Chris Stapleton

[dreadnut]

Ilove this guy's songs and his voice. I've been researching Chris, and I'm really impressed that he is a devoted husband and father, writes his own songs, and sings harmony with his wife.

I always assumed he was singing songs other people wrote. In fact, it's just the other way around - he wrote songs for other people for years.

Yes he wrote a lot of country hits before he made it on his own.

I first heard/saw him on the CMA's a few years back where he did Tennessee Whiskey with Justin Timberlake. Then I played Tennessee Whiskey at a gig a month or so later and someone came up and told me they thought I was playing He's So Blind which I discovered is basically the same 2 chord tune with the same guitar hook and the same melody. Which I just heard the other day while rewatching the Muscle Shoals documentary on Prime.

If you haven't seen the Muscle Shouls doc. you should.

I'm not a big country fan, but "When the Star Come Out" is a great song. Tells a great story, and the opening riff he does is sweet.
