His voice hasn't changed he is just so talented he can easily and seamlessly slip into almost any genre. Heck he is his own Genre. They should make that an official genre now.
I don’t think his voice changed I just think he can do whatever he wants to do with it. He can sing high and smooth with no rasp then at rasp and deep or the combination of any lol
...same opinion. and don´t forget, he is sitting while singing -this changes the tone of the voice as well. I just can´t stop thinking that he looked like Michael Teutul from American Chopper :D
John Fischer ...took the words right out of my mouth! I definitely agree with you. It’s not that he had a different voice, it wasn’t his song. I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to go too far with that song from its original sound. (Still think Chris did a better job though😆)
This is on a singer/songwriter cruise. It's not The Steeldrivers, just a bunch of songwriters that were booked on the cruise. Al Anderson is the older man. He wrote with Chris quite a bit back in the first years he was in Nashville.
How many singers do you know that can just sit there in a chair, and curl your hair the way Chris did? As far as his voice being different, I think he was just fitting it to the song.
This is an old country song written by Joe South in the early 70s...this was the style of that song...it wasn't that he hadn't found his voice. He sang the hell out of this song!
I’ve been to one of his concerts. He has amazing control over his voice. He knows when to pull back, keep it restrained and smooth, then go full throttle just like in this song. I love that.
I don’t think he didn’t know his voice back then I think he was fitting it to they type of song. If you listen to different song genre he sings he tends to fit to the type, if it’s county it’s more twangy if it’s bluegrass it’s more bluesy if it’s soul more well you get it. He just has an amazing voice and he knows how to use it to the advantage of the song. Awesome video! ❤️❤️
This was from a Delbert McClinton Sandy Beaches cruise in January 2006. He also sang Sometimes I Cry on that cruise. If you want to hear how it sounded compared to the version you heard, let me know and I'll dig out the link and send it to you. His first record with the Steeldrivers was released in January 2008, so the cruise probably predates his time with them, but I'm not sure. What a monster, hunched over and still belting out the blues like that.
I haven’t read any comments about his voice difference is just the style (classic country) in the verse and more of the power soulful thing he does really well that people relate to him now. He is incredible!!
From Delbert McClinton's Sandy Beaches Cruise #12 and the Rockumentary, Chris Stapleton, Leslie Satcher, Big Al Anderson, and Jeff Steele. January 2006.
It's funny you said Starbucks. He said he was actually a pizza delivery guy for Pappa John's. He said he still has his name tag to remind him of how far he has come.
Chris Stapleton is musical magic! Something about those hills in eastern Kentucky that produce the magic of artists like Chris, Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley, Ricky Skaggs, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Dwight Yoakam, ( born in Kentucky, lived in Ohio) Patty Loveless and many others. Y’all have a lot of listening to do!
This is song writers cruise and he also graduated number in his high school and was going to Vanderbilt when he decided to Pursue music he worked as a songwriter and had to write a song a day before he went in to singing his music
I think what I have seen written in the comments of other reactions to this song is that this is taped on a songwriters' cruise. Not quite sure what that is.... but... for what it's worth..
He was and is a prolific songwriter before becoming an artist. He got around a 1000 songs at his music publisher. Crazy. His version of it's a man's world is excellent.
01-06-06! Songwriters cruise. Chris Stapleton & Al Anderson had just written "Fool Me Again" the night before! Chris didn't believe he had a "singing" voice! Crazy kid, he was only around 27 at the time!🔥🤘
Delbert McClinton had a cruise every year called Sandy Beaches. He and other songwriters and performers would be on this cruise. The cruise is still on every year.
East Kentucky gal loud and proud 💙 Please listen to the Saturday Night Live version of Midnight Train to Memphis which features Sturgill Simpson, another great artist you should give a listen to.
This was a songwriters cruise and each of the people on stage are songwriters, and the guy, Anderson, wrote this song with him. This was a long time ago. He has always performed, but he wasn’t well known. He was in a rock band called The Jompson Bros, and then a bluegrass band called The Steeldrivers if I’m not mistaken. He has performed several of his songs with each group and solo. I’ve seen him do “Midnight Train to Memphis” with The Steeldrivers and with his own band on Saturday Night Live with Sturgill Simpson.
Most people know the song "Your Man" by Josh Turner from 2005, but not many know it was written by Chris Stapleton. Please react to Chris Stapleton singing "Your Man" from the Bobby Bones Show.
Jeffrey Steele is a badass songwriter in Nashville...established dude. Look up the tune "Something In the Water"... Love Chris in this tune....just wow
NOT The SteelDrivers! This is just a bunch of songwriters jamming on a cruise in 1-6-2006! Chris was just a kid of 27! (He's only 42 now!) You guys should REALLY check out his new album, Starting Over! It's crazy great! Every single cut! I received both it and his Traveler cd for Christmas! Seeing him in Charlotte, NC in August '21 is definitely on my bucket list! Peace, love and stay safe!🌹💜
I appreciate your love of Chris Stapleton, you would enjoy his earlier band "JOMPSON BROTHERS ", HE has a studio version of "BARELY ALIVE, and INSIDE YOUR HEAD " both PHENOMENAL. His band JOMPSON BROTHERS was about 10 years ago it was Country Rock
This is an old country song. That's Al Anderson that starts it out. Those are all old school country performers during around jamming. I think it's 2013 or before that. Just wait it comes out!
I'm listening to y'all tonight.. Huge Raven's fan.. and looking at that Steelers hat.. lol.. I'm very sad tonight because we just lost the AFC Championship Game.. not a good day for me.
I love watching y'all! Try listening to Chris doing Death Row. This isn't the Steel drivers. This is a song writers showcase. The Steeldrivers is a bluegrass band with Chris. They are awesome also!
I honestly think he was not comfortable with letting the soul in him out like he does now in his later albums. There is so much emotion in his sound that it can out shine the musicians and maybe he was holding back that beauty in him. Now he can let it go because he is one with his guitar playing and his singing. It's literally one thing inside of him.
If he “chris Stapletons” 😂all the way thru the song, then it’s not near as impactful. If he starts out mellow (as the song calls for anyway) and THEN he just kills it thru the chorus etc, then the building of the song (and the pure badassness) just blows you away!! This man knew EXACTLY what he was doing! I saw a post from an old school buddy of his saying Chris use to sing Jodeci on the back of the school bus and just kill it, (IN HIGHSCHOOL!!!!) I’d LOVE to hear that!
No the guy Jeff Steele is a great singer and was a had a solo career several years ago and now I think he just writes.. The others are wonderful song writers in Nashville and this was really a songwriters event.
I'm sure I'm annoying, but I promise if you guys check out Chris when he was with the Steeldrivers and his songs, "Angel of The Night" and "If It Hadn't Been For Love" you WILL NOT be disappointed
You are not being annoying, we just have a back log of like 500 request, but we will get to it we love Chris Stapleton and I am from KY so there is that lol
Alright my man! Appreciate the reply. Just wanted to make sure y'all got a chance to check them out. And since y'all seem to be into Chris, I didn't want you to miss out on his early stuff with fantastic harmonies, Melody's, and flawless lyrical writing. -much love
But the capper is just right at the end when he raises a glass and addresses the audience with a quick quip. Check out "Aint Livin Long Like This". Tried to send link but no luck. Its really worth it tho!!!!
Not sure anyone has said this yet I’m not gonna read all the comments. That lady sitting next to Chris drives me nuts. She does not at all seem affected by his singing at all.
Midnight train to Memphis featuring sturgill Simpson, two of my favorite artists together. If you haven’t listened to sturgill, react to him also. pan bowl from sturgill will take you back to your childhood
Your reactions are great. I would agree with your comments but hes just messing with ya. If the crowd is into it he will give it everything he has. If not ge will give back what he gets.
![ฮักเทื่อสุดท้าย - บอย ศิริชัย [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-1PoPoQ-B-k/mqdefault.jpg)
His voice hasn't changed he is just so talented he can easily and seamlessly slip into almost any genre. Heck he is his own Genre. They should make that an official genre now.
Excellent comment
Love how he belts this one all hunched over. Not the best posture for this amazing singing. He is something else! Love y'all!
I don’t think his voice changed I just think he can do whatever he wants to do with it. He can sing high and smooth with no rasp then at rasp and deep or the combination of any lol
Richard Partin well said. 👌🏼
I think he just perfected his style. Improved something that was already great.
I agree Chris does what Chris wants😂
...same opinion. and don´t forget, he is sitting while singing -this changes the tone of the voice as well. I just can´t stop thinking that he looked like Michael Teutul from American Chopper :D
John Fischer ...took the words right out of my mouth! I definitely agree with you. It’s not that he had a different voice, it wasn’t his song. I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to go too far with that song from its original sound. (Still think Chris did a better job though😆)

P. Cheekeen Jelly-Bean absolutely right..
This man is amazing❣️ Chris Stapleton is a beast. 💋 I love his voice and that he can change it up.
How many singers do you know that can just sit there in a chair, and curl your hair the way Chris did? As far as his voice being different, I think he was just fitting it to the song.
That's what you call an old fashioned Country Jam Session !!!
This is an old country song written by Joe South in the early 70s...this was the style of that song...it wasn't that he hadn't found his voice. He sang the hell out of this song!

I love his voice in this video. He couldn't sound bad if he tried!!
I haven’t read any comments about his voice difference is just the style (classic country) in the verse and more of the power soulful thing he does really well that people relate to him now. He is incredible!!
I just love y’all! I keep finding my self watching Stan’s face the whole time.
From Delbert McClinton's Sandy Beaches Cruise #12 and the Rockumentary, Chris Stapleton, Leslie Satcher, Big Al Anderson, and Jeff Steele. January 2006.
Chris Stapleton - Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore, is another good one.
This was when he was writing songs, all these people are song writers, they sing but they are not singers.
Love this song! This is the best audio I have heard of this song. Great job all around
It's funny you said Starbucks. He said he was actually a pizza delivery guy for Pappa John's. He said he still has his name tag to remind him of how far he has come.
Hey guys love the vids. It's fun watching you discover Chris. Check out midnight train to Memphis, and It if it hadn't been for Love. Both are great.

Ain't it tho?!?! Most people think Kentucky folks are all inbred simpletons, but we do have a lot of good people in these hills.
One of my favorite Chris stapleton song I love all his music but I really enjoy this one in particular an y'all do great reactions... thanks
This is song writers cruise and he also graduated number in his high school and was going to Vanderbilt when he decided to Pursue music he worked as a songwriter and had to write a song a day before he went in to singing his music
Oh and he has a live cover of James Brown's "mans world" that will blow you away
I have seen him live and he sounds like this and any other way he wants...God threw some extra sprinkles on him when he was created! PHENOMENAL!
I think what I have seen written in the comments of other reactions to this song is that this is taped on a songwriters' cruise. Not quite sure what that is.... but... for what it's worth..
I would love to have him bring this into his shows today.... It could only be better, if that's even possible.
My favourite one! Thank you.
He was and is a prolific songwriter before becoming an artist. He got around a 1000 songs at his music publisher. Crazy. His version of it's a man's world is excellent.
Love all chris Stapleton songs. But this is my favorite
Thank you for your service brother! I have 2 requests when you guys have time. FFDP, I apologize and Nf, how could you leave us. Stay blessed!
Nothing like a music cruise with CS!
This was before the steal drivers. He was performing on an a cruise ship
01-06-06! Songwriters cruise. Chris Stapleton & Al Anderson had just written "Fool Me Again" the night before! Chris didn't believe he had a "singing" voice! Crazy kid, he was only around 27 at the time!🔥🤘
Any Jompson Brothers song = More Chris Stapleton.
Ditto Steeldrivers.
His voice has matured since this song but you still could tell he was going to phenomenal
Chris bands were:
1) Steeldrivers-Bluegrass ,Country
Song -If it hadnt been for love
2) Jompson Bros - Southern Rock /Rock
Song- On The Run
Delbert McClinton had a cruise every year called Sandy Beaches. He and other songwriters and performers would be on this cruise. The cruise is still on every year.

He looks like Mikey from the " American Choppers " show right here
Most people know the song "Your Man" by Josh Turner from 2005, but not many know it was written by Chris Stapleton. Please react to Chris Stapleton singing "Your Man" from the Bobby Bones Show.
I always caught a little Mickey Gilley vibe from this before he really slips into his full voice.
Just what the song requires it’s one of the old style country/ blues/front porch kinda song lol
Jeffrey Steele is a badass songwriter in Nashville...established dude. Look up the tune "Something In the Water"... Love Chris in this tune....just wow
The jompson brothers - the river
I am so glad you did this 1 WOW
Steel drivers “blue side of the mountain”.
Anderson is one of Stapleton's main co-writers. This was a writer's forum.
NOT The SteelDrivers! This is just a bunch of songwriters jamming on a cruise in 1-6-2006! Chris was just a kid of 27! (He's only 42 now!) You guys should REALLY check out his new album, Starting Over! It's crazy great! Every single cut! I received both it and his Traveler cd for Christmas!

I appreciate your love of Chris Stapleton, you would enjoy his earlier band "JOMPSON BROTHERS ", HE has a studio version of "BARELY ALIVE, and INSIDE YOUR HEAD " both PHENOMENAL. His band JOMPSON BROTHERS was about 10 years ago it was Country Rock
This was a Buck Owens hit back in 1961...
He was at a writers convention in Nashville.I think Chris and the man with gray hair wrote this a few days before.
He used to be in a band call the jompson brothers, they should definitely checkout the song "On the run".
This is an old country song. That's Al Anderson that starts it out. Those are all old school country performers during around jamming.
I think it's 2013 or before that. Just wait it comes out!
I'm listening to y'all tonight.. Huge Raven's fan.. and looking at that Steelers hat.. lol.. I'm very sad tonight because we just lost the AFC Championship Game.. not a good day for me.
Yes been waiting for this one !!! Great video guys!!!
Chris Stapleton “ mans world”
Steel drivers are a different band. They are bluegrass. Great videos gents 👌.
I love watching y'all! Try listening to Chris doing Death Row. This isn't the Steel drivers. This is a song writers showcase. The Steeldrivers is a bluegrass band with Chris. They are awesome also!
I think it's called having range and maturing. Also a true vocalist knows what's needed for each song. Just my 2 cents.
I honestly think he was not comfortable with letting the soul in him out like he does now in his later albums. There is so much emotion in his sound that it can out shine the musicians and maybe he was holding back that beauty in him. Now he can let it go because he is one with his guitar playing and his singing. It's literally one thing inside of him.

I’d LOVE to hear that!
This sounds more blue grass, country. He still sound good to me.
Check out Midnight train to Memphis by Chris... great song!!
This song is a classic country song written by Buck Owens. No other version has made it this far.
Y’all are so confused 😂😂😂 love this song
This sound you are hearing is old country and rock-a-billy.
He was 26. Y’all NEED to hear his cover of Metallica’s” Nothing else Matters”.🔥🔥
1st time hearing this song
this is old country style damn good
No the guy Jeff Steele is a great singer and was a had a solo career several years ago and now I think he just writes.. The others are wonderful song writers in Nashville and this was really a songwriters event.
Welcome to Starbucks in Nashville.
Try some of The Steeldrivers. Its his bluegrass band. Truly amazing
Y’all should do Whisky Myers- Broken Window Serenade
Hey young shy and just chillin on a cruise gig.... he felt that on I truly he was hurt .filled but honey girl he fooled
This was before he became a vocal god.
This was done probably 15 Years ago and he has really put in the work since then.
I'm sure I'm annoying, but I promise if you guys check out Chris when he was with the Steeldrivers and his songs, "Angel of The Night" and "If It Hadn't Been For Love" you WILL NOT be disappointed
You are not being annoying, we just have a back log of like 500 request, but we will get to it we love Chris Stapleton and I am from KY so there is that lol
Alright my man! Appreciate the reply. Just wanted to make sure y'all got a chance to check them out. And since y'all seem to be into Chris, I didn't want you to miss out on his early stuff with fantastic harmonies, Melody's, and flawless lyrical writing.
-much love
But the capper is just right at the end when he raises a glass and addresses the audience with a quick quip. Check out "Aint Livin Long Like This". Tried to send link but no luck. Its really worth it tho!!!!
No, just different artists jamming out. I think it was a show at one time.
It's a cover of an old Buck Owen's song. Original is very old.
No guys he found his voice/ it’s just the beginning of the song is completely Layed back and different then the rest
Not sure anyone has said this yet I’m not gonna read all the comments. That lady sitting next to Chris drives me nuts. She does not at all seem affected by his singing at all.
not the steal drivers... they were bluegrass.....
React to them allllll and then listen til your hearts content! 😂😂😂😂
This is NOT The Steeldrivers, but you should definitely react to some Steeldrivers. Check out Blue side of the Mountain.
React to Chris Stapleton whiskey and you live cmt performance
This is from 2006 songwriters cruise
I don't think it's so much he found his voice as he found his confidence as a singer. Plus, he was younger here.
This is almost jazz. Wow indeed.
Listen to death row by Chris it’s amazing!!
I think this was back in his Bluegrass days. Bluegrass is usually sung in a cleaner tone.
He was 29 years old on a writters cruise.
Written by Buck Owens in 1962...
Midnight train to Memphis featuring sturgill Simpson, two of my favorite artists together. If you haven’t listened to sturgill, react to him also. pan bowl from sturgill will take you back to your childhood
This is the Steele drivers about 8 years ago I believe
Please check out Marcus King Band, Tedeschi Trucks Band, The White Buffalo, and Yebba!
Your reactions are great. I would agree with your comments but hes just messing with ya. If the crowd is into it he will give it everything he has. If not ge will give back what he gets.
How about Ride my Rocket by Jompson....that's a departure from the Chris you know now also. He can sing anything guys
I remember him beening on the voice
