Chris Stapleton- Outlaw State of Mind (Live at Farm Aid 2018)

Chris Stapleton and Mickey Raphael perform "Outlaw State of Mind" at Farm Aid 2018 at XFINITY Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut, on September 22.
Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

If you don’t know who is playing the harmonica, that’s Mickey Raphael, been playing with Willie for Decades. Best in the business. Stapleton is a freak of nature, a once in a lifetime artist.

[@ohnonotthatguy1465]

Just think you are listening to a song writer that has been in industry making hits for years. Thank god he finally decided to sing his songs the way he wrote them.

[@dannydimes3350]

let me tell you, driving a King Ranch truck through Texas wearing a cowboy hat, packing Copenhagen and a .44 on your hip while playing this is a whole nother vibe, most American I’ve ever felt

Mickey Raphael played that one like it was his last performance. Fine performance.

[@kennethfaught8754]

My grandson just bought a Fender Tele and I’m feeding him these videos. 😎

[@Flat_Stanley]

The Tele does it all, but this and most Stapleton tunes are played on a jazzmaster. You can drive railroad spikes with a Tele and it will still sound great when you pick it up.

Chris Stapleton and Co, your music, especially the live performances got us through the pandemic lockdown, actual Covid and now Long Covid. We are converts to the Country Blues scene and like all converts we are zealots. Much love from the county of Devon in England. 👍💕👍

@Chris Stapleton Oh my, I am stunned but extremely thankful to receive a personal reply to my comment. I can only repeat again how much we love your music. What ever the mood or situation theres is a Chris Stapleton song to match the mood. Keep them songs coming Chris ❤🇬🇧

[@bkmeahan]

The tone he can get from that jazzmaster is unreal

[@largemarge1603]

Mesmerizing solo at 01:42... the harp 01:53 flawlessly slides in... riding the identical galactic frequency. Flawless. . This is a magnificent piece of music.

This is the kind of music I grew up running around 2 we called it southern rock Southern Rock has come up missing for several years now welcome back

[@theodorefrank5471]

He's got that stuff down imean yes sho nuff yeah uh-huh that's right

[@alexrogers9051]

Boy did he crush the Super Bowl National Anthem….probably one of the best renditions I’ve ever heard.

[@SuperFlowback]

Anyone who has had the opportunity to see, listen to or watch play the guitar is witnessing greatness and history being made. you’ll probably be telling your grand children that you got see and hear one of the best singer song writers in all of the history of music. People like Chris Stapleton don’t come along very often. It’s just awesome to witness it first hand. I still get goose bumps listening to him do his thing. He definitely gave all of music a much needed shot in the arm.

[@monicacooper1089]

Real country at its finest!

[@StorybooksInn]

His harmonica player deserves way more credit 💙

[@greglapointe1311]

Great harmonica player, Mickey Raphael, he's actually Willie's harmonica guy.

He is absolutely cut out of that mold, and it's awesome to see him doing what he's doing. Between him, Sturgill, Jamey Johnson, and Jason Isbell, country's got its fastball back.
