In the mid 70"s we were driving by a little gas station on Rt 50, in the middle of WV, and saw Red Sovine's tour bus. Of course we had to stop and see if he would sign autograph's. He climbed off that bus as soon as he heard there were kids wanting to meet him. He was the sweetest man, and spent nearly an hour visiting with us. He made a big impression and a fan for life.
My dad could not listen to this song without sobbing his heart out. We lost him to Cancer 4 years ago and he never actually told us the story behind why it always affected him so much.
You just opened the door to what I call Trucker songs! I'll tell you truckers are some of the biggest saps around! If you liked this there are a few more you need to check out! Roses for Moma Is another punch you in the feels and Wolf Creek Pass will get you sending Burbon through your nose laughing! Really hope you check out more trucker songs! I was an OTR driver for about a year before the stress got to me and started affecting my health and forced me out. But I have a LOAD of respect for my fellow CDL friends! 10/4 over and out!
Y'all need to do Giddy up go by Red Sovine. There are two parts and the second involves Mini Pearl. It's also a tear jerker. But oh the story it tells.
I haven't listened to this in a while because I cry. Every time. It's storytelling at its best. Another one that hits in the feels is "Country Bumpkin" which was first sung by Cal Smith BUT the version I like best is by Loretta Lynn.
Absolutely love this song! My dad drove truck all his life. When he couldn't drive long distance anymore, he worked for small business around the state or just day drives.
My great uncle was in a wheelchair from age 18. He talked all day every day on the cb. Truck drivers sent him post cards from all over and he put them in plastic hangers on each wall. When there wad no more space, he'd take one row down and start a new one. When he passed, the convoy to his grave was quite a sight. His name was Stovepipe and this song always reminds me of him.
GREAT STORY SONG. I remember when this came out. Played a lot on the radio. It was very, very popular. Red Sovine is a great story teller. Has many songs like Teddy Bear.
I have always loved Red Sovine. My Uncle used to play his stuff for me when I was a little girl, many moons ago. My favorite was Little Rosa. Play it for your wife when she needs a good cry.
OMG, my dad had Red on albums & then 8 track tapes & he played them all the time, when I was just a little girl. He was also a trucker & listened to these old trucker songs a lot. I had not heard this in many, many years. Thanks for the memories.
Can never go wrong with a Red Sovine song. If you want the puppy in the truck you need to listen to Reds song Little Joe. It’s the sequel to Teddybear.
Anytime me to get back in touch with myself and the goodness in my heart I listen to Red sovine my grandfather was a trucker every summer I went on a haul with him. Hands down the best memories of my life.
I love this video. It was a great reaction and I grew up listening to Red sovine and Steven here's a shout out for you on wbap 820 the bill Mac show when I can get away with staying up that late. Red sovine was the king of trucker songs. And he is an OG no question about it. Great reaction guys.
@@BourbonCountryReacts Keith the three that come to mind there is an answer song for this by the way and it's worth the effort. I can't remember the name I think it's getting up go but there are three songs that I strongly recommend from my own memories of Savannah giddy up go, roses for Mama, and phantom 309.
I was cryin' before I started the video. I can't listen to this song without cryin' and with Keith, makin' jokes I was laughin' and cryin'... The reaction was great! Um, Dustin, Can you tell the audience why Keith knows what a dusty old library books tastes like?🤣🤣
Oh goodness this song makes me cry every time I hear this …. My daddy was a trucker for 50 years he played this on 8track when I was little and I cried … scared to death every time he left the house he wouldn’t come home .
Other songs by Red Sovine: Little Joe (sequel to this song) Giddy Up Go Phantom 309 Also one of the other commenters mentioned a C.W. McCall Song. I'd second reacting to him: Convoy Wolf Creek Pass. Great reaction.
Hey yall..Thanks for covering one of my childhood favorites. It cracked me up when you said "trucker make a wish" haha. I did a cover of this one a while back and I sounded weird to say the least hahah
when I was a little girl my mother listened to Red Sovine. Apparently I loved it and told my grandmother (dad's mom) that I wanted to listen to it. so she bought the CD and when we were in the car she played it and I sung all the songs while she sobbed the entire time without me noticing. She got home and promptly called my mother and told her that she was evil for for subjecting her to that ha. I still cry at many of his songs and think of my grandmother. Its not a popular reaction song so I'm glad you guys did.
As a truck driver this gets to me. My biggest fear is not making it home I wish the industry was the way it was back when this song was done. We use to be a family this isn't just a song this stuff really happened back then....be safe drivers 10-4
Hayde Bluegrass orchestra is great. I’ve seen them in Oslo live a couple years ago. Great reaction again. I can never make it through this song without some tears. But you guys said that you are rock and metal fans right? I’m not really familiar with rock bands, but my kids love the Swedish metal band Sabarton. Have you heard of them? They have a special song about the USA Marines (just for Keith 😉 )Actually they tell war stories (some well known, some unknown) in their songs from all perspectives and sides. I know you react to country music on the channel, but because you gave a shoutout to this amazing Norwegian group, I thought of this metal Swedish band. We love your reactions and your channel.
I grew up listening to Red Sovine. "Daddy's Girl" and "It'll Come Back" are other good ones. My Dad was a trucker and my sister and I used to sing those for him when he got home.

You should check out Ana Popovich , I saw her open for Buddy Guy a few yrs ago and she blew me away. She learned to play the blues while growing up in Serbia. She also plays a stratocaster.
Ok, that threw me for a loop. When I read that, I was thinking of Ana Vidovic, who is a classical guitar prodigy. "She plays country music????" I see the error of my initial confusion now. - Keith
I never make through listening to Teddy Bear without tears.
I can certainly see why. - Keith
Yeah me also.
Nobody does. My dad was a trucker and anything by Mr Sovine played at a truck stop reduced hardened truckers and scary bikers to tears.... even sobs.
Yep... me too... you're in good company
Makes a grown man turn to soup every time.
My grandpa was a truck driver and he used to play a lot of Red Sovine. Now as an adult, and him not here anymore, it brings back so many memories.
In the mid 70"s we were driving by a little gas station on Rt 50, in the middle of WV, and saw Red Sovine's tour bus. Of course we had to stop and see if he would sign autograph's.

I had the honor of getting to see Red perform this live on two different occasions. It's a special one indeed.
Y'all need to do Giddy up go by Red Sovine. There are two parts and the second involves Mini Pearl. It's also a tear jerker. But oh the story it tells.
In all of Red Sovine songs you can always hear the tears in his voice during his songs.
Thanks for the request grew up listening to Red Sovine with my dad good memories.

That’s always a tough one to get through. If you get the chance check out part 2 to this song.
Isn't that teddy bears last ride by Diana Willam's
There is 3 part to this song
Would you be referring to Giddy Up Go by Red Sovine?
Teddy bears last ride might be by another person but #1, fits right in.

This song always makes me cry. Everytime I listen to it tears fall each time.
I cannot listen to this song without crying. It's such an emotional song.
There’s a couple of other Red Sovine songs you should check out. Roses For Mama, Little Rosa, Lay Down Sally & Phantom 309 are all great.
+1 for Phantom 309
+2 for phantom 309
Phantom 309 is a MUST!
Red Sovine - “The Vietnam Deck Of Cards” is another great one!
Thank you Steven. For this song and in advance for deck of cards.
Your welcome
Welcome to the world of Red Sovine. Awesome story teller.
I listen to this song a lot, especially when I need a reminder that there are good people in the world.
My dad was a trucker and he's gone now, we listen to this song and smile as we relate ..
As soon as you started this song tears started coming! This song gets played a lot around Christmas, are it used to!

He has a lot of great spoken word songs. One of them is about his son and Vietnam

Being a trucker every time I listen to Teddy Bear I tear up every time
A tearjerker!
Agreed. - Keith
This is a true tear jerker
Red Sovine was what my dad called The Trucker country singer since most of his songs were linked to trucks
Hey yall..Thanks for covering one of my childhood favorites. It cracked me up when you said "trucker make a wish" haha. I did a cover of this one a while back and I sounded weird to say the least hahah
Always loved this song cause my grandpa was a truck driver and how fitting that this song happened to land on Halloween the day he passed away
When I was a kid, I would bawl everytime I heard this song.
My uncle used to play his guitar and sing this song at my grandpas house when I was little.
when I was a little girl my mother listened to Red Sovine. Apparently I loved it and told my grandmother (dad's mom) that I wanted to listen to it. so she bought the CD and when we were in the car she played it and I sung all the songs while she sobbed the entire time without me noticing.

Real Americans with hearts. That how this country used to be. Thanks and shout out to all of our truckers out there. Be safe and God bless.
Giddy-up go and Little Joe are just a couple more of the many tales Red recorded! All well worth listening to.
Part 2 of this is "Little Joe" with the same Trucker. For me it's just a bit better.
My wife says as a kid she lived this song on I-5 in Coalinga, Ca.
If you haven't done it yet check out Reds Roses for mamma also
We haven't yet. - Keith
Another vote for this from me!
Red Sovine has several great trucker songs!
Dude … your cold! This is a bad ass song! And I do crank it up whenever I hear it!! It has meaning behind it!!!
This doesn't really seem like a "blast it" song for me, but that's just me. - Keith
Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra -- YES! They’re so awesome!
I *love* their stuff. Just incredible. - Keith

ROSES FOR MOMMA and LITTLE ROSA are fantastic story song by Red Sovine as well
I remember listening to red sovine when I was young he was one of my dad's favorites
love this song
There’s a part Two too this song oh my goodness the tears roll
I’m 54 years old. I have cerebral palsy and walk like a penguin. I start crying at the first note. I haven’t heard this song in awhile
Another great story song is BIG JOHNny Jimmy Dean when he was a singer before he became sausage king
Red savine roses for momma another great song
Can't wait for part two to this...
I grew up listening to Red Sovine. "Daddy's Girl" and "It'll Come Back" are other good ones. My Dad was a trucker and my sister and I used to sing those for him when he got home.
Yaw should listen to part 2 of this song called phantom 309. It basically tells how his father died and how he got crippled. I think it's amazing..
