Lori shared it. I can’t let it go. A cover of Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey.”
And a Youtube comment from J. Scott Hamilton that followed: “your voice tells us you’re a great singer. Your daughter’s smile tells us you’re a better dad.”
I can't sleep…

Tennessee Whiskey is a favorite. But this is PRECIOUS. Thank you Lori, and DK.
So loved this…(and thing I watched and listened to it 10x and counting…)
I can listen to Tennessee Whiskey over and over and over, and over one more time.
Loved this.
Me too. And to think I had just been introduced to the tune last week. And it was originally recorded in 1981 and covered by Stapleton in 2015. Where have I been?
Yes, where have you been?
I can’t remember the first time I heard it. I know I was driving, and it was near dusk, and I was alone.
And still does the same thing to me every time!
I can imagine!
I just LOVELOVELOVE this. He killed this cover (really David, just last week?). But that dad/daughter bond is priceless.
Happy Sunday, DK.
So agree Roseanne! You too…
Wonderful share!
I love how he throws it into park at the end—like a final *bang* on the guitar.
Yes. Well described. Loved that too.

So well described Sandy. Yes….
I absolutely love this song, too. When I saw this on FB a while back, I, too, was amazed. This dad’s take is fantastic. And the daughter? Love the way she looks at him. Beautiful bond.
And wow that you just discovered it last week. 🙂
So so agree!
So glad that you enjoyed this as much as me, pal. I’m in the 10+ club on views myself. Absolutely enchanted by this young girl’s adoration of her dad and by the way Papa throws himself into the song heart and soul. One of those tunes that just moves me….
Thank you Lori, haven’t stopped playing this. One of my favorite songs, his tenderness is so Aaron Neville. You made my day.
Aaron Neville, that’s it, Sawsan! Another one of my favorites. And so happy that you’re enjoying this video as much as I have these past few days. Have a great day! 💕
💕
Yes!
At the beginning of the song I thought it was going to be Van Morrison singing. Similar voice quality.
Agree!
As delightful as when I first saw this last year or in 2017…
Guys; I had to take a (not so) quick crash course on Whiskey, Chris Stapleton, dad & daughter relationship and I’m well and truly sorry to say, that all this did to me was me thinking of those times, when I, young, innocent, enthusiastically, came to Canada (Traaaana) and got drawn in to the music of Chris Kristofferson. My then husband saved up what little money we had to buy his long play vinyl’s…. I love the video but mostly in admiration of dad’s great voice and especially his girl’s adoration of her daddy. I also listened to a few versions of the Tennessee Whiskey song – which made me long for a glass of Bordeaux! 😉 Thanks to Lori for feeding the idea to Dave; there IS a community spirit here which is simply lovely. Have all a great rest of this rather peaceful Sunday.
Thanks for the background!
Nice
thanks, dk. I’ve never heard this song before either, but I love it!
Where have we been Beth?!?! 😄
such a good question, dk. I wonder what else is out there that we are unaware of? )
Oh God. That list is long.
Perhaps I’m old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied.
