I recognized Etta James I'd rather go blind right away when this song came out from Chis stapeton I told everyone that ! being Mexican American I listen to a lot of oldies and caught it right away ! But I also know most of the Lyrics are from David Allen Coe or George Jones ? original Tennessee Whiskey which are great country singers ,so if you think about it Chris Stapelton and his team are Genius for putting this song together every time it plays at a club or Bar all colors come out and dance just about every race can relate to this song , we really need more of these songs especially in these time with our country is so divided !! And we are so fortunate to hear this band play the combination of all artists they killed it !!

I’ll tell you what they didn’t disappoint Etta James. I like you have an ear for music and I thought the same thing when I first hear this wonderful song. Something like when I heard blurr lines that beat was Marvin Gaye all the way. Let me thank these musicians for keeping there music alive.

Wow! She really made this her own without losing the parts of Chris Stapleton's version that made me love it in the first place. Backing instrumentation was very tastefully done, gentlemen... nice. Video production is excellent. When a song carries the kind of emotional weight that this one does, THIS is how you do a great cover version.

Christina, I listen to different performers on KZbin a lot. I listen to find who can do the very best on a given song that I am familiar with. I took a chance on you for one of them, and wowee. After hearing just four or five notes from your platinum voice, no one else can come close, no one. You are the best blues singer ever. Please do more blues. Oh, excellent band too.

Yeah I'd been recommended this video for a long time but kept bypassing it. I'm embarassed to say I've never listened to anyone do this song. So I clicked on it one day, and wow, it's so cool. The singer is wonderful, and the musos so cool. I listen to it everyday now.

[@Belinda204]

The first time I heard the intro to this song, I thought it was "I'd rather go blind." I love this song. Christina does a great job with this song.

[@814gina]

it is I'd rather go blind note for note. George Jones wrote the lyrics and sung it with Etta James so he didn't need to pay for the music since they collaborated together.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

@@814gina 100% FALSE. The song was written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove and first recorded by David Alan Coe for his album of the same name. I'd Rather Go Blind was written by Ellington Jordan and Etta James. Two different songs.

[@JLRuiz-br9li]

Yes it happened to me exactly the same, I thought it was I'd rather was blind. So both songs have same melody and chords. And this is a very good cover.

A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice singing a beautiful song. What can be better. Of course Chris Stapleton’s version brought this old song back to life. I’m so glad to find this on KZbin.

[@shayemoore]

She took this song to a new level by mixing in lyrics from Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind". I wasn't ready for that. I had to play back that part. Beautiful rendition!

[@gigi8162]

Me too

[@luissantiago147]

Etta’s rift was used to create Tennessee Whiskey this why is a perfect blend.

[@nashhell7988]

It’s the music from Ms. Etta’s song.

[@reemj3675]

Yeah Chris basically stole the music

[@shayemoore]

So I know it's the riff from Etta's song and the words from Tennessee Whiskey were written by someone other than Chris Stapleton (for those who didn't know). So none of it is his. I'm saying she did a great job blending the two.

[@SonnySambucharan11june]

Boy ,Oh Boy, this is real surgically precision in singing and a Band of master craft musicians, very well produced, and orchestrated. Listening gives the feeling of being in their live show, a few beers, a mesmerised spectators and a cool relaxed atmosphere. She is as sweet in her voice with a magnificent loyal harmonized band.

[@micah-hooka7275]

It’s no big deal. This version is crap. All they did was put it to an R&B beat and robbed the greatest version from the greatest vocalist of all times. That would be GEORGE JONES. DACoe gave it a first try and flopped. This song was floating around Nashville for years. You don’t get it, these people are as far from Tennessee Whisky as this song is far from tolerable. Put the country count to it with steel pedal guitars whining in the background , add No Show Jones’ rich, masculine voice and you’ve got one of the top ten country music songs of all times.

[@tamarabradshaw4799]

Oh so many have attempted to imitate Etta, she being the gold standard for female blues, r&b and soul singers but this girl did a damn good job with that slice of “I’d Rather Go Blind” - It isn’t easy to keep up w Miss James’ range being so broad and unique. Her voice would go high to almost a squeak, then dip way down deep and smooth. Not many singers do that especially today - she’s simply difficult to emulate because she was anything but monotone. I believe that was her true gift. Makes me want to hear much more.
