First Time Hearing | Chris Stapleton | Steeldrivers - Blue Side Of the Mountain Reaction

[@Natasha-px2gw]

Once you realize how awesome bluegrass is, you’ll never un-hear it. It has so much soul and rhythm.

[@carnifexmactator]

THIS is the song that made me a Chris Stapleton fan.

[@jasongilbert2379]

Anything Chris is a thumbs up in my book!!

[@galacticbob1]

Steeldrivers' "Sticks That Made Thunder" is a powerful song, told from the point of view of the trees that lined civil war battlefields that still stand today, and the things that they've witnessed.

[@MythicFool]

I remember during a show they talked about seeing this big old oak tree on a hill overlooking the Nashville battlefield, and wondering just what this tree saw, and how it would make sense of the battle.

[@scottrackley4457]

@@MythicFool I'm pretty sure that tree is in Chickamauga Battlefield. There is a massive cherry tree along a bike path there, everyone knows where it is.

[@MythicFool]

@@scottrackley4457 Might be. Been so long, I can't remember exactly where they said it was.

[@tnmtnmorning1178]

Great song!

[@pamela1144]

YES!! I found this a month ago!! Can we say, repeat, repeat, repeat...?!❤️

[@geniej9093]

Talent in abundance and your face speaks volumes

[@Any-Okra]

Your acknowledgement of the fiddle earned you another like my guy..

[@dianesorensen2549]

Love the Steeldrivers too!

[@mrthedave1745]

If you are doing steeldrivers "where rainbows never die" is a must

[@heathermccook4797]

Yes!

[@kristagreene3706]

Chris Stapleton adds that element of blues that is unsurpassed!

[@barbarahighlander421]

Stapleton does bluegrass & just like everything he does, its top level.

[@brentpnw9091]

I’d love to see you react to “Can you run.” Some of the most powerful and haunting lyrics of this era in Stapletons career.

[@cavecookie1]

Fantastic song!

[@dsgm10]

Aamazing

[@ronnywestberry9503]

one of my favorite Steeldrivers songs " Can You Run" a song from a slaves point of view during the civil war I like your reactions keep them coming.

[@LadyGator1983]

I don't care who he sings with or if he just sings by himself, he is absolutely amazing! I've been so blown away with everything he does that I'm at a point that I don't know what to say anymore! The man is awesome!

[@chadsmith7802]

If you want more chris he has a rock band too the jompson brothers. Enjoy I love the river

[@SigRho1429]

Can You Run! Can You Run! Can You Run! Can You Run!

[@Tom-sf6hb]

Im from the uk and love the steeldrivers

[@brenttuttle7268]

Midnight train to Memphis....also done while Chris was with the Steeldrivers is FIRE 🔥

[@janicesimmons5272]

Great song!!

[@scottragland4753]

Pure talent all across the board! 🙌🙌

[@storyspinner70]

Steeldrivers and their bluegrass is amazing and he was in Jompson Brothers which is mostly southern or roots rock. One of my fave songs from them is On the Run but there was so much that was awesome. He's so amazing and versatile.

[@waynethera2712]

Yea On The Run is a great track.

[@138NastyNate]

Yea the Steeldrivers are considered Bluegrass. They do still tour and record even after Chris left. He left on good terms. It was just time for him to go out on his own to conquer the world as he has done.

[@bluefamily3937]

Love love love the steel drivers!!

[@baldguysquattinginthedark4567]

Ye why would anyone mess with Chris , he would just load up his 44 putting himself behind the jailhouse door

[@avery7061]

This song gives me chills, absolutely love it

[@kevinfitzpatrick2743]

Yes ditto “If if it Hadn’t Been for Love” I’m Wearing a Hole” is super fun. And my favorite “Where Rainbows Never Die” all by Steeldrivers.

[@brookehornback1896]

YES! The song IF it hadn't been for love is a must by The Steeldrivers..More of his home state of Kentucky ,bluegrass grass oriented music with lots of soul.❤

[@stephen.macleod]

I watch a lot of reaction channels and I've watched a lot of your reactions and that slight smile you get around 1:38 is something I've rarely seen. That's when I knew that YOU knew who you were listening to. ;)

[@michelerobertson1782]

Yeah from the same album is Sticks that make Thunder it is hauntingly beautiful.

[@levinicholsonmusic547]

Sticks that made thunder!! by the steel drivers

[@afrohuman2]

Thanks for reacting to Chris with the Steeldrivers💕 His vocals are always incredible... I always appreciate your insight 👏

[@josephwalsh9285]

Impeccable vocal abilities thank you sir....

[@bmeggs19]

Good Corn Liquor is a great track by the Steeldrivers

[@davealton3734]

love me some Bluegrass! Then add some Stapleton and you can't go wrong! Love it

[@cavecookie1]

My favorite Steeldrivers song has to be "Can You Run". Dang, that song just gives me chills every time I hear it!

[@galacticbob1]

I second this, it's hard to find a bad Steel drivers song; but Can You Run is absolutely one of their best!

[@cavecookie1]

@@galacticbob1 This is a funny story...There is another young African American music reactor, can't remember who, now, who did "Can You Run". In his defense, I think the fact that because it was Bluegrass, and probably a genre he was unfamiliar with, he was more focused on the music (which he called Square dance music, and liked!), and completely missed the lyrics, which in this song especially, are SO vital to the whole experience. That poor guy got flayed in the comments! I hope he went back and listened again, and maybe he learns to hear the whole songs in the future! Kids; what are ya gonna do? LOL!

[@bjornronaldson6017]

I am thrilled you reacted to this song, it is, likely, my favorite songs by him. Ghost of Mississippi is worth giving a listen as well.

[@bjornronaldson6017]

If you enjoyed the fiddle in this song, you should try on the album, Long Violent History by Tyler Childers. The entire album showcases Appalachian fiddle and banjo work.

[@RB-tx1fs]

He’s just the best. Thanks for reacting to him!

[@sherydenslament]

I was hoping we'd see you do this one. It's a great tune, and yes, it's bluegrass. Bluegrass features some of the finest musicians playing today.

[@Rosiepooh75]

Chris is always amazing! I recommend Steeldrivers "If it Hadn't Been for Love". Adele covered it really well, which originally introduced me to Chris, but Chris' original version with the Steeldrivers is just incredible!

[@michelero8794]

Love almost everything with Mr Stapleton, but his steeldrivers days give me chills. They match him in talent and I love their harmony.

[@debbiecrawford7925]

His voice cuts right through your soul. Love your Chris reactions

[@mledbetter]

I was fortunate enough to live in Nashville when The Steeldrivers w/Chris) played often at The Station Inn.

[@franrhoads9848]

Love this song, love Chris, the whole group of artists have top level talent! Playlist for sure!

[@mwallace2337]

CAN YOU RUN by the Steeldrivers. Civil war story through the eyes of a slave about to make his run for freedom. A story as powerful as his voice.

[@jackeisenhauer]

loved the steeldrivers. and Chris sounds just as good live as he does on record. amazing

[@peggycochrane6449]

He can sing anything,makes me proud to hear a kentuckian sing like this,he is absolutely awesome.He is the real deal.his wife does great also

[@kolbeycasper3658]

Chris Stapleton did a 3rd project called the Jompson Brothers. You need to listen to Inside your head or Barely Alive. It's very cool stuff and different

[@willieshelby3480]

Thank you for all your posts of Different bands Chris stapleton was in !

[@ukfor9bbn4ever56]

He was a part of The Steeldrivers and The Johmpson Bros

[@ogfostano7794]

The violin has strings and a fiddle has strangs

[@K3mbusm]

Back in the day, you could go to the The Station Inn in Nashville and hear The Steeldrivers on a weekly basis. It's such a tiny place, no advanced tickets, about $10, cash only, seated only a few feet from the stage. I'd go there, grab a slice of pizza and a Coke, relax, & enjoy some Chris Stapleton vocals & great bluegrass music. This is not mine, but here's a video I found showing the setup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZXLmmeKr7Vobs0

[@mbsnyderc]

It is bluegrass.I would listen to The Steel Drivers, Can You Run ,and maybe Where Rainbows Never Die.

[@russellmcvay3379]

Mrlboyd, you need to check out Chris Stapleton and Patty Loveless, You'll never leave Harlen alive.

[@sandersrk]

"Sticks that made thunder" or "Can you run?"

[@debbiegrubb6235]

You should do a reaction to Chris' Whiskey Sunrise.

[@chelsea6804]

I love Ghosts of Mississippi by the Steeldrivers. Also, if you have not yet heard his live "Barely Alive," you should check it out. Audio isn't great, but it doesn't matter much as his voice carries just fine. It's a song he sang when he was with the Steeldrivers, but the live version of him doing it solo in a bar (I think) is the best version of it IMO. Thanks again, love watching your reactions. Especially Chris Stapleton. Have a great evening! - Chelsea Edit: I realized later that Barely Alive was from when he was in the Jompson Brothers. Sorry, I forgot! :)

[@brianhullaby7738]

Gotta recommend "Can You Run" by The SteelDrivers. It's an incredible song.

[@joshwilliams3653]

Finally!! Been trying to get one of ysll to check these guys guys out for a while. My favorite is sticks that made thunder. Its about the civil war. Good shit.

[@jeffkeiffer1427]

You should check out the ghost of Mississippi by the steeldrivers

[@toddnoom626]

Good corn liquor " another killer tune!

[@crazydale1000]

Dam. Stapleton is awesome. Check out Arkansas by Chris Stapleton. A great fun song.

[@jackeisenhauer]

I found steeldrivers a few years ago when I was looking for new music on pandora. I found the "Wagon Wheel" station, and it was there with other bluegrass

[@thetwostags]

Really enjoy your content. Been watching you for a while. Well done on every genre.

[@truettscofield854]

I would love for you react to The Dead South... a "newgrass" group from Saskatchewan. I recommend "In Hell I'll be in Good Company" as a 1st exposure. Or maybe Time for Crawling, The Recap.... my 16 year old son turned me on to them a few years ago. I took him to see these guys for his 1st concert. This band has become more than just a favorite after my son passed away last year... I hope you enjoy their music as much as we do

[@Justin-yp5em]

Would love to see Outlaw state of mind. Great song.

[@tubby2503]

Check out Chris when he was in the group The Jompson Brothers . 'On The Run'

[@scorpiongsxr]

Sticks that made thunder is a good one too. Great story telling.

[@lanesdad100]

You should take a listen to the new Steeldrivers lead singer. Matt dame is also a very impressive vocalist!

[@bigcountry2756]

Ol girl beat the shit out that fiddle 🎻

[@rlh766]

People a shocked when they find out his roots are in bluegrass music.

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

I think you'd enjoy the rest of their catalogue as well, this is definitely not their only good song. I recommend checking out their song The Price to hear one of Chris Stapleton's best vocal performances.

[@scottarmstrong2641]

I honestly liked Chris better in the steel drivers and his replacement is pretty good also

[@mickeyneal6374]

You are so correct on him be able to sing multiple genres. You should check out him covering Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters.

[@bmeggs19]

This is the Chris Stapleton that I know.

[@777OpHiUcHuS]

The fiddler stole the show.

[@toddsnider7583]

Yes this is bluegrass

[@1BEAST1775]

He was with band called the Jompson Brothers before he hit the big time, check out the song On the run, It's 🔥

[@brandonawalt7204]

The whole jompson brothers album was good.

[@markskivers4037]

CHECK IT OUT! I know you like Chris Stapleton. After he left The Steeldrivers and before he went solo, he led a hard rock called The Jomson Brothers! He can do it all!

[@oshwindang897]

React to Sticks that Made Thunder, Can you Run and Midnight Train to Memphis by the Steeldrivers. All sung by Chris Stapleton, and great songs!

[@sandersrk]

04:00 Fiddle or violin depends on how you play it. I think the 05:00 is a Dobro.

[@rhvenaubrey6008]

If you liked this, check out Chris and The Steeldrivers performing "Midnight Train to Memphis" live for Bluegrass Underground about 12 years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2HFgHxuhLeMg7c And if you want to check out more awesome bluegrass, try this performance of "Blue Train" by Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, also live from Bluegrass Underground. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXPCXo1qjrish9E

[@bert131974]

Honestly there is no difference between a fiddle and a violin. It's the type of music you play with it is the only difference in the name.

[@Sunshineandhydrangeas]

You definitely need to listen to “Sticks That Made Thunder” from this same album.

[@rob10274]

Reckless side of Me by them is grest too

[@CodyCloudWalker]

Afiddle is just a saw with strings.

[@lesterwilliams1116]

Barley Alive is a great one

[@billarnold6166]

Now find him singing with the Southern rock band called The Jompson brothers.

[@truettscofield854]

Tyler Childers - Nose to the Grindstone is a good listen too.

[@bmeggs19]

Specifically this kind of content. Old Crow Medicine Show

[@bluefamily3937]

OVM is fantastic live too!!

[@station3913]

Chris Stapleton has paired up with Sturgill Simpson on Saturday Night Live, that is definitely worth a view.
