Hey Guys, Figured I'd address your concerns! I'm actually (sort of embarrassingly) borrowing from myself here (and a song I wrote and released before Chris put out that record). I wrote a song called "Goodbye" in 2014...we played it more or less exactly like this when we did it live (even though it was super acoustic on the record)...this is what that sounded like live: ua-cam.com/video/dvi8YlDSkc4/v-deo.html Anyway, I got bummed that we didn't record it using that more soul inflected palette, so I just took that arrangement and plugged in some new words and a few new chords...but that's where I got my idea from. Stapleton's recording owes more to Etta James "I'd Go Blind" than it does to either David Allan Coe or George Jones' versions of "Tennessee Whiskey" that came before it, so in my opinion, it's probably not the song itself that you're seeing a relationship in, so much as parts of our arrangements. We're both leaning on some classic soul tricks, for sure. In my case, it's not Etta's recording that came to mind; I hear "That's How Strong My Love Is" from Otis Redding in my arrangement (but less emphatic singing because I'm no Otis Redding). So now you know where this comes from. Thanks for listening. -Rp
It's a blues riff, it's not tw, tw was a closer to someone else's song I cant remember,the comments above give good insight :) your right he is a bloody legend and is amazing
