Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake deliver a powerful live medley of Tennessee Whiskey and Drink You Away at the CMA Awards 2015, blending country soul and contemporary R&B in a moment that quickly became one of the night’s standout performances. The stripped-back arrangement foregrounds raw, emotional vocals and tight harmonies, letting Stapleton’s gritty, soulful tone and Timberlake’s smoother timbre complement each other while the band maintains a slow, smoky groove.

Visually the performance is intimate and focused: minimal choreography, warm stage lighting, and concentrated camera work put the emphasis squarely on the singers and their musical chemistry. The interplay between Stapleton and Timberlake—trading lines, overlapping harmonies and trading the spotlight—creates a narrative arc that builds from restrained intimacy to a stirring climax, earning sustained applause and a strong audience reaction.

Musically, the medley showcases musicianship and tasteful arrangement choices that respect both songs’ emotional cores while forging a cohesive hybrid. The cover-like delivery of Tennessee Whiskey highlights country-soul phrasing, while the incorporation of Drink You Away adds a contemporary edge, making the performance appealing to fans across genres.

The CMA Awards 2015 appearance elevated the visibility of both artists in that moment, reinforcing Chris Stapleton’s reputation as a breakthrough voice in modern country and underscoring Justin Timberlake’s versatility as a live collaborator. The performance’s viral reach after the show helped introduce new listeners to the songs and remains a frequently cited example of a cross-genre collaboration done with authenticity and vocal power.
