Zach Top Delivers Stellar Cover Of Chris Stapleton’s “Nobody To Blame”

Covering a Chris Stapleton song is a dangerous game.

For one, you have to be pretty confident in your abilities to sing a song that the golden voice of Stapleton originally belted out. And two, you have to attempt to sing it with some originality so that you aren’t doing a Chris Stapleton impression – because there’s really no point in doing that.

All that being said, Zach Top absolutely nailed this “Nobody to Blame” cover.

The young and quickly rising country music star is already being credited for saving country music. Top – born in 1997 – is literally and seemingly spiritually straight out of the ’90s. He’s reviving the classic country sound, and needless to say, people are loving everything about it.

Zach is quickly becoming a must-see country music act, and it’s thank to performances like these that his popularity and aura are growing every single day. “Nobody to Blame” is a vocal showcase for Chris Stapleton when he sings it, and Top could have easily been intimidated by the track.

Instead, he stepped up on stage in Paris, Illinois and did this:

@countrywestern094 @Zach Top with a fantastic version of Nobody to Blame LIVE in Paris Illinois. When I tell you the whole group was amazing top to bottom. You won’t find any better players and singers. #FYP #foryou #foryoupage #FY #fypシ゚viral #trending ♬ original sound – ROWDY

What a cover. COME ON WITH IT.

The guy is a bona fide country star, and he’s not afraid to show that off by dishing out a Stapleton cover every once in a while. It was so good, in fact, that the TikTok video had people losing their minds over it in the comment section below the post:

“Zach Top could make a whole album of nothing but covers and it would be absolute gold.”

“I like that he’s not trying to sound like him at all. Straight natural, sounds great.”

“Zach Top doing Chris Stapleton is my Super Bowl.”

“The man is single-handedly saving country music.”

“I fear I’m in love.”

Somebody needs to check in on the person who left that last comment…
