONDERFUL" She was such a cultured woman, lived in Manhattan for years and worked at the Museum of Natural History and traveled all over. She taught me how to do the NY Times crossword puzzle, which she did everyday until she passed. I remember telling her about a trip to Europe I was going on and she was so exited for me because of all the wonderous things I would see outside of our small town. I never did get to show her the pictures. I live far away now and wasn't home when she passed. Her family didn't do any type of service for her, which was such a shame. She deserved more after the life she lived. This song always makes me think of her and helps me remember her. She was my Virgie. Thanks for writing this Tyler about the wonderful woman in your life and for all of us men that have been fortunate to have wonderful women in our own lives.
Virgie is a town in Kentucky where they laid "to rest this mountain beauty." She was Cody's grandmother, his best friend, and paid a lot of attention to Tyler.
I really appreciate this thanks,I do this once in a while to no how my fans feel about me thanks for your love and support it really means a lot to me and how long have you been my my fans I we like to hear from you.
Wow!!!!!! Lost for words, great song. What a talent this kid is. That's saying something standing next to Chris. Don't look surprised that people love your music. Cheers
I don't understand why Nashville and record labels don't respect TRUE country artist like these gentleman. They only wanna promote people like Morgan Wallen, Luke Bryan, Kane Brown and people like that who are not even country. Luke Bryan use to be country and then he changed to be more popular.
Love this ❤ two of the best that’s come outta these hills in a minute two great Eastern KY musicians playing together singing bout Virgie KY , they’ve stayed true to themselves n proud to be from here
I basically raised my grandsons. They and their friends hung out at my house. I am 79, Stage 4 lung cancer, and my grandson sent me this link and asked that I listen to the words. I guess he loves me and remembers. What a gift at my life's end
@@annajesse2062 How beautiful, you are a blessing on this earth. you did so much for your grandson that he will always hold dear, he must love you very much. God bless you
I absolutely love this v song. I feel the true goodness of the religion in their hearts,- in Tyler's when I first saw him in his only shoes probably slacks too, with mountain dirt on them and I accepted and really loved him as he was and is, I pray he never changed in his heart.
Different premise to the title but This is my favorite song of his and to hear Chris Stapleton sing it with him makes it all the more special! My husband and I met in the Spring of 89" in Ashland, Va. He followed me to Virgie two weeks later and proposed. Three months to the day we met, we got married! Thirty three years,, two grown sons, 7 grandchildren and a daughter n law later; we're still together! ❤️
Congratulations! That's awesome! My husband and I have the longest marriage between our two immediate families! After living away from Va for over 30 years, we moved back to take care of his parents. His Mom, step dad (whom lives in Louisa Co & his Dad whom lives in Quinton. Our sons, daughter n law and two grandchildren live in SC. I don't like it here because I miss our sons and grandchildren. I don't know anyone here.
@@kimberlygrimm7007 Wow. Such a small world. I knew a guy who lived in Louisa (Bumpass). My inlaws lived in Goochland for a while, and most of my family is still in the Richmond area. One son is in Hanover, and the other is in Pensacola, FL, so I understand missing the grandkids! We live at the beach, so we're not too far from our hometown. Congratulations on your 33 years!
A couple of Eastern Kentucky boys doing what they do best. The Appalachian coal fields are producing some of the best singer/songwriter/musicians going. These two plus other artists like Sierra Ferrell and Charles Wesley Godwin are keeping country music fresh and vibrant
This song has such a cool and familiar theme. So powerful. Singing about a friend’s Gramal, not his own, but a friend. It just really shows how important it is to Childers to relate to his fans. Tip if the cap to you Tyler.
In as much as I agree with you that it is a powerful performance, I feel that Tyler writes his songs from within himself, about the things that touch him inside . Both of these incredibly talented men write their music about the things that move them throughout the course of life, and certainly the passing of a beloved family member of a cherished friend would be an inspiration to write a song that conveys the sorrow and support one might feel for that friend. I grew up in a musical family, and my grandfather said to me many times through the years that ,to be able to perform a song in way that forces the people you are performing for, to feel what you feel, to, in effect, include them in the performance in a manner that let's them believe you are singing to each and everyone of them personally. It is a very spiritual, and even to some extent, physically powerful sensation. Both Tyler and Chris have what I like to describe as true God given talent, a blessing that let's them touch your heart deep down inside, and they do that to you almost effortlessly on their part, however I doubt very seriously that either of them are aware of the impact it has on those of us at the receiving end when they write them. I'm sure they realize it when they see their fans shedding tears in every row as far back they can see.
@@martacasselman473 I have been to Virgie many times, in the course of my career i have worked all over south eastern Kentucky, Hazard, Whitesburg, Pikeville, Paintsville, Jenkins,etc. And my grandmother was born in Harlan county.
I think they are both great , and one just adds to the others talent. Their voices compliment each other. I love this. Being from Ky, I admire their respect for one another and I love to hear them together. Beautiful song .
It's, uh, Follow You to Virgie Back before these calloused hands and all this work We used to sit up at the flats Acting like we'd live forever Getting high and skipping class Yeah, I reckon we were heathens But in her eyes, we were saints Now you're calling all the boys home 'Cause heaven's angels carried her away So, I will follow you to Virgie Although it hurts me so To lay to rest this mountain beauty That the Lord's called home And I can't see her up in glory I can see her through the pines Back when all us boys were tryin' To make sense of all these strings I can see her in the corner Singing along to all our crazy dreams So, I will follow you to Virgie Although it hurts me so To lay to rest this mountain beauty That the Lord's called home And I can see her up in glory I can see her through the pines And I will follow you to Virgie 'Cause that's what us boys are for To help you out when you get weary And you can't go no more Can't you see her up there, Cody? I can see her through the pines Saying boys be good

I know right! I had been waiting for this day for so long and still showed up 2 days late. A tour together would be amazing!
Never clicked something so fast as when I saw this in related tab
I’d give many things to hear them do a studio album,
when chris went to harmony he kept realizing that Tyler was just resonating his pure angelic talent and kept stepping back. much respect
Sure lol

Wow! Just wow! Yes, he stepped back and enjoyed Tyler .. you could see the joy !
Yes! As much as an honor Chris to be on stage with Tyler, I bet he’s a huge fan of him
This is, in my opinion, the best song Tyler's ever written. And to come together with Stapleton on this is just perfect!

Add Sturgill and we're talkin
I am adding sturgill and for forming a Kentucky Highway men
What people aren't recognizing is how Chris is just the background vocals and allowing Tyler to shine. This is something legendary.
Yo that’s not fair. Thanks for getting this on tape for the rest of the world

Its awesome to see Childers getting recognized with the big names.He deserves a seat at the table.
You can see the joy on Stapleton’s face when he is up there with Tyler. He knows this guy is a generational great just like himself.

These two most definitely should be preforming together. I'm glad to see Timmy is getting the recognition he deserves, and is gaining respect.

Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
That the Lord's called home
And I can't see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines
Back when all us boys were tryin'
To make sense of all these strings
I can see her in the corner
Singing along to all our crazy dreams
So, I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
That the Lord's called home
And I can see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines
And I will follow you to Virgie
'Cause that's what us boys are for
To help you out when you get weary
And you can't go no more
Can't you see her up there, Cody?
I can see her through the pines
Saying boys be good
this was a beautiful moment to see. I love both my fellow Kentuckians
East Kentucky’s finest.
