literally a song about him overcoming alcoholism by his love for his wife and her support. She's so supportive that she has convinced him to do live shows when he has severe stage fright. He usually only plays live if she's there to help him.
just realized the whole song he is saying she saved him from being a drunk and hes comparing her to all his favorite drinks, shes better than all the drinks in the world.
Yeah he's comparing her to the only thing that has ever mattered to him before! Its like Jim Croce saying he can only say I love you in a song. It's the only way he knows how to put it in words.
I agree...however if you really think about it...she has now become his new addiction...I don't want to become someone's addiction...it can lead to problems...but I'm going to stay on the surface of this song and say love heals all
This is such a killer analogy... not tacky, not punchline clever, not disrespectful.... classy as hell... then masterful voice and guitar.... talent like this makes me proud to be human for a minute And we need that right now. Ohhhh music.
I’m straight but he’s got such a lucky wife, for this song to be written for her.. one of the best love songs ever written as well as one of the best country songs ever written ! So lovely
Music transcends all colors, creeds, and nationality. It can bring us all together, cause we are all the same, and want the same things. To live, to love, to be safe, and know our loved ones are safe. Much respect to you.
I counted 16 perfectly hit notes in that run. When I first heard this song I thought he was an old black blues man. One of my all time favourite songs.
My daughter took me to a Chris Stapleton Concert in Knoxville, TN. Trust me folks, he sounds as good live as he does in the studio. He, his wife and his band puts on a great show. If you never seen him live, you dang sure should
Watching these reactions by Black reviewers makes me feel like there just might be hope for humanity - to let go of racial prejudices and appreciate one another for who we are! PEOPLE! I subscribed. I love your reviews. The first one was of The Righteous Brothers, "Unchained Melody.". Now I watched your review of Tennessee Whiskey. ". I subscribed. I'm a fan of yours. Give that daughter of yours a hug from me; have a Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄🎁🙏
He is an artist that lives are better than recorded. I Was Wrong, Man’s World cover, Nothing Compares To You, Barely Alive, and on and on! Chris is blessed.
Angela Barazzone never heard his cover of “Nothing Compares” have to have a listen after this. Have you ever heard Chris Cornell’s version of that same song? Unreal and so touching.
The first time I ever heard Chris Stapleton is on the reactions on here... I’ve never been a country fan.. I’ve always been into Rap Hip Hop R and B.... Jazz... and some Blues.... But this guy is so good... And carries his voice so well.... And hearing this song will put you in your feelings... So I’m glad that you do reactions on here.. Because if it weren’t for that then I probably wouldn’t have never heard of this song or heard of him.. So thank you💕💕
Watching your reactions evoke more powerful emotions out of this song for me. Thank you for that! I'm old school and I remember George Jones on this one.
His voice chronicles the struggles of many Kentucky families. Any race, religion, economic status, gender, etc. can feel the struggles of every day life. He speaks for them.
I'd never heard of him until I saw him in concert.. he opened for Guns n Roses in Nashville a few years ago.. I left there that night as a fan. Can't wait to do karaoke to this song.
Seen him live in Knoxville, TN. He sounds as good live if not better than in the studio. I been to lot of concert's. It may have been the best I ever seen
I totally agree. I've always thought his live versions were better due to his connection with the audience. He always sounds restrained on recordings. If she listens to the Austin City Limits version now she would be amazed at the difference between them. I don't know what they do to him in those studios but I wish they'd quit it. Just put him in front of people who want to hear him sing ❤️🥰
Go Chris go. Women across this world are having the big O listening to you. Great song and what every man means to tell their wife but don’t have the right words . To all the great women out out there thank you
LOL #TooSushi ... Now that you have met the man the myth the legend of Chris Stapleton; you have to hear his songs, "Sometimes I Cry" and "I Was Wrong" -- You are not READY!!! LOL
Wow! Just stunning. I am now a Chris Stapleton fan. Like you I had never heard his music before. I have watched a few Reaction videos and I have sometimes thought...'I cannot believe there are people out there who do not know Elvis Presley's music....or the Beach Boys..etc....but I heard something new myself today. Thank you. Chris Stapleton is awesome
Please react to more Chris Stapleton, his voice will continue to floor you - "Fire Away" (Official Music Video) "Tennessee Whiskey/Drink You Away" (ft. Justin Timberlake 49th Annual CMAs 2015 live performance) "Whiskey & You" "Sometimes I Cry" "Either Way" "Death Row" "I Was Wrong" "Man's World" (Live James Brown Cover) "Barely Alive" "Nobody's Lonely Tonight" "Drunkard's Prayer"
He plays and writes his own music. His wife is his backup singer. He has written countless songs for other artists. He is truly a musical genius. Do Sometimes I Cry by him. Crazy
Sean Tompkins Sorry I wasn’t more specific. Geez. I did not say he wrote this song, even though personally I feel like it’s the best version of it. Just giving her another song, not written by him (but his version of it is also better than the original), to react to.
If you want a real treat, check out the video of this song live from The Austin City Limits concert. AMAZING! His wife is singing right along with him by his side, most excellent indeed!
We saw him a year ago and I've never seen so many black girls go crazy over a performer. Or at a country concert for that matter. Don't need to look sexy to sing sexy.
You can tell listening to his music from TN whiskey, to Midnight train to Memphis to others. HIs music is a lil country , lil rock, lil blues all mixed up for a great sound
I love this reaction, she felt every note and word! Blues knows no race... Growing up in MS and Memphis, I've never seen anyone not having a great time in a blues hall. This guy killed the lyrics, but that melody was on fire.
He was a songwriter for a long time in nashville. Wrote a lot of hits performed by Kenny Chesney and many other country billboard artists before he broke out and started performing his own songs. Great man. Love your stuff you're an angel! Love your disposition
This song was first recorded decades ago by David Allen Coe. 1981. Lets give credit to him. Chris just sings it much better in his way. I love the Blues and soul in Chris's voice.
David Allen Coe did this song back in the 70s as many others have since . Ghris’ is my favorite. Good song to slow dance to. Polish that belt buckle right up🤠
The music is from Etta James's I'd Rather Go Blind and the lyrics are David Allan Coe's Tennessee Whiskey although most people are more familiar with George Jones's version. This is sort of a mashup of the music and the lyrics. Check them all out. You won't be disappointed.
Now that you've been introduced to Chris you need to listen to You Are My Sunshine where his amazing wife sings lead. She usually sings harmony with him. You'll never think of the song the same way again after the soulful twist they put on it. She's an amazing singer also.
I cant tell you how much joy I get from watching you react to songs. If my day isnt that good , watching your channel cheers me up ! Nice job kid , good work. good good work and
You are the classiest reaction person out there. You seem to be the only one who realizes that reaction is not only verbal but physical. You don't constantly stop the song to talk....we all get what's going on by your sensory responses. Sometimes it's what you don't say that matters....thanks
It never gets old seeing the look on people’s faces when he hits that run in “warm”
So true gives me smiles every time
My favorite part
Right?? 🥰🙌👏👏👏
truth!!
Priceless !
Chris Stapleton is in a class by himself! He is absolute fire.🔥🔥🔥
Yes, that is Chris playing the guitar and his wife singing the background harmonies.
That harmony has resulted in 5 kids
Rion Summers I was just going to comment the same thing.
@@trishferris7355 lol
I love how well her voice compliments his
Thanks for that! I didn't know it's his wife!
literally a song about him overcoming alcoholism by his love for his wife and her support. She's so supportive that she has convinced him to do live shows when he has severe stage fright. He usually only plays live if she's there to help him.
Literally a cover song lol he didn't write this, but he sure owns this now
His guitar playing is out of this world.
Thank you sir
When you poured out you heart I didn't waste it. Such a great line.
Thank you David Allen Coe
The Citadel George Jones version,to me, was the best
So is "I stay stoned on your love,all the time". The man knows how to write and sang a lyric!
bender138 He didn’t write it but I agree with the singing!
Look up Dean Dillon. Responsible for many many great songs.
Watching Black folks react to this song is my new favorite thing!
Same here, I've discovered a lot of reaction channels because of it.
Yeah this one and "Freebird" lol
Im glad you enjoyed it
🤣
She’s like the 5th or so Black person I’ve watched react to this. And it’s culturally kinda cool to be honest.
just realized the whole song he is saying she saved him from being a drunk and hes comparing her to all his favorite drinks, shes better than all the drinks in the world.
Yeah he's comparing her to the only thing that has ever mattered to him before! Its like Jim Croce saying he can only say I love you in a song. It's the only way he knows how to put it in words.
@@WileyE you dont need to be a smart ass i admitted my fault you can move on
Except a good frozen Margarita which is why he didn't mention it.
@@barriealfredfeatherstone7290 lol
I agree...however if you really think about it...she has now become his new addiction...I don't want to become someone's addiction...it can lead to problems...but I'm going to stay on the surface of this song and say love heals all
Chris does play guitar and he says every time he sings this live it's never the same he changes it
This is such a killer analogy... not tacky, not punchline clever, not disrespectful.... classy as hell... then masterful voice and guitar.... talent like this makes me proud to be human for a minute And we need that right now. Ohhhh music.
This guy has so much soul in his voice it is frightening. So great to just sit back with a cold beer and LISTEN.
Chris Stapleton has A LOT of soul in that country boy body
“I was wrong” and “sometimes I cry” by Chris Stapleton
Sometimes I cry is amazing too
Sometimes I cry the live version at the bing lounge
@@chaosismyway690 Yes
Death Row
Yo Sometimes I Cry !!!!!!! Yes that Is the song .
YES IT IS HIM PLAYING THAT SMOOTH TENNESSEE WHISKY GUITAR :-)
I’m straight but he’s got such a lucky wife, for this song to be written for her.. one of the best love songs ever written as well as one of the best country songs ever written ! So lovely
Sorry, but written by a man and woman for David allen coe
Blues not country my friend.
Music transcends all colors, creeds, and nationality. It can bring us all together, cause we are all the same, and want the same things. To live, to love, to be safe, and know our loved ones are safe. Much respect to you.
I counted 16 perfectly hit notes in that run. When I first heard this song I thought he was an old black blues man. One of my all time favourite songs.
"Let's not pretend that didn't just happen." So many people say that when they hear Chris singing.
This song just melts my heart I am obsessed with it he's such a soulful amazing man 😍
Chris is as good as a singer gets... very soulful.... fun to see your reactions and emotions..... thats what good music does to us all........
Chris plays the guitar and his wife is the background singer.
My daughter took me to a Chris Stapleton Concert in Knoxville, TN. Trust me folks, he sounds as good live as he does in the studio. He, his wife and his band puts on a great show. If you never seen him live, you dang sure should
chris Stapleton- I was wrong.... will give you chills no doubt about it
Thats my favorite song rite now..
One of my favorites!!
PLEASE DO THIS SONG
Play I was wrong by Chris!
both live and studio versions

BEST REACTION TO THIS SONG AS I'VE SEEN! YOU GO GIRL!
I LOVE watching these videos and the first time Chris hits the runs and the reaction of the reactor is ALWAYS priceless.
He is the one playing the guitar. He's phenomenal.
He is an artist that lives are better than recorded. I Was Wrong, Man’s World cover, Nothing Compares To You, Barely Alive, and on and on! Chris is blessed.

Because if it weren’t for that then I probably wouldn’t have never heard of this song or heard of him.. So thank you💕💕
Chris Stapleton did a tribute to Garth Brooks on an award show live and the song is Shameless and he nailed it 🥇
Song is so sweet, another fun fact is his wife is the one doing all the harmonies in the hook. Watch the live performance sounds just like the album!
Watching your reactions evoke more powerful emotions out of this song for me. Thank you for that! I'm old school and I remember George Jones on this one.
Atta Girl! Stoked your reaching out to new styles of music! This one gets you in the feels.
This is what my dad used to call "belt buckle polishing music."
I'd like to suggest B.B. King "The Thrill is Gone." I think you'll really vibe out.
Agreed to B.B. King
The best part is that the harmony is done by his wife. Love their whole thing they do together. She's all over this album.
He plays a great guitar! Great reaction, he sings so sweet with his wife Morgane.
I think you'll love his song "I Was Wrong"
The sound of his voice singing this song makes you feel this sh*t in your soul.
Yes, Chris is a great guitarist and song writer AND his wife is his awesome backup singer and all around pard.
Chris didn’t write this song. He’s doing a cover of a David Allan Coe song written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove.
@@Mr.Crowley696and the music actually borrows very heavily from Etta James's "I'd Rather Go Blind."
Loved your expressions hearing this for the first time. One of the most soulful country songs I've ever heard
I’ve listened to this song countless thousands of times but watching you listen to it gave me goosebumps, I love your soul!
If I could say “warm” like this dude I believe I could find my true love. WHAT!
His voice chronicles the struggles of many Kentucky families. Any race, religion, economic status, gender, etc. can feel the struggles of every day life. He speaks for them.
Chris sounds so soulful and awesome. You should hear his song "millionaire" 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My wifes favorite song. Chris Stapleton and his wife are both awesome individuals. Love their music!
I'd never heard of him until I saw him in concert.. he opened for Guns n Roses in Nashville a few years ago.. I left there that night as a fan. Can't wait to do karaoke to this song.
Everyone acting like 'Fire Away' isn't one of his most emotional and best songs.
Everyone acting like his live recorded music isn't 10 times better than his produced tracks...
Fire away is amazing
Everyone acting.
Has to be with the video though :)
Has to be the official video though
He plays his own guitar. His wife is the backup singer. George Jones originally sang this.
David Allen Cole was the first to sing it
@@rockytrimble4803 : That was news to me. I had to look it up and you are right. I thought G. Jones was the original singer
Good that you knew that, history is important
David Allan Coe was the first. It has been sang by many artist. Willie Nelson, Hank Jr, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith.
@@rockytrimble4803 I thought D.A.C. wrote it, I will search for him singing it, but wow... thanks, I love DAC songs!
He is better live! That's another thing that makes him very unique!
He tore Memphis Tennessee da fuk up!!!!! He's awesomen
Awesome
Seen him live in Knoxville, TN. He sounds as good live if not better than in the studio. I been to lot of concert's. It may have been the best I ever seen
Saw him perform in Kentucky. Never was a fan until I saw him live. The soul in his voice is actually made me tear up. He’s so very talented
I totally agree. I've always thought his live versions were better due to his connection with the audience. He always sounds restrained on recordings. If she listens to the Austin City Limits version now she would be amazed at the difference between them. I don't know what they do to him in those studios but I wish they'd quit it.

You can hear his heart when he sings, because this will definitely touch your heart.....
Go Chris go. Women across this world are having the big O listening to you. Great song and what every man means to tell their wife but don’t have the right words . To all the great women out out there thank you
This guy is hands down the best since they started slicing bread!
And to think, he WROTE #1 hits for multiple artists for years before he ever cut his first album.
LOL #TooSushi ... Now that you have met the man the myth the legend of Chris Stapleton; you have to hear his songs, "Sometimes I Cry" and "I Was Wrong" -- You are not READY!!! LOL
at 2:16 you can SEE Chris's voice bounce around in your heart! awesome!
You know the voice is amazing when it brings the emotions out!
Listen to him singing "Nothing Compares To You" as a tribute to Prince!!!
Dude right!?!? That is so under the radar.
Now do "Sometimes I Cry" and "I Was Wrong" ! You'll never be the same lol
ayyyye ole girl feeling this emotion she almost teared up ,,it looked that way anyway
His wife is his back up singer if you watch the live version they both look at each other constantly that's true love and yes it's him playing
Wow! Just stunning. I am now a Chris Stapleton fan. Like you I had never heard his music before.

React to chris Stapleton-sometimes I cry bing lounge
It's a live performance and its guaranteed to blow your mind
Matt Daynard she’s pretty blown away with Tennessee whiskey so she might pass out when she hears him sing sometimes I cry😂
She gone slide out that chair on that one 🤣
Hahahahah
Exactly, I cut that version onto a CD for my car.
@@thomasfranks558 hes one of the only people I've ever heard that sounds better live than in a studio mix
If you want a real treat, check out the video of this song live from The Austin City Limits concert. AMAZING! His wife is singing right along with him by his side, most excellent indeed!
This is what we call country soul. It's a mix of blues gospel soul and country. I've always loved this song.
Hold up...
Did you call this song “California Whiskey”?!
Yup. I had to go back and check when I first heard her say it. She did. :o) Cheers, Steve
Oh well small potatoes
We saw him a year ago and I've never seen so many black girls go crazy over a performer. Or at a country concert for that matter. Don't need to look sexy to sing sexy.
Gerald Gatewood Didn't your stupid ass just hear her say it?
California Whiskey! Not as smooth.
He actually merged music from a really old Etta James song with lyrics from an old country song and made music magic.
That's why I immediately thought of I"'d rather go blind", when I heard this song!
You can tell listening to his music from TN whiskey, to Midnight train to Memphis to others. HIs music is a lil country , lil rock, lil blues all mixed up for a great sound
@@Tara8oh8 it's the same chords you can actually sing I'd rather go blind to this tune
I loved him in the steel drivers. I love all kinds of music. Grew up on country mainly blue grass
No he didn’t. He’s doing a cover of a David Allan Coe song written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove.
One of his best songs is, "Fire Away." It has a great music video too.
Love this man. I'm from North Carolina and that's how we get down. I'm African American but we love him. He will make you wet!!!!
I love this reaction, she felt every note and word! Blues knows no race... Growing up in MS and Memphis, I've never seen anyone not having a great time in a blues hall. This guy killed the lyrics, but that melody was on fire.
Thankyou! You are one of the few that I feel that have real emotions pouring out . Loved your teddy swims one too
Fire Away by Chris Stapleton is one of the most powerful songs he’s ever done
Chris is multi-talented: great song writer; fab vocalist/singer; and he can kill the guitar 🎸
Chris didn’t write this song. He’s doing a cover of a David Allan Coe song written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove.
@@Mr.Crowley696 , I didn’t say he wrote THIS song.
You need to watch his video when he preformed with Justin Timberlake on the CMA's.It was the best performance on any awards show PERIOD.
I’m not disrespecting your opinion but that’s a bold claim
@@OtakuMainer Then watch it and rebut it. If you can, make sure to point out why.
My money (if the wife didn't take it) says you can't.
The live video is even better. He and JT are phenomenal together!!! His wife ain’t no joke, either!!!
Preach
@Bryan Hutton Agreed!
He was a songwriter for a long time in nashville. Wrote a lot of hits performed by Kenny Chesney and many other country billboard artists before he broke out and started performing his own songs. Great man. Love your stuff you're an angel! Love your disposition
He didn’t write this song.
I hope you do come to TN and visit sometime. TN is the birthplace of rock, country, and blues music. So much to see.
It's all about him recovering from liquor addiction for the love of a woman.... powerful stuff.
Is that really why he wrote it???? That is so bad ass. Addiction can be ROUGH man
@@daviddorame3752 no, it's not why it was written. The sing is comparing her to whiskey..."as smooth as..." and " warm like brandy"
It isn't about Chris Stapleton as it was written before he was even born...
@@daviddorame3752 No, Chris didn't write it.
Actually a pretty old song just look it up u will find the original.
Yes that’s him playing the guitar. You should react to “Fire away” but the music video
This song was first recorded decades ago by David Allen Coe. 1981. Lets give credit to him. Chris just sings it much better in his way. I love the Blues and soul in Chris's voice.

Ghris’ is my favorite. Good song to slow dance to. Polish that belt buckle right up🤠
My 1st time hearing Chris Stapleton... ( INSTANT FAN )!!! thanks for reacting to this.
Yes he is playing and the whiskey he refers to is Jack Daniels Whiskey.
The music is from Etta James's I'd Rather Go Blind and the lyrics are David Allan Coe's Tennessee Whiskey although most people are more familiar with George Jones's version. This is sort of a mashup of the music and the lyrics. Check them all out. You won't be disappointed.
2nd that.
Coe was the first to record it, but not the writer.
Nice to see someone mention DAC.
Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove wrote this song.
I mean... you don’t have to go to Tennessee to try Tennessee whiskey 😂 That’s literally what Jack Daniels is hahaha!
Yes Chris plays an awesome guitar. One of the very best. Chis has so much soul.
Now that you've been introduced to Chris you need to listen to You Are My Sunshine where his amazing wife sings lead. She usually sings harmony with him. You'll never think of the song the same way again after the soulful twist they put on it. She's an amazing singer also.
He is playing and that’s his wife doing harmony
Playing the guitar and he's also singing with his wife it back up for him
The female voice doing backup is his wife, so it's even more romantic IMO...
I cant tell you how much joy I get from watching you react to songs. If my day isnt that good , watching your channel cheers me up ! Nice job kid , good work. good good work and
Yes, that is him playing guitar. The song becomes all the more sweet when you realize the lady singing the harmony with him is his wife, Morgane.
2:15 I've watched countless reactions to this song just to see people react to this part 😂
If you've ever had Jack Daniel's you had Tennessee whiskey
Don't forget George Dickel, Prichard’s and five or six more.
The cheap jack isnt too smooth. But the higher class stuff is.
Yep drinking some honey jack Daniel's now
Ooh, thats like saying Fosters is Australian beer... technically yes... but its entry level bargain stuff.
Irish whiskey is far superior.
You are the classiest reaction person out there. You seem to be the only one who realizes that reaction is not only verbal but physical. You don't constantly stop the song to talk....we all get what's going on by your sensory responses. Sometimes it's what you don't say that matters....thanks
Dig into his story of how he got to this point. An amazing story of perseverance. Go, Chris!
Yes it is him playing the guitar...he is incredible...love your reaction
