The SteelDrivers - Ghosts Of Mississippi (Official Audio)

I'm not even American but i love this song sooo bad. Everytime i listen to this song i feel like I am an outlaw of the 19th century, riding my badass horse. Greetings from Greece.

[@andiprice7743]

Why is this not more popular????? I don’t understand how Chris Stapleton is such a world renowned voice yet The Steel Drivers go unnoticed????????

[@THEhandyman247]

Mainly because “country music radio” focuses more on what’s popular, hence why chris went solo.

[@HH-hj6mx]

It's all about the money and who got a contract, who was marketable. It's the industry and who they can make money from. Steeldrivers are relatively well known and did well for themselves in a real successful way. Chris has a really special voice that is one of a kind and he made some good choices with his career.

[@wellblowmedown7645]

​@HH-hj6mx besides the countless hits he wrote and or produced for many other artist prior to going on his own as they led him to do.

Not Country it's Bluegrass. There is a difference. Ky. Hillbilly here. Heard Bluegrass winding down the hollar drifting through the tree's, skipping over the creek many times. Bluegrass came from the hills and mountains of Ky. Scotts, English, Irish sound incorporated the banjo from the South with a mournful solitairy sound. The hardships of the hills is what makes it personal to those who get it. ✌️☯️🎶

I am so glad that Chris Stapleton is finally in the Spotlight. I love this Blues Grass Project, SteelDrivers and especially this song. I live a couple of miles from the Mississippi River and go over to Natchez quite a bit. Nothing like driving up and down those hills and roads where History was made. From the Natchez Indians, French, Spanish, English and everything in between. This song sums it up perfectly.
