Chris StapletonTraveller 2015 Mercury Records, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc.Released on: . Cool Lester Smooth 3:02 pm. One of the members of Turnpike Troubadours passive-aggressively took a shot at Stapleton on twitter and it rubbed me the wrong way. What will his next record sound like? country music doesnt need a savior. The answer to this question is that we have absolutely no clue where Chris Stapleton will go from here, and its unfair to assume what Stapleton is going to do one way or the other in the future. He may know how to deliver an impressive guitar solo, but it nonetheless fails to rattle me quite like that of Keith Urbans in Stupid Boy or that of Brad Paisleys earlier solos for instance. Even if Stapleton never paid dues and never struggled, he still put out an excellent album (with your help). I bet you the album will be fairly highly ranked in the No Depression Readers Poll. 1:59 pm, Chris Lewis "Louie" November 11, 2015 @ As Tompall Glaser once said, Damn it, the fight isnt in Austin and it isnt in Los Angeles.

RAM is owned by Chrysler and they are made at the Warren Truck Plant in Warren, Michigan. Of course I wont so I wait and wait for FGL to go the fuck away. The concern with Stapleton is that he has compromised at times in his career. Watch as Jones and his team . November 11, 2015 @ Thats my worry. November 11, 2015 @ I have despised pop country from birth. Maybe Cris Stapleton will save country music. If some of the current country superstars adjust their sound for a little more traditional appeal in some cases might have wanted to do that already, but needed leverage when going to their producers, handlers, and so forth- then that might be a good thing,too. November 12, 2015 @ November 11, 2015 @ Alan is the only one who has been releasing musings with a real melody and lyrics that embody what Real Country Music meant for the last 70 years.

I personally dont see that it takes anything at all away from his country output, but those looking for a country savior might not cotton to it. Hank Jr from the 70s was fun, Hank III today makes the best country music. It Means Nothing Until the End of the World. Well, isnt that lovely. It became Stapleton's first top 10 single on the US Country Airplay chart. New from : Used from : Audio CD "Please retry" $89.00 . I bought it the day it was released. But I think they see the writing on the wall, and if they dont come out with a record with significantly more substance, theyre going to flop. He strikes me neither as suffering from egoism, nor narcissism disorder, nor entitlement attitudes. Its because his song selections suck. Willie started out writing pop country for Patsy Cline. I know Borschetta is always in the loop but the Stapleton Show seemed to come out of left field even though the show itself was billed with a different direction than recent years. Is anybody knowledgeable really saying that? The tide is turning.

Just because he wrote some saccharine fluff for the publishing company doesnt mean that is a representation of who he is as an artist. If you want to see country music be saved, get off the couch and go see a show. 00 $. To put it another way, he has many of the tools that can shape well-rounded performers, but lacks range or applied knowledge in how to use them. November 13, 2015 @ 1:10 pm, [] Not everyone is happy about Stapletons ascent, though. I certainly do. Applejack He looks like he belongs in a stuffy white fraternity. Thomas Gottschalk, Billy Dee Williams, George Kennedy, Dom DeLuise. I dont know what JTE is but I looked up the Patterson Hood and yes, he looks hipster but that is completely different than preppy.

Coop November 12, 2015 @ I think this is a well balanced article addressing the criticisms coming from the hardcore country purist camp, some of which are completely over the top, unfair, or ridiculous in my opinion.

I was surprised when Trigger wrote here, Country music isnt a formula, it is a feeling, and Chris Stapleton delivers that feeling in bushel baskets. From my limited exposure to Traveler, I didnt get the feeling. Trigger He makes great music. When you play devils advocate, which is what I tried to do in this article, it can sometimes come across like you believe in something youre actually speculative of. Real Country Music ended with Alan Jackson. There are some songs which, when originally recorded, became instant classics. I dont have a problem with Joe Nichols putting out songs like Yeah, because he does it so that he can cut stuff like Billy Grahams Bible., Chris Gilmore Thats where the good or great stuff just may lie. I get why he had to succumb to the Nashville songwriting machine to get his spurs in the door, but now that he has become a breakout star, theres no incentive for him to continue resorting to that. November 11, 2015 @ That was 25 years ago. Education Chris is an alumnus of the Johnson Central High School. Big Cat For every person I have seen saying Chris Stapleton is a country music savior, Ive seen 20 complaining about it, and then using that fact that some people are calling him a savior to tear his music apart.

Bill Goodman 13 years in the writing, the tracks on Traveller possess choruses as effortlessly infectious as anything Stapleton has gifted to high profile clients like Adele and Luke Bryan but there's a fascinating desperation to the themes here. To be able to go in there and cut all of these songs live is the reason Traveller resonated with so many people like it has. I am just curious about the future. I think Stapletons best days in terms of quality have yet to come. I read an interview where Stapleton said the light bulb went on when he heard Metamodern, that he didnt even know an album could sound like that. 8:46 am. 7:16 pm.
