Chris Stapleton REACTION Sometimes I Cry LIVE

[@sherrijean03]

Again..... 1 of my absolute things on KZbin, is watching people discover Chris Stapleton for the first time! Same reactions every time and it never gets old!!

[@hacksaw5918]

I know. It is becoming an addiction and yet I am still awed by Chris my self. To take a song like this with very few words and is able to take you to another place with words like I cry.. not sure anyone else could do thst

[@sherrijean03]

hacksaw 59 absolutely ❤️

[@kelleykelkel3370]

omg!!! I love seeing them!!

[@stonecold3318]

Chris sounds better live than 70 % of artist in the studio...He is a vocal Beast.....

[@warrenmichael918]

90% i think you hit the wrong number ! haha

[@xJayhawkFANx]

@@warrenmichael918 90? Try 95

[@neetrab]

That's nothing new. Yeah, he's great.

[@hacksaw5918]

98% & I dont think those 2% are still alive

[@patriciahulett4411]

Chris Stapleton is a Soul singer, once you listen to him he is in your soul forever.

[@cureton04]

The first song he released that I remember was 'what are you listening to?' His wife morgane encouraged him to step out front and be an artist instead of writing for everyone else. She is the woman singing with him and Justin on the first video and is an amazing singer in her own right. They do a version of you are my Sunshine where she takes lead and a version of Amanda where her harmonies are strong.

[@Onetigerl]

Just him and his guitar, stripped down and raw as hell. The emotion he puts into every syllable makes a person literally feel the song.

[@bridgettjean2597]

Most talented dude alive. Every song is amazing 💯🇺🇸❤️

[@cptlaneway]

Pure soulful majesty is Chris Stapleton.

[@theacousticchristian9988]

It's all in the delivery. And Chris delivers. Sometimes, less really is more, especially when conveying a message through song. He is second to none.

[@slk8322]

He was writing for others ,, but the soul heart , old soul country

[@rionsummers3029]

The first time I saw Chris sing was in 2006 at a bluegrass festival at Graves Mountain lodge in central Virginia with a band called the Steeldrivers. He left the band shortly after that to pursue his solo career...the rest is history. Glad I had the opportunity to see him perform in another genre before he became the mega star he is today. At the concert, the band played 30 minute sets and signed autographs between sets. I got to meet him and He is exactly who he is onstage. Look up the steel drivers “blue side of the mountain”,”if it hadn’t been for love” or my favorite “midnight train to Memphis” if you want a real glimpse of the Kentucky artist in his true element. You are welcome.

[@arkiemomma9832]

Blue Side of the Mountain is so gooooooooood😍

[@leslie8888]

His wife, Morgane, sings with him and her voice is so frickin amazing as well! When they sing together omg!

[@leeswhimsy]

Just him and that old guitar....LOVE. You gotta watch Man's World.

[@appalachianqueen8369]

Chris is from Paintsville, Kentucky. That region has gifted the music world with the likes of Patty Loveless, Dwight Yoakum, Ricky Skaggs, Keith Whitley, The Judds, Tyler Childers and numerous talented singers, songwriters and instrumentalists.

[@welp5125]

Appalachian Queen lol yeah I’m from Johnson country right next to paintsville. I’ve grown up listening to all of them. I have family in all the surrounding areas

[@neetrab]

They didn't gift me anything. I don't know them, probably because I dont listen to country music or whatever music they've done.

[@mgaamerica9185]

I agree 100%, something about that region. The little town in Indiana I’m from has a lot of people from eastern Kentucky in it, and so many bands, just a lot of musically gifted people in it.

[@CZMuzic2714]

Don’t forget Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gale. Greasy Creek ( Lynn and Gale’s home town) is a small town in Paintsville, KY. My mother’s land was adjacent to the Webb land. So much talent has come out of those mountains. It’s a beautiful area.

[@sherrytarr6400]

Dwight's from Bakersfield CA

[@MindyImwalle]

Ohio here too, with Kentucky roots! Love you guys!

[@johnsullivan5640]

Love the reaction. He leaves you speechless. Chris can sang!!!!!!

[@elizabethmier4150]

So true how he pulls back like that and you admire how stripped down it is 💞

[@StanleyRodgers]

This song, and especially this version of this song, give me the same vibe as "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers. Two men unashamedly expressing their sadness in the absence of their women. Man I love this.

[@mikebeasley6447]

THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF CHRIS'S VOICE HAS TO BE "GRAVEL MIXED WITH HONEY"!!!!!

[@bigkw1568]

Generational talent ...You need to see this dude live

[@bridgettjean2597]

This song is one of a kind....

[@bryanmyers3896]

Great reaction It's a man's world Barely Alive acoustic version Nothing compares to you(Prince tribute) Scarecrow in the Garden

[@Mike-iy6sy]

He was a song writer for a long time. He also was in bands named The Steel Drivers and The Jompson Brothers.

[@tonyc7831]

“I Was Wrong” live version “Barely Alive” live acoustic “Whiskey and You” live “Drink a Beer” The list goes on

[@detectivekornfed]

I love the look you two exchanged as soon as Chris saaang one note! He's unbelievably talented. :) Chris wrote Sometimes I Cry, and although he didn't write Tennessee Whiskey, he arranged it with its infectious blues and subtle Southern soul/rock sound.

[@shawnuel]

Chris merged two songs for his version of Tennessee Whiskey. The Country song, Tennessee Whiskey was written by Dean Dillon and Chris takes those lyrics and marries them with the basic musical structure of blues song, "I'd Rather Go Blind", performed by Etta James.

[@josephjackson7269]

He is just great. Raw. No autotune. Reminds me of that young girl Sherlock from Ireland. No autotune. Just terrific

[@slk8322]

He wrote many before he came out singing oh my soul mmmmm🙏😥💔❤🕊

[@omarsoliman6430]

Stapleton is outright AMAZING!! Only god knows where that voice comes from.

[@gregghatcher6092]

He has been writing songs for years for large artists. His wife told him he start singing his own songs. Check out his very earliest song I know of that he has sung. It’s Fool me again It was on a song writers cruise!

[@marcellagregg1694]

Your reactions are fantastic. React to What Are You Listening To live..Chris Stapleton was also in a band called the Steeldrivers, which is bluegrass, and a band called The Jompson Brothers , which is rock. Also check out his Tiny Desk Concert series..He sings with his wife Morgane , she is a fantastic singer in her own right..Love you guys. Keep up the great work.

[@davidshafer5208]

Chris is transcendent. Don’t stop!!!

[@digittbr1688]

I appreciate the Stapleton reactions. Give What Are You Listening To a try and see what you think.

[@kylegibbs6760]

He was behind the scenes for years writing songs for everyone, even Adele. He had a bluegrass band and a southern rick band for a while. Really broke out when he performed with Justin Timberlake at the cma’s.

[@geniej9093]

He rips one's heart to pieces

[@KarlaQuimby]

Rn him and jelly roll, are right there at the top, love both these guys.

[@williamharris730]

i first heard Chris Stapleton was in a bluegrass band called the Steeldrivers but i think the song that really made his career was Tennessee Whisky he is one of the greatest singers out right now his voice is very soulful

[@shackdiesel225]

His big break was the performance y’all did with him and Timbelake at the CMA’s. He had sold 70,000 albums the day before that. After the performance and his 3 CMA victories he sold 600,000 albums the next 48 hours. He’s been off to the moon ever since. Did it the old school way, through performance not social media. Keep up the good work fellas.

[@shackdiesel225]

EMN emn Not many people are in the music industry. I realize he was known by some before that. I was a fan of the Steeldrivers and saw him for $12 in a venue that held 300 people before the CMA’s . After the CMA’s I saw him play to a sold out Turner field after the Braves game which no one showed up to until the 7th inning because everyone was there to see him. So, yes people knew of him but the CMA’s were absolutely his big break. Like I said he sold 70,000 albums before it and then sold 600,000 only 48 hours later. Doesn’t take a genius to examine that and determine it was a huge break for him.

[@shackdiesel225]

@EMN emn my comment was about the majority of the general public being unaware of him not people that grew up with him lol. I grew up with Morgane not that its relevant to my original comment and I can assure you that if you ask them they will tell you themselves that his career absolutely blasted off into anther stratosphere the very hour after that CMA performance. I apologize for triggering you that was not my intent.

[@Greg1096]

Im pretty sure the year he performed with Timberlake is the year he won like 3 awards at the CMA's including Best male vocalist. The JT thing is not what made him blow up, since the album had gone platinum before then, it was a great performance with JT though , just not the career maker you are making it out to be. He had also been nominated for multiple Grammy awards with the steeldrivers and had won a Grammy for best bluegrass album.

[@hacksaw5918]

@@shackdiesel225 not sure how one wins 3 CMA awards and hasn't broken out till after that but you could be write. I know I was thinking at the time who is this guy so maybe a lot of people like me. I kinda go in and out of country and back to 70's rock especially southern rock.

[@Dangkho8]

Love your reaction. Looked like you guys been Dimashified 🤗🤗🤗

[@funwithmaggie4353]

Fellow Kentuckian and new subscriber here! Great reaction. Chris is extraordinarily talented.

[@kathybalmas528]

He's better live than recorded

[@lilme420]

Love the video you should try Chris Stapleton =fool me again its🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shawnguinup6971]

Knew you'd be blown away by this one. Good Channel keep it up

[@LadyGator1983]

You guys need to check out Chris’s song “Daddy Don’t Pray Anymore.” I discovered this song the week my daddy passed away. We played it at his funeral. When I looked up the history, Chris’s wife Morgan was getting ready for some event they need to go to and he was rushing her. She said go sit down and write a song. He sat down and wrote the song in like 15 minutes. You guys really need to check it out! It’s an emotional song that you need to be prepared for, but this is something this talented man pulled out of his body in 15 minutes. This song is one that all of us can relate to at some point in our life.

[@chantellecline6945]

I love Chris Stapleton, I love the fact live he sounds I think even better. That's hard to find in todays music industry unfortunately. He definitely has a god given voice. To me he isn't country, more of a mix with soul and blues tones. My mother is a big blues fan and I had her listen to this song and she just can't get past his country roots and doesn't get it. I don't understand because he is amazing regardless if you like country or not.

Chris Stapleton - Fool Me Again

[@paulschmidt1644]

Tennessee whiskey, death row, this is a mans world, all by Chris Stapleton, it will blow your hair back.

[@robertguando9192]

I second that for Mark Broussard. You guys will be BLOWN AWAY. Just like Chris Stapleton.

[@MrRobbiewoodward]

He was the front man for a blue grass country band called The Steeldrivers He wrote a song Adele had a #1 with You two should check out the steeldrivers song "where rainbows never die" And my personal favorite "Angel of the night" The album Traveler was his break out album won album of the year Grammy with that, also the song "fire away" is incredible. He's the man! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@phoenixfox2697]

Robbie woodward Adele covered If It Hadn’t Been For Love at one of her concerts as well.

[@geoffsimpkins7650]

Break out was the video for Fire Away, which attracted Timberlake, and the rest is history.

[@travischapman3140]

He was in The Steeldrivers for years before the Justin Timberlake performance

[@johncronic9775]

I love it! And jam up job on the reaction. Less pauses and letting people see you react like they did in real time. Enjoyed it all👍

[@arleneelvisgirl4451]

He's from Lexington where I've lived for the last five years. Home of the best college basketball team ever! And lots of beautiful horses! I'm moving back home from there soon but I'll still be in Kentucky where I was born and raised!

[@tmoney7643]

If you like Chris you should also check out some Mark Broussard. You WILL NOT regret it.

[@oregonchick76]

SO MUCH THIS. Marc Broussard is amazing! From when he was pretty much a kid doing "Home" to more recent work doing covers of soul classics like "Cry to Me," it's ALL beautifully done. His voice is simply incredible.

[@JJ_Adventures]

Thanks much to the both of you. This guy is fucking awesome lol

[@Buffalo_Sauce337]

Grew up with marc. He was always saying we would be buying his records. He was right.

[@randyandrews5389]

Listen to Chris with the Steel drivers from ten years ago, the talent was always there.

[@jimmyharris4340]

“Nobody to blame” was his first song on the radio if I’m not mistaken!! But Tennessee Whiskey was the biggest song off that album

[@detectivekornfed]

As Chris C. wrote below, I think it was, "What Are You Listening To?" :)

[@jimmyharris4340]

detectivekornfed you could b right... nobody to blame was the first song I heard tho!! Lol

[@madhatter6549]

Right on guys,, enjoying your reacts... Signed one of the NW army...Rock on

[@jeremyandrews3567]

He has wrote songs for years for other artists. Then his wife convinced him to break out and that why at the CMA's so many artists were loving his music. They've known for a long time how good he is.

[@jeffstumpf9129]

For me, Chris’ breakout song was “Tennessee Whiskey”, which he didn’t write, but as far as I’m concerned is the best version. He did write, “Sometimes I Cry”. Morgane Stapleton, his wife, has a beautiful old time country voice, like from the 30s, or 40s. Her harmonies with Chris are amazing.

[@roygarrett1663]

Vocal coaches call his scream as distortion. Just a vocal term used for him and Janice Joplin as well. I subbed with you guys today. Love your reactions.

Thanks, Roy!

Chris was also in several bands including a bluegrass band and a rock band. Yall should definitely react to the song he did with Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars.

[@dkadkins6545]

1) a beat up, old guitar is a musician's best friend. 2) when you have Chris Stapleton's voice you don't need flourish and complexity 3) this was an acoustic set, so simple is typical

There is one song I would love for you to react to, it's called "Je suis malade" by Lara Fabian, there is one version with english lyrics since she sings that one in french. But I can promise you that there's no one even close to portraying the feeling of being hurt like she does, it is frankly unbelievable. Looking forward to seeing more of you guys!

[@josephg6536]

I'm sure the song that put him on the map was drink a beer, the song puke Bryan, I mean Luke Bryan sang. In the video Chris is featured in the background singing back up vocals, though he wrote for many people before and since, and also sang lead for a bluegrass band called the steeldrivers
