Chris Stapleton's sensational voice has been sweeping the country since the release of his 2015 album Traveller and isn't stopping any time soon. He's been gaining fans left and right for his raw talent and smooth vocals, which exude a classic country feel (with a healthy dose of soul added in). Don't get me wrong, there's some serious talent in country music right now, but Stapleton's music is the prime example of what amazing music sounds like today.

Stapleton's wife, Morgane, is also an incredibly talented singer. The talented duo performed a beautiful duet at the Grand Ole Opry in 2017 which brought on roaring cheers from the crowd. The couple sang "Amanda", a song made popular by both Don Williams (1973) and Waylon Jennings (1974). "Amanda" was written by Bob McDill. (not to be confused with Boston's Third Stage song written by Tom Scholz with the same name).
Williams original rendition hit number 33 on the billboard hot country singles chart. The country classic was Jennings eighth number one on the hot country singles charts from his album, The Ramblin' Man. Unlike" I'm a Ramblin' Man", the Amanda song was not released as a single, but it was still one of his biggest country hits. Which is probably why it earned a place on the Texas native's greatest hits album.
