Wow. Chris Stapleton. Wow

[CanePantherHornet]

I've known about Stapleton since he was in the Steeldrivers. It was really surreal seeing him blow up like he did. 

As far as country goes, at this point there really needs to be some new genre labels handed out and official split. Stuff like Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, Cody Jinks, and Chris Stapleton has gained massive popularity in modern times and it's absolutely nothing like radio country.

I know what you're thinking- I wish I could find a good bluegrass song about being addicted to meth.

Sturgill just came out with his final album. Been listening all weekend. It’s great.

He said he’s only doing 5 albums. He’s been saying this for years. 5 album career under his name. Those bluegrass albums he released for charity during the pandemic didn’t count. I’m assuming he’ll join a band of some sort.

Wow, I didn't realize he'd said that. He's got the catalog for it, that's for sure. 

My guess is he continues down the mountain sound/bluegrass realm in the form of a band.

Sound and Fury stands out as the oddball, but it has its place.

I dunno. He’s been in a few movies. I could see him doing soundtracks or scores. He said he’s already been talking to a few people about forming a band. Dude does not like to work so I wouldn’t even be surprised if we never heard from him again lol

I did read that he has no interest in ever playing an arena again.

My last show was Sturgil and Tyler at Spectrum. Literally on the fringe of COVID.

Yeah mine got cancelled for that tour. I saw him on the previous tour. He’s awesome. He slammed his guitar and walked off stage because his pedal board kept fuging up.

For heavens sake….this thread was about the magnificence of Chris Stapleton, now it has devolved into this glorification of this twangy, petulant singer with a weird first name.  I had to listen to him to hear what the fuss was about…I don’t get it.

I’ve seen him play, this guy is all that

the songs he does with his wife are so good

and he can flat out play a guitar
