Chris Stapleton Has Written Over a Thousand Songs
CHRIS STAPLETON was on the “Today Show”, and they asked how it feels going from being someone who used to just WRITE hit songs, to being the guy out front SINGING those songs.
He said, quote, “Well, it’s a weird thing. I’m not going to lie to you. But it’s a real treat. We’re excited about it and having fun just playing music, like always. There’s just more people and more strange moments just like this.”
The “strange moments” thing is interesting because the interview was going well. That could be his way of saying he IS still getting used to being out front.
Anyway, they also talked about how he’s a prolific writer and asked how many songs he’s written.
He said, quote, “Oh, I don’t know, a thousand plus, somewhere in there. I don’t really know the count. I’d have to ask somebody. Somebody somewhere knows, I think.”
