I've been a fan of Chris Stapleton since early 2015 when I first got my hands on a copy of his debut album "Traveller". I think that Chris Stapleton is one of the best singers not just in country music, but in all genres of music. I think he's proven that by being asked to sing with a ton of other artists other than country artists, including Adele, Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran and a bunch more. I feel like Chris Stapleton could sing any song and make it sound awesome, and I think this video proves it. This video is from Chris Stapleton's tour back in 2017. Malcolm Young one of the founding members of AC/DC had just passed away and Chris wanted to pay tribute, so he performed one of AC/DC's biggest hits "You Shook Me All Night Long" from their 1980 album "Back In Black". Now let me warn you, it doesn't sound like the AC/DC version. It sounds like Chris Stapleton singing an AC/DC song, but in his own way. I really think Chris made this song his own, and I think the guys from AC/DC would be proud. Check out the video and see what you think. Here's the link to the video
