Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton sang a mixture of ‘Tennessee Whiskey’ and ‘Drink You Away

The 2015 Country Music Association Awards (CMAs) were held in Nashville, Tennessee and featured a range of talented musicians and performers. However, it was the unexpected collaboration between Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton that stole the show.

The two artists took to the stage to perform a medley of “Tennessee Whiskey” and “Drink You Away,” and the result was a stunning fusion of country and pop music that had the audience on their feet.

“Tennessee Whiskey” is a classic country song originally recorded by George Jones in 1983, while “Drink You Away” is a more modern track from Timberlake’s album “The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2.” Despite the difference in style and era, the two songs blended together seamlessly in the hands of these talented musicians.

Stapleton’s soulful voice and acoustic guitar playing provided the perfect counterpoint to Timberlake’s smooth vocals and energetic stage presence. The two seemed to feed off each other’s energy, creating an electric atmosphere that left the audience cheering for more.

The performance was particularly significant for Stapleton, who had recently won three awards at the CMAs, including Best New Artist and Album of the Year for his debut album “Traveller.” His collaboration with Timberlake helped to introduce him to a broader audience and cemented his place as one of the rising stars of country music.

For Timberlake, the performance was a departure from his usual pop and R&B sound, but it demonstrated his versatility as an artist and his willingness to push boundaries and explore new genres.

Overall, Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton’s performance at the 2015 CMAs was a highlight of the event and a testament to the power of music to bring people together and create something truly special. It was a moment that will be remembered for years to come by fans of both country and pop music alike.
