That steel player is a badass

Pretty sure that’s Robbie Turner.😊

[@7thgrader07]

Y'all better thank Rodney Crowell for writing this song.

[@GEMINIJASONBORDEN]

Chris Stapleton has saved country music. His amazing wife too.. They make history by singing some older history like Waylon Jennings !!

JAMEY JOHNSON is the KANG... Tyler Childers is awesome Chris BUTCHERED Tennesse Whiskey...

[@denisjl100]

just when i"m about to give up on country along comes a guy like chris stapleton to renew my faith. he even has a steel guitar in the band. i have died and gone to heaven.

He also has the greats gravitate to him, like Mickey Raphael and Benmont Tench. In fact Mickey is in this video playing the harmonica. Benmont Tench was Tom Petty's keyboardist in the Heartbreakers.

[@cathy1523]

Chris and Morgane are magic together. I'm so glad she encouraged Chris to share their talents with the world. Chris has an amazing voice with ability to make us feel the music.

[@ronaldtomblin7797]

Sorry.he was the man before her and now she's trying on her own .I think no way like Sugarlands Jennifer.Just my opinion.

Waylon 4ever Will be the King,but Chris does him justice. I can just hear Waylon saying-"Excellent Job Hoss"

[@ratrht2519]

I have watched this video at least 50 times and never get tired of playing it. Chris rocks this Waylon tune. Chris is the new country I have been waiting for, for a long time. Job well done.

He's the greatest.but can't be waylon.no one will ever be waylon. We miss you waylon $

[@davidbergin6184]

Just to clear something up. This song was written by the great Rodney Crowell. Waylon would eventually cover it..

[@flintferguson6979]

[@anitahaversat5528]

This man has many God given talents, song writing, guitar skills, but undoubtedly his vocal skills are unmatched. Doesn't matter what he sings , he owns it, and once he has sung it, no other version measures up. Have seen him twice in concert, hope to do so this summer as well. So glad I discovered his music in 2017. Nothing's been the same in my music world since

[@WeekndWarriorrr]

While I agree he's great. Waylon actually lived every word in the song. There's something about someone singing the truth that's unbeatable. This is a great cover, but nobody does Waylon quite like Waylon.

you can see the whole band and are into this, its so alive, and Chris is the icing on the cake, with all the textures in his vocal chords of steel.

I'm so glad this man came along just when I was starting to lose faith in country music when we lost the late great Waylon Jennings . My faith has been resurrected . Unbelievable talent . Much Respect ... Thank you for sharing ...

[@butchturner]

There is nothing like the feeling you get aka at the 3:11 again at 4:46 min. mark when Chris yells YEAH...Because you know...your band is on fire & burning down the house!

[@sweetbitz]

I love watching the steel guitarist face! He is great to watch and especially to listen to! But then anyone associated with Chris or Morgan’s are great, or they wouldn’t be there. Talk about class, perfectionist and performing and giving the very best you have to give at each performance. That is what you get every time you go and listen to them. They wouldn’t be themselves to give any less.

[@avroflier]

Thats Robbie Turner, he played in Waylons last band.

[@michaelyoung8501]

This man has over 1000 songs under his belt, But just a few for him self. It's about time that he And his wife are starting to get the credit they have worked for.

[@arrieobrien4083]

"I Ain't Living Long Like This" is a song written by Rodney Crowell for his 1978 album Ain't Living Long Like This. "I Ain't Living Long Like This" was first recorded in 1978 by Emmylou Harris as a track for her album, Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town. - I wondered because I had that song by EmmyLou back in the 70's.

[@sammykent3677]

Gary Stewart first recorded it for his "Your Place Or Mine" album, released in 1977. Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris recorded it for their albums in 1978. Waylon Jennings' cover version is the only one released as a single, and it went to number 1 early in 1980. IMHO all the versions are good. It's a shame, though, that so many people know it only as a Waylon song, when he was, in fact, the fourth to record it, not the first.

[@tammymatt9186]

Yep, thank you Rodney!!

[@rickyhall6701]

This is awesome! One of my favorite Waylon songs written by Rodney Crowell and covered by Chris Stapleton!

[@curiousvibes76]

Wow

[@adamsaben3299]

This version kicks ass, don't misunderstand me, BUT, one of the hidden reasons why Waylon's version is so good is that kick drum on the off beat. You gotta listen for it, but its what makes Hoss' version unique. Go listen for it. Nobody else's version has that same kick drum pattern. This kicks ass though.
