Chris Stapleton | Oct 24

In 1985 George Jones had a top-five hit, a hand wringer of a song that lamented the passing of Nashville’s old guard called, “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes?” It’s fun to imagine 9-year-old Chris Stapleton riding around in his father’s car in Fayette County, Kentucky, with that song on the AM radio. Fast forward to 2019 and, together with his fellow-Kentuckian Sturgill Simpson, Stapleton gets credit for taking country music back to the future. Everyone wants a piece of him. Kenny Chesney, Adele, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley have all recorded Stapleton songs. He has pop song power, too. He co-wrote “I Just Remembered That I Didn’t Care” with John Mayer earlier this month, just one day before they debuted it at a Nashville arena show. With The Brothers Osborne, Kendell Marvel.
