Chris Stapleton’s rendition of “Tennessee Whiskey” during his 2017 Austin City Limits performance stands as a defining moment in his career, showcasing his raw vocal power and deep, soulful emotion. Originally recorded by David Allan Coe and later popularized by George Jones, Stapleton reimagined the song with a bold, blues-infused style, blending his deep country roots with a bluesy edge that made it uniquely his own. The performance captivated the audience from the first slow, sultry guitar lick, with Stapleton’s gritty and yearning voice filling the venue with the raw emotion of the lyrics. His wife, Morgane Stapleton, joined him on stage, adding harmonious depth to the performance. This rendition not only honored the original but redefined it for a new generation, cementing Stapleton’s place in modern music.
