Dave REACTS "Barely Alive" by Chris Stapleton

[@carolstrohm3548]

Background info: Chris is on a singer/songwriter cruise. These are music industry peers that he made absolutely speechless. Once he starts singing, all talking, carrying on comes to an abrupt halt.

If you look they're a lot of hidden gems like this scattered around from Chris's younger days. I will suggest Chris Stapleton "Fool Me Again" which is from a Song Writer's Conference on a Cruise Ship I believe. Heads up, it's definitely country.

Sandy Beaches Cruise 12. "Ain't No Way This Love Is Wrong" from that same cruise is hot.

You give a gentle reaction and then you go rogue with your "bug off" ... "and this is just him on the guitar". Chris sustaining those trills/runs is to rip our hearts out. "Holy Heck" is right on...

[@dalemurnane8705]

Nice reaction he wrote it definitely a generational talent.

🎸💯 I've got the only album by the Jompson Brothers when Chris was their front man. "Barely Alive" is one of the cuts; but, I REALLY love this live performance‼🤯🔥

Nothing recorded compares to his live versions period!

[@jasongilbert2379]

Oh YEAH!!!

Check out "If It Hadn't Been For Love" (live version at Sundance), another great song from Chris, from his other band called "The Steeldrivers"

“Be quiet Chris is singin!” Oh don’t worry they will be silent soon enough 😂

Although I love Chris Stapleton to his bones , I also love your red green poster ! Best show ever

This is Live at The Bing Lounge - a gathering place for singer/songwriters to entertain each other in Nashville.

Early recordings of Chris sometimes were not technically great but the power comes through, even on a cell phone recording. Chris on stage by himself with only his old beatup guitar really show his power and presence as a performer.
