Three years ago I had the pleasure and privilege of staying with Paul Elam and his beautiful partner at their home in Roanoke, Virginia, during the first XY Crew Jamboree. We wrecked our lungs with many Cohiba Red Dot cigars (video, 3:02) and he introduced me to Chris Stapleton, a country / bluegrass star I hadn’t previously been aware of.

Stapleton’s most well-known song is probably Tennessee Whiskey (video, 4:53), I think you’ll also enjoy You Were Always On My Mind (video, 3:48) with Willie Nelson.
