Who’s here 2024? Tell me I’m not alone. ❤

[@harvywells1]

You are not alone

[@joseywhales6262]

I'm a black guy now in love with country music cuz of this dude lmao! His songs on the CMA led me to him, and then I was done in by "Sometimes I Cry" and "Barely alive", now I'm hooked. ! Good grief this man can saaaang! Whose listening to this in 2015??? Me!!

[@allaboutfball7835]

White girl here but was black in another life cuz I LOVE me some true bluesy soul music!!! Music in that u actually feel in your soul...this dude gives me chills. Takes me to church!!! Wow!!!!

[@michaelkopysh1429]

+Josey Whales My experience exactly. Though to myself recently "I need new music, and Country is totally untapped for me. Should give some a chance." Next week, this cat takes the stage on CMA... addicted.

[@michaelkopysh1429]

+Michael Kopysh My experience except for the black part that is. I'm a white guy who never gave country a chance beyond Old Crow Medicine Show. That's changed.

[@nancygatto4963]

haha I am a hard core inxs fan and am in love with this man. this man has soul. only country i liked is Kenny rogers. now i can add Chris to that

[@peachyfauna3650]

+Josey Whales - I listened to the whole Traveler album and "Whiskey and You" had me in a heap on the floor. Just a guitar and his voice conveying such hurt. It reminded me of Otis Redding singing "I've Been Loving You Too Long." Not the sound, obviously, but the ability of a voice to convey such a depth of feeling. I'm not huge into country but Chris Stapleton is my new fave artist.

[@jeffyneedsanap]

I've watched this a million times. This is incredible. Trying to wrap my brain around those harmonies.

[@DirkjeA]

Like so many before me, I never heard of the Steeldrivers but after listening to Adele's London performance I wanted to check out the original. Indeed, they rock big time and know how to touch someone heart.

[@twrecks9119]

Just discovered this guy. Will go nice in my collection, next to Jamey Johnson,Whitey Morgan, and Sturgill Simpson. This is What I have been missing in country music. Thumbs up.

[@victoredwards0530]

Goodness! There is still country music! I thought it had died, but here it is!

[@annmlewis]

Bluegrass is country without the drums. It feels cleaner, purer and actually much hipper. This guy has a brand new hundred year old voice that sounds so fresh because you've heard it before and it feels so comfortable. He's an outstanding song writer too. Huge talent. So happy people are finding out about him.

[@anniecollins8872]

Omgosh this still kicks ASS!

[@steveandrews8301]

Love the Steeldrivers with Chris Stapelton! Wonderful female tenor singer there and fiddle solo by her! Wow!

[@ckellson8992]

OMG! I love his music!!! I can't do anything but find all of his songs!

[@MrHubot]

A bloke will go to extremes for love. I know I will for my love. What ever it takes for as long as it takes. I grew up as a boy listening to this style of music but it was mainly gospel music but in this style. :o)

[@KSBERGER1]

That fiddleplayer is the real star. Holy cow!

[@leannji5375]

This has such a timeless and classic country/bluegrass sound. When I first heard it I thought it was really old(like from a hundred years ago)

[@JESSICAMERA]

I love both versions. They are both awesome in their own ways in my opinion.

[@GBSLiveMusic]

That's the kind of comment I like to see. ;)

Honestly man.. how much better does it get than this right here??

I think I could listen to that man sing for the rest of my life and die happy.

[@BanjoDay]

Tammy Rogers is the fiddle player. She is amazing, one of Nashville's best...so that makes her one of the best anywhere. She is a class lady making some sweet string music!

[@jbsvoyce]

their harmonies are sick!! i love how they crescendo together.

[@laurenstevens2933]

thanks for letting Adele cover that great song!

[@WestMittenMedia]

So much talent on this stage.

[@DavieboyLondon56]

Awesome to meet a song for the first time that just hits you square in the chest, head, heart, wherever. I'd not even heard the Adele version (I have now). Just fab, and it's opened the door to lots more Chris Stapleton stuff I can discover....

[@christinehuff1036]

I like both versions of this song, I had never heard of this band until someone said to check them out.

[@mpaxton8991]

Christine Huff I had KZbin on autoplay while sleeping. This song came on and knocked me out of a dead sleep. I had never heard anything like it! I've listened to them every singlr day and or night since. This and Burnin the Woodshed down are my favorites. All of them have talent beyond words.

[@thomasguderian7731]

Chris and Morganne fit into the bluegrass, blues and most likely anything else they, They are bring back true country music!

[@brianwarren6957]

My Fav Song and I love your band and Chris Stapleton Your big fan Brian

[@racerx6041]

Like all country musicians whites in particular he has a whole lot of Soul. He's a bad man. New fan.

[@mess3097]

I first heard this song a month or so from the time of this posting, and I am not sure the last time I had ever been so moved by a recording. This song and performance speak volumes that I cannot even produce the proper descriptive words for.

[@mattryan1344]

Though it is certainly not my song, thank you for being so moved by my recording. Great taste my friend!

[@Paul49myspace]

Sure wish Chris could have stuck around you folks made some great music together. Thanks the for the Show at the Arden theatre. Remember to keep those passports up to date. lol

[@evelynmabulay5805]

folk song much i like....... i love u guys

[@musicallygeeky]

those double stops!!! 😍

[@Sugarbear50]

Great song and that gal can fiddle! It's the song I play over and over from Adele's concert. Wanted to hear the original that she loved so much. Doubt anyone could ruin such a fabulous song ~ both versons are just terrific!

[@DirkjeA]

I too heard about this band thru ´Adele` and man was I pleasantly surprised. I am not really into countrymusic, but this band rocks me of my feet, they are really something else......

[@anniecollinsrocks]

Fantastic!!! Love it!!!!

[@jc102569]

best voice I have heard period

Ahhhh soooooo good! Dat harmony doe.

[@markcardle7677]

Guys class.absolute class.

[@sweetwaterjunction]

Awesome !! Those that hit dislike on this video must not know what real music is ! this is crazy good !!

[@JithinJohn074]

Came across this song because of Adele, as a lot of youngsters like me have... what a beautiful song and both versions are different yet amazing in their own way. Being from India , i have nothing to relate to with Bluegrass but this song, especially your version, somehow takes me back to South Indian Tribal/folk music and brings a big nostalgic feeling to me. I will be checking out other songs. but, this is just beautiful :)

[@BobPapadopoulos]

Good music is always relatable, regardless of culture. I'm a born Irishman who moved to rural Appalachia (the home of bluegrass and country), and despite the cultural difference I fell right in musically, as their music is heavily influenced by Irish folk music anyway. Men may come from different walks of life, but music moves us all the same. Real just recognizes real.

[@thefenderguitarman]

Jithin John Xxxdfcx.

[@racerx6041]

Bob Papadopoulos Well put. I agree completely. I too discovered this through Adele and like both.

[@smigitgettit4162]

Love the violin!! So so beautiful!!!!

[@MachTwayne]

holy shit, you're not even kidding. this man is my inspiration for any music i make.

[@tennisbumojai]

This is really great.....What a bad-ass voice he has. Love the singing on the chorus.....fiddle player is magnificent.

[@IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

I would've never known of this song's existence if it weren't for Adele. Fantastic song.

[@postcardsfromheaven]

great song ! fantastic fiddle playing !

If this song doesn't Launch a Musical Legacy, then nuthin will !!!

[@christianwebb5653]

Who cares who sang it better. its one thing to sing a melody that has already been written, its another thing to write something from scratch. Adelle is an entertainer for the nullified minds of the mob. these guys are full blooded, genuine musicians.

this song makes me want to write the great American novel. Love it
