Chris is a true legend to me. Great songwriter, great musician, and has the most original voice of anybody of my time. He doesn’t even push him name on anybody. He just does what he loves to do.

So true. I think he has the best voice ever only behind Freddie Mercury and Chris Cornell.... its actually a toss between those three for me.

My sister gave me a CD of The SteelDrivers 4 years ago. She recently passed away I was in the process of moving when I found the CD I played it while I was packing my things. I was awestruck there absolutely my favorite group. Their vocals are impeccably unique, brilliant Arrangements. As far as the individual musicians go they're all wonderful Pickers. And as a group they accentuate each other so well. The Beatles did the same thing individually they were very good but as a group they were phenomenal a force to be reckoned with. they're not lacking in anything.

[@shawnaldrich7868]

[@sergioforty5]

[@vickihunter1913]

So sorry about your loss...

[@flysubcompact]

As a country music fan of almost 50 years I can say that this song is flawless. Grit, blended with a harmony and uncluttered instrumental work that makes the hair stand on the back of my neck. Ironic that I never heard it on a "country" station...it was some guys bumper music on a conservative talk radio program.

[@hp2402]

Unfortunately, it’s not ironic to not hear good real country on a radio station. Or maybe it is fortunate…things always get ruined by the masses. If you seek it out, you will find that there are incredible artists out there doing it for the love of it, and slaying the top albums on the radio!

[@kehlcassidy9562]

Ffs, try Mean Marys "Iron Horse." I guarantee you will never hear that on a mainstream country station. But it's absolutely worth a listen.

[@jamespalmer4727]

It is bluegrass, you know. Sirius has a bluegrass channel. Sadly I have never heard this song there.

(a danish rock band) And now you guys, I feel so blessed 🙂 If it hadn't been for love, was all it took. Just ended a 10 year long relationship when I heard that song. You have been playing in my ears pretty much all day and night since that faithful day where I heard you the first time. Don't ever stop this thing you got going, please 🙂 Just gonna plant a small idea! Denmark it's beautiful in the summer and in Nyborg we got this stage in a forest in the city next to a castle, old houses, and a river. Absolutely gorgeous.
