Songs are copyrighted two ways, the lyrics and the music, each hold independent copyrights, even if the same person wrote the music and lyrics. It had become such a fan favorite in the dive bars, his manager talked him into including it on his debut album. Then nothing until Chris released it, but with less twang and more soul. Then 2yrs later in 1983 George Jones released it as a single. Tennessee Whisky was written in 1980 by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove, they offered it to George Straight but he turned it down, but David Allen Coe loved and released it on his 1981 album of the same name. Yes you read that correctly, they covered it, he DID NOT write new lyrics to Etta's song. They covered Tennessee Whiskey but with a more blues/gospel feel to it. What are you talking about? A Nashville backed band? Before 2015 Chris was a song writer for over a decade, he made a living and fed his family writing the music and lyrics for A list country artists, he's credited with close to a dozen #1's and ton more that hit top 20, so why would he need to "rip anyone off"? On the weekends him and his band played local dive bars around Nashville for fun and a few bucks.
