tennessee whiskey etta james

That album in my opinion is his best. SORRY GEORGE JONES FANS!

Howl-la-looya! This is by far the clearest cut case of stealing a song that I have ever seen, and courts have ruled in favor of orginal recordings in cases that are much less clear cut. It’s really sad what has happened to country music. Yes burn out has set in on the song for me as well but when it comes on my speakers and headsets at work or wherever, i rarely ever hit the skip button. I hope Dillon is amused and makes money off it, but it’s a weird world I want no part of. That’s why it was such a gamechanger. With that being said …does it matter really what type music it is as long as it makes you feel good shouldn’t that be all we need…Chris you can do no wrong in my book ..stay strong take care of those babies and that wife of yours and know you got someone that loves you and your family here in Alabama. Did he at least give any credit to Etta James and how he completely stole it?? I am still FLOORED that nobody, including Trigger, has addressed his blatant Etta James ripoff. I remember last year in class I had to do a lip sync for a public speaking project. The fact that has been so successful is more evidence that C(c)ountry is gone forever.The modern “Country” fan: “Man I love Tennessee Whiskey.”Me: “Yeah, it’s one of the best singles George Jones released, post-prime”Chris Stapleton is basically R&B Travis Tritt and that is just fine.

Same chords, same little lead lick, same beat. I have acquaintances in the world of musical theater, on my wife’s side. It’s a TOTAL RIP OFF! There are a few examples but not near enough. . Not a crime. Its just great! I’ve never listened to the dern thing all the way through. Its a great lyric and a great melody sung by a great singer. you hear it , you feel it and you respond to it because you can’t help yourself . That’s the nature of blues, they all copy each other’s chords, licks, riffs, and tempos. A great rendition of a good song, but I don’t care of I ever hear it again, even though it’s essentially become a social life inevitability.

I sing along like everyone else in the bar.

Brilliant version. The only reason why people think its country is because he wears a cowboy hat… Well if George Jones did it it must have been enough country for him Don’t forget his fake assed duster coat. Due to the mainstream market’s perspective and the genre’s own inferiority complex, the idea is that the pop stars are doing country a favor by showing up … rather than vice versa. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s certainly odd to call anything Stapleton has ever done a “country standard”. Talk about an unexpected bounty. I watched a long concert of his on YouTube and like him a lot.

I’m assuming it’s because he’s trying to figure out how to give it 3 guns and announce that it has already won album of the year. No wonder Alan Jackson walks out. It’s not everyday a modern country masterpiece is dropped in our laps unexpectedly. He puts out good music that does blur the genre lines between blues, soul, country and rock. I did “Nobody to Blame” it was great, I’m my opinion anyway. BUT, Stapleton’s version of Tennessee Whiskey follows the Etta James song very closely…..and the real kicker is that he even uses the same vocal inflections. It’s literally the most unbelievable thing that this site and it’s readers’ ridiculous mis classification of Stapleton as anything even close to “country” has come up with to date. And rather than having Stapleton perform “Mirrors” or “SexyBack,” they performed the somewhat country-leaning “Drink You Away.”The result was a performance that played to both artists’ strengths AND sent the message that Stapleton was a big enough deal for this pop superstar to come and support. I love his voice and I love the fact that his wife is right there with him in his journeys. Yep. I’M 62 RAISED ON ALL OF THE “LEGENDS” BUT CHRIS STAPLETON NOW OWNS “TENNESSEE WHISKEY”!!!!!!!!!!! When it’s ready, it will be posted. This is by far the clearest cut case of stealing a song that I have ever seen, and courts have ruled in favor of orginal recordings in cases that are much less clear cut.
