Before most people knew his name, Chris Stapleton was writing hit songs for others. He moved to Nashville back in 2001 and quietly became a powerhouse writer. He wrote “Love’s Gonna Make It Alright” specifically for George Strait. It is amazing to see the man who wrote the song sing it himself at a small songwriter event.
In this simple showcase, you see the songwriter, not just the superstar. It is just his voice and a guitar, sharing the story behind the tune. He was known for this raw, soulful style even then. Other artists knew he was one of the best singers long before the world caught on. This performance shows exactly why.
