@@fattick3188 Because regardless of whether you like it or not, youre more likely to hear of Chris Stapleton from a white dude in the sticks rather than a black man from the city. Hes not noticing color to talk shit, he's acknowledging the beauty of the situation
I'm a metalhead, and I typically hate country music, but this one blew me away. As a white guy who grew up in the sticks, I can honestly say I never thought two black dudes from the city would introduce me to a country song I actually like. Amazing. Good work, gentlemen!
Jason Newman , Nup not me.....I love metal and listen to lots of genres but this I don’t get, awesome voice yeh sure......but.....🤘all the way man. Good on you fellas for liking it tho and speaking up too, each to their own ey.
He reminds me of Sam Cook, with the runs in this song. The first thing I thought when I heard this is, it’s not country it’s blues! At 73yrs young I love any good music!
Blake Bass I’m doing the exact same thing as I type. This is like my 10th CS Reaction video just to see their reactions. As someone born and raised in Eastern KY with him and his wife, we sure are proud of family 💙
The back up vocals is Stapleton's wife.. what many do not know is that he suffers stage fright really bad.. having his wife at his side makes him capable to do what he does.. she is his comfort .
Metal Head Morgana. They have 5 children, 4 boys and 1 girl. True sweet love story. Morgana gave him the courage to not stop writing songs but write and come out front to SING. I love them both.
You hear it through the years the different types of Blues, Soul, Country, Rock, bluegrass all of it came from one sound and intermingled to make something new but familiar. Yes music is one love, it knows now race, religion, sex or anything. It reaches in and grabs your heart and speaks to you.
I swear I’ve watch this shit like 50 times since I first saw it. The small feeling of listening to a song for the first time through someone else’s perspective is like a drug. Keep up the great stuff, guys!
Ditto all the other comments. I'm an older white guy. When I saw 2 black guys giving a reaction to Tennessee Whiskey pop up on my feed, well I had to watch. I don't subscribe to a lot. Usually a channel has to touch me in some way. Guys, the song didn't touch me as I have heard it a thousand times. You 2 guys reaction did touch me though. Something about your reactions gave me a touch of hope for a world filled with not so nice people! Keep it up men!
"With a voice like his, you would've thought somebody black would've told me about him." Oh my word, I absolutely LOOOOVE you guys! So glad I found you today & subscribed! You two make my heart smile. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Does anybody else play this reaction video any time you need a little boost to your day? Pure joy watching them hear this for the first time. The song's fantastic, but the reaction makes me smile every time.
Mindy Hanson yes ma’am!!! I feel this way about a ton of their videos, actually. Being here in Nashville and seeing the love in general across the country for Chris Stapleton makes me happy baseline but they are such a shining light in their genuine love for all things quality and creative. Amazing.
This is one of my favorite LIV video's and I come back to watch occasionally. The one thing that does not get enough credit is most of Stapleton's songs is the role his wife plays with the background vocals. She provides what is not too much, but not too little, just the perfect amount of background vocals.
I just had a chemo. treatment...and this video made my heart so happy....and I just really had fun from start to finish.....thank you......Peace, Love & Happiness
I believe it now, after hearing this song. I am WAY more of a Hip Hop and Metal fan, country is the last genre I would reach for...but I MIGHT have to rethink my stance now.
I thought I was sealed into the pop genre YET my 3 kids introduced me to others. When kids ask a parent to “come listen to this” do. Why? You learn good music AND they begin to talk about their lives. My first son had me listen to Marilyn Manson, Hole. Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, my 2nd son to Pink Floyd/other 60’s bands, my daughter country, rap, hip hop. The last 2 catagories astounded me but the music’s good.
Chris is one of those singers who could sing anything, and people would listen. He's got pipes and soul. He can sang so good, you'd have to take the shoes off of someone else's feet to throw at him, too.
This was the first Chris Stapleton song I’d ever heard, I’m a metal head at heart and this song blew my mind. This man’s voice is other worldly, nice work boys 🤙
[This is in response to the person who said his wife sings backup.] Wow! I didn’t know that. I’ve listened to this a million times, & I always think what an amazing job she does. Can’t imagine anyone else’s emotion bleeding through like hers. It’s a song to “feeeuulll.” & shes feelin’ it & sangin’ the feelin!’ Of course your boy Chris... no words. He’s bad to the bottom of the bottle👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤩
It is a true pleasure being a white guy from the hoods of Columbus Ohio and seeing black dudes react to this with such respect in a time where we are going through so much division in our country... the soul has no color fella's, much love and respect...💯👌
i just told my friend last night that chris was grooving!! lol funny to read your comment .. groove is not usually a word i use but he brought me back with that voice
Just so you guys know, these reaction videos you're doing on here go much further then "reactions" on cam. When I scroll down to read the comments I see people of all races, religions, etc all being open minded to different cultures. I appreciate you guys for doing something real on your channel.
You said it better than I could. Two self-proclaimed hip hop heads just introduced a white metal head into the best country song he's ever heard! It almost sounds like Al Green or Sam Cook. I can't believe how great this song is, and I love this channel. I came for the Megadeth and stayed for the country.
I have a suggestion for a song reaction. "midnight in harlem" by the Tedeschi Trucks band. the lead singer and the guitarist are married and each had their own band then brought them together and formed this band. theyre a multi racial band so everyone brings their own style. listen to the first 30 seconds and it will speak for its self. I know you get a ton of requests but i'd love to see you guys react to this and really feel this beautiful song :-)
lmao "one more time he ain't singin... he SANGIN" for real tho Chris Stapleton got THAT voice, the voice thats filled with soul and it's so incredible how good it is. I'm going to be keeping an eye out for Chris man and future country genre songs man. Shoutout to you guys Lost In Vegas for putting me on this.
Check out sturgill simpson as well. Some of his music also has that soul too. But chris definitely has pure blues soul. Like the kind of soul that hasnt been in music since like the 50s
Here's to hoping this style of music BLOWS UP. I'm not a country fan in general, but incorporating those blues/jazz elements...you can't help but feel what he's feeling and tap your toe to it.
If you catch some of Stapleton early shows on UA-cam, his wife is usually singing with him and she is an amazing singer also. She deserves her own acknowledgements.
Thanks guys! These are times when cultural differences shouldn’t separate us, but they are. Much respect for your time and opinions with this heart felt song that showed even country, sometimes, has soul!
I feel ya guys on this, I from the same place. TALENT....Transcends genres......... If you are open minded, there is some amazing talent out there. Great music is great music...
Papa Arthritis I concur. Though absolutely beautiful, I just by coincidence played “Rather Go Blind” by Etta James right after this and the chills and likeness were unreal!
Its packaged as country? Jesus H Christ. If you opened your mind you would know that humans all have soul and when its poured into music with emotion, we all sound pretty much the same. And always have...HUMAN its not a race thing.
@@christinezehnle7552 If you opened YOUR eyes, you would see I never mentioned a word about race. I referred to GENRE. The vocal stylings/runs are very reminiscent of what one would hear in Motown as opposed to country. You were obviously looking for something to be offended over and were compelled to give an unnecessary speech to draw a cheering section. I don't think anyone with even a modicum of intelligence will actually fall for it, however.
2:00 in and you talked about the runs and your ears perking up I could not wait for you to get to the chorus! 😁 Chris is a badass I love what you guys are doin. Be easy. ❤️
I've watched this reaction to this song about twenty times since it came out, and it's only second to your reaction to pneuma. I'll come back to it again down the road, but this was the reaction that hooked me on this channel.
When you all say stuff like “these are the runs we know” etc. these are the runs I know, I’m a white guy from Kentucky and I love country music. My point is we’re more alike than people think. I loved this video guys keep it up
Chris Stapleton is the real deal. He has so much soul. He is has an incredible voice and is an amazing songwriter and guitarist although he didn't write Tennessee Whiskey. What I also love about him is during his concerts he can't seem to take his eyes off of his wife who performs with him. You can see the love he has for her. Beautiful. Loved your reaction!
I love this song..discovered it about 6 months ago..goes to prove that, despite what many politicians want us to believe, we have more in common than apart..beautiful blues and soul..just like Elvis..sing this with my son while he plays the guitar..love to rif..
I had never heard of Outlaw State of Mind so I looked it up when I read your comment. I was smiling from the first line he sang. Oh my goodness. I was feeling Hank Jr. all through that song!
You guys nailed it on the head. This song is a cover of cover. Many people have redone this song. It’s actually like a 40 year old song. But Chris Stapleton is the first to slow it down into a blues country song, that with the runs and rich voice, BOOM a HIT
@Cord Bullard I think that’s a racist statement sir...blacks have been horribly mistreated since they were brought over here on slave ships. Racism is still alive and well today as much as it was then; including hatred and bigotry.
It's funny actually considering Stapelton ripped off the melody from Etta James "I'd rather go blind" to do this cover. It's not that I have a problem with him using that song, its the fact he gave Etta James 0 credit.
@@kimberpas2907 yes, it is a David Allen Coe song. The music he used to do the cover and the way he sang the song is taken from Etta James "I'd rather go blind." It's blatant.
This song brought me to your channel. I subscribed and have been down the Lost In Vegas rabbit hole for a few weeks now. Never thought that would happen but I'm glad it did! You guys are bringing people together from different musical tastes and communities by being genuine, positive, open, funny, and just yourselves. Keep it up!!
“Down the lost in Vegas rabbit hole” is the perfect summary for what happened when I first checked these guys out. Outstanding channel y’all. Outstanding.
"This doesn't count for country" man listen! This IS the real country! All that Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean crap aint country, it's twang pop. THIS is country. Country, blues, jazz, rock, R&B, they've all been intertwined from their beginnings.
John Goode I kinda agree with you but if you listen to some of Jason Aldean’s and Dierks Bentley’s songs like Amarillo Sky and I hold on those are really good songs and others songs by them are really good too. And I agree with you I hate some of these new pop songs that are “country”, they’re garbage but don’t disrespect these guys man. Sam Hunt and Kane Brown and some of these new singers are not true country but Jason and Dierks were real country singers man just some of they’re songs aren’t country and don’t let that change your mind on them totally because some of they’re songs are really good true country songs!
Those audio shit bombs they play on Country radio is NOT country music & it’s nice to see someone else sees it too...you want real country music you gotta start with 2 guys :Cash & Waylon,I hated country music until I heard Waylon & he totally changed the way I look at music in general,real music only needs 1 title/genre:Soul Music,cuz that’s what it is...Chris Cornell was a soul singer,Ben Harper,Rihanna,Ben from Lucero,The Band,Kurt Cobain,they just have something that is genuine ,it can’t be produced in a studio or faked cuz it’s just too real ,listen to the Temple of the Dog record & tell me it’s not soul music
Balzac T. Bagher while today I totally agree with you. In the past she has had some good the were actual country in the past like Tim McGraw and Teardrops on my Guitar
I first heard Tennessee Whiskey when Mr. Stapleton and Mr. Timberlake collabed on the CMA Awards. Been a fan of Timberlake since day one but became an instant fan of Stapleton and his soulful voice from that moment on. That was 2015 and I still return to watch the perfomance every now and then. To see Keith Urban and all the other country music stars sing along to both of the artist's songs was awesome! 💕💕💕💕💕
I pushed my man off of me when I seen the notification this is one of my favorite songs Edit: didnt know my comment would get so much attention thanks guys make sure you subscribe
Gained a subscriber. Thanks for the genuine reaction. Not every song or type of music is for everyone. Giving an open minded opportunity for a genre to speak to you....thank you. From an old white dude who grew up on music like this and stopped listening to rap when Pac died....
@@lordblue223 I totally agree on that. I just think it’s a great song to open the door and because of its blues qualities tied in with country I think a lot more people would be receptive to trying other country music.
Because you both loved one of the greatest artists in music history...I'm proudly subscribing...can't wait to see your other reactions. I really like your enthusiasm from finding this great rendition of Tennessee Whiskey....you ought to research Chris Stapleton, for he has written hundreds of songs for various artist, lettered in multiple sports in school, and his wife is super talented too. He seems like a really good person. Thanks for the great video.
This is not just country, but an algamation of his tastes based on the American styles of music. It's Americana. Country, blues, soul, gospel.... great stuff.
I've already liked this song for some time now, but watching these two guys discover it is a joy to watch and I've watched it several times for over a year now.
Just found your guys' channel two days ago, and have binged watched almost every video! I rarely watch reaction videos but you guys are funny, positive, and very open to embracing all kinds of music. I wish you both the best of luck and hope your page blows up!
Just saw this video the last day of 2020 after a bad year and i havent stopped laughing/smiling. Been subscribed for 3 years but this video alone made me hit that bell!
I kind of like how Country, Blues, and Soul have been re-integrating lately; it's always refreshing to hear something that's in a genre you wouldn't normally listen to, but familiar enough that you can appreciate and enjoy it musically.
I'm having so much fun watching all of you black guys genuinely LOVING Chris Stapleton! Been watching and liking for a few hours! So much FUN! I needed this! Thank you!
So there I was, being introduced to Chris Stapleton by two black guys from Vegas.
Haha! You can learn something from everyone you meet
Lol
Why do you see color? TMI...
@@fattick3188 Because regardless of whether you like it or not, youre more likely to hear of Chris Stapleton from a white dude in the sticks rather than a black man from the city. Hes not noticing color to talk shit, he's acknowledging the beauty of the situation
Same bro
“Singing like this, you would’ve thought somebody black would’ve told me about him” might be the most hilariously real moment of the video 😂
Abby Sweat Exactly.
I agree! Well, also when they said they were not looking forward to hearing a song with that title!
A sista I used to mess with decades ago just put me on to him. I 100% affirm yours and their statement
Agree!!
I think its kinda of racist. White people gave been singing like this long before blacks. Plus you dont have to be a certain color to see talent
I'm a metalhead, and I typically hate country music, but this one blew me away. As a white guy who grew up in the sticks, I can honestly say I never thought two black dudes from the city would introduce me to a country song I actually like. Amazing. Good work, gentlemen!
Same boat. Came here for the metal reactions. Stayed for the unexpected.
This dude can belt it
Same! Love it.
Same Metal Head, Grew up in the South, Doesn't generally Like Country but this song is just a good Song, So Bluesy and Soulful
Jason Newman , Nup not me.....I love metal and listen to lots of genres but this I don’t get, awesome voice yeh sure......but.....🤘all the way man. Good on you fellas for liking it tho and speaking up too, each to their own ey.
He reminds me of Sam Cook, with the runs in this song. The first thing I thought when I heard this is, it’s not country it’s blues! At 73yrs young I love any good music!
Everytime I hear I think I know this sound. I forgot Sam Cooke. I'm going to have to get the old LPs out. Thanks for reminding me.
I now watch every chris Stapleton reaction so I can laugh and nod to my fellow music lovers make the “stank face” when he starts those runs
Blake Bass I’m doing the exact same thing as I type. This is like my 10th CS Reaction video just to see their reactions. As someone born and raised in Eastern KY with him and his wife, we sure are proud of family 💙

Their version of “You are My Sunshine” unreal. They are the perfect couple!
True he was considered a country song writer for many years
If my exwife was a backup singer id be too damn drunk to sing...js #fathersrights
They are great together
I think people don't realize that country, blues, and soul are cousins to each other. It's all one love!
Alucard Peach yes, they are!
You hear it through the years the different types of Blues, Soul, Country, Rock, bluegrass all of it came from one sound and intermingled to make something new but familiar. Yes music is one love, it knows now race, religion, sex or anything. It reaches in and grabs your heart and speaks to you.
That can go across any genre of music. everybody took blues and modified it into all the genres you hear today xP
So true
So true
Yeah as a black man country music is not my regular playlist but Chris touched my heart with this soulful sound.
“Singing like this, you’d think someone black would have told me about him”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I read that quote as he said it 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Actually laughed out loud at that comment! Hilarious!
aint that the truf tho :D
cause about 150 years ago, they invented that shit :)
Best comment ever, this reaction is awesome
Chris Stapleton was a songwriter encouraged by performers to start singing. He is one of the top vocalists in the world.
That's right!! Im from Nashville and he is a great writer that no one thought this would happen to because of his " look". He is AMAZING.
Also was in a great band called the Steele drivers search me up
@@mobilegamingguy3924 oh yeah! amazing blue grass!!!!!
He's an entire genre on his own
He was actually encouraged by his wife, who is also his back up singer.
Y'all late. Chris was invited to the cookout a week after this song came out. 😂😂😂
@John Doe 😂😂😂😂 Silly!
This comment! 🙌🏼 I want to invite George to a cookout 😁
I guess I missed the cook out too ma'am.😂🤣
Chris was invited after the first guitar note. #NoDebate
Omfg lol.
This is honestly one of the greatest songs ever recorded of any genre, and I’m not even a country guy
I got this song as my ringtone and I'm a 69year old black woman. But I love all of Chris records.🤷🏿♀️👍🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
He just puts out great music
Love you
I'm a white 68 year old and I have it as my ringtone too
69 nice 👍🏼
Go girl -it’s a great song
I swear I’ve watch this shit like 50 times since I first saw it. The small feeling of listening to a song for the first time through someone else’s perspective is like a drug. Keep up the great stuff, guys!
Exactly. People who diss reaction vids just don't get it.
Same!
Edwin Black wow i never thought of it like that your endorphins start running for sure !!
Me too!!
Ditto all the other comments. I'm an older white guy. When I saw 2 black guys giving a reaction to Tennessee Whiskey pop up on my feed, well I had to watch. I don't subscribe to a lot. Usually a channel has to touch me in some way. Guys, the song didn't touch me as I have heard it a thousand times. You 2 guys reaction did touch me though. Something about your reactions gave me a touch of hope for a world filled with not so nice people! Keep it up men!

Same, this is the song I subscribed to them for. Great stuff.
Same
👍👍👍👍 Damn right!
God bless you...love from California
Wow! The chemistry the two of you has is FANTASTIC. The editing is tight. Audio levels are dead-bang on the money. I wish you the BEST of SUCCESS!
"With a voice like his, you would've thought somebody black would've told me about him."
Oh my word, I absolutely LOOOOVE you guys! So glad I found you today & subscribed! You two make my heart smile. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Chris Stapleton revived my ears to country. Talent is talent no matter what genre!
Matt Yellowhorse especially when you steal the song from a black singer EttaJames
Jacque Renee are you talking about this song? He stole Tennessee Whiskey from Etta James?
This is country soul
+Jacque Renee (eye roll) just stop...and FYI Etta James had a white daddy genius
Piece by piece by Kelly Clarkson.

CHRIS STAPLETON HAS BEEN NAMED THE ARTIST/SONGWRITER OF THE DECADE IN COUNTRY MUSIC (2010-2019) BY THE CMA!!!!!!!
Cool thing about Chris is his wife sings backup vocals for him
Maybe the most underappreciated part frankly
I commented this on a different reaction video and when I saw your comment I got so confused because I was like..wut? I haven't seen this one yet.
I also sing backup for my husband
In the shower
[This is in response to the person who said his wife sings backup.] Wow! I didn’t know that. I’ve listened to this a million times, & I always think what an amazing job she does.

Very well said…this is great
I liked watching them at 6:21go through the emotions when the guitar solo hits hard.
This is by far my favorite reaction video. The joy is these guys voices and faces says it all. Salud!
And this is how I found Chris Stapleton. I can't thank you guys enough. ❤
me too!
Guys keep building musical bridges and bring us all together. One nation under a groove
i just told my friend last night that chris was grooving!! lol funny to read your comment .. groove is not usually a word i use but he brought me back with that voice
Chris' tennessee whiskey reactions are the best
This was favorite for sure
One of the only “bluesy country” songs I love. This guy is different. He’s on another level

Chris Stapleton has spent a lot of time listening to Gospel .. it's all over his voice - great singer-songwriter .. real deal :)
OLE BOY IS FROM PAINTSVILLE,KY..This is a remake of an old George Jones song. Another AMAZING song of his is "Fire Away"!!
Cosidering he comes from a gospel background, ( ever hear of the Stapleton Singers). It's not surprising at all.
Diedra Mullins pretty sure it’s David Allen Coe’s song
Check out his band the steel drivers.
Bradley... DAC did sing it, but it was originally a George Jones song...edit, DAC did sing it first
Someone black should of told me about him already 😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀🔥🔥🔥
Hahahahaha
FunFact: That's his wife singing harmonies in the chorus. 🤘🏻
Other Mike alway wondered who was singing backup. She sounds just as good as him.
Morgane his wife has a few songs of her own.

If you catch some of Stapleton early shows on UA-cam, his wife is usually singing with him and she is an amazing singer also. She deserves her own acknowledgements.
No it’s not
Thanks guys! These are times when cultural differences shouldn’t separate us, but they are. Much respect for your time and opinions with this heart felt song that showed even country, sometimes, has soul!
I feel ya guys on this, I from the same place.
TALENT....Transcends genres......... If you are open minded, there is some amazing talent out there.
Great music is great music...
monteself1968 Amen bro
damn right people ask me what kinda music I like......... I say .... "good"
You said it
True talk there. If you stick to one single genre then you aren't really a music fan.
Chris May be the only dude who’s been handed more honorary black cards than Eminem.
Jason Jrake ahaha accurate
Lol
Dont forget about Bobby Cadwell 🤣🤣💯
Jose Victoriano I was just about to say
@@josevictoriano7094 💯
This may be packaged as country, but you can hear Motown soul all over the place.
Papa Arthritis I concur. Though absolutely beautiful, I just by coincidence played “Rather Go Blind” by Etta James right after this and the chills and likeness were unreal!
Its packaged as country? Jesus H Christ. If you opened your mind you would know that humans all have soul and when its poured into music with emotion, we all sound pretty much the same. And always have...HUMAN its not a race thing.
@@christinezehnle7552 If you opened YOUR eyes, you would see I never mentioned a word about race. I referred to GENRE. The vocal stylings/runs are very reminiscent of what one would hear in Motown as opposed to country. You were obviously looking for something to be offended over and were compelled to give an unnecessary speech to draw a cheering section. I don't think anyone with even a modicum of intelligence will actually fall for it, however.
Papa, I agree with you.........lots of music cross genres (sp?)
@@distantstorm3808 BINGO!!!
2:00 in and you talked about the runs and your ears perking up I could not wait for you to get to the chorus! 😁
Chris is a badass
I love what you guys are doin.
Be easy. ❤️
This reaction made me subscribe - just the way you totally appreciated this song....and your heartfelt reactions ♥ from South Africa.
Me too
ditto
Net so
Welp. You can add another South African subscriber to the total.
And me.
This was my exact reaction to this song. Respect gentlemen. Love what you guys do. It's good for the human race.
I've watched this reaction to this song about twenty times since it came out, and it's only second to your reaction to pneuma. I'll come back to it again down the road, but this was the reaction that hooked me on this channel.
that whole traveller album is fire.
Every Album is fire from the core of the sun.
Mitch Colon facts!!!
When you all say stuff like “these are the runs we know” etc. these are the runs I know, I’m a white guy from Kentucky and I love country music. My point is we’re more alike than people think. I loved this video guys keep it up
Half white girl from the sticks of Kentucky here. Good music is undeniable. Even better when it's from a fellow Bluegrass State artist.
🎤🎧🎼🎵🎶🎹🎻🎺🎷🎸
La Vas amazing how music can sooth the soul and make us appreciate each other.
Chris Stapleton is the real deal. He has so much soul. He is has an incredible voice and is an amazing songwriter and guitarist although he didn't write Tennessee Whiskey. What I also love about him is during his concerts he can't seem to take his eyes off of his wife who performs with him. You can see the love he has for her. Beautiful. Loved your reaction!
Odette Stremel listen to Chris millionaire song
Singing "pain" knows no race, sex or color.
I love this song..discovered it about 6 months ago..goes to prove that, despite what many politicians want us to believe, we have more in common than apart..beautiful blues and soul..just like Elvis..sing this with my son while he plays the guitar..love to rif..
Elvis might be the worst example to use here considering he got rich & famous off of black peoples music & left them with nothing..
“Seems like somebody black would have told me about it” 😂😭🤤
Gina Poalero Wagnon lol when you hit those little runs black people's ears perk up.
Proof that pain, music, life, and soul belongs to EVERYONE.
Hi
Gina poalero you sexy as fuck .
😂😂
I come back to this video regularly. It’s just enjoyable to see y’all enjoy it. Outlaw State of Mind. Chris Stapleton.
Oeewwh...you're cute!!
I had never heard of Outlaw State of Mind so I looked it up when I read your comment. I was smiling from the first line he sang. Oh my goodness. I was feeling Hank Jr. all through that song!
You guys nailed it on the head. This song is a cover of cover. Many people have redone this song. It’s actually like a 40 year old song. But Chris Stapleton is the first to slow it down into a blues country song, that with the runs and rich voice, BOOM a HIT
George Jones did the cover, right?
It's actually a lyrical cover of a cover blended with the music from a completely different song (ie Etta James)
I really enjoy these Tennessee whiskey reaction videos! Dude can sing, and the Song is great!
This should’ve ended racism😴💯😂
From your lips to Gods ears...😊
@Cord Bullard I think that’s a racist statement sir...blacks have been horribly mistreated since they were brought over here on slave ships. Racism is still alive and well today as much as it was then; including hatred and bigotry.
It's funny actually considering Stapelton ripped off the melody from Etta James "I'd rather go blind" to do this cover. It's not that I have a problem with him using that song, its the fact he gave Etta James 0 credit.
Bmonty ummm David Allan Coe first sang it...
@@kimberpas2907 yes, it is a David Allen Coe song. The music he used to do the cover and the way he sang the song is taken from Etta James "I'd rather go blind." It's blatant.
This song brought me to your channel. I subscribed and have been down the Lost In Vegas rabbit hole for a few weeks now. Never thought that would happen but I'm glad it did! You guys are bringing people together from different musical tastes and communities by being genuine, positive, open, funny, and just yourselves. Keep it up!!
Alesha P same here! Came up as a recommendation from Hurt by JC and have been listening for 3 hours
Alesha P AGREED!!
I came in a very similar fashion! Love these guys!
“Down the lost in Vegas rabbit hole” is the perfect summary for what happened when I first checked these guys out.
Outstanding channel y’all. Outstanding.
Same!!
"This doesn't count for country" man listen! This IS the real country! All that Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean crap aint country, it's twang pop. THIS is country. Country, blues, jazz, rock, R&B, they've all been intertwined from their beginnings.
John Goode I kinda agree with you but if you listen to some of Jason Aldean’s and Dierks Bentley’s songs like Amarillo Sky and I hold on those are really good songs and others songs by them are really good too. And I agree with you I hate some of these new pop songs that are “country”, they’re garbage but don’t disrespect these guys man. Sam Hunt and Kane Brown and some of these new singers are not true country but Jason and Dierks were real country singers man just some of they’re songs aren’t country and don’t let that change your mind on them totally because some of they’re songs are really good true country songs!
This is the heart of country. The soul of country.
It shames me that Taylor Swift was ever considered country
Those audio shit bombs they play on Country radio is NOT country music & it’s nice to see someone else sees it too...you want real country music you gotta start with 2 guys :Cash & Waylon,I hated country music until I heard Waylon & he totally changed the way I look at music in general,real music only needs 1 title/genre:Soul Music,cuz that’s what it is...Chris Cornell was a soul singer,Ben Harper,Rihanna,Ben from Lucero,The Band,Kurt Cobain,they just have something that is genuine ,it can’t be produced in a studio or faked cuz it’s just too real ,listen to the Temple of the Dog record & tell me it’s not soul music
Balzac T. Bagher while today I totally agree with you. In the past she has had some good the were actual country in the past like Tim McGraw and Teardrops on my Guitar
I first heard Tennessee Whiskey when Mr. Stapleton and Mr. Timberlake collabed on the CMA Awards. Been a fan of Timberlake since day one but became an instant fan of Stapleton and his soulful voice from that moment on. That was 2015 and I still return to watch the perfomance every now and then. To see Keith Urban and all the other country music stars sing along to both of the artist's songs was awesome! 💕💕💕💕💕
Great collaboration!
No joke. Just the first few seconds into this song. I paused your video and downloaded everything I could find for him on my Prime app. Holy shit!!!
I pushed my man off of me when I seen the notification this is one of my favorite songs
Edit: didnt know my comment would get so much attention thanks guys make sure you subscribe
LMAO!!!! 😂😂❤️❤️
nadedje ndaikeza lol
Hahaha ... I feel you on that
Did you pull him back on when it was over?
Put a foot on his chest then judo flip him out of the bed.
Gained a subscriber. Thanks for the genuine reaction. Not every song or type of music is for everyone. Giving an open minded opportunity for a genre to speak to you....thank you. From an old white dude who grew up on music like this and stopped listening to rap when Pac died....
He is bodying this song
You just got me hooked on this guy. I grew up on outlaw country...watched it fade away...and thank God it's back. Thanks guys!
even though ive seen this video i always come back every couple months and watch this. puts a smile on my face. thanks guys
You gentlemen are an absolute treat to watch. Would love to buy you a round.
This is one of my favorite reactions you guys have. The shocked look on your faces is just priceless
Too bad Stevie Ray Vaughn isn’t still with us..... Stapleton and Stevie woulda been Amazing together.
Jody Cox Stevie always said “I’m a guitarist who they make sing.” He’d have loved to play the blues while Chris sang em.
For real!!!
👍😎
capital 'H' HELL YES!!!!!
SRV. Absolutely. RIP.
I don't even like country music, but this song I listen to all the time.
This should be everyone’s first experience with country 😂
Its greatness, but its not the best intro to country only because it is more blues/soul than country.
@@lordblue223 I totally agree on that. I just think it’s a great song to open the door and because of its blues qualities tied in with country I think a lot more people would be receptive to trying other country music.
First experience with black soul music you mean? It's not country. Just a country singer.
This was mine. My next was recent Elvie Shane's "My boy" brought tears to my eyes
This is literally an Etta James song with the lyrics from Tennessee Whiskey over it. The lyrics are the only trad country part.
This gave me hope in America God bless.
Because you both loved one of the greatest artists in music history...I'm proudly subscribing...can't wait to see your other reactions. I really like your enthusiasm from finding this great rendition of Tennessee Whiskey....you ought to research Chris Stapleton, for he has written hundreds of songs for various artist, lettered in multiple sports in school, and his wife is super talented too. He seems like a really good person. Thanks for the great video.
bearded man I agree! And sturgill simpson is another great artist.
Make art not war 74 checking him out now.....thanks for the suggestion
bearded man that beard! Bro! I’m a year in and ain’t got shit on that. How long?
bearded man Ya. Dude wrote many hits long before anyone knew his name. He’s an ample example of a great musician.
People: Country music sucks.
Chris Stapleton: Hold my beer.
Ona did you mean “hold my whiskey”
You missed a trick there...
so you came in to just complain about country...lol
More like “hold my bottle of jack”
Preach
This is not just country, but an algamation of his tastes based on the American styles of music. It's Americana. Country, blues, soul, gospel.... great stuff.
You guys had me smiling ear to ear watching you hear him. Great dynamic!
It seems to riff on "I'd Rather Go Blind" from Etta James. That's why it sounds familiar.
It is I'd rather go blind.
This song has been around since David Allan Coe originally recorded it. It has also been done by George Jones. And just btw, I'm a metal head. 😂😂
Just seems?!?! Lol
I've already liked this song for some time now, but watching these two guys discover it is a joy to watch and I've watched it several times for over a year now.
I love Chris Stapleton and you guys gave the best authentic reaction! Glad he made your playlist. 😉
Chris covered this older country song and added an awesome bluesy soul groove to it. love this version. The man rocks. tx
Just found your guys' channel two days ago, and have binged watched almost every video! I rarely watch reaction videos but you guys are funny, positive, and very open to embracing all kinds of music. I wish you both the best of luck and hope your page blows up!
I love this reaction SO MUCH that I've watched it probably 20 times 😂 I've shared it with family and friends. LOVE IT!
you got to remember the blues and country came out of the south, so the roots of each overlap.
Just saw this video the last day of 2020 after a bad year and i havent stopped laughing/smiling. Been subscribed for 3 years but this video alone made me hit that bell!
I kind of like how Country, Blues, and Soul have been re-integrating lately; it's always refreshing to hear something that's in a genre you wouldn't normally listen to, but familiar enough that you can appreciate and enjoy it musically.
First time hearing this song brought real tears to my eyes no cap. This guy is clearly gifted no question 👍🏾👌🏾✨
Me too brother..me too
I love watching these reactions for songs I know and I'm like "oh they're going to flip at this part" ha
I'm having so much fun watching all of you black guys genuinely LOVING Chris Stapleton! Been watching and liking for a few hours! So much FUN! I needed this! Thank you!
People: I don’t fw country music
Chris Stapleton: Hang on a second, hand me the mic
Yess🤣🤣🤣
Actually Chris was more like: Oh, they don’t like country? Hold my beer...
@@popej611 😂😂😂😂
John Pope hold my whisky**
Exactly absolutely correct!!! Then he would say you don't do what now LOL
