Saw him last night...generational talent. The dude can do anything he wants vocally. Oddly, the harmonica player was a bad mother too...he was a star from the background, but he has toured with Willie Nelson for over 40 years. Awesome show!!
Chris Stapleton at The Yum Center

I like CS. Heard a lot of his music and like quite a bit. Can't say he's ever really blown me away as a vocalist. Good voice for his music, but I haven't heard him bust out 3+ octave range. Glad it was a good show. I would expect him to be really good live.
He has definitely "found his live voice" the last couple of years. Saw him open For The Eagles last year at ATT and he was very good. He doesn't put on the most "exciting" concert but his music is solid.
That harmonica player that was with him was the one and only Mickey Raphael. Best harp player since Charlie McCoy was laying down tracks years ago. Mickey has no equal. He has been a staple in Willie's band for decades. The show I would like to see come together would be Chris Stapleton, Strugill Simpson and Tyler Childers. 3 Kentucky boys that are gettin' after it and putting out some dang good music.
Yes I've seen Mickey Raphael perform with Willie before and it was awesome. I'm excited to see the show at Kroger Field. Bought the cheapest ticket available because I'm a poor but it's gonna be a great show.
Same with Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson. No way I'm missing that.
