The power in Chris's voice actually transcended the horrid phone cam audio quality. When he starts to belt out that chorus it's like his voice breaks through some dimensional rift that ignores the quality of whatever equipment is being used. This man's voice is too damn powerful to be constrained by technology.

This man's voice will pull you back from the edge, I promise.

The other thing to notice about the audience's reaction is the difference between before he starts singing and after. Before, it's like he's in some dive bar where nobody really cares that he's performing until after they start to hear him sing.....then crickets!

Could you imagine listening this in some basement bar.

What I especially love is the juxtaposition of his powerful voice accompanied with the sweet sounding acoustic guitar. It’s a perfect marriage.

I'm flying from Australia to see him in Memphis next month. Cannot wait.

Chris is so unreal. He makes me cry with that voice.

You absolutely need to go see him! You'll regret it if you don't. I was lucky enough to see him this summer.

His voice is so amazing that it's easy to overlook the vocal choices he makes. Not just a giant talent, but a true artist. I believe he'll be considered iconic, like Hank Williams and Patsy Cline.

This is a song he wrote when he was with the group Jompsin Brothers. He has a few amazing songs that he wrote with that group. He was also a member of The Steeldrivers. You should definitely check out some of their stuff. I would still love y'all to react to Fool Me Again by Chris. Great reaction guys!!

Many people know the song "Your Man" by Josh Turner in 2005 it was a number one hit. But a lot of people don't know it was written by Chris Stapleton. Please react to Chris Stapleton singing "Your Man" from the Bobby Bones Show.

Need to do Chris Stapleton fool me again

goose bumps

I love how the crowd went from noisy and rowdy to quiet as a church the minute he started singing. Then they erupted.

This will give you chills and raise hairs every time. So different. I cant place the style of it. And soooo good

Absolutely love the guitar on this song!! Thanks for this!

I work for an airline and considering flying to Austin in March to see him. I hope it’s a small venue. I want his voice to vibrate through my soul

crazy if u dont see him if u got the opportunity

Man, I wish that was a higher quality recording. It's just disrespectful to Chris' awesome instrument to not be able to fully appreciate it. Now I've got to find it somewhere.

I love that you did this one. I feel this way everyday. I love the version he did with The Jompson Brothers. Its so good as well On The Run!!👍

Melancholy is the word for the feeling when I hear it.

Barely Alive always gives me goosebumps!

Loved it! I recently saw a video of Janis Joplin doing the Tom Jones Show (1970-71 ?) we all loved because he had fantastic bands on. Janis and Tom sang and danced together so well together. Blown away!!!!

Told ya, I love this song

I swear to God,that man breathes and just exhales fucking MAGIC.

Love this song best singer love chris Stapleton

WOW This man's voice is gold

I'm thankful for God's gifts. I really appreciate listening to Chris sing. It's hard to believe

Love your channel. Two good men, or so it seems. You need to hear him sing Midnight Train to Memphis, live on SNL.

Also...this song doesn’t make me sad per se. it just brings back a montage of memories of doomed relationships.... my husband and I were separated for two years and the lead up to that wrecked both of us. I didn’t think I would make it. We’re back together and happy AF so listening to this just makes me “touch” the battle scars from that time period and shake my head that we pulled through

Two words for Mr. Stapleton..Simply Amazing

What is there to say......mind blown

just incredible talent .....

As a female I know how I always want more.... He just does something wonderful with the songwriting and then the DELIVERY.........

Lol, we should just call it the "Stapleton Head Shake", because it's what we all do when he hits those big notes. We just sit and shake our heads in awe.

Y'all should listen to Chris Stapleton with his Bluegrass band "The Steeldrivers"! You will love it!

So, Eddie's Atic in ATL is actually a well known club on the touring circuit. I was playing the same clubs when he was touring with Jompson Brothers ( around this time frame ) They had a huge following, but Chris went solo after this and the rest is history

No one deserves their success more than Chris Stapleton, but what I wouldn't give to have seen him in a venue like this before he became super famous.

On the Run by Chris Stapleton it's an actual rock song

If you’re thinking about Janis Joplin lately, that’s all the more reason to get know Beth Hart/Joe Bonamassa She also has a live solo version of “Am I the one” (Live at Paradiso) that’s crazy good, from just after she got out of rehab for depression and addiction. She’s came a long way from there till today.

Do scarecrow in the garden by Chris! It’s an awesome story

Love Stapleton. He could sandblast all of Ford Motors with that grit.

Almost can't stand how good he is...Almost.

Now you’ve heard the rock element from the Jompson Bros Days. The Steeldrivers, a blue grass group was really good. I think they did a version of “Midnight Train to Memphis” that you would enjoy. He also did this song in a live performance on Saturday Night Live with Sturgill Simpson that was great.

Whiskey and You.

Thanks guys for doing this one! Barley Alive is my go to song when I'm trying to go deep emotionally!

From the first time I listened to Chris S, it reminded of Janis J. They both express angst, anguish, suffering, etc. that you can feel yourself by listening. It's not always the lyrics or the singing of them, but the expression of the singer who transcends the lyrics. Some singers concern themselves with sounding "good" or "lovely" but aren't able to express emotions other than sweet or sad emotions. Personal suffering enhances one's ability to truly understand what it is really like, but not all are able to express it. Chris & Janis have/had that in spades.

Check out Yebba singing "My Mind" It blew my mind.

Check out Midnight Train to Memphis or The Devil Named Music by the legendary Chris Stapleton.

I didn't know he will be in Charleston! I would love to see him perform live so I gotta look into that. Will you guys react to Whiskey and You? (The one in the library setting) Please and thank you 😄

The Jompson Brothers..."On The Run" Chris Stapleton sings the lead...Outstanding!!!

The Chris Stapleton Reaction Channel! (that's not an insult).

Did you know this song is from a ROCK band Chris was in around 2010? They were called The Jompson Brothers. I love that the first song on the album is Ride My Rocket. A different side of Chris for sure.

You need to do another reaction to the actual record cut for this song! I love this version but as you said the quality just isn’t there! Plus y’all will like the full band (Jompson Brothers) with him, the guitar riffs are great.

That song was haunting...

your comments are great! other Chris songs to hear if you haven't already: either way - death row - cover of its a man's world - sometimes I cry - I was wrong - north dakota and there are so many many more songs past and present! Amazing artist!!

check out the song Nobody to blame by chris!!

Listen to "I just remembered that i didn't care" by Chris and John Mayer. Its top notch music 👌 it's live

Still waiting for You are my sunshine! Would love for you to react to Fool Me again by Chris Stapleton, he was much younger and was known more for his song writing than singing at the time. You will love it! Ok my next request you may find a bit strange, Barbra Streisand and John Mayer singing Come Rain or Come Shine. I know, wtf but please give it a try, it is amazing.

Yay you did it! Great reaction. (This isn't on your CS playlist btw). I will throw my hat in for Whiskey and You or Parachute on SNL.

Great Reaction Guys

Yes Sir!!!!

Holy shit! That is all

Chris Stapleton oozes soul, the guys is amazing. You should check out Myles Kennedy, Watch Over You.

the album version of this song is mind blowing

Did you notice all the noise and talking at the beginning and then he hit those notes and went from background noise to silence and everyone listening he just that damn good.

This one right here...

Please Oh Please..... Will you guys please listen and review Ray Lamontagne Empty, Jolene, Such a simple thing..... He is truly MAGICAL

You mentioned Janis Joplin, another singer who could take you places and make you feel things with a unique voice.

Hey guys. This is not a reaction request. There is an Aussie movie that has come out about a particular battle that the ANZACS where involved in in the Vietnam war that I would love for guys to see. Its called Danger Close.

DAMNNNN❤️

Great reaction as always !! Would love to here you guys react to the Marc Broussard song “Home”. He is great. Lots of soul !!

You guys should have a listen to Sierra Ferrell an the song i just think i’ll go away. Great voice on that woman.

Hey Guys, I’m a new subscriber and I’m a huge fan of the two of you, as well as a huge Chris Stapleton fan. Funny thing is I’m not into country music, but this man is something else. Absolutely more blues and soul than country to me. You need to check out Was it 26, Might as Well Get Stoned and Outlaw State of Mind. Thanks for the great reactions!

You need to hear the original version with him in his previous band The Jompson Brothers. They were a rock band and the original with the full band is how this song was intended to be heard. This live version is amazing and Chris' vocals are on point as always BUT the original song with its deep, dark bass and offbeat drumming sets an entirely different tone. This song was intended to be dark and painful. The lyrics and Chris' vocals are an expression of excruciating pain, that bass and those drums are needed to truly show this. Its an entirely different experience to hear the original with the full band. You said in the video "this song doesn't make you sad" and I agree this version doesn't.....but the original is almost dangerous to listen to if you were currently dealing with a love loss like that, especially if it was a toxic mindfuck situation. The original does make you feel it....it would be hard not to. Now, I would LOVE to hear a live performance of The Jompson Brothers or even Chris' current band playing this song with Chris wailing away. THAT would be amazing...I don't know if its on KZfaq anywhere but I guess I'll be searching after I finish this comment.

I know it's hard, but I would like to know what has been your favorite by Chris! He is amazing there's nothing he's sings that is bad ,he could sing the phone book as they say ,lol

Wow what a fantastic song. Check out fool me again, or broken halos by Chris Stapleton. 👍💗

Just remove the 'and' in your name. Will be more catchy 👍🏿😁 Always wonderful to watch you guys react to Chris.

You guys crack me up. Love to see reaction to Carrie Underwood live How Great Thou Art....or any of her videos...Throw in some Adele and Bruno Mars live too...

Should react to his work with steeldrivers. Try ghost of Mississippi or if it hadnt been for love

Please please please check out his stuff from when he was part of the Steeldrivers! It's some of his greatest music! Some of their top songs are: "Where Rainbows Never Die' "If It Hadn't Been For Love' "Blue Side of the Mountain"

Hearing a little Joe Cocker vocials, and ZZ Top on guitar in this one!

Good comparison. At some point Stan needs to hear Piece Of My Heart and Crybaby

Guys I would love to see your reaction to Chris doing Nothing Compares to You . It’s a Prince tribute

Take a look at Chris Stapleton unreleased song @station inn.. I think it’s his best song

Do he and his wife singing "You Are My Sunshine". It's unlike any version you've ever heard

Play Watch You Burn from his new album, about the Las Vegas Massacre a few years ago.

The jompson brothers - the river

check out if it hadnt been for love by the steeldrivers. gotta make sure its the version before Chris left the band.

Through the mountains and woods, windows down, driving fast

jompson brothers- barley alive. it's still chris singing. look it up on spotify

Please make a when the seasons change or a remember everything video by five finger death punch

Thank you Gents ❤️✌️🔥

This was obviously recorded on someone's mobile, and even though the sound quality is poor, his voice is so powerful, it doesn't even matter. I don't think he even needs a microphone. Fool Me Again, Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore, Whiskey and You, Midnight Train to Memphis, all great choices for your next review. BTW, sorry about what my Patriots did to your Steelers lol. JK

It makes me think he needs to get with some R and B and or some Blues folks doing something together.

you need to listen to , It's a Mans World/Chris Stapleton...

I suggest that you listen to 'I'm Sorry' by Blake Shelton (featuring Martina McBride) which was written by Chris Stapleton.

Check out the performance of the jompson brothers at The Shed in maryville Tennessee...

Fucking sprint mobile phone. Crying

You guys should check out some Ben Nichols try woke up in New Orleans
