First Time Hearing Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey (Austin City Limits Performance) Reaction

[@JosephDanker-ox7ee]

It's his wife singing harmony. A perfect match!

[@karenwalsh1143]

That's his WIFE!!! they have 5 kids.. So happy you did this!!!!!

[@gk5891]

Morgane (pronounced Morgan). She is also a singer-songwriter.

[@Cristi81272]

Yeah, they do a lot of 'harmonizing'.

[@myreviews8099]

​@gk5891 She's a very talented singer and she has writing credit on many of his songs.

[@gk5891]

@@myreviews8099 She has credits in television, film and for other artist such as Carrie Underwood's #2 Hit "Don't Forget to Remember Me". I always thought it was hilarious that Chris was to shy to ask her out so he would ask her to write songs with him on Friday nights to have an excuse to spend time with her (while Morgane was constantly dropping hints that stopped just short of hitting him upside the head with a baseball bat).

[@Shawn-rq4py]

After Chris & Justin T. sang together on the CMA awards they released a song together called “Say Something “. Those 2 play off each other so well you can tell they like working together. Check that one out also.

[@CajunBadger]

Say something live, is to me, one of the best live performances EVER….especially being between 2 EXTREMELY talented artists that you would have never thought would colab……..and when they did……..FREAKING MAGICAL!!! 💯❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Shawn-rq4py]

Gotta check out Chris Stapleton & Justin Timberlake live @ the CMA awards. It was “Tennessee Whiskey” & “Drink you away”. Those 2 put on an absolutely outstanding performance together. They jumped in & sang each others song & back & forth & it’s my favorite live performance I’ve ever seen.

[@sallymorehouse3179]

I just love the way you appreciate all music and get excited during your reactions!

[@salishseamermaid]

This is one of my favorite guitar solos. So simple and beautiful.

[@MaryannTurton]

Shon’s like, Chris,I was feelin you before, but now I’m REALLY feelin ya!🤘

[@46ChickRock]

Yep, you feel it deep in your soul. Major goosebumps from head to toe 👍 The lady is his wife Morgane Stapleton. Songwriter.

[@CajunBadger]

The woman is his ol’lady!!! No one does it like they do!!!! FACTS!!!! Check out the man’s world joint…..candid and a just a happen to happen circumstance!! Don’t slip @Shon!!!! Promise you dawg!!!! 💯💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

There’s another song from this set called “I was wrong”. He does a five minute 🎸 solo. So good!

[@glennvanzandt3011]

Chris definitely does his Thang. I going to see him next month. So excited

[@reanimated]

This current ACL Live is the best venue in town, hands down. The acoustics are INCREDIBLE.

[@matthewgoodA1206]

One of the things about Chris is how he obviously got more than country twang in his voice. There’s also a lot of soul and blues in there. Can’t think of many singers whose vocal style brings other genres into their singing.

[@lindawhite5006]

HE'S LOOKING AT HIS WIFE AS HE SINGS THIS SONG!

[@myreviews8099]

Most of his songs. You can literally feel their love.

[@RhondaHill-mi7cw]

He is amazing. Unique, distinctive voice and down to earth, working class delivery and sings with passion. A one of a kind. Thanks for sharing.

[@guyturbide6348]

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 One of my favorite live studios ( Charlie Rose) performances by Chris Stapleton song is 🎶🎵 Either way 🎶🎵 This one is deep 😲 he is alone with his guitar that all it takes to make a beautiful song Keep the good work Shon 👏 🙌 👍 👌 💪🏻

[@kathiyow6801]

Love him and love this song beautiful

[@dianewillson1289]

This was the last song in a long set, his voice is still freaking amazing! Had more grit to it. That's just plain TALENT. I'd listen to the man sing the dictionary.

[@michaelphipps8647]

Chris is 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@benjamincastleman8580]

AUSTIN Texas Is My Birthplace! I've Been To So Many Free Austin City Limits Concert's As a Child Along With My Parents And Brother's!💯💯🐐💯💯 Respectfully G.O.A.T.ED!!!!! For This REACTION!!!!!💯

[@rosiekitties]

i got to see chris perform about 4 yrs ago when this song came out the concert was great

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

He’s my favorite! He didn’t write this, but he did give it that bluesy arrangement. The original recording by David Allen Coe is totally different. You should check it out!

[@maricepelletier2107]

Regardless of the favoured music anyone listens to, I would never understand how someone wouldn't love this...❤

[@kimcutts6153]

100%

[@Bozemanjustin]

Chris Stapleton is the only artist I've ever seen that is better live than he is on record

[@juliestogner2542]

Truth. Worked at an arena where he played. I was close to the stage. I was completely blown away.

[@daledodson1279]

I agree. He is better live! A couple other artists who are better live are Bob Seger, and Grace Potter.

[@robertwoodward8765]

Zach Bryan is also the same

[@myreviews8099]

Facts

[@AnthonyE-fi3ux]

Yes DOWN lies or the curse. And Stapleton sometimes I cry cold midnight train to memphis.

[@MAGIKMARTIAN9526]

THIS IS GREAT NO DOUBT BUT I ALSO LOVE THE RECORDED VERSION WHERE IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT BUT THE CROWD AIN'T HOLLERING ALL YOU HEAR IS CHRIS AND OMG

[@cindyv1401]

Right Shon 💯 Don't even have to drink to feel exactly what his words explain to us 🤗❣️🤗

[@billsabo7943]

I think he sounds better live. Seen him when he was first starting and then again about a year ago. He can SANG!!

[@jeffdickens9556]

Yo man, next check out a live video of Chris when he gets pulled from the audience by a cover band he was watching to perform James Brown song it's a mans world. You will love it. The band almost loses their minds about how good he is

[@TexasRivermedic]

An absolute must!

[@CajunBadger]

A second, third and fourth this!!! James Brown has to be elevating from his grave on this candid performance by a boss!!!!! He KILLS it!!!!!

[@sandyleewhite]

🎸🎵🎸🎶🎸 *Country, Rhythm, & Blues, at it's finest!* 🎸🎶🎸🎵🎸 Loved your reaction Shon 😊

[@gingerbreadman1969]

Ima have to try some Tennessee whiskey if it's good enough to inspire this kind of passion. Always been a Buffalo Trace or more often Jim Beam man myself. 😎❤️👍

[@CaraK-bw6bs]

He looks right at her! So special! You should watch his song "I Think I'm In Love With You!"

[@tinakeith5822]

I love how he sings to his wife!!!!

[@AnthonyE-fi3ux]

CORRSION OF CONFORMITY AKA COC shelter or pearls before swine.

[@DebbieDempster-n1q]

Never been a fan of country myself BUT, Chris Stapelton is an exception along with Carrie Underwood. Every song I've heard from this man so far is pretty great. Have you ever checked out the video 'before he cheats' by Carrie Underwood? Great song!

[@chrismiller4348]

National Anthem from the superbowl

[@bobby-ov9qn]

YES, YES, YES!

[@sandramiller6752]

Awesome thanks ❤ 👍🏻💯🔥🔥

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

His new alum with Higher on it is Great!!!

[@Bozemanjustin]

Please do a reaction to George Jones, the one I love back then.... Aka the Corvette song. It's one of those songs that everybody likes the lyrics to even if they don't like country music

[@tinakeith5822]

This is a MUST!!!!

[@billofalltrades2633]

My man this is a great song ! Great reaction!

[@GaryKirkham-ju8gw]

Magic! 🥃🌠

[@Onetigerl]

Omg, Shon, have you heard the title song Higher of his latest album of the same name? He does some vocals in that song that I had never heard before. Guaranteed chills on that one, as well as his live version of the song Cold from his CMA's performance are fire, fr.

[@patrickjohnson1172]

Chris, like SRV should always be listened to live.

[@Shawn-rq4py]

Another great colab with Chris is Sturgil Simpson “Midnight Train To Memphis “.

[@toddrotton218]

There's been so many great artists on Austin City limits over the years, a lot of great memorable performances, but this one by Chris Stapleton has got to be one of the best. Not just this song either. His whole set was great.

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

Banger!

[@romysan1]

CHRIS!!! worthy reasction !!!

[@scottdolby]

I watch your vids. Huge Tool fan. Chris Stapleton and Jamie Johnson are the ONLY country performers since 1980-ish that I enjoy.

[@reanimated]

This takes me down some winding roads...if you want to get a little more local Texas flavor, check out Bob Schneider (the King of Austin!) and/or Kacey Musgraves. Now, both of them have made me cry! OH OH OH and please please please check out "This Land" by Gary Clark, Jr. The official video is a must.

[@sandramiller6752]

Blue eyed soul 💙

[@ladygator19831]

Others have said it, the lady is his beautiful wife!!!!

[@moniquecopeland5711]

Watch him sing “cold” live at the CMA’s 🔥🔥🔥

Chris does an a “LIVE” cover of James Browns, “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” that you have got to check out!

[@Martin-wn6px]

Larry Fleet “Where I Find God” featuring Morgan Wallen .. can’t go wrong listening to it 👍

[@tonylivingston3813]

Etta James wrote the original version of this song. It had different lyrics and was called I'd Rather Go Blind. It came out in 1968. Which is before the 80's, btw.

[@rogerdaly6326]

The original was written by Dean Dillon & Linda Hargrove who originally offered the song to George Strait who passed on it. David Allen Coe recorded the first version in 1981. George Jones did his version in 1983. Chris's version without question borrows heavily from the Etta James song I'd Rather Go Blind , right down to the opening guitar riff and tone to the bluesey vocal phrasing. Not sure if it was intentional as a tribute to her if he is indeed a fan of Ettas or maybe he hoped her song was old enough most people wouldn't put two & two together. His is by far the most popular version of this song which i'm sure Dean & Linda are overjoyed with.

@@tonylivingston3813 Thats the original of I'd Rather Go Blind not Tennessee Whiskey. Chris didn't rewrite Blind with different lyrics but he did borrow the guitar tone and vocal phrasing. Whiskey is its own seperate song.

You gotta do Luke Bryan....love him...I was always a rocker, hated country, except for the old time country like Kenny Roger's and Dolly Pardon... few others...Then I heard some luke, try That's My Kinda Night...I just love the bass in that, besides Lotta other reasons..Drink a Beer...tribute to his sister....sad and can definitely relate...2 major losses in my family this year

[@jeffreyk5734]

You need to react to "Broken Hallos". Really great song of his.

[@SA-hf3fu]

*SHON* I did a search in your videos and couldn't find the one with Chris Stapleton singing the National Anthem. Is it possible that you haven't reacted to that yet?? Even if you saw him at the Super Bowl, we would still love to hear your thoughts about it. Thank you!! 🥰

[@robinbeerman4726]

He sang thr star sosngked banner. Tge best. Listen to it.

[@robinbeerman4726]

Sorry about the typing. I hope you get a chance to listen to him sing the star spangled banner. I also would love if you reacted to Peter Frampton on the midnight special, do you feel like we do. He is finally being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. He made the talk box popular. He's the goat. One of the most underrated guitarist.

[@belindamcfarlane0222]

Great reaction shon!! He's awesome live. Can you please check out headstrong by Trapt. I think you will enjoy it!!!!!!

You SERIOUSLY need to watch group called VoicePlay.. They are acapella. As in ZERO instruments . Voices only.. THIS song by Chris led me down the VoicePlay rabbit hole. They are off the hook.. And the bass singer Geoff is not human lol he goes "sub harmonic!"

Chris's version borrows heavily from a song by Etta James called I'd Rather Go Blind , right down to the opening guitar riff & tone to the bluesey vocal phrasing. Listen to both songs and you'll hear how similar they are.

I'm not sure if this is still true but at the beginning of Chris' career he had really bad stage fright and so his wife always performed with him because it was the only way he could get over his fear 😊
