He may stray from the country image with his lack of a cowboy hat and boots, but one young man floored his viewers when his performance of a Hank Williams Jr. classic landed the man with the recognition he clearly deserved. Chris Taylor of McIntyre, Georgia covered the song “Blues Man” and kicked off his performance with a coy wink to the camera.

He jumped straight into his performance with owerhouse vocals and raw emotion. His voice caressed each lyric as he sang, “So I started drinkin’, took some things that messed up my thinkin’/ I was sure sinkin’ when she came along/ I was alone in the spot light, not too much left in sight/ She changed all that one night when she sang me this song.”

Viewers were mesmerized by Taylor’s talent, some even commenting that his performance is one of the best they’ve experienced. Seeing the numerous song recommendations and countless comments of praise, it’s safe to say this young man will go far!
