Chris Stapleton and his band perform a quick intro to Freebird and "The Devil Named Music" at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas on August 12, 2016. The crowd was really enjoying this one like I was. Some of this was taken from the screens at the Pavilion but great video of Chris on guitar and finally the drummer Derek Mixon.
The Devil Named Music is the 12th track on Traveller, the debut studio album by American country music artist Chris Stapleton. The album was produced by Dave Cobb and was released on May 5, 2015, through Mercury Nashville. Stapleton wrote or co-wrote all but two of the album's 14 tracks. The album features a blues-influenced cover of David Allan Coe's single "Tennessee Whiskey", and Charlie Daniels' "Was It 26," written by Don Sampson.
Described by music critics as an old-school country, Southern rock record, Traveller received critical acclaim and earned Stapleton several awards. It was named Album of the Year at the 2015 Country Music Association Awards. Furthermore, it received a nomination at the 58th Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and a win for Best Country Album. The song "Traveller" also won Best Country Solo Performance. At the 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards it won Album of the Year, with the song "Nobody to Blame" also winning Song of the Year.

We drove all night to Billings, Montana
Flew into Utah, slept there all day
I can't remember stopping in Denver
Yeah, I live my illusion that somebody needs me to play
And sometimes I'm drunk
And sometimes I'm stoned
And yes, I get tired of being alone
I miss my son
And I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life
Now I sold my soul a long time ago
I put it in a six string and a sad melody
And I'm sometimes a winner, most times a loser
If the crowd gets into it, it'll all feel the same way to me
And sometimes I'm drunk
And sometimes I'm stoned
And yes, I get tired of being alone
I miss my daughter
And I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life
Sometimes I'm drunk
Sometimes I'm stoned
And yes, I get tired of being alone
I miss my son
And I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life
Sometimes I'm drunk
And sometimes I'm stoned
Yes, I get tired of being alone
And I miss my daughter
And I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life
Yeah the devil named music is taking my life
