Chris Stapleton is a country western musician, won the CMAs in 2015 and has a few lovely songs but i know not much about him other than he's been
a staple in Nashville long before making the CMAs.
Here's a little article on him: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...-king-20151105
A few paragraphs:
"Stapleton is a Kentucky native who's written a string of Number One hits for other artists, was once in the popular bluegrass group the SteelDrivers, is married to fellow country singer (and chart-topping songwriter) Morgane Hayes, briefly toured the Bible Belt as frontman of southern cock-rock group the Jompson Brothers"
"Stapleton was the lead singer of the SteelDrivers, a blistering gut-bucket-bluegrass quintet founded by some of Nashville's most gifted behind-the-scenes players. Stapleton's supernova voice and timeless lyrics helped make the band a favorite of traditionalists and critics alike"
"In 2010 he founded the Jompson Brothers, a Southern-rock outfit built on barely-veiled sex and drugs references like "Ride My Rocket" and "Secret Weapon.""
"He's a humble guy during his live performances, rarely making a big show of his own ability to skyrocket a melody into the stratosphere."
"his debut as a solo artist, and it encapsulates everything that makes him one of the most powerful and unique voices in country music today: gravelly, soulful and full of songs that ring like instant classics without ever resting too deeply in the past. With a voice like his, that can hit steeple-high notes in one breath and rumble like a twangy Ray Charles the next, he is capable of making most anything sound good"
And a pretty sweet song:
