This is WAY MORE than I expected! Grady, what are you going to do when someone "Country Famous," re-records this? It's actually really catchy and very likable - and those folks really did you a favor!
@@GradySmith Or maybe pitching the song to several Nashville stars about recording their own version? I could hear it leaning more into the beach vibe and being a Kenny Chesney hit!
Grady this is the coolest video you’ve ever done! I LOVED this so much. Sitting here trying to think which artist is the best fit for “Too Outlaw For My In-laws” This is brilliant man!
@@TC-fy3vo exactly, the music industry in general let alone just the country genre is basically a "squeeze tes fesses and hope for the best" kind of industry.
I'm calling it, this is your best video ever! It was amazing to watch Ernest in his right element. Maybe you can write another song with other artists/songwriters too?
Long time listener first time caller here. WOW! Grady this is extremely impressive and deserves a ton of recognition. This is an immense amount of work and a really cool video, bravo!!
I really like the song. It reminds me of Refried Dreams by Tim McGraw. Could definitely be a radio hit, and what I love most about it is it is lyrically different than anything else I have heard.
Wow the way Ernest just came up with stuff on the fly like that! Mind blowing just wow! He has a true natural talent I can see how he has the #1’s that he has!! Amazing video Grady,we need more songs haha and you didn’t sound half bad either,keep it up bro!
I really enjoyed the peek behind the curtain of Nashville - super talented people and interesting to get a glimpse of their work! Great video, Grady! And the song is a jam! 🧡
Amazing video, I feel like this could be a semi-annual series where you explore various facets of the industry more in-depth while creating an EP or a short album of your own songs/collabs. The possibilities are endless, and this idea can scale, baby!
I am from germany and I sadly admit that Country Music isn‘t as famous as in the states. But I love your videos and I love to see Ernest how he is able to create melodies just like that. I appreciate his talent so much! Greets from Germany :)
Dude this is so sick. Already added the song to my playlist, when i heard the first 10 seconds of it. Now hear me out, no one expects you to become a country star, BUT you HAVE TO turn your other song ideas with it's cheaper to keep 'er into songs as well now and just release a little EP. Series of Episodes is such a vibe, it'd be a shame not to go for the other ideas now as well, especially because the titles are already humorous.
It's been so fun to watch your channel (and you!) grow and evolve over the years I've been a subscriber. I love that this RUclips thing has taken you all the way to recording an actual single with frickin' Ernest. It's been cool to watch, dude.
I loved all of this so much! Don’t be afraid to do something diff from your reviews (which are tried and true). This and the country advent are such fun videos! ❤
This is awesome! Been watching your content for years, and this is now probably my favourite video! Really interesting to see the process, and the people behind it. Ernest song writing brain is incredible. Such a great song! Definitely now part of my playlist!
Love this video!! Your new hit song’s lyrics remind me a lot of another streaming based song in a different genre, called “Netflix Trip” by AJR. It’s amazing how many ways there are to play with lyrics around the subject
I need this to stay as the outro! I think its awesome you made this video, lowkey the stylist kinda gave me ideas for myself being kind-of a bigger guy myself and now i low key wanna have my own album photoshoot 😂

You should ask that country stylist out
@@ITPHIL620 Hopefully you can branch out because country music is very polarizing. The rest of my family always hated it I go back-and-forth.
I seriously want those other song ideas to be real songs too, this is actually lowkey a bop
I write country songs I want to become a country music star & move to nashville TN I post my songs on tick tock but I want to move to nashville & get a record deal , work with nashville songwriters & get my songs played on country radio & go on tour with JASON ALDEAN 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 🤠🤠🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 I also wear the cowboy hat & cowboy boots & western belt with a western belt buckle , That is my country artist look & country artist stage look
Dude I just listened to that song and no shit it’s actually good lol that’s so awesome😂
We need a new song every month! "It's cheaper to keep her" & "Too outlaw for my inlaws" have some real potential too.
I bet Ernest would make a hell of a song with to outlaw for my in laws
Here's a my attempt at writing Too out law for my in-laws
Too Outlaw for my In-Laws
Well you should’ve seen my mother inlaw’s face
When I showed up to brunch in ‘em old worn out jeans
Said I was out of place, whatever that means
Hey what can I say, I’ve never been one for
A big city office job or fancy high paying career
Don’t want no part in the great race
Just wanna cold cold beer
And maybe a couple more
‘Cause I’m too outlaw for my inlaws
I’m just another Friday night rodeo ranch hand
Singer of a big ol’ rock and roll long haired hillbilly band
Hanging out with the bikers and hippies and southpaws
That’s why this old cowboy is too outlaw for his inlaws
Well me and my old lady go hand in hand
When we go out a sittin’ in my new deer stand
But her parents never thought she’d be the kind
To settle down with redneck in a smalltown
Raise a bunch a kids and spend all her free time in duck blind
Naw they wanted her to marry an up and coming business man
Someone with a great big plan, not a plowboy or a farm hand
I guess that’s why I’m too outlaw for my inlaws
I’m just another Friday night rodeo ranch hand
Singer of a big ol’ rock and roll long haired hillbilly band
Hanging out with the bikers and hippies and southpaws
That’s why this old cowboy is too outlaw for his inlaws
Well her folks wanted to move down to Florida
So I hitched up my big wide trailer and chevy pickup truck
Put their bed in a flatbed and drove on down
If it weren’t for me they would’ve had to spend
Big money on a moving company
So now they’re glad I’m too outlaw for my inlaws
I’m just another Friday night rodeo ranch hand
Singer of a big ol’ rock and roll long haired hillbilly band
Hanging out with the bikers and hippies and southpaws
That’s why this old cowboy is too outlaw for his inlaws
Ernest has some major skill, the way he wrote that so easy is crazy
Skills is an understatement, when you’re that good at somethin I think they call it talent.
It’s easy when you do it every day…
@@officialWWM that’s the point tho, he does that without trouble everyday. Talent and skill is what it’s called
@@douglaslee8478 is it talent, or hard work? There are formulas to write songs. It’s not that difficult when you understand them.
@@officialWWM where are your chart topping bangers?
I love your normal content. But this is my favorite thing you’ve ever done.
Are you gonna get royalties when Ernest eventually records “too outlaw for my in-laws?” He seemed to love that one 😂
This will be a certified Grady Classic
How cool is it that Ernest was willing to do this
Now you need to review it on your next single round up
Yeehaw or yeenaw 😂
This is WAY MORE than I expected! Grady, what are you going to do when someone "Country Famous," re-records this? It's actually really catchy and very likable - and those folks really did you a favor!
I'm so grateful to all of em for helping me!
I'm gonna start saying "Are you sure Grady done it this way" when people make bad music.
LMAO
@@GradySmithplease make more music ! You’re amazing !
YES!!
What you ought to do is a part 2 of this video, shooting a video for the song and doing it live
oh gosh u right
Yes!
Too bad TRL isn't still a thing. Get him on there.
@@GradySmith Or maybe pitching the song to several Nashville stars about recording their own version? I could hear it leaning more into the beach vibe and being a Kenny Chesney hit!
Ernest seemed to really like too outlaw for my inlaws and i really hope he makes something off that hahahah
Ernest wrote that so quick. Interesting how fast he can put a song together.
Only thing missing was making a music video!
added to the playlist. thanks for reminding us that the people behind the Nashville production line are real people too. lots of love man
The fact that Grady kept his footage from 2010 shows you he’s really a pro with keeping everything he records. Honestly impressive.
It’d be cool if Ernest could release a version as well!
Cheaper to keep her is actually already a song! From 2007 by Aaron Lines, he's Canadian so it was pretty big here for a minute
Grady this is the coolest video you’ve ever done! I LOVED this so much. Sitting here trying to think which artist is the best fit for “Too Outlaw For My In-laws” This is brilliant man!
probably not Jeff Bates!!
I'd say Jackson Dean OR Hot Country Knights!
I can picture Lily Rose doing it and the added layers could be so funny/poignant
Justin Moore or Aaron Watson
Justin moore for sure
I'm obsessed with Amy. She needs a show.
She's freakin' hilarious and could totally do that.
I need Amy to go through my wardrobe
I already know Grady will have this song be his outro for all his videos lol
bro you should drop an album
24 hours?? isn't that a little long to become a country start in nash?
No it varies from 24 hours to 15 years, depending on the artist.
@@SamuelDuplessis12 what a swing. Could be tomorrow, could be never. Anyway, here's your hat and boots
@@TC-fy3vo exactly, the music industry in general let alone just the country genre is basically a "squeeze tes fesses and hope for the best" kind of industry.
I'm calling it, this is your best video ever! It was amazing to watch Ernest in his right element. Maybe you can write another song with other artists/songwriters too?
This was a cool way to showcase other talented people
What a intresting insight into what goes into song writing, style, photography and producing. Incredible video!
Grady my friend, we’re going to need a single of “it’s cheaper to keep her” it’s not debatable
This was wildly entertaining, great video
Long time listener first time caller here. WOW! Grady this is extremely impressive and deserves a ton of recognition. This is an immense amount of work and a really cool video, bravo!!
I love how much Grady was dying to get that Office reference in there
The persistence paid off!
Immediately started singing Aaron Lines "Cheaper to Keep Her" 😆 What a great video! Loved getting a glimpse into the process.
I really like the song. It reminds me of Refried Dreams by Tim McGraw. Could definitely be a radio hit, and what I love most about it is it is lyrically different than anything else I have heard.
This is probably the coolest video you've ever made. I loved all of that. So awesome! Ernest is a genius too.
I'm blown away Grady. It''s got "Some Beach" vibes.
Wow the way Ernest just came up with stuff on the fly like that! Mind blowing just wow! He has a true natural talent I can see how he has the #1’s that he has!! Amazing video Grady,we need more songs haha and you didn’t sound half bad either,keep it up bro!
Ernest is crazy impressive with how quick he is. This was a fun episode!

Nice man, that was a fun watch. Stick with it! I'm on board for your country career.
What an absolute masterpiece of a video this is.
This made me smile! Crazy how it worked out so well - both with the song and your image as an artist. Fun!
this was a really and genuinely interesting video, good job! to me the songwriting process was the most fun for sure
Heck yeah man, your dedication and commitment to this video is awesome.
This is probably the best and most interesting video so far. Amazing what came to be and great song actually haha. More of this Grady!
I could watch Ernest write music all day! This is a phenomenal video.
This is the BEST video you have ever made! The song is clever and melodic and awesome! Great job, sir!
Such an amazing episode! So much fun to watch and LOVED your photos.
Some of your best content yet Grady! Outstanding work! The Ernest section was top tier
Such a cool video and love that these people all helped you!! You’re doing amazing things on this channel
Such a fun video, might be my fave of yours so far
Another great video! Looking forward to Series 2 of Episodes
Everything about this is so fun!! Loved watching the whole experience
I loved this video! Was really cool to see all behind the scenes stuff for a country star. You have a great voice too!

This is such a fun video, and the song is such a grower as well! Can see that getting added to some of my playlists!
this has such an ERNEST vibe to it, you can just hear it, and im all for it. love it Grady!
Dude what a cool video! I loved watching all the bts especially the clothing and photography. Also ERNEST?!?!?!?
Really awesome video, Grady! The song is so fun too. Been watching your videos for awhile and this has been my favorite one so far.
Very Interesting Good Job. I already have the tune stuck in my head!
Grady I have been watching you for so long and I'm excited for you! This is so cool!
Absolutely brilliant and deserves to move you to a new level. Good luck with the merch sales. You've already got .08 cents from my stream.
Great video! Ernest is awesome. Everyone was so generous with their time and encouraging. Loved this inside look into the machine!
This is sooooo soo good 😂 such a great idea for a video!
At the end I knew the chorus and was singing along!
Also, Ernest is a genius!

That song is a BOP. Well done, sir! Loved this video. The earth tones suit you well :)
