What you got on a recording was pretty much what you were gonna hear when you went to watch \u2019em play and that informs things that I do, you know? You try to keep it as straight ahead as you can and don\u2019t go doing too many things that you can\u2019t show up and play live for the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pFTedYeP-vQ?feature=oembed&amp;wmode=transparent]<\/div>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-564230\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-564230 themify_builder themify_builder_front\">\n<div class=\"themify_builder_row themify_builder_564230_row module_row module_row_0 clearfix gutter-default col_align_top\">\n<div class=\"row_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"row_inner\">\n<div class=\"col-full first tb-column  tb_564230_column module_column_0 module_column\">\n<div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n<div id=\"text-564230-0-0-1\" class=\"module module-text text-564230-0-0-1 photo-credit  \"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"entry-utility entry-utility-below entry-meta\">written by\u00a0<span class=\"entry-author vcard\"><span class=\"entry-author-name\">Jim Casey |TasteOfCountry<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Stapleton Is All About Making a \u201cConnection\u201d With Fans Inspired by the Honesty in Waylon Jennings\u2019 Music It\u2019s no secret Chris Stapleton holds Waylon Jennings in high esteem.
