[@Solorivera]

I swear two of my most favorite songs...wow! You got soul brother

[@Hey_Jamie]

No he doesn’t. The person he is lip syncing to does. Look at 1:45

[@anthony-zh1tk]

​@@Hey_Jamie😂😂He absolutely is singing these songs. The video is behind just a little bit, but I know for a fact that's him singing!!

Any man who can sing this song to be can soften this matures beauties cold heart. Soulful and warm.

[@lisalisa1018]

I Love Teddy Bears also. Soft And Sweet. Had one look like this gentleman once who loved me and made me feel alive, he is past on now from heart trouble. Gosh, do I miss him. He was my world. Will play this video again and cry some more. Even if he might be lip syncing the song, someone originally sang it. Just pure fun either way.

[@GraziaAusGraziaAus]

Laurie Slack *🤗Yeah, agree!😊😉

[@danstewart3727]

@@lisalisa1018 Dam this dude passed away? Wow my condolences. He's amazing.

[@exiledbantuking]

Love it ! Wish I was there to throw a lil bass guitar on the Bottom !

[@BrokamaGay]

I wish these two songs could be merged into a duet about a guy and a girl struggling with different problems but ultimately they realize they love each other. Like TW is about the boyfriend struggling with his drinking but realizing he's putting his gf through Hell and he loves her more than the booze. And IRGB is from the GF's POV thinking that the boyfriend is cheating with another woman after all they've been through but the other woman is just a friend of counselor helping the boyfriend with his alcoholism. I love both these songs and this rendition is very good.

[@biya]

I wish I could like this a million times!

[@jonezmusicgroup]

So..... I stumbled across this vid accidentally and I'm glad I did. I've never heard the original, but this has to be the best cover... Good job fellas!

[@tempetenoir1202]

It is, best cover for the both songs i've heard. And usually i hate covers once i loved the originals.

[@ashleysteelman8449]

Chris Stapleton is original

[@mellodysharon7761]

JonezTheArtist me too... I’ll be his manager 😀

[@jazzy679]

It wasnt an accident😄

[@mmoore385]

I agree with you. A few other thoughts that came too mind Just think what they could with 1) a sound proof professional recording studio 2) video equipment above an iPhone Do I smell a crowdfunding campaign in the air?

[@joyceoverton1870]

you can't just do a mashup of these two songs and not expect me to cry. two of my most favorite songs.

[@MajorBonMarita]

WOW--thanks for sharing your powerful and gorgeous voice!

[@240devil1]

Awesome cover. The two ends of the spectrum as far as long and heartbreak go and share the same melody. Crazy how good the two songs parallel each other and with one hell of a voice to boot!

[@daniellovesJesus777]

i thought I was the only one who thinks these two songs sounds similar.

[@MrPZ]

Daniel Sumbayak Yeah basically the same instrumentation, basically the same chords played

[@adrianapena6910]

I knew it from the first time I heard Tennessee Whiskey I knew the beat went with Etta Jones I'D Rather Go Blind

[@maritzasantiago1709]

Daniel Sumbayak he lip singing right it sounds like kris Jones singing. ?

[@MrPZ]

Kris Jones puts that little "My, My, My" in his version

[@JR-oq1gs]

Love on the brain to me also goes with these

[@SadeWithTheReceipts]

BOTH OF THESE SONGS ARE ON MY PLAYLIST! THOSE HIGH NOTES WITH A BIT OF RASP SHOOK ME! YES SIR! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL :-) CHRIS STAPLETON KNOW HE SANG THE HELL OUT OF TENNESSEE WHISKEY! AND ETTA JAMES...MAN OH MAN.
