Originally released by David Allan Coe, “Tennessee Whiskey” is one of the difficult songs to sing arranged by Chris Stapleton, Country Music Nation reported.
Prior to Phil’s impressive rendition, popular artist Justin Timberlake rocked the song with his own version while he performed at 2015 CMA Awards.
Going back to the first release of the song, it reached number 77 on the Billboard country charts. Later, George Jones recorded his own version of the song in 1983 and it peaked at number two on the charts.
The song was always one of the highlights of any of Jones’s concerts and live performances and it remained so until his death.
