    High school dropout, lives in a camper, worked 12 hour shifts six days a week for years in factories in North Carolina and Virginia, and was about a month sober when he recorded this. The guy is legit.

      Education is worthwhile. It's easy to blame the woman down the street that's on welfare for buying fudge rounds. Yeah, she's a shitty bitch, but she didn't start this cycle of poverty. The song is good, but he blames welfare queens and I disagree with that. I'd argue that our tax dollars would be better spent on healthcare (including mental health), infrastructure, and quality but cheap education so that we can still be producers and fixers while regulating what the corporate overlords can take. Equal work for equal pay. But we spend it on the DOD and the Pentagon. That's apparently more important than bringing a kid up with a decent understanding of how the world works.

      I just watched a video. He lives in a camper with a tarp on roof on his land he owes $60k on.. When he and the guy from the radio station recorded the video they we’re hoping for like 300k views..
      To tell you how f’n legit this man is, he has turned down several music contracts, 1 as high as $8 million dollars because he isn’t doing it to be rich and famous, doesn’t want a bunch of tour buses and semis or a jet.. He doesn’t want to be a full time musician, he just wants to live on his homestead and live life his way and make music for like CZcams..
      The video is on country cast on CZcams..

      @@lanejohnson7656 No, none of this is true actually. If you read the KnowYourMeme entry on "Rich Men North of Richmond," you'll see that this song was written a year ago, not even by the singer himself, and was bankrolled by a right-wing media personality who supports Ron Desantis for President, he got all these big right-wing personalities to promote it and it blew up instantly over Tiktok. The singer himself works in some sort of shipping or trucking industry, he has no artist background at all. Just look it up, he's entirely a plant.

    @NickWatlet Před 9 měsíci +200

    He posted this on his page, his name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford, Oliver Anthony was his grandfather's name and he's paying homage to him by singing under "Oliver Anthony music"
    It's been difficult as I browse through the 50,000+ messages and emails I've received in the last week. The stories that have been shared paint a brutally honest picture. Suicide, addiction, unemployment, anxiety and depression, hopelessness and the list goes on.
    Im sitting in such a weird place in my life right now. I never wanted to be a full time musician, much less sit at the top of the iTunes charts. Draven from RadioWv and I filmed these tunes on my land with the hope that it may hit 300k views. I still don't quite believe what has went on since we uploaded that. It's just strange to me.
    People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off 8 million dollar offers. I don't want 6 tour buses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. I don't want to play stadium shows, I don't want to be in the spotlight. I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression. These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they're being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot and his guitar. The style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place.
    So that being said, I have never taken the time to tell you who I actually am. Here's a formal introduction:
    My legal name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford. My grandfather was Oliver Anthony, and "Oliver Anthony Music" is a dedication not only to him, but 1930's Appalachia where he was born and raised. Dirt floors, seven kids, hard times. At this point, I'll gladly go by Oliver because everyone knows me as such. But my friends and family still call me Chris. You can decide for yourself, either is fine.
    In 2010, I dropped out of high school at age 17. I have a GED from Spruce Pine, NC. I worked multiple plant jobs in Western NC, my last being at the paper mill in McDowell county. I worked 3rd shift, 6 days a week for $14.50 an hour in a living hell. In 2013, I had a bad fall at work and fractured my skull. It forced me to move back home to Virginia. Due to complications from the injury, it took me 6 months or so before I could work again.
    From 2014 until just a few days ago, I've worked outside sales in the industrial manufacturing world. My job has taken me all over Virginia and into the Carolinas, getting to know tens of thousands of other blue collar workers on job sites and in factories. Ive spent all day, everyday, for the last 10 years hearing the same story. People are SO damn tired of being neglected, divided and manipulated.
    In 2019, I paid $97,500 for the property and still owe about $60,000 on it. I am living in a 27' camper with a tarp on the roof that I got off of craigslist for $750.
    There's nothing special about me. I'm not a good musician, I'm not a very good person. I've spent the last 5 years struggling with mental health and using alcohol to drown it. I am sad to see the world in the state it's in, with everyone fighting with each other. I have spent many nights feeling hopeless, that the greatest country on Earth is quickly fading away.
    That being said, I HATE the way the Internet has divided all of us. The Internet is a parasite, that infects the minds of humans and has their way with them. Hours wasted, goals forgotten, loved ones sitting in houses with each other distracted all day by technology made by the hands of other poor souls in sweat shops in a foreign land.
    When is enough, enough? When are we going to fight for what is right again? MILLIONS have died protecting the liberties we have. Freedom of speech is such a precious gift. Never in world history has the world had the freedom it currently does. Don't let them take it away from you.
    Just like those once wandering in the desert, we have lost our way from God and have let false idols distract us and divide us. It's a damn shame.

      Pop country generally sucks though there's some okay stuff out there. I think you might find some really good gritty stuff that's "heavy" in its own way if you look into the Texas/western indie stuff. There's some really good classic stuff too.

We have more in common than we have differences. They pray on the scared and the fragile, and they tell them that they are hated and that they are different, and they tell us to hate the different. They can't rule us if we stand together, and they will do everything they can to keep us apart.

      He keeps amazing me. He is so humble and down to earth. Cuts himself way short. He has turned down a few record deals, 1 for $8million because he doesn’t want to be a famous full time musician with tour buses, semis and a jet. He wants to live a simple life on his land, live life on his terms and make the music he wants on his time.. He lives on land out in the woods obviously in a camper with a tarp on the roof that he owes $60k. He could obviously use the money, but he doesn’t want that life.. You can’t get anymore real, legit and down to earth than that.. Hopefully we will be getting more great music from him that is relatable because he gave the finger to the big money trying to cash in on him..
      For anyone reading this he can use some subs on his own CZcams channel Oliver Anthony Music. It’s a damn shame the radio station video that went viral has like 19M views, but his subscriber count on his channel is like 286k. Granted that’s basically 286k more than when this video went viral..
