Thanks so much to everyone, this version can be purchased here if you’d like / 90-some-chevy-live-single and Spotify/etc in a few days, Enjoy your Labor Day!
This one was recorded the same weekend as Rich Men North of Richmond. Before everything blew up. Crazy to think how much has changed in just a few weeks. I cant thank y'all enough.
This dude just proves we've all been ripped off by "Country Music" for the last 25yrs. A man with a guitar, in the woods, singing about everyday stuff that everyday dudes can relate to. You're 100x more country, authentic and relatable, than ANYTHING out of Trashville, TN. Thank you for turning down the $contracts$. 🙏 Stay grounded brother. 🙏
Anyone with ears has realized modern country is fucking garbage. It's like a pop rap combination now, all the "country" artist wear poka necklaces, earing's, and designer jeans. The genre is an embarrassment
Hope he gets a manager to get the rewards the right way. He got talent and then some. First time I listened to country in a long time and didn’t want to hit the stop button. It hits on a lot of levels and musically it’s sound, you may think you know where it’s going, but he has surprises when it twists and turns… love it, can’t ask for more…
To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life 🥰
I'm a Black 45 year old Hip Hop Head. I liked Rich Men, Get Sober and I like this. I live in the Midwest. I'm a blue collar worker who works 50-60 hrs a week to survive. Somehow his music resonates with me. I can't explain it.. almost like, "He's one of us and I can tell" pours through his music. The struggle sounds real and not just like some written lyrics. I like this guy. A lot.
Being one of "us" is not about the color of our skin. Us is a brotherhood of those with common struggles, common flaws, common likes, common dislikes. Being one of "us" is exactly what the Rich Men North of Richmond can't grasp and frankly couldn't care less about.
@@carbonking53 Sad thing is.. the skin color never even came to mind when I said us 😕. I meant "Hard working, blue collar in the US". He sings for the working class. That's all
@@Bryan-jj1ss Thats how I took your comment. My reply was to add emphasis that we all have struggles and similarities that the rich cant understand. No offense was meant....Peace
Same here, blue collar upstate New York. Its the story of our lives. Trying to just live honestly and decently, but so many things making it so hard. God bless you brother!
Chris is now my favorite artist. His music just makes me feel again and after so long of being lost and numb, I deeply appreciate him sharing his talent with the world!
Wow!!! Wasn't expecting this today! When Oliver Anthony posts a song, you sit down, shut your mouth, and LISTEN, not only with your ears but your heart and soul! ❤
These aren't new songs. They are just recorded on better equipment. He has recorded these songs first on just his iPhone. These are better quality though.
Oliver, I know you will probably never see or read this and I understand! I am 76 years old, farm raised country boy! Went into the military in 1966 and Vietnam in 68! I was honorably discharged in 70! I was pretty much an alcoholic! My mama’s prayers were answered in 71 on her deathbed and The Lord Jesus rescued me and saved my soul and my life! Worked hard in construction until God called me into the ministry for 40 years! I am retired with severe heart problems! Finding you and your music and songs has stirred me in the depths of my soul! I love you young Brother and I am praying for you that God will protect you and use you and your ministry greatly! 🙏❤️👍🇺🇸
Thank you for your service. I remember thinking how bad the world was during the Vietnam “War”. I never thought I would see the things happening now in my lifetime. I feel the time is drawing near when our Faith is going to be the most important thing we have. I have a lot of work to do. ❤️ 🕊️

When I meet my wife I had just purchased a 93 1500 black Z71 Chevy extended cab. Hearing this song takes me back. We have been married 28 years now and still our love grows stronger each day.

The reason that so many non-country fans such as myself are sitting here listening to this guy is because he is a brilliant writer and his soul just oozes out through his music. Another great one!
The mainstream music complex hates this. Because this takes ACTUAL talent. Making the most bland and awful machine produced garbage is what they like. Because it’s way easier and way cheaper. People need to reject that crap.
@@whynotmorewhisky nah, what we are saying is the mainstream country shit that yall dumbasses made famous is what we hate lol. You dont hear shit like this these days
Im 68 and have been into music my whole life. I have never seen a guy come along with such a powerful message, great lyrics and guitar. The fact that he is garnering millions of views and topping the charts shows that he is in tune with how people feel now. This is the 3rd song Ive heard from him and each one is great. His lyrics and timing are amazing, and the fact that he has turned down the big contract and all the glitz shows that he is the real deal.
Im only 16 and honestly im scared for what the Future holds for the new Generation, knowing that the Government only want‘s us for the problems They create themselve. Im new to working and since if got more Into politics They raised the age of retirement twice, where i live….
Buddy for the hardworking backwoods poor folks your our spokesman your songs have brought me to tears on them hard days and gave me what I needed to get up and do it again keep on keeping on
@@deanna8217 I believe his name is Chris his father or grandfather’s name is Oliver. but he’s fine with being called Oliver since he choose it as his musician’s name
No Oliver Anthony is his grandfather's name. His name is Chris. He does not care if people call him by his grandfather's name. He even calls his music Oliver Anthony music in honor of his grandfather.@@deanna8217
Pancakes sauce and peanut butter crème, this dude knows what is up and his lyrics are a dream. Goats are dancing and the lamb is rejoicing. People respecting all that is told. The lyrics are amazing. The tune is phenomenal. Get it boy, get it.
This man is insanely amazing at what he does. He is so humble as well. I'm so glad he finally took off and he deserves all the success that he is getting. Thank you Oliver Anthony for wverything.your doing.
What a stark difference between this (real music) and the nonstop fake beat “tick tick tick tick tick. Clap clap. Tick tick” mumble rap that is shoved down our throats constantly
Stay true to yourself brother! You are absolutely one of the most passionate and genuine artists we have seen in a generation. Thank you for sharing your heart Oliver, don't change!
I do not listen to the country genre at all, but i can not get enough of Oliver Anthony's music. True country music in my opinion. KEEP SINGING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY LIVING LIFE
they shall witness at the mention of your last name, Lord Baphomet, the peasants and lamb shall tremble, you the merciless shall bring the endless misery and turmoil to this rotten world 🙏🏼🔥
Not a big country/folk music fan, despite living my whole life in Tennessee, but you, sir, have joined Chris Stapleton in winning me over through your soul filled music. 💁🏻♀️💕
Wow. This man knows how to sing the basics of life of so many of us. Even those that have found themselves stuck in suburbia and few in a city. We didn't start there but,.. found ourselves there somehow. Some of us still hold onto those treasures and head out just like this man describes. Blessings. Mr. Anthony,.. you're dropping pearls from heaven good sir. Thank you so much for sharing your music, lyrics, culture, humanity and Lord's word.
The music industry hates him. They want to keep pumping out the most bland and basic “I got my beer on a Sunday night and we kissed…” crap. They can mass produce that very cheaply. This actually takes talent here
@@strategery101 You are so right. This man is as genuine as it gets and won't be destroyed by the industry by choice! Thank God he has that wisdom along with his talent!
Your music is Beautiful and iits helping me withing the passing of my daddy a month ago....that event killed my soul!!! I keep on livein for moms sake!!! thank you oliver Anthony for bringing back to jesus christ!!!!
This man is a just a American treasure, im from new york city...I grew up on hip hop and r&b. Now other then Johnny Cash I never really liked country...but this man right here got me walking through Brooklyn loving this mans soulful voice and his pure Energy. God bless this man
This song will be on my playlist this fall while I'm sitting outside at the firepit, watching the deer and the hummingbirds and having a drink with friends.
Oliver Anthony makes music that heals the soul. His lyrics are as deep as it gets. I’m so glad a normal guy out in the sticks is making history. Land, Dogs and music ❤️
He makes music that panders to the masses….if that’s what you mean…you fell for it hook line and sinker …he’s just another millionaire singing about poor people problems
@@isaacbejjani5116 look up his net worth. He’s worth between 1.5 and 2 mil according to American songwriter. They tend to have more information than you do.
If we're talking real math and not common core math, you're telling on your age a little bit there. Such musicians are a rarity for sure. Long as he stays true and stays out of the mainstream industry of it, he'll be able to sing anything he feels compelled to w/o some label telling him what is "acceptable" or not.
DUDE! You went from 50 followers to 740K in a month. It takes folks years to get there. Your music is resonating with many of us. Keep Jesus #1 and stay true to your music craft and artistry.
NOBODY should try to touch this man's voice. He's had no vocal lessons and still he sounds like life itself. Please don't change, don't try to be more technical or anything. Just keep being yourself ❤
I agree. I don't see where a "band" would make him any better than he is. It's more than country. It's folk, soul .. Johny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings
Thank you Oliver Anthony, for your Grandson Christopher who has single handedly brought back REAL COUNTRY MUSIC, your 1 in a million young man 1 in a million, Bless-ed is the man who sings his heart out honestly, Sincerely, a Granny, Ky.
During this BS going on in this country right now... This man has given me hope more than I've had in quite awhile!!! Bless your heart and soul my brother!!! ❤❤❤
I’m crying so hard… his voice and words are like what I believe we all know how America should feel instead of what we’re being told it is.. this is music…
One can also not turn down money in today's world / economy. He needs to make a living like everyone else. I just hope he does it in a way the industry doesn't change his message passion and sound. Like it or not you have to have money to survive and so does he.
@silencedones4421 and who are you to judge. Maybe you are the one that needs to find God. Before you point fingers at me or anyone clean your own life up start by learning judging anyone especially someone you don't know definitely isn't Christian or Godly in any way shape or form. Anybody that sees this please pray this person can truly find God and understand the word. Bless your little heart though.
@@T.W.PerrySr. one who walks the way and know MY GOD and know MY GOD does not work how you speak of your god. It's time to stop listening to the DEAD. WE ARE HERE AND WATCHING EVERYTHING. just the way you speak reveals your heart.
After 3 kids and 19 years together, goodness does this song just make my mind wonder into our history together!! ❤ Thank you for this wonderful song!!!
Being raised in the deep south by a Granny who worked her fingers to the bone in a sewing factory just to barely afford food, clothes, and keep the lights on, I've found this music resonates with a place in my soul that I haven't been in touch with for a long while. I'm grateful that this young man is finding success by being who he authentically seems to be, speaking to a place in all of us that we may not even know is there. It was a joy to hear him on Rogan, and learn more about who he is and why he feels compelled to tell the story of those of us who quite often go without our story told.
@EdricHumble It got pretty rough, lots of folks lost their homes and vehicles with all the downed trees. I couldn't be more grateful that all I had to do was cut and move some big limbs in the yard that thankfully didn't get near the house. At this point, my kids and I have just been going around looking for folks who need help cutting and moving trees, and trying to spread the word about families we're hearing about who lost everything. The only real fortunate thing about events like this, is that it seems to bring out the best in good people. I wish communities rallied and looked out for one other on that scale all the time, but for the most part neighbors tend to take care of neighbors around here. Everybody's keeping their fingers crossed that this will be the worst of hurricane season this year. Thank you for caring enough to ask!
@@kendralawrence4246 Sorry about that, but you just have to take care of yourself okay, I'm Edric humble I'm from Florida but currently in France for vacation but I will be back in one week time,so where are you from originally?
Why am I sitting here in my car whipping away tears after listening to this song for the third time in a row? Because it's a real song about real emotions that millions of us can relate to, not the contrived junk we've been fed for years. I almost forgot what real musical food tastes like. This is sweet.
The timber in your voice is out of this world. The human you are is like a tidal wave over this planet. We all love you. Unreal lyrics, music, voice and testimony.
What a fresh breath of air, I'm totally in love, I was born in the 60's all the men in my family played guitars and sang. You literally take me back to my childhood .My daddy was on the radio singing muddy waters,I'd loved to hear you sing it ❤love ya, kid may God continue to bless you ❤
Ahhhhh, back to a simpler time before the phones, internet, and all today's distractions. A time of going out in nature and spending time with the one you love, laughing, talking and just enjoying each other's company. The most human thing we can do. Amen Chris, great song.
they shall witness at the mention of your last name, Lord Baphomet, the peasants and lamb shall tremble, you the merciless shall bring the endless misery and turmoil to this rotten world 🙏🏼🔥
This Guy stumbled back quite a few years and done it right, ever wonder what real Country music sounded like back in the day...Every word that comes out of his mouth. Good to hear a song do what it's supposed to do, tell a good old story😉 THANK YOU!
Never sell out Oliver because we got yah !!! Sixty year old Canadian and still got my ninety something Chevy and you're hittin my strings !!! Love it!!! Huge respect from up North !!!
❤️ My husband and I (especially him who's Abt to be 50yr old😋) absolutely loves your music, Mr.Chris, and how much you express real true emotions and feelings as you sing n perform... Right by yourself in the middle of the backwoods (which is exactly like the place we're located; very rural). You're an true man of God and such an inspiration to His people. Your talents has really woke up this world and those who can relate (which is nearly the entire world's population!😂) to everyone's life struggles... God's sending a message through you Mr. Sir and it's gotten our attention through and through. We're listening, Lord God, and Thank You for giving us the opportunity to be awoken by this incredible young talented American child of God! Bless you Oliver Anthony because you deserve it for having the balls to spread the Goodness of God's love and sending out His message! HE'S COMING BACK AND THIS PROVES HE IS THE ONE N ONLY WAY, TRUTH, AND LIGHT! WAKE UP WORLD.... HIS MESSENGER IS TRYING TO TELL US ALL SOMETHING.... something GREATER THAN WE'VE EVER KNOWN OR SEEN BEFORE! We're blessed to have this beautiful soul love us enough to spread God's Word and His Love! 😚💖😘
OH MY…..Brittany what a super great and wonderful comment. Thank you for sharing your respect and the praise that you are giving this God sent musician, Chris. His Oliver Anthony music makes our hearts sing. I am a 77 year old grandma, and I am with you in your appreciation that this talented young man encourages others to open their Bible and read.

When I was a kid in the 80s in Louisiana my grandpa use to wake me up for school every morning with Hank #1, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings. This takes me right back there and I can’t thank you enough for reminding me my friend. What I would give to hear you cover Hanks “I’ll never get out of this world alive” or “Lost Highway”. Thank again my friend and God bless.
@@4seth you sound like a chronic malcontent. It's country folk, blues, bluegrass, outlaw country whatever common Americans call it. "Country" music at its core, is relatable to the everyday, hard scrabble, forgotten American. It's lyrics & tone, are our story.
There is nothing better (in my opinion) than the sound of southern picking, I don't care if it is blues, rock, folk or metal, those boys down there are my favorite pickers of all time. My soul is delighted with this music, and it is even better because it is pure and medicinal, like music is meant to be created and shared.
Wow, his voice is just getting better and better. I love this version of his voice, it’s easier for me to hear the timber and richness of his vocals now. His singing voice (non-shouting/wailing) while “Rich Men in Richmond” is definitely a great song, sung with a lot of anguish and with his heart, his vocals truly shine in this song here, I like it! I’m not a huge country or folk type music fan because I enjoy rock music and R&B the most but this man’s voice and what he sings about is a true force of goodness and it’s real, no pretense, no ego, just what the good lord has given him, a beautiful voice to share with all of us, heaven sent.
I dont know if i would disrespect Oliver Anthony Music by caling this a BANGER. this is pure music couple cords on the ole guitar and his voice and a message. Great song! maybe try to use real words to describe it please and show it the respect it deserves.

I hate country but this isn't country it's soul music .
Roger that
That's me!
The mainstream music complex hates this. Because this takes ACTUAL talent. Making the most bland and awful machine produced garbage is what they like. Because it’s way easier and way cheaper. People need to reject that crap.
I'm not a country fan in any way shape or form, but this dude has some kinda talent making me a believer. Lyrics are straight from the heart.
There’s still lots of great country but ya won’t hear it on the radio
When people say this, what they’re really saying is they don’t know anything about country music.
Guy, the lyrics are about driving to drinking spot and getting laid in an old truck. I don't get it, is that original to country music?
They call it country music for a reason.
IT'S ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE!
Welcome home American!
@@whynotmorewhisky nah, what we are saying is the mainstream country shit that yall dumbasses made famous is what we hate lol. You dont hear shit like this these days
Im 68 and have been into music my whole life. I have never seen a guy come along with such a powerful message, great lyrics and guitar. The fact that he is garnering millions of views and topping the charts shows that he is in tune with how people feel now. This is the 3rd song Ive heard from him and each one is great. His lyrics and timing are amazing, and the fact that he has turned down the big contract and all the glitz shows that he is the real deal.
Im only 16 and honestly im scared for what the Future holds for the new Generation, knowing that the Government only want‘s us for the problems They create themselve. Im new to working and since if got more Into politics They raised the age of retirement twice, where i live….
69 years old & same experience- reminds me of Woody Guthrie!!!! Powerful,
Buddy for the hardworking backwoods poor folks your our spokesman your songs have brought me to tears on them hard days and gave me what I needed to get up and do it again keep on keeping on
Your music has touched so many lives around the world we thank you Who else thinks that this is going to be another classic??
ME!!!!!
ME!!
ME!!!!
ME!!!!!! (#metoo lol)
This is one of his older songs 😊 if you haven't scrolled through his channel, do so. There's so many great ones.
My local country radio station is playing Chris' music for everyone to enjoy!! This is such a sweet song, lot's of heart. 💕💕💕💕
Who's Chris?
The guy singing the song@@deanna8217
@@telephonerock It was my understand that his name is Oliver.
@@deanna8217 I believe his name is Chris his father or grandfather’s name is Oliver. but he’s fine with being called Oliver since he choose it as his musician’s name
No Oliver Anthony is his grandfather's name. His name is Chris. He does not care if people call him by his grandfather's name. He even calls his music Oliver Anthony music in honor of his grandfather.@@deanna8217
This is the most genuine country music I've heard in forever. Grounded, real, and truly relatable.
Pancakes sauce and peanut butter crème, this dude knows what is up and his lyrics are a dream. Goats are dancing and the lamb is rejoicing. People respecting all that is told. The lyrics are amazing. The tune is phenomenal. Get it boy, get it.
I'm not even a country music fan and here I am, listening happily to Oliver Anthony. Beautiful. Thank you.
You are now and it's ok.
its not country music. More Appalachian folk than country
thats because unlike most music made today, this music is coming from this mans heart and you can tell.
This is old style country. Maybe it's current country music you don't like. You aren't alone there.
@ReadKalergiPlan attention-seeking lunatic.
This man is insanely amazing at what he does. He is so humble as well. I'm so glad he finally took off and he deserves all the success that he is getting. Thank you Oliver Anthony for wverything.your doing.
What a stark difference between this (real music) and the nonstop fake beat “tick tick tick tick tick. Clap clap. Tick tick” mumble rap that is shoved down our throats constantly

@@nevertakethejab9389 Lol, Whatever you have to say to make the bad man stop whispering to you I guess.
Stay true to yourself brother! You are absolutely one of the most passionate and genuine artists we have seen in a generation. Thank you for sharing your heart Oliver, don't change!
@@strategery101 Great way to compliment somebody while denigrating others. 🤡
You know the musics good when you add it to your playlist before listening❤
One hundred percent!
That makes no sense... but I think I understand. ✌️
I've had this on my Spotify list since he released it works ago.. I've been listening to all his songs ..on shuffle😊
Nothing Like My Ol' 69 GMC (All Original) .... Gift From The Ol' Man! ✊
I do not listen to the country genre at all, but i can not get enough of Oliver Anthony's music. True country music in my opinion. KEEP SINGING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY LIVING LIFE
Same here. Not a fan of what I thought country was but I could listen to his music all day.
This is REAL country music
Seriously. I'm more of a rock / electro house guy, but man, the soul in his music is legit.
Punk, metal, Metalcore, deathcore, post hardcore......Oliver anthony.
Sounds like you need to start listening to some country
I'm 38 and have always hated country music. Your songs speak to the soul. There is something special about you. Keep spreading God's word.
Buddy I was just thinking the same thing. Not a fan of most country, but dude is excellent.
they shall witness at the mention of your last name, Lord Baphomet, the peasants and lamb shall tremble, you the merciless shall bring the endless misery and turmoil to this rotten world 🙏🏼🔥
Not a big country/folk music fan, despite living my whole life in Tennessee, but you, sir, have joined Chris Stapleton in winning me over through your soul filled music. 💁🏻♀️💕
Yes, I've compared him to Chris Stapleton too. Hoping that country music reverses back to it's roots.
Chris and Oliver is about it for me also👍
Oliver Anthony makes Chris Stapleton sound like Justin Bieber.
@@AGGRESSOR-zz6zdChris Stapleton just has the voice he still sings about heart breaks and drinking everything that is glorified today
🔥 this dude is the real deal. His voice is honey and whiskey and tears!
I'm just so happen to SOLELY drink honey whiskey, and have some tears (here and there) and i think you may be right. Peace
Chicken soup for the country soul 😂
Fuck yeah 😊
Awe FINALLY, real county music again. No political BS, no drama, just good ole country music. ❤❤❤
Dude, I don’t know how you do it but you touch the human soul so easily. I’m a grown ass man with kids and your music brings tears out.
Wow. This man knows how to sing the basics of life of so many of us. Even those that have found themselves stuck in suburbia and few in a city. We didn't start there but,.. found ourselves there somehow. Some of us still hold onto those treasures and head out just like this man describes. Blessings.
Mr. Anthony,.. you're dropping pearls from heaven good sir. Thank you so much for sharing your music, lyrics, culture, humanity and Lord's word.
The music industry hates him. They want to keep pumping out the most bland and basic “I got my beer on a Sunday night and we kissed…” crap. They can mass produce that very cheaply. This actually takes talent here
@@strategery101 You are so right. This man is as genuine as it gets and won't be destroyed by the industry by choice! Thank God he has that wisdom along with his talent!
Your music is Beautiful and iits helping me withing the passing of my daddy a month ago....that event killed my soul!!! I keep on livein for moms sake!!! thank you oliver Anthony for bringing back to jesus christ!!!!
This man is a just a American treasure, im from new york city...I grew up on hip hop and r&b. Now other then Johnny Cash I never really liked country...but this man right here got me walking through Brooklyn loving this mans soulful voice and his pure Energy. God bless this man
It hits us hard because he's playing what we're all living 🙏🤟
This song will be on my playlist this fall while I'm sitting outside at the firepit, watching the deer and the hummingbirds and having a drink with friends.
Wow. Nice!
That'll make 2 of us
cool it with the anti-semitic remarks
This is one of the ones I just keep coming back to. Such a great song. And that's coming from a proud Ford owner. Bless you Oliver
facts
Oliver Anthony makes music that heals the soul. His lyrics are as deep as it gets. I’m so glad a normal guy out in the sticks is making history. Land, Dogs and music ❤️
He makes music that panders to the masses….if that’s what you mean…you fell for it hook line and sinker …he’s just another millionaire singing about poor people problems
Maybe try drinking less fluoride in the future.
@robertpoindexter8616 he hasn't even made a mil yet lol, wtf are you smoking
@@isaacbejjani5116 look up his net worth. He’s worth between 1.5 and 2 mil according to American songwriter. They tend to have more information than you do.
@@robertpoindexter8616u need 2 wake up
I can honestly say, I've NEVER in my 5+ decades of life had an artist where I absolutely loved every single song they created. Thank you, Chris. 😍👌🙏
If we're talking real math and not common core math, you're telling on your age a little bit there. Such musicians are a rarity for sure. Long as he stays true and stays out of the mainstream industry of it, he'll be able to sing anything he feels compelled to w/o some label telling him what is "acceptable" or not.
His real name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford.
These aren't even singles, they're just songs.
@@JadeDragon407 That's right, and I really hope he doesn't sell out to the mainstream. What a treat these songs are.

💪😎☝#FACT

Boy I never get tired of this song and hope I never do
NOBODY should try to touch this man's voice. He's had no vocal lessons and still he sounds like life itself. Please don't change, don't try to be more technical or anything. Just keep being yourself ❤
I agree. I don't see where a "band" would make him any better than he is. It's more than country. It's folk, soul .. Johny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings
@@mel4starsold Bob Dylan too
Go listen to Sierra Ferrell if you like interesting voices. Hers is fantastic, it sounds like an old record player.
Could not agree more buddy! Love it just like it is!
ik, i unsubbed from dax after his crap remix. hate it he just wanna cap on $ while its hot.
Thank you Oliver Anthony, for your Grandson Christopher who has single handedly brought back REAL COUNTRY MUSIC, your 1 in a million young man 1 in a million, Bless-ed is the man who sings his heart out honestly, Sincerely, a Granny, Ky.
I can’t even listen to your songs without cryin’ like a baby(62 year old man!) I’m a Chevy guy too!!😂
Thank you brother!!🙏🇺🇸
I’m glad you said it. I thought it was just me that tears up listening to his music. I’m 60 years old dude and I hardly ever tear up.
I’m 46 and truly great songwriting, voice and guitar playing will make me cry every time!
@@e.t.preppin7084 Same here but I am a gal. Thought it was just me

I was just laughing because I finally got through one of his songs without crying. 😂 My dad is 69 and he loves him too! He's got a Dodge though. 😀
Keep the lord in your heart he who seeks shall find me … my favorite are no weapon against thy shall prosper
As a New Englander, I've never been able to relate to country music as much as I have with Oliver Anthony Music. Ya gotta love it.
I never thought I’d ever hear something original again in country music, you’re a breath of fresh air.
During this BS going on in this country right now... This man has given me hope more than I've had in quite awhile!!! Bless your heart and soul my brother!!! ❤❤❤
I’m crying so hard… his voice and words are like what I believe we all know how America should feel instead of what we’re being told it is.. this is music…
Your voice and message are pure gold. Don't let them give you money to control your message and silence you.
This is a huge test Chris faces today. Pray for him by keeping him accountable to what he speaks.
Only after the fire can one know who they are.
One can also not turn down money in today's world / economy. He needs to make a living like everyone else. I just hope he does it in a way the industry doesn't change his message passion and sound. Like it or not you have to have money to survive and so does he.
@@T.W.PerrySr. You my friend do not know THE LORD GOD.
@silencedones4421 and who are you to judge. Maybe you are the one that needs to find God. Before you point fingers at me or anyone clean your own life up start by learning judging anyone especially someone you don't know definitely isn't Christian or Godly in any way shape or form.

How does every song he comes out with give me goosebumps 🤯
After 3 kids and 19 years together, goodness does this song just make my mind wonder into our history together!! ❤ Thank you for this wonderful song!!!
Being raised in the deep south by a Granny who worked her fingers to the bone in a sewing factory just to barely afford food, clothes, and keep the lights on, I've found this music resonates with a place in my soul that I haven't been in touch with for a long while. I'm grateful that this young man is finding success by being who he authentically seems to be, speaking to a place in all of us that we may not even know is there. It was a joy to hear him on Rogan, and learn more about who he is and why he feels compelled to tell the story of those of us who quite often go without our story told.
Awesome I love this song it makes me feel happy
How is the weather over there??
@EdricHumble It got pretty rough, lots of folks lost their homes and vehicles with all the downed trees. I couldn't be more grateful that all I had to do was cut and move some big limbs in the yard that thankfully didn't get near the house. At this point, my kids and I have just been going around looking for folks who need help cutting and moving trees, and trying to spread the word about families we're hearing about who lost everything. The only real fortunate thing about events like this, is that it seems to bring out the best in good people. I wish communities rallied and looked out for one other on that scale all the time, but for the most part neighbors tend to take care of neighbors around here. Everybody's keeping their fingers crossed that this will be the worst of hurricane season this year. Thank you for caring enough to ask!
@@kendralawrence4246 Sorry about that, but you just have to take care of yourself okay, I'm Edric humble I'm from Florida but currently in France for vacation but I will be back in one week time,so where are you from originally?
Why am I sitting here in my car whipping away tears after listening to this song for the third time in a row? Because it's a real song about real emotions that millions of us can relate to, not the contrived junk we've been fed for years. I almost forgot what real musical food tastes like. This is sweet.
The timber in your voice is out of this world. The human you are is like a tidal wave over this planet. We all love you. Unreal lyrics, music, voice and testimony.

Gosh , This man has stole our hearts, Keep it going Oliver !!
What a fresh breath of air, I'm totally in love, I was born in the 60's all the men in my family played guitars and sang. You literally take me back to my childhood .My daddy was on the radio singing muddy waters,I'd loved to hear you sing it ❤love ya, kid may God continue to bless you ❤
Ahhhhh, back to a simpler time before the phones, internet, and all today's distractions. A time of going out in nature and spending time with the one you love, laughing, talking and just enjoying each other's company. The most human thing we can do. Amen Chris, great song.

As the proud owner of a '94 Chevy I bought in 98, this track hits a chord in my soul ❤🔥
I had a 95 K1500 with a 350 and yes it hits a chord.
I was born in 93 driving a 97 Chevy
Got a 94' Silverado . 5.7 litters with 350 hp . Single cab , two tone paint job . With only 110 thousand miles . Very little rust or body issues . Interior is nearly new , but my stereo stopped working a while ago . 😂
I've had offers to sell . People don't like my asking price . 😂
Hard to part with a truck that's brought you Soo much joy and memories .
93 C2500, rebuilt 350
Obs Chevy trucks were some of the best riding trucks ever!

Thank again my friend and God bless.

@@4seth
@@4seth you sound like a chronic malcontent. It's country folk, blues, bluegrass, outlaw country whatever common Americans call it. "Country" music at its core, is relatable to the everyday, hard scrabble, forgotten American. It's lyrics & tone, are our story.
No one cares about your grandpa . For all we know he used to touch chickens.
There is nothing better (in my opinion) than the sound of southern picking, I don't care if it is blues, rock, folk or metal, those boys down there are my favorite pickers of all time. My soul is delighted with this music, and it is even better because it is pure and medicinal, like music is meant to be created and shared.
Wow, his voice is just getting better and better. I love this version of his voice, it’s easier for me to hear the timber and richness of his vocals now. His singing voice (non-shouting/wailing) while “Rich Men in Richmond” is definitely a great song, sung with a lot of anguish and with his heart, his vocals truly shine in this song here, I like it! I’m not a huge country or folk type music fan because I enjoy rock music and R&B the most but this man’s voice and what he sings about is a true force of goodness and it’s real, no pretense, no ego, just what the good lord has given him, a beautiful voice to share with all of us, heaven sent.
Just found this artist. Never was interested in country music but I listen to this album everyday cruising around in my patrol car ❤
You’re our voice brother, we’re all feeling it . May the Good Lord send you all the reward you need 🇦🇺
