I love how you write your thoughts down instead of interrupting the song! I'll never get tired of this performance. Chris and his wife Morgane are a perfect duo.
Your style of reacting is the bEST! We get to see it all on your face, and read your thoughts at the same time! More Chris Stapleton live!! You will enjoy it as much as we do!
In case you didn’t know Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove wrote this and singer David Allen Coe sang it back in 1981. It only went to #77 on country chart. Then George Jones sang it inn 1983 and it went to #2 on Hot country singles chart. Then came Chris Stapleton since he got ahold of it it’s gone 14x platinum. There have been others to sing it also. If this doesn’t tell you what kind of singing capabilities he has nothing will. Then take the hundreds he has written for others and how many have gone #1. To have the success he has along with a beautiful wife and 5 beautiful children. Shows just how much god has given him. To have all the awards and just his overall success and still be grounded and be grounded and act like your next door neighbor. He’s a on red of a kind and I feel blessed that I am here and able to see and hear what is definitely a once in a lifetime singer.
I Love the way you chose to do your reactions by not stopping the song , but to write below , and then commentating after 👍, the BEST 🌹🙏🏻✝️ GOD BLESS . Also Love when you do AJ songs . Thank you .
My girl...yes...Sabina Sabina Sabina! Thank you for finally getting to Chris Stapleton! Now let me watch ur reaction. And yes LIVE Chris is better than studio. Perfect. Mark
I like your comments in text like this. A couple of other reactors are doing the same. Me - I am jumping from one Chris Stapleton Reaction video to the next - He has a ton of excellent work, but always go for the LIVE versions. He is one of the best live performers out there today. He is dressed like Country, has the hair for Rock & Roll and the voice of Soul.
That woman is his wife. Well done Sabina. This is the music we listen to on a pontoon boat in rural Alabama. Us country folk have our own culture and music. It's a lot of fun.
Actually Dean Dillion and Linda Hargrove wrote this song. Several people have performed it over the last 35 years or so, but I think Chris absolutely owns this song now and it will be the version that everyone remembers.
He is ALWAYS better live than in the studio. I think it’s because he’s just so free flowing and improvised that the studio actually limits his talent. Check out Cold live at the CMAs and his performance with Justin Timberlake at the CMAs too. Please and thank you bunches 🖤🖤
"Tennessee Whiskey" was written in 1981 by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove. The pair decided to write a song together after meeting each other at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. He had an idea for it for some time and they went back to Hargrove's house to write the song at four o'clock in the morning. If you listen to any of the first recordings of this song by any other artist you'll be shocked because they sound NOTHING like Chris's version which, by the way, some say he borrowed heavily from an old Etta James blues song called "I'd Rather Go Blind" for his melodic changes and arrangement.
The first time I heard him, I was reminded of that Robbie Burns poem, For a' That and a' That. Burns' point is that we cannot judge a man by his outward appearance and form; the qualities of the inner self, individual talent, intellectual integrity, and morality are the most essential. Stapleton looked like a cross between a cowboy and a country picker, so I expected something less than what I heard. Yes, I did hear a bit of Merle Haggard and Keith Whitley, but I also got Ray Chares, BB King, and Sam Cooke as well. Add the gospel/Mowtown as well as the Southern Rock and bluegrass/hillbilly influences and the meticulous attention to the form of the songs and their arrangements and we got something that is very special and different. There is a clip where his wife is being interviewed about Chris's song, Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore, which he supposedly wrote while waiting for her to change before going out. I think that Morgana was a bit pissed about the implications of women always making their husbands wait and taking too much time trying to make themselves look just a bit better, so she set the interviewer straight when he said that Chris wrote so quickly. She said that he never really wrote the song. Great artists have a lot floating within them that they are regularly playing with, so Chris just pulled the song out of the pile of material that is in his head. (Think of Michaelangelo talking about the statue being in the stone; he just drew it out, and you get the idea.) Chris is one of the great writers of American music, but he is still just getting started on that front. In a way, he reminds me of Hank Williams, who always had a lot of stuff floating around in his head and was very prolific. I love the talent. The man is remarkable and deserves the good things that have come his way. He certainly picked his wife well. She is also a very good writer on her own and fits the band perfectly because everyone, including Chris, knows to do as little as possible when required and let the beauty of the performances shine through.
Here in the U.K., we are fed very little in the way of Country style music. For me, this has a flavour of the great Bob seger..one of my favourite US male singers. As for this gent, you can almost taste the Tennessee whisky such is the beautiful atmosphere this song generates. A new artist for me and what a great introduction to his style. Sabina..I loved the laid back style you demonstrated. Great song and reaction.
@@j0k3rday …I was under the impression he had died. Looking into this in more detail, he is very much alive. Seems I took some notice of what was an obvious hoax doing the rounds in the past. Thank you for correcting me, I’ll change my post.👍
Sorry Chris, but this is'nt a country song. This is a direct reworking of "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James from 1967! The only thing different is the lyric. The melody, tempo, instruments, arrangement, production, and overall feel, are all a carbon copy of the original SOUL classic.

You should check out his performance of the American national anthem at the Super Bowl last night. Everyone had tears. And it wasn’t because of the song 🖤
@@sabina1118 Always love your reactions and they way you do them. We still get to know your thoughts, but also just experience your uninterrupted experience 🖤
That woman lol is his wife...she is why we even have him. He suffered from severe stage fright, but she said she would always be there and the World needed to hear him. Listen to...What are you listening to... Sometimes I Cry...Cold from the Grammy Awards ..live...Say Something with him And JT done live in one take.
1:26 Yeah, this is the best performance of the song, maybe it’s to do with him singing it to his wife! Your reaction to it was predictable, I’m a fella and it gives me goosebumps 😂!
The entire set he did was amazing - Check out "I WAS WRONG" He was a song writer and wrote several hits sung by other artists. It was his wife Morgane that convinced him to perform. There is a HUGE LIST of amazing songs. I Was Wrong - Soul & Blues - Amazing! Cold - Soul - Cuts to the core Parachute - Rock/Country Fire Away - Watch the music video - this will gut you its so emotional Broken Halos - Rock/Country Nobody to Blame - Blues What Are You Listening To - Live acoustic More of You - Live - Acoustic - You will SEE the love between them Fool Me Again - Very old, I think this is when people figured out he can sing. Song writers cruise, he & another guy wrote this the day before they performed it. Chris's voice = pure power But there's more! The dude is a major collaborator Tennessee Whisky/Fool Me Again - CMA Awards with Justin Timberlake (THIS PERFORMANCE LAUNCHED CHRIS) Love Me Anyway - with Pink Sweet Symphony - with Joy Oladokun - This was released a few months ago - very nice duet Maggie's Song - with Miranda Lambert - if you have pets, you will cry You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive - CMA Awards with Patty Loveless - Amazing performance And this is the tip of the iceberg - Wanna blow your mind? His wife Morgane can sing and not just background harmonies You Are My Sunshine - Chris & Morgane Stapleton - Chris has "You Are My Sunshine" engraved on his wedding ring Amanda - Grand Ole Opry - This is bluegrass and when she hits those notes, I guarantee you will smile
Not my 1st time hearing this one but the 1st time I heard his voice, his song "Starting Over" was playing over the credits to Channing Tatum's movie, "Dog." I just had to find out whose voice that was! BTW if you watch the video for that one, you do get a peek behind the scenes of them recording. The only other song that you should listen to the studio version of is "Death Row". The atmosphere created on that is chilling.
J'apprécie énormément que vous n'intervienez pas en coupant l'artiste comme beaucoup trop de soi-disant coach vocaux. Vous nous laissez apprécier la musique à 100%. Vos commentaires en incrustation sont un régal et pleins de bon sens. Bien Cordialement de Belgique.
Wow this is good. Amazing live performance. And the lyrics hit hard, what I get, is that he was falling into a dark alcohol addiction but his wife saved him from that and he's saying that his wife is better than the alcohol. Damn Deep! From the soul for sure.
Some don't know but early on in his carrier and even some later, he suffered from stagefright and you will see when that happens, he will stare at his wife (The back up singer) for her strong support ,, They are a team!!!
Nope. This is a direct reworking of "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James from 1967! The only thing different is the lyric. The melody, tempo, key, instruments, arrangement, production, and overall feel, are all a carbon copy of the original SOUL classic.
@@moosic2i Before 2015 Chris was a song writer for over a decade, he made a living and fed his family writing the music and lyrics for A list country artists, he's credited with close to a dozen #1's and ton more that hit top 20, so why would he need to "rip anyone off"? On the weekends him and his band played local dive bars around Nashville for fun and a few bucks. They covered Tennessee Whiskey but with a more blues/gospel feel to it. Yes you read that correctly, they covered it, he DID NOT write new lyrics to Etta's song. Tennessee Whisky was written in 1980 by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove, they offered it to George Straight but he turned it down, but David Allen Coe loved and released it on his 1981 album of the same name. Then 2yrs later in 1983 George Jones released it as a single. Then nothing until Chris released it, but with less twang and more soul. It had become such a fan favorite in the dive bars, his manager talked him into including it on his debut album. Songs are copyrighted two ways, the lyrics and the music, each hold independent copyrights, even if the same person wrote the music and lyrics. His record label paid Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove as writers of the lyrics, but the music nor the lyrics to I'd Rather Go Blind were written by Etta James, her friend Ellington Jordon wrote the lyrics and she polished them up, then copyrighted under Billy Foster, Etta's singing partner at the time. I don't know if you play or can read music, but if you know your blues and R&B music very well, you could probably find a lot of songs that sound the same musically. I'd Rather Go Blind and Tennessee Whiskey are not note for note the same song. Both songs have the 12/8 rhythmic meter, are in the key of A, and have a chord progression often found in classic gospel and soul music. Stapleton and James have a similar singing style, too, that's it. You cannot copyright a rhythm, or a time signature. Not to mention, Etta was one of Chris's biggest influences growing up, if anyone from Etta's family thought he was ripping her off, Chris would write them a check in 2 seconds.
When I first saw this video my very first thought at the end of it was that I would not take a date to a Chris Stapleton concert unless we were already in a very stable, committed relationship, lol.
Forget the rest...u r still the best. Wonderful reaction. It's not an original by Chris. Chaka did cover the Chris version of it tho. All ur comments are just so on point. Thanks again. Hugs. Mark
Correct, not an original. This is a direct reworking of "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James from 1967! The only thing different is the lyric. The melody, tempo, key, instruments, arrangement, production, and overall feel, are all a carbon copy of the original SOUL classic.
@@moosic2i there are similarities between the two I cannot deny. But to say anything about the two songs are carbon copies of one another is just factually inaccurate. Yes of course, Etta James' recording was done much earlier than any version of Tennessee Whiskey and if Chris Stapleton's version was inspired by I'd Rather Go Blind, what of it? Stapleton has admitted openly that he has been strongly influenced by the blues, soul, r&b, gospel, jazz and everyone knows it. So is your point to infer that because of the popularity of Stapleton's version, he owes the creator of the Etta James' song monies? That to me is a stretch. And it's only monetary successful songs that this type of claims are ever made. Never the countless other songs that show influence that are not hits. Etta was a widely successful and renowned artist on her own for the times and her music should still be appreciated.
This is actually a cover of a David Allen Coe song that was written by Dean Dillon. But like he did with Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, he made it his own.

Would love to see your reaction to Colter Wall. His song "The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie" is very popular, and while it's a great representation of his abilities, it's not the best representation of his voice and style as a whole. I'd recommend his song "cowpoke" or my personal favorite "Bald Butte". Thanks! Love your videos.
New sub here....I really appreciate your method of review/reaction...(No interrupts)...My reaction to my first listen was just like yours....And pestered all my friends to sit for a listen....Since you aren't exposed to country so much, allow me to suggest an acapella group that leans country, Home Free...for their country vibe: Man of Constant Sorrow, Ring of Fire (either live on the voice off show or the production feat. Avi Kapkan of Pentatonix)...Caution: you might get sucked into a rabbit hole!
Here's a few Live Chris suggestions for you: Cold - Live at 2021 CMA awards I Was Wrong - (Austin City limits Performance) NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert (Live, several songs) Fool Me Again Live Man's World (James Brown cover...He was noticed in the crowd and asked to come up and sing...Amazing!) This should get you a good taste of just how good this man is...and 'Good' is not the right word..LOL
I'm sure it'll be said a bunch of times in the comments, but: Not the original. Stapleton's version is also a cover. Tennessee Whiskey was originally by David Allan Coe in 1981
He suffers from severe stage fright. That is why he looks at his wife (on stahe, the duet partner) so much. He is able to not focus on his anxiety that way
Hi Sabina, the woman singing with him is his wife Morgan. If you would like to hear her sing with Chris on backup, check out You are my sunshine. th-cam.com/video/vDwm83_JpDg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ElektraRecords it's really something.
I must say he is the only person I've ever heard make whiskey sound romantic. But I have had my share of bourbon as an old southern "U.S." man and my wife doesn't seem to think of it as sexy or romantic.
Love your reactions, and thoughts. Would love to get your thoughts on Brittney Slayes of Unleash The Archers. They are a canadian power metal band. Her voice is incredible, great highs, amazing lows, beautiful vibrato. Check out Tonight We Ride, General of the Dark Army, Faster Than Light, The Wind that Shapes The Land. Would love to hear your thoughts on them.
Hello dear I just found you and I subscribed and hit the ball. Could you try some skid row. The song quicksand Jesus or I remember you all of their tunes are awesome. Thanks.
Hello ,sabina j'aimerais beaucoup que tu réagissent à nouveau à lara fabian . Je sais que tu l'aime beaucoup et ça fais plu 1 ans que ta pas réagi à elle . Écoute absolument caruso en italien sous titre en anglais concert Montréal 1999. Écoute aussi llora en live concert Moscou 2010
Hi, Nice reaction ! Please react to KAMELOT - The Song title is "ELIZABETH (I, II & III) LIVE". It's a really good piece of music. Roy Khan is a fantastic singer. The song tells the story of Elizabeth Báthory, a Hungarian countess who was accused of killing hundreds of girls and women, for their blood, in order to stay forever young.
I love how you write your thoughts down instead of interrupting the song! I'll never get tired of this performance. Chris and his wife Morgane are a perfect duo.
Amen!
Possibly the most talented dude in Nashville...spend some time with him, and his wife, you won't be disappointed...
I trust you on that. Love that he is making music with his wife - that explains the chemistry

I have`nt read all comments, so it`s probobly mentioned before.. but the lady in this song is his wife
They say never go to a Chris Stapleton show with your woman because he'll steal her lol😂😂😂
❤
Forget the rest...u r still the best. Wonderful reaction. It's not an original by Chris. Chaka did cover the Chris version of it tho. All ur comments are just so on point. Thanks again. Hugs. Mark
Correct, not an original. This is a direct reworking of "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James from 1967! The only thing different is the lyric. The melody, tempo, key, instruments, arrangement, production, and overall feel, are all a carbon copy of the original SOUL classic.
@@moosic2i there are similarities between the two I cannot deny. But to say anything about the two songs are carbon copies of one another is just factually inaccurate. Yes of course, Etta James' recording was done much earlier than any version of Tennessee Whiskey and if Chris Stapleton's version was inspired by I'd Rather Go Blind, what of it? Stapleton has admitted openly that he has been strongly influenced by the blues, soul, r&b, gospel, jazz and everyone knows it. So is your point to infer that because of the popularity of Stapleton's version, he owes the creator of the Etta James' song monies? That to me is a stretch. And it's only monetary successful songs that this type of claims are ever made. Never the countless other songs that show influence that are not hits. Etta was a widely successful and renowned artist on her own for the times and her music should still be appreciated.
You mentioned their creative process. So far they’ve managed to create 5 children together
Should hear him sing the Star Spangle Banner
his wife....to his left is also very talented.....they have 5 kids
This is actually a cover of a David Allen Coe song that was written by Dean Dillon. But like he did with Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, he made it his own.
Nope. This is a direct reworking of "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James from 1967! The only thing different is the lyric. The melody, tempo, key, instruments, arrangement, production, and overall feel, are all a carbon copy of the original SOUL classic.
Death taxes and Chris singleton singing the hell out of any song
Chris singleton???
Would love to see your reaction to Colter Wall. His song "The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie" is very popular, and while it's a great representation of his abilities, it's not the best representation of his voice and style as a whole. I'd recommend his song "cowpoke" or my personal favorite "Bald Butte".
Thanks! Love your videos.
She is his wife! 👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠💓💓
Welcome to the Chris Stapleton rabbit hole you have so much to catch up on.
New sub here....I really appreciate your method of review/reaction...(No interrupts)...My reaction to my first listen was just like yours....And pestered all my friends to sit for a listen....Since you aren't exposed to country so much, allow me to suggest an acapella group that leans country, Home Free...for their country vibe: Man of Constant Sorrow, Ring of Fire (either live on the voice off show or the production feat. Avi Kapkan of Pentatonix)...Caution: you might get sucked into a rabbit hole!
This is not a country song!
@@moosic2i I didn't mean to imply that THIS is a country song. I think I was referring to your commentary..
Oh forgot to request if you can do Sometimes I Cry with Henri. You will not be disappointed
Since you like live performances I would like to suggest Man's World a James Brown cover and What are you listening to one of his songs.
Here's a few Live Chris suggestions for you:
Cold - Live at 2021 CMA awards
I Was Wrong - (Austin City limits Performance)
NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert (Live, several songs)
Fool Me Again Live
Man's World (James Brown cover...He was noticed in the crowd and asked to come up and sing...Amazing!)
This should get you a good taste of just how good this man is...and 'Good' is not the right word..LOL
I'm sure it'll be said a bunch of times in the comments, but: Not the original. Stapleton's version is also a cover. Tennessee Whiskey was originally by David Allan Coe in 1981
Hi Sabina! You should check a mashup made with Chris & Angelina (Tenesse Whiskey/ I Rather Go Blind)is really wonderful!!!❤
Uh! Noted, Thanks 🤗
Mashups are faked thru editing. Why should she react to that? There is enough really great performances from either artist to focus on, come on. MARK
Wait til u hear him sing "Amanda."
Nice sound nice voice❤❤❤🎵🎵
Up indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩❤❤❤👍👍👍
Kopi mana kopi ☕☕
Love you not interupting let the musik speek 😀😘
The female backing vocalist is his wife :)
That’s so Nice!!
He suffers from severe stage fright. That is why he looks at his wife (on stahe, the duet partner) so much. He is able to not focus on his anxiety that way
Hi Sabina, the woman singing with him is his wife Morgan. If you would like to hear her sing with Chris on backup, check out You are my sunshine. th-cam.com/video/vDwm83_JpDg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ElektraRecords it's really something.
David Allen Coe is the original artist for the song.
Grandgrandpa 72 here. The Lady with him is his Wife.😅
I must say he is the only person I've ever heard make whiskey sound romantic. But I have had my share of bourbon as an old southern "U.S." man and my wife doesn't seem to think of it as sexy or romantic.
also it was written byDean Dillon and Linda Hargrove
did not know! thanks for sharing :D
Hmmm....I think you really enjoyed that....cheers
Love your reactions, and thoughts. Would love to get your thoughts on Brittney Slayes of Unleash The Archers. They are a canadian power metal band. Her voice is incredible, great highs, amazing lows, beautiful vibrato. Check out Tonight We Ride, General of the Dark Army, Faster Than Light, The Wind that Shapes The Land. Would love to hear your thoughts on them.
Chris Stapleton is awesome! Clearly Sabrina gets the joke . . .
Hello dear I just found you and I subscribed and hit the ball. Could you try some skid row. The song quicksand Jesus or I remember you all of their tunes are awesome. Thanks.
verrrry impressed.....wanna talk
Ever watch Stevie Ray Vaughan???
LOL....
Texas Flood , Voodoo Child... every performance will leave you in disbelief.
Promise...
I do believe she is his wife so there is the intense eye contact.
You finally got to the real version as opposed to th3 good v3rsion by Chakra Kha . The wait for your reaction was worth it
Please react to the band Mawcore
Song: The Refining
Hello ,sabina j'aimerais beaucoup que tu réagissent à nouveau à lara fabian .

The woman is his wife.
The girl on stage singing with him is his wife
Adorable!
That's his wife singing with him
Chris is ALWAYS better Live.
First time I watched this I thought I hope those two aren't married as they're definitely having an affair,now I know they're married TO EACH OTHER
not the original but definitely incredible,
Do a reaction on the new linkin park song where chester is singing!! Called "lost"
Hi, Nice reaction ! Please react to KAMELOT - The Song title is "ELIZABETH (I, II & III) LIVE". It's a really good piece of music. Roy Khan is a fantastic singer. The song tells the story of Elizabeth Báthory, a Hungarian countess who was accused of killing hundreds of girls and women, for their blood, in order to stay forever young.
I love you
❤️
Petição. Kk
His wife I think for children
