I have to see this guy…..in my youth, got to see everyone that was anyone live.  Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Eagles, Janis Joplin, Clapton, Traffic, etc etc etc.  normally, I strongly dislike country music…,closest I’ve ever been to liking anything country related was working with Johnny Cash’s first wife, Vivian, who was a wonderful lady, loved her.  
 

He’s not really country, he’s not to be pigeon holed.  Never heard this range or talent from any country singer.  Now this. Metallica cover?

Chris Stapleton is more R&B/blues than country.

I agree.  As I said on another thread on here, I’m A big Blues fan, so so was stunned to hear that amazing voice coming out of a guy with all that hair wearing a cowboy hat.  Mind blowing.

There is actually a lot of damn good country out there right now. You won't hear it on the radio, but guys like Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Cody Jinks, Colter Wall, Paul Cauthen, Ward Davis, etc. are fuging killing it right now. Honest to god, we might actually be in the golden era of country and most people have no clue.

Tried listening to it (my daughter and SIL love it), they’ve seen some big names in concerts at the Ryman, as well as some arena in Nashville they say is too big,  Hang Out Fest in Alabama and a couple venues in Kentucky.  They also like Sturgil Simpson, Jason Isbell and others you named.  I’ve heard them all….just don’t like that music at all…so my friends are shocked I’m such a big fan of Stapleton.  My daughter has been telling me about him and his wife Morgane for years.  Should have listened.

Saw Chris when Jason Isbell opened up for him in Maryland awhile ago. He’s better live than recordings. Incredible voice. I’d add Orville peck to the country list and I never see him mentioned probably because he’s openly gay and has drag queens open up for him on his tours. He has an amazing voice and is extremely talented. Sounds like Roy Orbison. 

 

covers Reba here

he was a drummer in a pretty famous punk band in Canada. Very talented guy. Love his albums.

Add Jason Isbell, Zach Bryan, Ian Noe, John Moreland in this list

    • I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.
    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
