Chris Stapleton may be best known for towering No. 1 hits like “Starting Over” and “White Horse,” but one of his most beloved songs was never actually pushed to radio as an official single. That track is “Whiskey and You,” a raw, heartfelt heartbreak ballad featured on his record-breaking 2015 debut album Traveller.
Lainey Wilson recently covered the track, sharing an acoustic performance of it on social media as a special token of appreciation for having recently toured with Stapleton. Over the weekend, the “Watermelon Moonshine” hitmaker, 34, wrapped up her opening slot on select dates of the eight-time CMA Male Vocalist of the Year winner’s All-American Road Show Tour.
View this post on Instagram“What a run. ? Nobody can do it like @chrisstapleton, and I got to see it every night of tour,” Wilson captioned her video on Instagram, also sharing her appreciation for Stapleton’s wife, Morgane Stapleton, who sings backup harmonies in her husband’s band. “Thank you, Chris and Morgane for having us along for the ride. ??”

Stripping down the instrumentation, Wilson put a unique, distinctive female spin on the song, pouring raw emotion into its lyrics about coping with heartbreak through alcohol. Those who heard the rendition immediately flooded the comments section of the post to praise Wilson’s acoustic rendition.
“@laineywilson can take a diamond and somehow make it even more beautiful,” one person wrote, while another follower added, “You’ve got to release that. Wow.”

A third fan wrote, “@laineywilson Love you and love it when you sing acoustic songs! ?.”
Co-written by Stapleton and Lee Thomas Miller, “Whiskey and You” boasts a rich history. It was first recorded by Tim McGraw for his ninth studio album, 2007’s Let It Go, though it was never released to radio.
Rock-turned-country artist Aaron Lewis later featured a cover on his 2016 album Sinner.
Despite “Whiskey and You” never becoming a radio single for any of these artists, the song’s emotional weight made it a standout standard in Stapleton’s catalog, earning an Academy of Country Music (ACM) award nomination for Song of the Year in 2018.
