I am 62 years "young" and, IMHO, Chris Stapleton cannot be pigeonholed into any one genre. When I hear him, I hear what we used to call "Southern Rock." A little Marshall Tucker Band, A little Gregg Allman (R.I.P), etc.. and when I was a teenager in NYC I was a HUGE Southern Rock fan. All Chris does is he sprinkles in some soul and blues. Just as Gregg Allman did. Check out Chris's cover of "Whipping Post", written by Gregg Allman. It will blow your hair back, not to mention James Brown's "This Is A Man's World." Chris is a gift from God.

[@garymaidman625]

And not to mention his live tribute of Prince's Nothing Compares To You.

[@TheSaiyanPrince88]

I'm not even a country fan, but Chris Stapleton has made me HIS fan! He's country, he's bluesy, he's Southern Rock, he's bluegrass.. the dude is talented.

[@joiewick187]

Chris Stapleton is a masterpiece; he's very unique, he's blues & very soulful

[@bradydeangelo284]

I'm a rock guy and after listening to this song, I realized, this is the direction rock should have went to survive. Rock is almost dead. Country music is evolving because it's embracing guys like Chris who are incorporating soul and blues into the genre. Todays rock is soooo bad. Get back to the blues!

[@jcsmith3806]

And it's about time. Hip hop and rap has ran it's course in country. I am over "snap track and clap track country" and rap collaboration. Chris can own more genres than any other singer in my life time... Rock started fading hard in the early mid 2000's. Unless you shun mainstream, then you can find it.👍

[@ServusDei74]

Well said! Rock has lost its soul and groove. Got to angst driven…

[@Biking360]

So well put 👍

[@kinguzziah1683]

Chris Stapleton has a “man’s” voice, where it makes men comfortable to express emotions.

[@rickdiedrich536]

Polo I appreciate your channel. There’s no hype, just a true genuineness about you. Very refreshing!

[@erikabarnes5240]

Highly highly recommend the performance at the CMA with Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake

[@Countryboybiker]

Chris Stapleton was the best thing that could have ever happened to modern country. Putting the compass fixed towards the blues, and away from pop!

[@LeaMarie214]

Insane good. All grit and soul in that voice.

[@maryannehouston9958]

This man is FREAKING AMAZING! He is the whole package! Songs, voice, guitar, all marvelous. He just has so much soul and passion when he sings! Love him.

[@davidquintyne3366]

We hear and feel the lyrics, brother. Chris is a bad man!!

[@fishad09]

I cry every time I hear it

[@Notaseagal]

The very first time I ever heard Chris Stapleton was this song, and I have remained a fan of his ever since.❤

[@rickmts]

You just heard one of the best live performances ever!! Nobody can sing like Chris

[@EastCoastGal66]

This performance is phenomenal!🔥

[@shelleyking8450]

If Chris put any more soul and heart in his voice, everyone that heard him sing would need therapy to recover. He is THAT deep.

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

I love your reactions and comments to Chris Stapleton sings "Cold"❤😢😢❤❤

[@countryheart5521]

Legit one of my fave ever performances. You treated this song with such a calm and dignified respect. Chris is nothing short of amazing. Thank you for just sitting and appreciating.

[@AngelaWilliams-l6r]

He’s like the modern version of southern rock. I love his voice

[@stefaniebrauer128]

He mentioned in an interview that he listened to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog growing up. Said the music was so real that it translated even to some kid in Eastern Kentucky even though he had no notion of the things they were talking about. Any genre of music can influence as long as it’s real!! Facts. ❤ 😊

[@jeffdickens9556]

I've seen this video a100 times and I still get chills

[@rnichols4849]

Agree

[@peterpicard4028]

love this performance - and this was a terrific reaction - quiet, clear, restrained enough to let the artist be heard - thank you

[@ritalatham4974]

This IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGER AND GUITAR PLAYER THAT WE HAVE HEARD IN A LONG, LONG TIME ♥️❤️♥️ THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRIS ♥️❤️♥️

[@justingutube]

dude is simply carrying good music in America right now. With all the autotune, computers, and lack of talent in what I would call the WORSE decade of music all times, this guy holds up for all generations.

[@mattopgenorth4897]

There is literally more music talent than ever right now lol

[@smif48507]

This is what feelings sound like.

[@zacharyjames5313]

Saw him at jazz fest unreal performance and people from all walks of life cheering the whole time. He’s a combination of multiple genres and uncanny talent

[@Alice-xy3fi]

Chris Stapleton is a Music God, in my book, so the more of his songs you react to, the better. I won't really be satisfied until you've done every available one. People always talk about his voice, but it's not just his voice -- it's the choices he makes in what to do with it. For me, every single choice he makes is perfection, whether it's when to growl and when not to, his choices regarding dynamics, when he drops the end of a sentence in favor of coming in and finishing the sentence with the guitar...etc. Every choice is dictated by the music and its meaning (and never, as with many artists, by ego, fad or other such considerations) and his authenticity and taste are, for me, 100%. Loved your reaction, too-- and seeing his effect on you in your face as well as your comments-- and the graphics update is fan-freakin'-tastic! Thanks for another great, honest and heartfelt reaction.

[@karenschieber2991]

That's a beautiful song

[@tomfrattarelli1365]

one after another . this man is just amazing. I would give so much to hear him live. great reaction . keep them coming !!!

[@reggiehull375]

Wow! Hauntingly beautiful. Absolutely blown away Polo. Thanks my friend.

[@elizabethrossi7604]

I just looked it up, Chris Stapleton wrote it with Dave Cobb, Derek Mixon and JT Cure. OUTSTANDING performance. Love your voice!

[@charlesmullen3359]

Those are the members of the band.

[@randallfrank5682]

Thanks for your insight to Chris Stapleton. His songs and singing reminds me of Robert Cray.

[@BersamarthaVelarde]

Blues

[@SylviaCovington-g1i]

Love this man! We need a new genre of music for Chris Stapleton!

[@mon796]

My favorite song of his. So proud to call him kin.

[@BarbButler]

💙💙💙💙💙... Oh YAY!!!!! SOOOO looking forward to your reaction to this... even though... I already know!!!!❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥😎😎 (P.S. Love your channel!!)

[@bethscott4330]

Love watching you enjoy music you genuinely appreciate. I wish I could hear it for the first time again.

[@kathyjaissle6791]

This song and performance of it is amazing!!! Chris has so much soul and passion! Have you seen the video of Tennessee Whisky performed by Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake? It’s from the 2015 CMA awards, and it’s a MUST SEE!!!!!!! The collaboration was magic! AMAZING!!!

[@mylanwright5948]

And my man is doing this live. So good. Nice reacation!

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

I agree 💯! Someone has to have felt these feelings in order to write and sing them the way he does! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😢😢😢😢

[@rmwvx]

Chris Stapleton could sing the yellow pages and sound good.

[@sandiegibson1967]

Its on my bucket list to see this man live.

[@Tksmah]

The most BEAUTIFULLY AMAZING voice....we saw him with Willie last summer in NJ & we'll be seeing him this Friday night in State College PA....CANNOT WAIT,ONLY 3 MORE DAYS 🍀✌️🎸🤠💚

[@138NastyNate]

I wish t he CMA's would put out a record of all of his live CMA performances...They all are perfect. This one is just amazing.

[@doloresburns3301]

Chris is a genre of his ...you don't even have to know the lyrics to know what the song is about --you can feel it in his voice. Haven't seen many of these real artists in my 82 years. Elvis was one that you felt his music throughout your body. I've been a sub for quite awhile now and really enjoy your reactions.

[@bella-xp7qd]

He is country. Won many country music awards he'll this performance is at a country award show.

[@dennicesmith2519]

Yes he makes every mother want to run to him and hug and tell him his love is on her way!!! His wife is amazing and their love for one another is up front!!! God bless his house voice and steps in all they do!!

[@joesaulsiii2254]

This was written from the heart, I remember when he was with stealdrivers, only one way a man can do this is broken heart .

[@rosanneslates2528]

Thanks polo Great song 🎶 first time listening to this song

[@renehayes5770]

❤ I just realized he can play a guitar left or right handed… he is amazing 🤩

[@Moss_and_Such]

This could be a James Bond song.

[@katarina1852]

Chris is amazing. This sounds like a blues song and it’s fantastic….you feel it in your soul.

[@TeresaChew-r7p]

Chris Stapleton is pure soulful and love his voice. Chris is the perfect showcase of a real man he loves his wife like she is him he thinks of her always! Think about it this is our American idea of a very good man. Not only his music which is spectacular but who he is as a person. Does this man look like he has 5 kids!! Yes in my mind and soul this is what my grandsons need see!! Thank you Chris Stapleton you are wonderful!! ❤❤❤

[@cindipossidento5688]

Every time I hear this song I cry ….. So soulful ….. and his voice OMG 😱

[@ccwilkinson015]

@poloreacts27. Your comments and assessment are spot on. I can't get enough of his bluesy soulful sound. I'm all in when I listen to his music & let the emotional experience flow. It's awesome!

[@ArcAudios77]

Thanks POLO, best wishes are sent from Western Scotland. An Artist I have great respect for - Mr Chris Stapleton.

[@SigRho1429]

When I heard him play this live, we were at the Verizon Arena in Little Rock, and the entire crowd sang along. So much better live with a crowd.

[@TheCharlesAtoz]

Chris' voice tags people's emotions in a special way, wow.

[@mybrookee1]

Sounds very bluesy to me. I absolutely love this❤

[@deemariedubois4916]

Chris Stapleton gives me chills every single time I listen to him. Thanks…

[@randylamb3296]

Cold is so blues. 💙 Chris Stapleton, generational, I could and do put him on a loop.

[@marcieharreld286]

Awesome reaction!!! Love this song!! Another one that I love is "Fire Away" He's a genius!!! 😥🎵🎼🎶🎤🎹🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@joymiller5674]

Never heard this before great singer and song 😮

[@guitarjonn7103]

True greatness. What blows me away too is he's so much better live than his recordings, which are awesome to begin with. It's no wonder legends like Stevie Wonder want to collab with him.

[@lavernelindsey9062]

Absolutely true greatness especially live. Feel it❤

[@JeriLaird-i3t]

I know most musicians who sing live doesn't sound near as good as the recording. But that's not true with Chris

[@trudogg630]

Just an amazing talent…. Sing it Chris !!

[@quintondees4501]

Legend

[@karenwalsh1143]

Wow.. 3 days ago? I thought everyone had seen this! So glad you got to it❤❤❤❤

[@ritalatham4974]

One Of The Best Songs, You Will Ever Listen To, Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤🥰❤️

[@DorianStarkey]

Traveler and Starting Over are both great songs as well! He has so many! Also Zac Brown Band-Free/Into The Mystic is incredible and would be a great choice to react to! Phenomenal!

[@paulhyatt9441]

It's one of many great songs from Chris, and I think maybe your favourite, Polo! I've watched a lot of your reactions over the years, and there's not many where you just sit there and become enthralled and hypnotised by the talent of this man. It was a great review. Well done, and I totally enjoyed the greatness of this man. Busselton Western Australia

[@t.d.cartee2717]

One of my favorites of his.

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

"Chris Stapleton has a new album on the way. On Friday, the singer-songwriter revealed that his fifth album, titled Higher, will be released on Nov. 10 through Mercury Nashville."

[@EastCoastGal66]

This performance is phenomenal!

[@EastCoastGal66]

I want to see Chris Stapleton in concert! ❤️

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

I agree Polo, he's sings his memories in those songs of his ❤❤❤❤

[@bryanwhatley]

This song just played on a playlist I was listening. So I purposely came and searched to see if you had a reaction video to it. I’m glad you liked it.

[@annenamishia9902]

Chris is a down to earth~full of heart~unbelievably talented soul. God puts us on this earth to bring a message and he brings a message. Love and the meaning of all there in. His heart is deep and I love deep. Deep from anyone in anyway. Deep is real and captures the very essence of what’s in your heart. Truth and grace, honor and beauty, soul and peace.

[@carolcoker9862]

And this is live!!! Its perfection!!! React to Traveler or Joy of my life two of my personal favorites

[@crazydale1000]

DAM. Stapleton crushes everything he sings. Your channel is awesome Polo

[@MarkSmith-vb7ym]

A lot of people didn't like Elvis cuz he moved up when his 18 he was a superstar overnight and a lot of people are so jealous of him and back in the '70s you had your potheads and and they like long beards stoned all the time and he had the most powerful and best voice in the world people were so jealous of Elvis back in the '70s it was it was sickening because he was so cool he had everything and he got it so quick he was put on this earth to do what he is doing He's a gift it's not his fault back in the '70s that's all you heard on TV everywhere was Elvis Elvis Elvis and they're a lot of guys out there that just they just didn't like him cuz the girlfriends loved him All right my friend You keep up the great work if you can listen to the one that Tom Jones sings but Elvis sings it. never going to fall in love

[@darcijohnson1873]

I LOVE Chris and those guitar riffs. OMG!

[@lindaturner3384]

He can sing anything!! One of my faves is 'I Was Wrong' Take a listen to that one.

[@aprilmason5978]

Chris could sing a telephone book and I would get chills. True soul .

[@billywhittington2490]

Polo Chris is in a league all of his own

[@randylamb3296]

In the cover it's a man's world, he was asked to come out of the audience and jam with the band. Incredible!

[@ritalatham4974]

Best Collaboration Of All Time, THE BEST EVER ❤❤❤❤

[@kathb8874]

So cool to watch a Stapleton convert❤️❤️ Man has soul and blues. I call the genre Outlaw Country…..encompasses not just a country vibe but also soul, blues, southern rock.

[@garymaidman625]

I call the genre Chris Stapleton. Outlaw Country of course isn't a new thing, going back to Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson.

[@alisoncauser2955]

He and his band is doing a UK tour next year. I've booked tickets and although it's over a year away, I can't wait. So excited.

[@shartmann2008]

I could listen to him for hours. Soul, blues.

[@jeffjones659]

This Song Has So much Feeling Behind it, that it can bring You to your Knees. Polo, I thought I heard you say he wasn’t a Country Singer. Just so You know, He is Definitely a Country Music Singer with Many Awards. One would Be CMA entertainer of the Year!!!

[@juliaalexander5788]

He seems more soul or rockabilly blues

[@trenthaskins3435]

So enjoyed your reaction dude

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

I found him about eight years ago and I find myself not wanting to listen to anyone else. I still get chills.

[@tammydean3003]

One of his earlier songs Parachute is a good listen. He was a lead singer for The Steeldrivers a bluegrass band. Also produced a rock album under the band name Jompson Brothers.

[@sweetbitz]

When you sing in front of so many people and the room is silent, listening to your every word….YOU KNOW YOU ARE A STAR!! I don’t think anyone could do this song better and emote the feelings that he brings forth.

[@ClaraTrujillo-re5hf]

Ohhhhb it will blow your mind..awesome

[@veronicacarmody115]

I always think of Chris Stapleton as blues. Tennessee Whiskey is definitely a blues ballad and so is this song.

[@NancyDavis-Foss-ok7to]

Love love love ! So Much emotion and Soul. ❤ - Would like to have you do Teddy Swims, also very soulful.

[@kevinattaway2556]

Chris Stapleton IS country. It's just many of you all don't realize music being played on country radio today is NOT country. Hank Williams, George Jones, Conway Twitty, and Loretta Lynn were all raised on the infusion of blues into the music they wrote and played.

[@juliesantos8175]

No words…he’s pure heart & soul.

[@LeslieHumen-lu2ix]

My favourite song by Chris. I'd love to hear Adele cover this song, or a duet with Chris. So powerful!

[@janiceward132]

Never heard this! Thanks for the intro. Perfection.

[@kevinbaughman2307]

Such a great performance! Love that you put this up there, brother!
