    it's amazing he is playing venues as big as they are with only 1 cd out(right?) i'm shocked there are that many people who know about him. obviously the CMA's were swooning over him a year or two ago and he's been writing/playing for a long time but how is he headlining these shows with only 1cd out? has anyone seen him headline a show yet? just curious. im gonna go for GA pit tickets...hopefully the presale works.

    not a fan of his presale "single barrel" and "small batch"
    i just can't justify those prices having not seen him ever play live.
    not even sure i can justify paying over $60 for a up close ga pit ticket when those go on sale...maybe the lawns is where we'll be :(

    Ditto here. I'd really like to see him play but can't justify the VIP prices. I had a pair of ~$30 fan club seats in my cart but they were located waaaay on the outskirts of town. Hoping to be able to snag decent seats during the public on sale.

    Any thoughts on From a Room Vol 2? I have it digitally but haven't gotten to listen yet. Love Traveler and Vol 1. Any word on Vol 2 vinyl as well? I saw a few places that Vol 1 was a quality vinyl, but have read multiple review that Traveler is awful, which sucks because it is a great album.

    I hope Traveler gets a quality pressing at some point.

    I love Traveler and the vinyl sounds fine to me. Not a fan of Vol. 1, as it just sounds like a weaker rehash of Traveler. Haven't even bothered with 2 yet. Maybe I need to give 1 some more spins.

    Traveler is my least favorite of the three, but I think it sounds fine. I own all three on vinyl. Vol 1 is my favorite, but Vol 2 is quickly getting up there.

    Saw him open for the legendary Tom Petty at Wrigley Field and he kind of stole the show.  I'm not a big fan of country music but I am hooked on all 3 of his albums.  Great live act too.

    I heard the same thing from a friend who went to that show.

    I was there too and I agree. I'm not a fan of country overall either, but I do like Chris Stapleton and seeing him live was an absolute treat. I wouldn't mind going to one of his headlining shows.

    I just got and listened to Vol 1 on vinyl and it is fantastic. It has a very subtle warp that doesn't impact playback. It is dead quiet, as it needed to be for a couple tracks in particular. Sound is full with his vocals up front and clear. Very happy with this. I got Vol 2 as well and will update when I can listen.

    Still not sure if it is worth getting Traveller after some reviews I've read on the pressing

    Vol 2 vinyl sounded similar, seems to be recorded well, but this one was very dirty and had a lot of surface noise. It needs a good cleaning and I'll try again.

    it's worth the price if you're a fan. He doesn't disappoint.

    He's playing right here in my town this summer so it was a no brainer for me. I already liked most of his studio work (and I'm far from a country fan), but seeing him open for Tom Petty at Wrigley last year sealed the deal and I just knew I had to see one of his headlining shows.
