Chris is his own genre. Keep him comin'.

He’s definitely a once in a generation talent.

That is him playing Welcome to the Chris Stapleton rabbit hole

I never cared about genre or whatever category people are in, all I know is I love music, and if it moves me, I love it. God Gifted talent like this feeds my soul. I’m gonna be 67, I listen to all kinds of music, have all my life, forget the genre’s, doesn’t matter. I’ve never been one to say “Oh I only listen to this or I never listen to that”. We’re ALL Souls, I enjoy watching young people like you listening to things you didn’t know and seeing how much you get it too.

This is absolutely what country music use to be. Telling stories and making you feel things.

Chris Stapleton is a BOSS!

The vibe is slow, sad, lonely and that of a man on death row. It all blends so well, to let you feel the heart of a man awaiting his day.

Yes… Cold live at the CMA AWARDS SHOW!!!

WHY DON'T WE JUST CALL IT GREAT MUSIC. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first time hearing this song too. Dammmn sultry walk on death row. Loved it, the man is amazing.

Chris is defintely a blues/bluegrass/country multi faceted melting pot

I typically dont like songs being interrupted but watching you listen to Chris Stapleton from a fresh perspective is great. I can tell you feel his music.

Really cant put chris in a box hes.a mixture of country, rock, r&b,blues,southern rock,jazz hes just his own genre good

I can feel his pain in every song. He draws u into him. He is the greatest

That lead guitar is incredible! What’s more incredible is Chris is singing and playing the lead!

He's usually the lead guitar in most of his song's too. Also most folk's dont realize his wife also is a well known song writer and sings with him in most songs!

First time I ever heard this song, I closed my eyes & could visualize someone walking that "last mile". He & his writing can take you places & that's the mark of a great musician. Imo

Great reaction, it's blues chris wrote it .

That’s him on the guitar.

Definitely watch Chris perform live he is amazing - Cold at the CMA awards is fire 🔥

This is one of those special artists that transcends any genre. I am not a country fan, but I am a big fan of a handful of artist they place in that genre. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks (one of the best concerts I have ever seen), and Chris Stapleton.

Love hearing your reaction to Chris Stapleton!! Reminds me of my first time hearing Snoop. Im an ole, white hillbilly lady, but I think it's time we all just came together with some good music and love and support each other!!! Love to you, Brother!

Time stands still whenever Chris sings 🙌🏼

Chris is playing the guitar. He is doing this alone . No sound affects. Actually his base player is with him.

He wrote this song in 2007 with a Steel Drivers band mate. Then rereleased it on his 2017 album. So glad he did. Love your reactions

You’ll be hard pushed to find a Chris Stapleton song that you won’t like. For something more upbeat, try Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton live at the CMAs 2015 doing Tennessee Whiskey/Drink You Away 🙂

The blues and country music are so much alike in so many ways.

Chris can do it all. He started out in bluegrass (steel drivers), went on to rock/blues (jompson brothers) now on his own. He sings, writes his own songs and plays the heck out of the guitar. As Stan below said, Chris is his own genre.

Dude, you should hear this song live!! It's fricken awesome!!

2:32 Chris' music is just a beautiful blend of roots music (or Americana). He's blues, country, folk, gospel/soul, and rock and roll, among others. His music, regardless of genre, is outstanding

That's soul....

Add "Cold" to your playlist....simply a must! Very talented brother!!

You are right. This is unbelievable. Soo great.

I just LOVE Chris Stapleton! OMG he’s the best!!!!

Chris is simply incredible. You’ll understand as you continue to,listen to him. Funny, I am not a fan of most country music, but I am absolutely obsessed with Chris. That’s him playing guitar, his wife sings with him and his entire band is amazing. We’ve seen him in concert three times and will be seeing him in October, 2022 again (tickets have been purchased). I never thought I’d continue to see the same artist over and over again, but he’s addicting. He’s SO fantastic live. As others have said, you definitely need to check out his live performance of Cold. You’ll be blown away.

Country is just the white man's blues. Every genre dips into blues and r&b. Today's music has no soul to me. I miss the good stuff that makes you feel. Like Chris he makes you feel. Edit: the beat always gives me the mental image of them walking an inmate to the death chamber.

His band is so fabulous too and they do covers of all kinds of music. He’s Kentucky born and bred so not only country but blues in his blood.

First time I’ve seen ur channel and enjoying it. His song Tennessee whiskey is smooth and good

Chris wrote this song and has said this is his personal favorite!

Great reaction, thanks for doing it! Stapleton’s genre is Stapleton… he floats, and it’s awesome. Not sure if others have mentioned it, but that lead guitar that was killing it is almost certainly Stapleton himself… yeah, he’s that good!

I stopped trying to a genre for Chris Stapleton. Soul, R&B, funk, pop, gospel and country all rolled up into one fine voice.

Blues, Country, whatever it is Its Chris Stapleton expressing life situations 1 of a kind musician Awesome.....

Reminds me of BB King’s the Thrill is gone.. definitely a vibe.🔥🔥

Been in music my whole life, country music runs blue scales, all music is absolutely beautiful just time and error is different with different people

Chris is a BEAST! Keep him in the rotation!

So glad to see someone react to THIS particular song. Chris Stapleton is my favorite singer.

Many country fans also enjoy the Blues. To us, both say America's Heart and America's soul in similar yet in different ways. I love Chris as he's found a mix of the two that works well for him.

This artist is an old soul. Love his music.

He’s a gift. All wrapped up in one soulful package. God Bless this man.

Lead singer and lead guitar all one amazing singer, songwriter, and proformer

polo reactions make me re-live mine as I grew my listening over the years knowing the best, elder now! live love laugh you remind of a past love his name "Polo" no cap good vibes

Blues yes its what I started with down the music listening road BLUES deep man

Chris admired B.B. King and you can tell it colored his style alot. He is more country Soul/ Blues. He actually is his own genre which has spread through Country Soul AND Southern Rock.

This was a great song, a great singer, ,and a true honest review. Thank you for sharing it.

His music is that just chill on ur porch with a drink solo n just listen n vibe

Chris Stapleton when he was with the “Steelers” a great bluegrass band turned me into a devotee in 2010+ now he’s turning me back onto The purest blues Along these similar lines another soulful singer I found “ Joss Stone “ back in the day, I think it was about the same time it’s really hard to pick the genre because she has so many I try her earliest when she was just 17 another great BritishSOULFUL singer

Has been one of my brothers and I favorites for over 2 years

Seeing him live is just like the record! The man can sing anything!

People are finding it impossible to put Chris into one box, country, blues, rock, southern rock or what. 😄 I think he's his own genre.

Country has history with the blues

My first time hearing this song,love the blues

One of my favorites of his!

Must listen to the song Cold. By Chris Stapleton

He's blues and country the best of both worlds

Pole, country IS the original blues 💙

You're right, it is the blues. IMO, when hip hop commanded so much of black musicians' talent, the blues suffered and surprisingly was absorbed by some country musicians. I hope artists like Chris Stapleton reinvigorate a new generation of blues artists, we need it.

Ya thats the! feeling I got as well! Great western movie music!!!!

I've never heard this one. I'd stop it too. This is feels

My favorite song of his

You have turned me on to Chris and now I can't get enough of him. In the process, I became a fan of yours. I like you as a person and enjoy your taste in music. Your analyses are spot on. Thank you for the great entertainment. This little old lady in Indiana is grateful. I wish you a blessed life!

That is he means what he sings. He is in every genre. He used to have a rock band.

Yes... a mean growl, wicked guitar and a heart so big it just fills me up.

Oh! Chris Stapleton does an amazing cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. Seriously worth checking out.

You can feel his guitar.

this song is legit

I’m not a country fan myself but Chris is an exception. I put him in more of the blues genre as well. 😁

Love that song! He sings Country Blues Try all his songs!!! #♥️ChrisStapleton💙

That's the blue's.

Chris is amazing! Watch him live!

Chris is in a genre all his own! Nothing or nobody else like him. He makes you feel everything he sings! Oh and on a different note, you remind me so much of MrLboyd and how he does his reactions. Check him out if you don’t know of him ❤️😂

The sound conveyed in this song is the sound of screeching steel like cell doors (at the intro), and the background music sounding like someone ambling or shuffling down the prison halls.

I thought the song was gonna be full of machismo and all that and it really became personal and deep. It felt like I understood why he was there without knowing why he was there and I was sorry as hell he was. Very cool. I feel like this could've been played in the late 50s early 60s and would've drove audiences wild.

Literal straight up chills

He's playing that guitar. Love the voice ❤

Genius musicians transcend genre...Stapleton is one such...nothing he cant do...hes been graced with the gift.

Chris does Country, Rock, Blues, Bluegrass, and mixtures of some and all. His Rock is with the band called The Jompson Brothers, Bluegrass is The Steel Drivers, Country is self-entitled, and Blues can be found in all of it.

I cannot think of one song Chris Stapleton has written and/or sings that I do not enjoy entirely. He sends me to another place and time every time.

Thank you for stopping the track and saying what you think and feel. I've already heard the track and have my own feel on it. I watch these kinds of videos because I wanted to hear your opinion. I could have missed something you might see or hear which adds to the way I can experience the music. That's why you just got me as a subscriber. Much love to you for what you're doing.

This Stuff can heal the World , music is the Medicine

Story of the song every thimp in it is a footstep with the chains scraping and he tells his thoughts before his time

He is unique......this is not typical country....the man is country soul, country blues.......

Chris Stapleton writes, sings and plays his own stuff. As for this particular song, it is my opinion that the beat/rhythm of the song is akin to walking or a gait. Meaning, the inmate is walking to his death.

Dude first time I heard this…this is an awesome aong. Don’t know much bout him but Tennessee Whiskey. I need to dcool myself. Thanks✌🏻

I hope you saw him SLAY at the Grammy's last night! He's bad!

That is gritty my guy. Love the simplicity

Blues for sure 🙂

Chris has some amazing soulful runs! This is one of my very favorite reaction channels! You do a great job to really hear the music and give it a chance! This reminds me of Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughn and Before you accuse me by Eric Clapton … blues music my dad loves and it is great!

Blues on this one !

You have to check out Chris Stapleton and H.E.R. at the 2021 CMT awards. Amazing!

Chris says he sings the Truth. That’s his genre.
