Say what you want about Sam Hunt- but the dude’s got chops! And though he definitely isn’t the most traditional Country sounding guy out there on the scene in 2016 (by a long stretch) he clearly still has an appreciation for the genre. Check him out singing Waylon Jennings “Belle of the Ball” at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville below.

Things are going just fine for Sam (who will be in Alberta this August-long weekend at Big Valley Jamboree ) -he’s even been romantically linked with Kaley Cuoco of The Big Bang Theory.
