I like it, Sal. Sounds raw and basic. That's pretty much how Stapleton does a song. Some songs and people are best just alone with sparse instrumentation. I'd hate to see you or Stapleton go "new country."....lol

Super song.Wonderful performance Sal.Guitar was really fine with some nice nuances.Something very satisfying in singing these songs.The guy is a very good writer.I think Mr Walker was first to push his barrow here.

Really sweet. I like your job on the choruses. Hard to sing and you nailed them. You've got a pretty convincing country accent too! I've just been strumming to a Tim McGraw song that I like , and it's fun to throw that country accent on, for someone like me who's really not from the country.

This song and Chris have both been getting a lot of talk recently with the release of his new album, and it is understandable. The embedded video below is my first experience with this song. I didn't realize that Jason didn't write it. I'm out of touch with the Nashville scene so Chris Stapleton wasn't on my radar when I first heard this song in early 2014. Thanks to everyone for exposing me to this new artist and not so new songwriter.

 

Excellent version you have going here Sal. I really enjoyed giving it a listen or 12, maybe more. I may have lost count. I have ambitions of learning this as well and may well share that with the community when I do. Until then, have a listen to the first version of the song I was exposed to. I think you will find some similarities with Stapleton's version.

What a very nice cover. Been working on it lately, and i wish i could sing it as nice as you do. Not being english speaker probably does not help either.

I like the way you strum chords as well throughout the song, it reminds the original while keeping your own touch to it.

 

If i may suggest, at the end, for the 2 last "That's the difference between whiskey and you", i think Chris uses chords are D, A, Bm, A, G for the 1st one, and then he resumes the usual D, A, D for the 2nd one.

I like this rotation as it calls the end of the song.
