Chris Stapleton’s Secret Hit with Thomas Rhett | Country Music News
About this episode
The episode discusses Chris Stapleton's co-writing of Thomas Rhett's hit song 'Crash and Burn' and its impact on both artists' careers.
Chris Stapleton, before he became a country legend, co-wrote Thomas Rhett’s breakout hit “Crash and Burn” — a bold, pop-infused love song that defied genre norms and became Rhett’s fourth No. 1. Born from a playful experiment between Stapleton and producer Jesse Frasure, blending “hillbilly” grit with “modern Motown” vibes, the track shocked even Rhett’s own dad — but proved a career-defining moment for both artists. Stapleton, who’d known Rhett since his early days, proudly gave him the green light, proving that unexpected collaborations and creative risks can lead to massive, mutually rewarding success.
