Chris Stapleton teams up with longtime harmonica player Willie Nelson for “Georgia on My Mind” and the results are breathtaking

Breaking News: Chris Stapleton can sing. The eight CMA trophies for Male Vocalist of the Year speak for themselves (and so does Luke Combs’ viral reaction). From original hits like “You Should Rather Leave” to timeless covers like “Tennessee Whiskey,” Stapleton has it all. And when you add Willie Nelson’s legendary harmonica player Mickey Raphael to the 10-time Grammy winner’s velvety vocals, how can you go wrong?

Mickey Raphael shares the stage with Chris Stapleton in the first-ever headlining show

Legendary harmonica player Mickey Raphael has toured with Willie Nelson and The Family since 1973. He has performed with many industry heavyweights including Emmylou Harris, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings. And on Tuesday (December 3), the 73-year-old took center stage at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville for his first-ever headlining show.

As usual, Raphael surrounded himself with tremendous talent, including Jason Isbell, ZZ Top’s Billy F. Gibbons and Amos Lee. The highlight of the evening, however, came when Chris Stapleton joined Raphael on stage to perform a cover of the timeless “Georgia On My Mind.”

The crowd erupted in cheers as soon as Stapleton, 46, sang the first word. That applause came back in full force as Raphael began his harmonica solo.
