THE ROAD TO 10K SUBS! In this video, I was sick if you couldn't tell so I apologize! Still had to get it out to you! Thanks for all of the love on the recent Tyler Childers documentary. Y'all have been great. Enjoy the beginnings and evolution of Chris Stapleton, one of my favorite artists. Also side note - messed up on the lyrics for You Should Probably Leave. Brain went a little dumb in that moment lol. It should be "There's still time for you to finish your wine, then you should probably leave" Thanks for excusing my mistake! Lastly I read that Chris' dad was an engineer "for the mines" so that's what I meant. I pride myself in giving y'all factual info!

Hey y’all! Forgive my lyric mistake! Should’ve been “There's still time for you to finish your wine Then you should probably leave.” I aim to make things as accurate as possible, but sometimes I mess up! Hahaha. Thanks for the support!
Thanks for putting all this together! This is great - thank you! Aloha from Hawaii 🌺
Hey man! Just stumbled across your channel definitely subscribed. Love the content
You should do one on Charlie Crockett
No problem . If you never seen Chris in concert you need to. Best performance ive ever seen at Red Rocks
i got to assit on a jib rig while he was shooting videos for three different songs. In the bldg where the albums were recorded. Super, super humble and nice guy!
What Chris Stapleton did with the national anthem at the Super Bowl was bring us back to a time and place when our country was the shining city on a hill for the world and it’s hard not to tear up seeing how far we have fallen.
Loved his performance and seeing the emotions!
My thoughts EXACTLY.
I know how you feel. I’m 67 and the things that are happening is nothing but 1960 was the START OF THE UGLIEST TIME I believe!
Here’s Chris Stapleton and I truly believe that he is a miracle! Just listen to his words in anyway and you will understand how much of a miracle he is
@@cindyfinney6161I agree. I lived through the 60’s and I know it was bad but now it seems it will never end 😢
I'm Brazilian, here almost nobody knows him. My wife and I love his songs; and last year, we had the opportunity to watch him, in a concert in Charlottesville VA, during a vacation trip to U.S., was one of the most incredible experiences in our lives.
That sounds so fun! Glad you enjoyed it!
Same kinda happens in Argentina! I bet the show was awesome!
That is awesome! So glad you got to see him. Tell everyone in Brazil about him! 👍
So glad you got to see him! He is so amazing, unbelievable in concert!
I 0:47bgss a😮😊😊6yy😅um op yo y y
I'm a Rock & Roll guy. Chris Stapleton is my favorite current artist. His voice is amazing. His lyrics are fantastic. He's the real deal
It’s great that his music can appeal to so many people that like different genres!
Listen to his album with the Jompson Brothers if you haven't yet, it's by far his most rockin' stuff, Blood in the Water is definitely top 3 songs of his for me
@@noremak69 thanks for the tip. I'll check it out
Awesome voice to me SOUNDS LIKE MAC POWELL👌💖
He really isn't country IMO but the industry has pretty much killed rock n Roll, not too many real rockers anymore but since Chris wrote for so many country stars, they embraced him. He started in Bluegrass w/The Steeldrivers so he kinda got in that way too & thank God because what kind of radio station would ay him, he doesn't really fir in a neat Lil box, he is blues, rock, a Lil country & a damn good Bluegrass singer to boot. So glad the country music world welcomed him. I can't imagine a world w/o Chris' music in it❤
I think almost everyone here in Johnson County Ky is proud of Chris! He’s extremely humble as well. A while back Eastern Ky has a devastating flood (next county over mainly) and Chris came to help. He didn’t tell anyone he was coming or there, just started going into houses and started helping them move furniture and things out. He went to the local Walmart and bought water and supplies and didn’t feel the need to announce he was doing/done it. Stand up man Chris is!
Why t f did he endorse biden?
Bc Republicans suck 😡 they only look out for themselves!! Yes biden needs to do something about the border but at least he isn't facing FELONY charges unlike the orange guy Trump!!,,#BIDEN2024 also Trump is a disgrace porn star, election interference,theft.,.he's making the USA a laughing stock of. The 🌍 world!!
Bc REPUBLICANS only look out for themselves,, YES BIDEN needs to do something about the border but at least he isn't facing FELONY charges !!Porn star, theft, election interference, he's making the USA the laughing stock of the world 🌎!!#biden2024
And didn't feel the need to record it to any post to social media platforms!
@@huntersParmesanPipeBecause he knows Trumps a conman and is a danger to democracy. I voted Republican since Reagan, until Trump.
Morgan deserves a huge round of applause.❤ Her harmonies are beyond incredible and the connection between these two great people is undeniable ❤. Morgan has my respect 🎉
Most emotional National Anthem in my 70 years. Still get body chills listening to Chris Stapelton and the guitar. ❤
This man's soul, grit and growl combined with his incredible voice control is so unique. I'm certain his voice will become timeless upon itself. One of the very few vocalist that can never be replicated. I call him the Chris Cornell of Country. Like Cornell, Stapleton will be cemented as a legend of his genre. Just amazing...
Thank you for putting this together. Huge Chris Stapleton fan here in Australia. First saw Chris doing a cover of 'Simple Man' with Kings of Leon in concert and and was hooked from them on. This latest album Higher is incredible - his talent is just straight out divine. Have to say also that his rendition of the National Anthem at last years Super Bowl is in my opinion the greatest ever.
That’s so awesome! I bet that was a great experience 😁 thanks for sharing!
Cold has always been my fave, but if "Where Rainbows Never Die" doesn't get played at my funeral, I'm coming back mad.
Chris Stapleton was what EVERYONE needed. Pop, rock, whatever, his music is of itself, he is absolutely one of a kind.
I heard broken halos for the first time the very day my dad died. Every time I hear that song it just melts me…
Thanks for sharing and I’m sorry for your loss. It’s special the way songs connect with us
God Bless 💔🙏
The voice is everything when it comes to Stapleton. "Whiskey and You" is a perfect example of his vocal prowess, goosebumps!🤘
Awesome voice YET HE SOUNDS LIKE MAC POWELL💖👌
He endorsed biden. Everything about this 🤡 is FAKE!
I can’t BELIEVE you didn’t mention “Cold” 😩😩 he used an entire orchestra in that song 🔥
I was thinking the same thing. Personally, I thought it was his best song he's ever performed as well. I was blown away when I saw and heard that performance and song. It's absolutely a brilliant
One of the best musicians of my lifetime. Mad respect for him. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥
True!! 🙌🏼🤘🏼thanks for watching!
I just came across this video and LOVED it!! I have known Chris since we were in Elementary school together. He was always talented in high school. Singing for our graduation, instead of giving a speech. Where he was valedictorian. I hadn’t seen him in years after graduation. Then one day I got a friend request from him on Facebook. This was around the time he was working on Traveller. I would see pictures of him and his family traveling out west. In the old Jeep. Next thing I knew his album was released and he was performing concerts at home right before the CMA’s. When the rest of the world was introduced to Chris Stapleton. I ran into him after he was really rising up in the industry. He introduced me to his wife Morgane. I honestly have to say, Chris is still as humble now through all the fame and success. As he was when we were younger in school. Thank you for this video!
Been following Chris since he was lead for The Steeldrivers. He left the band the year my wife and I went to see them live. Hate I never got to see him perform with The Steeldrivers. We did get to see him in Charlotte at Amos' Southend. Worth the wait. He's kind of been our marriage's soundtrack. He is one of a kind!
George Strait may be the “King of Country”, but Chris Stapleton is the heir to the throne. No doubt.
CS is just awesome. In this digital age it was a joy to see and hear him emerge and rise to stardom. He feels like an old soul and that's something the world needs more of right now.
Very well-done video!! Chris blew me away with the Anthem. Our nation was founded as a 'Nation Under God'. I love God. I love Jesus. I love hearing singers who can 'take us to church'!!!
Thanks so much for this great overview of Stapleton’s career. I’m relatively late to the Chris Stapleton phenomenon and this really gives me a good taste of some of his earlier songs. When I saw him do White Horse on the CMAs I was totally blown away. It’s one of the best songs I’ve heard in a very long time in any genre. I truly believe he has a good chance to be one of the giants in the history of country music.
No problem! Thanks for watching! I hit the tip of the iceberg, there are so many other great ones 🙌🏼
This was great. My son introduced me to Chris Stapleton and when he got married in 2016 he sung Tennesee Whiskey to his wife - it was amazing !!!
That's awesome!!
Chris Stapleton is a musical artist, not a country artist. He is that rare person who can touch your soul and heart. For me, if he never put out another album but continued to write, I would still be a fan. And as a person, he is what we should strive to be. A decent person to all. And I'm going over to check out Devyn right now!
He’s got that musical ability! Definitely a legend already. Sweet, Devyn has some good stuff! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@thewesternside Downloaded several songs and they are now part of my permanent daily playlist. Thanks you for bringing Devyn to my attention!!
Kimberly, I agree. He’s not country. I couldn’t even classify his music as rockabilly. But he’s his own brand which is pretty special.
6:20 Tennessee whiskey was not originally by David Allen coe but George jones. Dean Dillion wrote it. Definitely look up Dean Dillion one of the greatest country song writers of all time.
Best Anthem performance at the super bowl in history
This 🤡 endorsed biden. Everything bout him is FAKE.
I discovered Chris Stapleton recently and I was very impressed. I'm not a big fan of country music, but Chris's talent is simply impressive and far transcends the country style. That's why I found this video very enlightening and it was possible to see the scope of his influences. Very interesting. I have a special affection for Scarecrow in the Garden: I discovered this song recently and it made me appreciate country music more.
I feel like I was late to the Stapleton game, but he’s definitely becoming one of my favorite artists. I feel like his music can be loved by all lovers of different genres!
I agree 100% with you@@thewesternside
Calling Chris country is misleading. Tennessee Whiskey, for example, was originally a country song but he sings it to the music and melody of an R&B song, I'd Rather Go Blind by Etta James, therefore making it an R&B song. Most of his music is pop, southern rock, or R&B. Very little, if any, true, Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, country. So you don't like country, and that's okay.
When I said I'm not a big fan of country music I didn't mean that I don't like it. I'm just a little fan lol. 😁Since I am here in Brazil, I like to appreciate the rich American musical diversity and when this appears at a high level in the same person, as is the case with Chris Stapleton, it seems like a gift to me. @@TheMidnightModder
@@TheMidnightModder He's actually classified as a Soul singer
The Jompson Brothers cd is INCREDIBLE!! This man can sing his ass off!!
Gonna go find it, thank you for the recommendation
Fantastic Country singer, puts pop stars to shame, a real talent to appreciate.
Gotta take a sec and say this is one of the best musician biography’s I’ve seen. Editing, commentary and storyline is beyond amazing. Well done !
Such an amazing song writer and singer!
I totally agree!!!
stapleton and timberlake cma performance of tennessee whiskey STILL brings my house down!!!!
Great job!! Learned a LOT and your voice is great the way you did the dialogue with the music. LOVED the National Anthem--and the football players crying REAL tears.
Proud to know that Kentucky is still producing the best artists in the world.
Hi from Argentina! Just watched this video and it's great this background of my current favourite artist. I popped up with Chris watching Yellowstone...Pure gold! What he transmites, the comments about him, figuring out what he means for the american culture. His voice, full of power and soul. We demand a world tour!!! Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for a great run down of this amazing artist . I’ve been a fan for awhile now and can’t imagine not being . A few picks of my fav tunes of his is ‘Arkansas ‘ , this song rocks . ‘What are you listening to ?’ is a beautiful song . ‘Devil always makes me think twice’ kills it too . I love ‘Maggie’s Song ‘ too .
Loved this! I really appreciated the background story on Chris’s songwriting in his early years ❤
Thank you so much for covering and showing us "The Story of Chris Stapleton."
❤ Chris Stapleton!! you did a great job telling a bit about him❤ I love all his songs I can’t just pick one song, are you kidding me he is the greatest country singer of this generation! Jamey Johnson is another artist that I ❤🇺🇸✝️🙏
Such a great episode, and I agree the Fire Away video is so impactful, not to mention featuring one of my favorite (and underrated) actors, Ben Foster.
Thank you so much for this! I’m am obsessed with his song writing ability and voice! It’s Just simply EVERYTHING in one package! ❤
I'm from the UK and saw Chris at Country to Country at the O2 London, he was fantastic, we have tickets to see him again this year, what a fantastic voice and such a humble man. Millionaire was our father daughter dance, when my daughter got married. I listen to his albums almost every day.
I am half Kentuckian, my great great great grandmother smoked a pipe. Chris Stapleton is Soooooo FANTASTIC SINGER AND GOOD LOOKINON THE EYES!!!! LOVE ALL HIS SONGS!!!!!😊😅🎉😂❤
Did sound a couple of times when Chris was with the SteelDrivers. One humble individual.
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Bro this video is TOP FREAKING TIER!! This video is just a good a Chris’ catalog. I can bet that this took a lot of time and effort to make, so thank you for making this.
I don’t think there is a song that I don’t like but I have to go with ‘I think I’m in love with you’ as my fav on the new album. Im an American living abroad and his music makes me so nostalgic for my homeland. I’m completely obsessed with this man. I really can’t get enough. Loved your video. Thank you!
He’s def one of my faves, loved this thank you! Not sure if I missed it, but I didn’t hear you talk about Cold, at CMA. Thats when I first heard Chris and it blew my mind. That performance was out of this world. So many faves I love that you mentioned, good taste 😊
This man’s voice is so “velvety” I’d listen to him sing the phone book
Thank you so much for this. Chris is a true triple-threat with his phenomenal voice, timeless and thoughtful lyrics, guitar playing and off-the-charts blend of blues, country, rock, bluegrass and folk music. Personally I love his time from the SteelDrivers -- then all his solo work (including lesser-known ones like "Devil Always Made Me Think Twice") and what Chris did with the National Anthem. Hope to see him and his band live again in 2024. His vocals and soul have a depth and power almost impossible to believe. Chris is a true blessing to a fractured world.
Thank you for taking the time to watch! I appreciate it!
Thank you for an awesome Chris Stapleton spotlight. Also subscribed and see you surpassing 10K with great storytelling!
Ok man, you’ve got a unique skill that’s on display in this video. I’m so happy for you because you’ve found your niche. Blessing from the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee
Chris Stapleton could sing a phone book and sound amazing. Seen him last year, got my husband tickets for Father’s Day. Absolutely BEST show I have ever seen. ❤
Dean Dillon wrote Tennessee Whiskey and Chris' performance with Justin Timberlake brought it back to the forefront of one of the top songs ever. Stapleton will go down in history as one of the greatest song writers in the world. Incredible voice, insane song writing skills, and a pretty darn good guitar player. One of my favorites of all time.
And George Jones was the one that made it famous.
David Allen Coe wrote tennessee whisky
Wow great video! I first saw Chris a couple years ago he opened for George Straight and was blown away. Have front row tickets to see him this April here in Minneapolis and can't wait!
I remember reading an article about most anticipated albums in 2014 and Traveller was #1. Then I was watching the 2015 CMAs and was screaming at the tv knowing I was watching one of the greatest live duet performances ever that would go down in history- and it did. That performance was pinned on my Twitter acct for 5 years. He is definitely a once in a lifetime writer and singer.
Great biography on The Stapletons. Your input made me a fan of his music AND your channel❤❤❤❤
Great reporting. You are very informative and talented. Great subject matter as well. Win win. I just subscribed can’t wait for more. Thank you.
Very well done!! Thoroughly enjoyed your video!! One thing that my wife likes about The Stapleton's is the way that his wife is right by his side; she has Love and Pride in her eyes, enjoying the songs with everyone else!!
Thank you, I appreciate it! That is very true, it’s really cool to see her in every performance 🙂 she’s such a talented musician as well
Thank you muchly for breaking artists down like you do. Well done! ❤
Thanks so much for watching 😄
Hell yeah Chris Stapleton's singing can make a grown man cry. Myself included.
You’re really good at these rockumentaries. Keep it up man. Thank you 👍
The best country artist. And thank you for the video, keep up the amazing work.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate you watching!
TitanUp!!! Love this video dude, thanks so much.
Nice capture of his career so far. Thnx for this. ❤
Love your title...and of course being an ole Country Music lover Chris and wife are one of my favorites bringing back great Country music and family values
Great work on the videos man. This one and the Childers one was top notch story telling of their journey’s
Love Chris, his vocals are outrageous seems like a beautiful soul also.x
One of the most underrated channels on KZhead, keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!! That means a lot! Thank you for watching 😁
Nice production. I am a resident of Staffordsville and he and I grew up about a 1/4 mile from each other. His family and my family went to church together. I want to add that Loretta Lynn was born and raised just outside of Staffordsville as well.
That’s so awesome! Thanks for sharing and taking the time to watch! 😁
I am also from the area when did they turn Oil Springs Elementary into a culture art center? If you go up from there my father owned property. We planted a thousand pine trees on a mountain ridge up from there. I would love to see those trees today. We planted about 1970
Always the most quality content on this platform 😤
This was lovely. Thank you ✌️🎶🤘
Great video! Chris is just perfect! Not a country fan here, but his music is a treasure. I like a lot of songs, lately Cold is my fav. Greetings from Serbia!
Thanks for the video. Good, succinct storytelling and keen musical critique.
Both him and Zach Bryan helped me a lot when I needed to go through a very tough and dark moment in my life. They'll never know, but I'll be grateful to them forever
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
You Americans really do own country music big time 👌🤙. And Australia loves ya music 🎶 🎵 ❤️ 👍👍. Don't forget us and get down under 🫶
Any recommendations for me to listen to? I’d love to learn more about some Australian artists!!
@thewesternside Keith Urban, Mogan Evans to start with. The famous Australian country singer story teller is Slim Dusty but I don't know if Americans would understand him 😅 maybe 😊
@thewesternside
@thewesternside I hope you do one Slim Dusty. That would be cool 😎 👌. Love ya channel mate 👍
I grew up on Keith Urbans older stuff! I know a little bit of Morgan Evans but I’ll check out Slim Dusty!
Hey, I just stumbled on this video. Nicely done. I very much enjoyed watching.
Thanks so much! I’m happy you came by!
cool stuff dude, this is what i was looking for a while , Thank You !
Will forever hold his own - and a section in country music history. Great breakdown!
Ahhh!! Thanks so much! I follow your work on Instagram!! Thanks for watching! 😁
anytime!!! thank YOU!@@thewesternside
Great job, my young brother. Your enthusiastic, soulful, astute, genuine viewpoint/narration and pure, smiling face beckon me to believe in yourself and the younger generation of humans that define the growing now...and thereafter. Love and aloha...
So honored I was able to see him live in Wheatland California. An absolute Legend. Eternally grateful to be alive to witness such greatness.
That's awesome! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
I love his voice, he is so humble. My favorite ever is Nobody to Blame, not sure why I love it. Or, do I? 😅 Anywho, the stickiest is You should probably leave. Cried with many, but probably the one hit me badly is Barely alive. thank you for this video!
Omg! He is so handsome under all that 70s hair. Come on Chris dial the hair n beard back, we love you and want to see you. Don’t hide. You shine so bright you don’t need to❤️🥰❤️🥰
Your description was full and so very well said!
Im not a massive country fan in fact im from Scotland 🏴, if that means anything at all probably the south has a load of Scottish roots singers and artists. As for chris Stapleton im a fan he has something very special about him. As for "fire away" thats a beautiful song , powerful, touching, true, and im glad he brought such a meaningful song to the masses.
Good video, really enjoyed it. Stapleton is just awesome.
What a wonderful video. I hope he sees what beautiful work you did on this!!!
Thank you!
Along with the rest of his talents I think he is a fantastic guitar player and his electric tone is killer ! One of my favorites I haven't seen mentioned is , "this hard livin ain't as easy as it used to be" I can relate!
Excellent job. You've got a gift for this.
A Simple Song was the one that got me hooked. That slick lil riff in it just so smooth and I just HAD to learn it on guitar
Very interesting musician. He is absolutely awesome. Love his music. Diary of life! Thanks for putting this together. Great video ❤️👍
Thanks so much for watching!
Very impressive done ! Being from Germany, I became aware of Mr. Stapleton through the movie HELL OR HIGH WATER and its soundtrack...especially OUTLAW STATE OF MIND. That song made me searching the internet...the rest is history ! He is not very familiar overhere, but thanks to YT etc. I am able to enjoy Chris Stapleton videos and live-appearances. I simply love this man ! He is my all-time favourite musical artist now. Love all the clips you have in this video, some of them new for me. I really do hope there will be a DVD/BLU-RAY release of a live-concert, as I´m afraid he will never do concerts here in Germany. Keep on the good work, and...just THANKS !
That is so amazing and appreciate you sharing all of that with me! He is definitely a true artist that can be enjoyed from any country! 😁 I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I’m from the Netherlands and i’m hoping he will do a european tour one day. He is coming to the UK this year but it sold out immediatly. I heard Tennessee whiskey couple of years ago and bought traveller. I loved it…bought another copy for my brother and another one as a gift for a friend. When I bought Higher the guy from the record store told me that the vinyl was sold out in a second and in was unknown if it could come back quickly. In other words: he is very much loved with a small group of people.
He has played concerts in Germany before! So if he does a world tour again he will probably play here again
@@selinamarie2ableSorry, but I don´t think so. He may have played a conert here or there before he became so famous, but I cannot remember a tour.or something like that in the past few years. Are there for example some concert-reviews ?
@@drummerman1964 yes there a multiple concert reviews from his Berlin and Hamburg dates in 2016. Kacey Musgraves and Zach Bryan are also famous country singers and still have concerts in Germany (last year and this year). Chris didn’t stop doing world tours because he got famous that’s not how the industry works - skipping a huge market because you’re ”too famous“ would be a bad advised decision. Europe is one of the biggest music markets and all the big people play over here
It don’t get any better than He’s song “Weight of Your World”!
I love this man . Saw him in Pittsburgh, he puts on an amazing show. Hes funny and personable. Hes a good man
Brilliant talent,love his music ❤
Me too! Thanks for watching!
thankyou what a great run down .and new indroduction to a new artist .
My opinion doesn't count for much but I think that you and your wife are honest the best. Love to hear your wife but Mr Stapleton you voice is the most amazing voice that I think has ever been around. I love to listen to you sing of which I listen to you everyday.....Thank you for sharing your talent. Annette
So excited to see him in Scotland this year 🎉❤
He's an Aries, besides his amazing voice (and looks, I'm 65 by the way). I was born in April ,knew there was another reason why I love him.😊😊😊
Haha that’s awesome! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Yeah same for me!
I was thinking along the same lines, my birthday being 11 April, lol!
All of his songs are my favorites !!!
Love Chris Stapleton and his story and music journey
Great video about the greatest living country blues artist of our time!
