Sounds | Chris Stapleton - Bad As I Used To be


Chris Stapleton schreef Bad As I Used To Be voor de film F1® THE MOVIE (met o.a. Brad Pitt). Het begin doet héél sterk denken aan een nummer van The Rolling Stones - ik kom maar niet op de titel - en laat een heerlijke shuffle horen. Stapleton legt er leuke guitar licks en leads op en laat afwerken met wat harmonica. De man zingt hier ook zalig laidback op.

Kentucky-born Chris Stapleton is an 11x Grammy, 19x CMA, and 21x ACM Award-winner and one of the country’s most respected and beloved musicians. In the midst of yet another triumphant year, Stapleton recently won the ACM Award for Male Artist of the Year as well as Best Country Solo Performance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards for his song “It Takes A Woman.” These accomplishments celebrate Stapleton’s album, Higher, which includes breakout songs "White Horse" and "Think I'm In Love With You." Produced by Dave Cobb, Morgane Stapleton and Chris Stapleton, the record landed on several “Best of” lists including Billboard, Esquire, Los Angeles Times, Vulture and Rolling Stone, who praises, “dazzling…the best evidence yet for the way one man’s voice has become synonymous with the very idea of a musical genre.” Additionally, The New Yorker declares, “Stapleton is the rare country star with both traditional bona fides and broad commercial appeal. He has an outlaw soul and a pop star’s capacity for inescapable hooks,” while GQ proclaims, “In an age rife with division, he’s maybe the only thing Americans all agree on.”


Stapleton has recently collaborated with Post Malone (“California Sober”), Dua Lipa (“Think I’m In Love With You (Live from the 59th ACM Awards)”), Slash (“Oh Well”) and George Strait (“Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”), released a version of Tom Petty’s “I Should Have Known It” for the new Tom Petty tribute album and returned to NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” for the third time as musical guest. He also performed the National Anthem at 2023’s Super Bowl LVII and has worked in recent years with Adele, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, P!nk, Sheryl Crow, Santana, and many more.
