I like things that don't sound particularly processed or mechanical or made by machines. I like music that contains human elements, with all their flaws. There's air in it, and you can hear a room of a bunch of guys playing. Those are the magic parts. Chris Stapleton airbunchelement share on social

I think the path is different for everybody. Go after the doors that are open to you. That has always been my motto getting into the music business. Do the things that seem to be good opportunities and work hard at it. Try to make good decisions and be nice. Hopefully all of that will pay off at some point.

I never was a liner note junkie. I didn't know who produced records or there was such a thing as a straight songwriter. I always assumed that everybody that was singing a song wrote it or made it up. Chris Stapleton assumejunkieliner Change image and share on social
It is a really interesting to hear yourself on the radio. I've gotten to hear myself in different capacities. I've heard myself on Sirius XM on the bluegrass channels, and on WSM and other places. Chris Stapleton bluegrasscapacitychannel Change image and share on social
I'm always trying to do as many different things as I can, just so when one is not doing so hot, maybe the other is still there. Chris Stapleton hotthing Change image and share on social
