"If It Hadn't Been For Love" by The SteelDrivers

[rockpaperskizzers]

I have to say, Adele's talented and all, and I'm happy she's spreading good music, but she has NOTHING on the SteelDrivers when it comes to this song.

[feerzinhaM]

Adele brought me here too! She is fantastic!

[afsoloman5000]

Thumbs up if the fucking SteelDrivers brought you here.

[afsoloman5000]

Thumbs up if the fucking SteelDrivers brought you here.

[Brigham007]

I looks like Adele is a big Steeldrivers fan, too. Good on her and good on everyone who got here via her music. Do yourselves a favor and seek out more Steeldrivers tunes. You'll be happy you did.

[InLoveWithAdele21]

Im Glad Adele brought me here.

[SpacSpap]

Lead singer looks like a cross between Mikey Teutul and Shaytard.

[snakeye1000]

dang it been awhile i was looking for this song thanks adele ^_^ much love

[TheBigpoppa39]

Who is managing these guys ?? This is the best video they could put up after they have someone as huge as Adele pushing people to there music ?? This was there chance !!!

[Jakejordanimation]

@TheBigpoppa39 You must be joking.

[bkzjz808]

Adele's version is way better!! Watch it Adele H8RS!!

[kimlauriel]

Thank you Adele! You did a wonderful version of a very good song and now I know Steeldrivers too

[clintspicer]

I went to adele because of this and after hearing this hers is awful nasty.... This is real music!

[69McJesus]

Who knew I would go to the England's Royal Albert Hall to have Adele introduce me to your music back home?

[deepinto134]

beautiful :) great voice !

[JeWeLs895]

I was in Portland seeing my Daughter who lives there ,Got to see Adele in concert. see I'm from Tenn so when she song If It Hadn't Been For Love.talk about some girls getting roudy yay!!!!

[littleh24]

he's ace!

[19daydreamer21]

If it hadn't been for Adele, I would have never checked these guys out...xx

[maiteramosjorge]

Very nice. Thanks to Adele. Amazing band.

[noimportantones]

nice song love it

[matthewdbrooks]

Thnx Adele...

[4everMushu]

Chris Stapleton is the Stevie Ray Vaughan of Bluegrass

[Whiz41]

Man this is really good. Adele brought me here.

[msmaji85]

Adele's DVD brought me here too...but holy shit this is good!!

[vitalwords]

@msmaji85 Im also here cuz of Adele ....... Yup they are awesome but i think Both have done Justice to Darling Lyrics <3 :)

[wildougie101]

Wow the violinist is incredible! What a great performance!

[kimmer6094]

Chris Stapleton is playing with a band called the Jompson Brothers. They are a southern rock band and they are awesome!!

[driesjr]

Quite different compared to Adele's..Cool though!

[rockyhillcrest34]

He looks like Mikey Teutle....great voice!

[MY77camaro1]

@rockyhillcrest34 .... That is too funny 'cause I was thinking the same thing !!!! Chris Stapleton- no longer with the Band... A shame because he does have a great voice and matches the bands sound great....

[rockyhillcrest34]

@MY77camaro1 Really? What a bummer! Is he solo or just behind the scenes?

[isabellaswan0]

Ce n'est pas Adele qui chante s anormalement ???(je n'a aucune culture musicale c'est une question)

[starmingate]

@isabellaswan0 Adele a juste fait une reprise de la chanson

[koolkat83]

Damn and I thought I loved Adele's version... this guy kicks ass!

[juniormci]

Adele ....

[bloodyhell0]

effin A

[goroen123]

Purely amazing..

[msrecordlady]

Another great group my friends introduced me to. Adele does a good cover.  Just shows good songs are good songs.!

[superchaser3]

adele brought me here.

[suzieblue23]

amazing! i heard the adele version first, but immediately when i heard it, i knew it wouldn't have been something she would write. sounded too bluesy for her. and i was right -- boy, am i glad i was right. this is so much better! fantastic!

[tatterbug1000]

@suzieblue23 she did write this. this is her song, but they sang it.

[suzieblue23]

@tatterbug1000 Actually, if you look it up, it wasn't written by Adele, she just covered it. It was written by Michael Henderson and Chris Stapleton (SteelDrivers).

[Kcconrad07]

@tatterbug1000 false

[Jakejordanimation]

@tatterbug1000 Horribly, tremendously, irrevocably false.

[lukeogan]

holy fuck!

[TheOvationceleb]

anyone know the banjo chords for this?!

[okollen80]

Is the lead singer no longer in this band?

[Brigham007]

@okollen80 Unfortunately for Steeldriver fans, the lead singer here (Chris Stapleton) is no longer in the group. I saw them this summer with the new guy. Fortunately, he is a pretty good singer. He sounds pretty similar to Stapleton.

[amari0ser]

@Brigham007 Do you know where Chris is now? I like his vocals better. Can't seem to get any info on him.

[missbaney1]

@amari0ser Chris is with the Jompson Brothers now!

[amari0ser]

@missbaney1 Thanks so much. I just looked them up.

[Phitschy]

great voice!

[sOnmiise]

thanks to adele...this is amazing...i would have never found this song if she wouldn't have covered it...

sorry for my english

[andrewshedden]

Probably one of the strongest lead vocalists I have heard, regardless of genre.

[Luby512]

I didnt even know Adele had to do anything with this song. I heard this for the first time at a Bluegrass festival and bought there CD right then and there i loved it so much.

[JoaquinSerrapio]

i cant express in words.. how epically amazing this is... just wow. This guy has one of the greatest voices i have ever heard.

[oberlepa]

A great song. Well done.

[butterflyrose37]

thanks to Adele I found such a great band. love it!

[antyfreeman2008]

THUMBS UP if Adele brought you here.

[danibeau143]

I'm so glad Adele covered this song or I don't think I would know just how great these guys are. Love this guy's voice and his style. Love the banjo, the mando, and that violin.... yay! Wish this band was still together.

[sithu04]

They sing better than adele but thx adele for letting me know such a g8 band

[pb15424]

Thanks to Bob Lefsetz and Adele for getting me here. Brilliant rendition. Loved it.

[LisV300]

wow! that violin solo gives me chills... absolutely mindblowing!

[katexmarie1213]

WOW... this band is my new addiciton!! <3

[hcwmusic55]

Never seen them live, i had a completely diff image of what they looked like haha, But he has the greatest singing voice probably nationwide...Id kill for his voice!

[biomechdude]

Mikey from Orange County Choppers???

[Skorne13]

Great song, and awesome work by the band, although I am absolutely certain they could've made much better use of that stage.

[mizera221]

I love this Guys omg Adele honey you did them justice i love this song thums up if you feel the same wow

[Imverybored183]

You don't have to love bluegrass to know these guys are good/awesome!

Love The Steeldrivers

[OtherDisasters]

Adele is better. She Rules!!!

[asepbobby]

@OtherDisasters Your not wrong ... her voice is awsome...

[ProfessorCrow]

@OtherDisasters

Oh fuckin' hell, just shut up.

The Steel Driver's wrote this song and made it available to Adele as a cover, and you cunts always have to go about arguing about which is "better" ?

Just shut the fuck up and enjoy the version you like!

Pardon my french, ladies and gentlemen.

[mamacans26]

Absolutely amazing~ <3 I was led here by another artist, and this was captivating~ Instant fan right here!

[2zwaantjes]

Hey!!! You guys are coming to Middlebury VT in two days!!! I'll be in the front row! See ya!

Milli.

[scatmanduNo2]

best part of a violin ever

[vox1uk]

an amazing voice and band...seen them live at the filming of MARTY STUARTS show in 09.blew me away,,,hope they come to the uk soon. by paul jackson  pj_ne@yahoo.co.uk

[ChocolateAndMaxiPads]

i'ma huge fan of adele ..but i love this version ;\

[GHGuitar123]

@ChocolateAndMaxiPads this is the original song not a cover

[ChocolateAndMaxiPads]

@GHGuitar123 i know this.

[KalmanWeinsteinMusic]

Adele is covering this song right now, live.

[ladymercedes007]

love adele's version but i loooove this version for some reason??!

[MsVera18]

Whoa this guy is amazing!

[bnl1989]

Great Song, Check out Youz Guyz cover version of this song. They do a great job.

[arradonlover2]

wow, you guys deserve a bigger audience!

[zekemuffin]

I'm just not sure this band will be nearly as good without Chris. In fact, I think I know the answer to that already. What fantastic musical chemistry this line-up had. A moment of silence for all the songs that could have been...

[Wicked583]

I love Adele's version, but I'm ultimately grateful to her for introducing me to you guys. Your sound is absolutely perfect for this! Amazing vocals and such tight instruments!!

[kompulcrazy]

u guys r awesome! thx Adele for bringing me here!

[cutie12980]

@kompulcrazy She brought me here as well. :)

[kristinebedford]

@kompulcrazy I agree...that's how I got here, by Adele, but I sure like this version too.

[dsim200000]

@kompulcrazy Yeah they are :) Adele's Albert Hall DVD brought me here.

[tabbiemg13]

Im sorry but someone at my job was singing this song. He finally played it from his ipod the other night and i just fell inlove. This man has a great voice.

[droid740]

The fool can sing.

[d00msay3r3]

I know this is an old video but the only thing that would make it better is the singer wearing a "Where's Mikie?" T-Shirt from Orange County Choppers.

[Deepfriedshoe]

He looks like mikey from American Chopper

[JBeat86]

You need to hear Adele sing this! She kills it everytime! Duet maybe?

[DallasValor]

Chris Stapleton* disregard lol

[DallasValor]

what was the former lead singers name? The Mikey from OCC look a like?

[sradie]

I loved Steeldriver from the moment I first heard them and have been looking for additional bands that compare to build my music library . . . nobody has their tightness or edge. Everything else just doesn't quite get to this level for me.

[welderchick85]

Please tour Pacific NW

[gypyjunior]

the singer looks like Mikey from O.C. Choppers

[fngrpikker1]

Their lead singer quit and another guy is with them now...makes me sad!!!!

[CREEDROCKS007]

Steel Drivers rock. Period. End of discussion.

[franky420love]

it would be nice if they came to the Sutton fair in Ontario, Canada !!!!!

[TLAdams55]

My new favorite bluegrass band. Their first two studio albums are great. Just waiting on a third and hope to catch them live in the near future.

[messier1180]

incredible sound, love this guys voice

[RaynardES]

Mind the ignorance, but what particular genre is this? (this is awesome btw)

[CREEDROCKS007]

@RaynardES Its like Bluegrass for the most part but sometimes it can sound like rock with his kind of voice. He can sing.

[baldmunster]

if anyone has seen them live and bought the live album (apparently it was only available at shows) send me a message on here, i would like to offer a trade or something if youd be willing to mail it to me!

[Sarah8Salah]

Adele does a pretty good job of covering this as well!

[decani1000]

@Sarah8Salah No, I'm afraid she doesn't. Not even close.

[KelsiLynBear]

Love this stuff! Their stuff I mean . Any time anywhere!

[thebaldyoldfart]

i love singing, man that was great thank you all

[kgaasch1]

he's got a dirty voice- love it!

[Theyarehere]

Never would have moved to Manchester...

Brilliant song!!

Just hit replay again!

[hicktown55]

[hicktown55]

this is perfection



[hicktown55]

[PhillthyChee]

[popsiclized]

@PhillthyChee apparently he's with a new band. called the jompson brothers band.

[BouLeeBou]

Looove this song!

[danielclower1]

Chris Stapleton from The SteelDrivers has a KILLER new rock project called The Jompson Brothers. Check 'em out.

[bluegrassman776]

[freddfish]

I heard this song at a BG jam last night and had to check out this vid. Great work.

Gotta learn how to play it.

WTH is up with that guy's hat in the very last 3 seconds, back in the crowd?

[stopwishing]

Puttin' the BLUES in Bluegrass! I love it!

[Danalyzedsince1977]

I got to know this song yesterday through the guy who is playing it in the link below. I started adding harmonies, what a great song! Love it ever since! Wanted to let the makers know we played it!

[2zwaantjes]

O MAN!!!!! You guys/girl absolutely ROCK!! (Is that okay to say about bluegrass?). Can I organize a concert of the Steeldrivers with the Dixie Chicks? That's be the ultimate groups together. Pulleeze? ;D

[throwdown00]

[smditto]

Best ever,nuthin compared to it.

[LYNDAFAYE100]

Great fiddle playin' from one fiddle player to another; for another Blue Grass go see "You're Out There Rubbn' Elbows with Your Fine Feathered Friends! YOU GO GIRL!

[drphilsum]

Luv the soul in this guys voice compared to other Blue Grass!!

[timodonohue]

What a performance, great song, great band!

[bigdaddyframer]

This band is one of the best "Grass" bands out today.

[bluegrassman776]

[funwithFred]

I love them!!! They're great!!!!

[mountainman1103]

Mickey from Orange county choppers???? Look a like haha

[Pfiesteria42]

His Voice Is Fricking Awesome.

[slickjilly]

@Pfiesteria42 Ain't it? I'm sick with it too.

[Pfiesteria42]

@slickjilly

It's One Of Those Voices That You Just HAVE To Love.

[huandogofwar]

hairs standing on my arms, i want to have sex with that violin....

[alisonshea915]

@huandogofwar thats no violin....thats a fiddle lol.

[huandogofwar]

@alisonshea915 i stand corrected mam

[RaymondB1971]

The new Steeldrivers cd "RECKLESS" is going to be released Sept. 7th. Chris Stapleton vocals.

[eastcoastpicker]

This video totally captures the festival experience with those special performance moments that are heard and very seldomly are recorded. Nice job here, ROH179. The band is the song, and the song is the band. Luv it!

[JCMizzou1]

It is a shame Chris left the band but I heard them last week with new singer/guitarist Gary Nichols and he's GREAT TOO! He has that soulful bluesy sound like Chris but I liked how he emotes better. (for what it's worth I also think he's a better guitar picker) Don't give up on the Steeldrivers. Worst case, they're as good as before. I think they're better.

[puppies4b]

@JCMizzou1 I agree! Their voices are very similar but I like Gary a little better. I think if everyone gives them a chance with a new singer they will be equally as impressed if not more.

[jetschick80]

Huge shame Chris left this band!....his voice is pure & great ....together they were a fabulous band!

[byroncampbell0327]

Great band and a great venue, Flat Rock is gorgeous, inexpensive, slightly too hippy but it is high up in the mountains with a big lake for swimming. Lebyron

[toddokins87]

This song is amazing!!anybody know where i can get banjo tabs for it???

[bluegrassman776]

chris is leaving the band

[match1071]
