I have covered Chris Stapleton twice before, and both times were absolute treats. It’s been over a year, and I’ve had your requests sitting on a list I’m finally getting back to! This song comes from a grammy and CMA winning album by Chris that was not only certified platinum, but sat at #2 on the US Billboard charts and #1 in Canada. I know why. It’s so super dang good! Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Chris Stapleton performing for the first time “I Was Wrong”.
“I’m a huge metal head and a guitarist of 27 years but let me tell you, I’ve seen Chris Stapleton several times in concert and the guy is one of the most talented people on the planet. His song writing, guitar playing and vocals are incredible and the shows he puts on are just awesome. Chris wrote a ton of songs for other country singers for years until his wife told him he should write his own stuff. He also has immense stage fright but you could never tell. Dude is lightning in a bottle and just far exceeds what I once thought about him.“
“Another great bluesy Stapleton song is “Cold”. Also check out his Metallica cover of “Nothing Else Matters”. And his cover of “Whipping Post”. Man, I can’t recommend enough songs by this guy. He is just too good, and I’m not even a big country guy. Even though he’s technically country, the fact that he is so heavily rock, blues, and folk is what makes him so good. That and his amazing voice! Because country is so popular, the fact that he is even the least bit country and labeled as such is what makes him so damn popular and why so many people have discovered him and fallen in love with his music.“
