This Justin Timberlake–Chris Stapleton Duet From the CMAs Is Very Special

The 2015 Country Music Awards proved to be a successful night for Chris Stapleton, as he claimed kudos for best new artist of the year, album of the year, and male vocalist of the year (you can see all the winners here). Yep, all that, and he made everybody absolutely lose their marbles Wednesday night by appearing onstage with his wife, Morgane, and Justin Timberlake, to perform joint covers of George Jones’s “Tennessee Whiskey†and Timberlake’s own “Drink You Awayâ€:

Rolling Stone points out this wasn’t Timberlake’s first rodeo at the CMAs, but it was definitely a more memorable one — he’s really good at the whole duet-cover thing — as his falsetto meshed with the Stapletons’ powerful pipes and harmonies in that special way that only John C. Reilly can describe. Note to all of them: More, please.
