Chris Stapleton’s Contributes to Metallica Charity Album with “Nothing Else Matters”

For the people that say Chris Stapleton can sing anything – here’s another example of them being right!

Chris is one of the many artists who added their vocals to the charity album The Metallica Blacklist.

The profits for Chris’ contribution to the project will be split 50/50 between Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation and Outlaw State of Kind – which is Chris and Morgane Stapleton’s charitable fund that supports a variety of causes that are close to their heart. The Outlaw State of Kind Fund was founded in 2016 and is administered by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Chris along with 52 other artists – including Darius Rucker, Jon Pardi & Miley Cyrus – contributed to the charity album, The Metallica Blacklist which features each musical act giving their own special twist to the music of Metallica‘s classic Black album – for Chris, his track is an amazing reworking of the song “Nothing Else Matters” which you can hear here…

Chris is also climbing the country music chart with his current single “You Should Probably Leave”…
