@@davidwillison7796 Hank Williams Sr was a great country singer. But George Strait has more number one hits than any country singer ever. Even more than Garth Brooks. All without ever changing his style. That's why he is the king.
According to Waylon ... Bob Wills is still the king, I think of all the people living or dead .. Waylon Jennings has earned the right to crown the king!
I really appreciate how you guys are so open to all genres. I respect what y'all are doin. Society needs more open minded ppl like when it comes to music.
I'm from Cheyenne. Cheyenne has the largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration on Earth. That is what this song is about. A cowboys love for Cheyenne Frontier Days, "The Daddy of Em All".
@fucookie Don't get me wrong, Garth is amazing in his own right but there is only one King of country. Garth tours like crazy and has 20 #1 hits but George retired topping out at 60 #1 hits for his career. Radio stations here in Texas have dedicated 24 hour streams to nothing but George Strait. Another keeps people tuned in by promising at least 2 strait songs every hour. Another has something called "strait at eight" where they play a couple of his songs back to back. George is King.
George Strait IS, and WILL be ALWAYS, THE King of Country!! Garth is great... but he studied at the feet of the King, George Strait, #hisinspiration. Read about it. HANDS. DOWN. King.
He wasn't being dismissive, he was fronting. His heart was breaking, and he figured he owed it to her to make her feel like she made the right decision. He was being a good enough man to let her be happy. He knew he hadn't been giving her the life she deserved.
Pretty much....I saw that having already met someone new, her decision was made. He was respecting that, likely mentioning Cheyenne to relieve her of any guilt. You have to understand this culture was founded on respect for one another-even (or especially) in the face of betrayal. ...Reason was it's one of the things that helped ensure a long life in places with little law here. If you killed someone in the West, the more respected they were, the more friends they likely had, and the more money got spent hiring folks or detectives to investigate or find you....and this was all well understood, and would be inferred by just the way you acted/ how respectable you seemed. This likely promoted the culture of honor and respect that has lasted into modern times, especially in parts of Texas, Wyoming, etc where many towns still have no police- only a small sheriff's dept. at the county seat. You can see a slight version of this today, but only regarding public figures or police....where harm to them guarantees a greater response... mind you without the cultural impact since this extra protection can't be gained/increased for anyone by acting 'more public figur-ee' or more 'police-ish' lol....
These two guys represent what I wish our media and entertainment world would show more of. They likely won’t see my boy George in a concert, but they are cool and give legitimate dialog. I would send them a round of drinks if they were at my bar. Yah, I’m a conservative, Country listening white guy, but I got more in common with these two than a lot of folks. God Bless.
I sure wish they had read this, it is a great reminder that there are others out there that we have more in common with us than we realize whether they like the same kind of music, or music at all. Just good people you would love to buy a drink for
Their reaction gave me shivers. Like they GET it. Cultural differences don't mean jack when you take the time to listen and figure out what you have in common instead of what is different.
LaneUSMC I was fortunate to see George early in his career in Brehnam. Still remember the magic of George! Saw him several times at the Livestock Show with the kids..also huge fans.
Danny Scott This is the same thing that happened to me. RUclips recommended it and I went on three hours straight watching videos. I subscribed and now I watch every video that comes up
The point of the song is this: the chyenne rodeo is basically the mecca of rodeos. Its on the most prestigious rodeos around. He was going to give up going on order to be with her, but it was too late.
Loved your reaction. Thank you for respecting country music. Most people write it off right away without giving it a shot as soon as they hear the word country. Your interpretation of the song was right and I liked how you equated it to a basketball player or anybody else trying to make it at what they love. It was great to see you get what country music really does which is tell a story that everybody can relate to. All you had to do was insert a different profession and it can relate to anyone. And thank you for acknowledging that country music keeps it real. That's what it's all about. And that the artists and fans are unapologetic about it. And yes George is the KING of country music. He has 61 number one hits which is more than any other artist in any genre in history. That's how he got the name KING George. Thanks for keeping it real guys #freethinkers
Cheyenne is Cheyenne Wyoming. It's a place where there is a huge Rodeo every year or there may be more. But I do know that Cheyenne Wyoming hosts a huge Rodeo at least once a year.
I used to live in Cheyenne and yeah it's def about frontier days. My ex had tickets to see journey and Reba was there. But I swear you could hear the music from frontier days from the mud hud on the south side pass the via-docks. Laramie and Cody could hear journey too lol.
FYI George Strait has more #1 hit singles than ANYONE in the history of music, thats all genre's. That's why he's called The King of Country "When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar"
Yes you hit the nail on the head, fiddles and steel guitars.... equals pure old school country music, unlike todays so-called country music. It's like the Travis Tritt song says from so many years ago, "Country ain't Country no-more"!
I'm so glad you did one of his songs. He just dropped his 30th studio album on the 29th at almost 70 years old. He is the King of Country, never sold out, always true to his roots. For 90s r&b being my favorite genre of music, George Strait trumps it. He is my #1 since I was a kid.
The song is about the life of a rodeo cowboy. The song begins with a phone call from a cowboy on the road to his love. He assures her that he is coming home. However, her tone alerts him that something is wrong. The chorus reveals that the woman has decided to leave him for another she feels is more reliable. The man replies that as much as this pains him, he will go on to Cheyenne, the most prestigious rodeo around. He was going to give up Cheyenne to be with her, one of the biggest sacrifices a cowboy could make, yet the moment he learned she had replaced him for another, he was quick to try to make Cheyenne. The cowboy does get to Cheyenne but it is revealed that when he does, it is his love that is still foremost on his mind. The song is about Lane Frost.
Sure, but they look confused when he talk about Cheyenne, cause they were not cowboys, neither am I, but hope it's about Cheyenne Frontier Days™.. (Moral of the song ~ don't quit to give your best, even if your heart is broken..)
YOU gentlemen GET. IT. You understand the music. THANK YOU. Doesn't matter WHAT walk of life you come from...you listen to...respect...and understand the music..THANK YOU. You are correct. This song is about placing your worldly DREAMS and career above ALL ELSE. INCLUDING LOVE. THANK YOU. Listen to music with an unbiased heart and soul...and you walk away feeling complete and WHOLE...
I've been listening to George Strait, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Toby Keith, Hank Williams Jr, Conway Twitty etc for years. I grew up around it and just gravitated to it.
I like that y’all say this song is pure country when George Straight was the main character of a movie named “Pure Country”. He’s the king of country like Elvis was the king of rock and roll.
Garth Brooks says in his show he spends 2 hours flying through the air, running back and forth on stage and doing all kinds of stunts to get the crowd charged up and all George Straight has to do is walk out on stage, stand in one place and smile and the place goes wild.
I'm a massive George Strait fan, but let's give credit where it's due, there's a reason why Garth has won Entertainer of the Year so many times. The man puts on one of the best concerts ever.
Ken Hall I opened for his son Ned back in October He is a great guy!! Has a lot of cool stories about his Father and a lot of good songs!! Keep an eye out for him he's climbing the ladder!!
They'd have to hear the way overplayed "This Cowboy's Hat" and not something like "Tougher Than the Rest" or any of his less known cowboy songs. Agreeing he's awesome but that's cowboy music where country is so...weird on how it can be pop but mention hay bales.
I find it so perfect that you guys called George "pure country" and he was literally in a movie called Pure Country in the 90's. What are the odds, huh?
I swore I would never listen to goat ropin music .. being a rocker and a musician since I was 8 years old .. but I went to Alabama in my 20's and it all changed .. and George is definitely the King seriously he grows on you big time the more listen to him the more you love him .. he has so many fucking good songs its impossible not to love him and he is just plain and simply a great guy .
Didn't make the "short go" in reference to the final round in the rodeo. He travels for rodeo and is always gone. She always expects to receive a call that he's been killed in a rodeo accident. The Cheyenne Rodeo is world famous in the rodeo world, like the Calgary Stampede rodeo
I'm pretty sure his "I can still make Cheyenne" comment is supposed to imply that when he initially called and said he hadn't made the cut, that he had indeed made the cut to the next event, Cheyenne. He was willing to give up his position at Cheyenne because he was ready to come back home. Once she let him know he was too late, he decided to push forward with his career.
He's a cowboy... He is who he is... He is what he is... He's not necessarily trying to provide a better life for her as much as he's just pursuing his passion and if she can't handle it, that's ok. Ironically, it's this passion that attracted her to him in the first place. He doesn't hate her. He doesn't wish her ill. He knows she wasn't the first and that she won't be the last. He's on his path and women are welcome to come and go. One of my favorite songs. Nice work guys!
Like Chris Ledoux, they both started out rodeoing. Chris was a bronc rider, George did bull doghing. Chris started out just recording and selling his tapes at the rodeo. George started preforming at the rodeos. I think they actually met in Cheyenne.
George Strait is the most respected country singer of all-time!!! Willie Nelson may be a national treasure, but nobody has the clout that Strait does!! My favorite song of his is Ocean Front Property.
That's a great one, how did you pick a favorite?, He doesn't have bad songs just ones I like more then others, I really dig I hate everything, run, Amarillo by morning, poison, when the credits roll, so much like my dad
Poor logic. Jethro Tull once won a best metal Grammy. Sometimes using popularity to decide standard just doesn't work. Thinking like that would make McD's the restaurant chain with the best food.
I just found your channel and I'm obsessed!!! As a lifelong country girl I'm loving your takes on these old school country songs! And really love that you called this a "pure country" song bc he was in the movie Pure Country 😊
I just don't understand how you don't have millions of subs yet. You guys put out some of the realist content on the web, let alone You Tube. I found your channel on the 46&2 review and binged from there. I have always been a fan of good music ,period, no matter the genre. I really get that coming from both of you as well. And this is coming from a kid who's 80's mixed tapes had everything from Sugar Hill Gang or Woodini to Phil Collins or Megadeath. So I respect the honesty when you say 'no, it's not gonna make the playlist but it is still a good well made song'. or how you just don't get some things. Me for example, with my love of music from classical to contemporary , I just cant seem to get into modern country. I don't know what it is. give me some Men in Black or some Bosefus and its fine though. But after watching so many of your reviews and reactions to all the different genres' I think I owe it another try. So in the interest of free thinking here's a few I highly recommend a good listen and please hit me back with any modern country that will help change my opinion. Thanks and keep the greatness flowing. Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin I don't care anymore - Phil Collins Back in Black - AC/DC Bury me in Smoke - Down Day and Night - Kid Cuddi Jekyll n Hyde - FFDP I'll never smoke weed with Willie again -Toby Keith Hurt - Johnny Cash
Dont get me wrong George Strait has a ton of good songs but I dont think that makes him the one and only king of country, theres quite a few other great country artists out there who I think have songs that can beat out some of George's best songs. Alan Jackson, Hank Williams, Tobey Kieth, Brooks and Dunn, Alabama, and Waylon Jennings to name a few. George Strait has made a huge contribution to country and again has a lot of great songs but he shouldn't be the "king" that most other country artist are compared to.
Yes, there are a lot of great country artists. But that's literally George's nickname. He's known as The King of Country. It's like how no one tried to claim Prince was also the King of Pop. Yeah, he was good, but that wasn't his nickname. Strait holds the record for most number one albums and singles, gold albums, platinum albums, and multi-platinum in the history of country music. He's definitely the King of Country.
Earned a sub. This was a surprisingly good review, many people are put off by country, but you gave it a fair listen and found deeper meaning in the lyrics.
And yes, that's me in my profile pic, but I grew up working a farm, with my adoptive parents. This is the only music I listened to growing up. Y'all need to listen to some Civil Wars. Specifically, Poison And Wine. It'll shake you.
Greatest thing I've seen on RUclips in awhile. I'm from iowa, but live and rodeo in Texas. I listen to hip hop mainly but George Strait is a staple of rodeo life
On a sidenote George Strait is the king of country music and if you look him up, he has a world record in any music genera for the most number one hits in the history of music
I love how you guys do loads of different genres and upload everyday. But I was wondering what the schedule you guys do? Is it random or structured? Because it would be cool if each day of the week you would dedicate it to each genre, so like Monday Hip Hop, Tuesday R&B, Wednesday Rock/ Metal etc... Would be really cool! Just a suggestion :D
You’re not lookin’ hard enough if you think there’s no good country music being made today. Chris Stapleton Josh Ward Brent Cobb Zac Brown Band Sturgill Simpson There, now you’ve got some names to start digging.
Man, I love your channel. I don't even LIKE country 99% of the time, and you guys helped me find something to appreciate out of this one. As much as you speak to your listeners as free thinkers, this definitely applies to you guys, as well! Thank you again for doing what you do. Now, I don't know shit about country, so don't know what to suggest there, LOL. You say you like a groove and catchy drumming? I don't care if you even react to the songs on your channel, but you've GOT to listen to "Roll Right" by Rage Against the Machine. Mandatory head bobbing. Thanks guys!
Roll Right is a good song, but maybe not the best choice to introduce them to the band. I really think they should start with Know Your Enemy. It has everything we know they like: Deep lyrics, a good beat, a killer groove, wildly unique guitar playing (for its time), sick transitions, and just an all around representation of everything the band was about and what made them so amazing.
Back in the day, cowboys had to drive themselves around on the "rodeo circuit". You had to be both lucky and good to make the "short go", that's where the money was. Sometimes just a gold buckle was all you got for all the bruises and broken bones. Lots of good men lost lots of good women, and vice versa. Nice reaction guys
I remember when 8 seconds bought me a Jr. Bacon burger at Wendy's, a tank of gas, and my next entry fee. I made a whopping negative 12000 dollars and 2 ex's that take everything
If you boys want another Stapleton tune, try "Broken Halos." And yes. George strait is the king of country. If you want the heavier "rock country" I recommend Garth Brooks.
Cheyenne is an old established rodeo. If the rider gets enough points at these rodeos, he can get a great big buckle and lots of money. Most of the riders just break even at the best or get hurt at the worst. George Straight was in the rodeos some and several of his songs are about that life.
riversquid Yea, the beginning violin to that song reminds me of greeting the cold morning, the sun beginning to show though still dark, getting into your cold car. But the sound of that echoed violin warms your insides. Yes, they should react to Garth Brooks "Much too Young" (to feel this damn old). Beautiful.
George Strait has had 60 NUMBERS ONE HITS over 33years he is the true OG of country music he is the KING of country
60 number ones? He had more than 75.
No way the king of country is hank Williams sr. Always and forever
@@davidwillison7796
Hank Williams Sr was a great country singer. But George Strait has more number one hits than any country singer ever. Even more than Garth Brooks. All without ever changing his style. That's why he is the king.
According to Waylon ... Bob Wills is still the king, I think of all the people living or dead .. Waylon Jennings has earned the right to crown the king!
@@chriswaltman5313 but George Strait lifespan was longer than Hank Sr so u can't agree but I can respectfully agree to disagree man
I really appreciate how you guys are so open to all genres. I respect what y'all are doin. Society needs more open minded ppl like when it comes to music.
I agree 100%. Society needs more open minded people period no matter what it is. Society has become so cruel and only seems to be getting worse.
George Strait is so pure country. He starred in a movie called pure country.
Everett Baker good movie!
Everett Baker kinda like Em is a such a rap god he put a song out lol
This happens to a lot of career military people
“Cheyenne” is like the super bowl of rodeo in Cheyenne Wyoming.
CFD. I go every year. I live just about 40 miles away, and have been in WY my whole life.
Heading to Frontier Days in July...cant wait!!! I was stationed their for 9 years.
RIP Lane Frost.
Nah, the NFR is the Super Bowl, but CFD is great, too.
@@Kris_Wyo I wish I could go I'd love to. Bet you have lots of fun there.
I'm from Cheyenne. Cheyenne has the largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration on Earth. That is what this song is about. A cowboys love for Cheyenne Frontier Days, "The Daddy of Em All".
Yup. So many Southern Cowboys wanna ride that event. Super Bowl of Bull Riding. Great event

Oh man my dad took us all several times. I even met Tuff at one!

AGREED!
Sorry ya'l bob willes is still the king
lol...Waylon says so and so does George....but nope,,,In Texas its George a few old school folks will beg to differ though, so see your point.
Dwayne Webster all hail king George.
He's called "King George" for a reason. I had the privilege to see him at Rodeo Houston this year. He's still got it.
LaneUSMC I was fortunate to see George early in his career in Brehnam. Still remember the magic of George! Saw him several times at the Livestock Show with the kids..also huge fans.
Every year from age 2-15 my family saw King George at the Astrodome during the rodeo. Great memories
he isnt called king george... thay would be george jones
Amarillo by Morning also George.
Charles Moore yes, 1of my Favorites!!!
check yes or no
That's one my all time favorites!!!!!!
Charles Moore genuine George strait
OMG YESSSS!!!! My favorite song since I was a little girl. I have such memories of my dad singing it while cleaning the kitchen.
My Brother shared with me your review of Chris Stapleton tonight. I've been watching your videos going on 2 hours now! Legit! I subscribed. Thanks!

I love how they reference a "pure country" song not really understanding that George Strait did the movie (and song) Pure Country.
Irony is not just the opposite of wrinkly.
Thanks for pointing this out!
I did not even catch this. Thanks for pointing that out. I think I’ll make my wife watch it soon. I haven’t watched pure country in many years.
He is the KING OF COUNTRY...LISTEN TO MORE OF HIS SONGS
I have Pure Country on VHS

The cowboy does get to Cheyenne but it is revealed that when he does, it is his love that is still foremost on his mind. The song is about Lane Frost.
Did he come out and say that this is about lane frost? I always assumed it was but I never knew for sure
GS:" dont bother coming home"
The guys: *bursts out laughing* "DAMN"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sure, but they look confused when he talk about Cheyenne, cause they were not cowboys, neither am I, but hope it's about Cheyenne Frontier Days™.. (Moral of the song ~ don't quit to give your best, even if your heart is broken..)
The best part lmao
If you wanna hear the smoothest pick up song ever... listen to George strait “ The Chair”
llikens171921 my all time favorite!!
My all time favourite too damn.. Chair 💝❤️❤️
They definitely need to listen to The Chair
My husband sang that to me while we danced to it outside his room...
Listen to DIsys owns every families assets n there ain't shit I can do about it see we fucked the ugly sister
Randy Travis-3 Wooden Crosses. You guys will enjoy it.
chrisjay09 I second this song
Amen to that
Grab some tissues when you do
That would get a response from them for sure. I think they would be momentarily be speechless from the song
Cheyenne is basically to Rodeo what Daytona is to Nascar
I think you two would really like "seven Spanish angels" by Ray Charles and Willie Nelson. A little blues and a little country.
brandon jackson I've loved that song since I was a little kid.
YES PLEASE
brandon jackson played that at my sister funeral!! Great song
George Strait is THE king of country music!
exactly....when they say....one of the kings...I cringe

For Marty Robbins, I would go with Big Iron or Master's Call.
oh yeah. But you also have to listen to the other one, I can't remember the name off hand.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh hell yeah Marty and Gentleman Jim.
Cowboy in the continental suit
I've been listening to George Strait, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Toby Keith, Hank Williams Jr, Conway Twitty etc for years. I grew up around it and just gravitated to it.
George Jones is as real as it gets
Check out some Blaze Foley or Townes Van Zant. The greatest country musicians you probably never heard of but should have.
James Williams hell yeah. I'm from Houston. I love rap - but, I love old good country,
I highly recommend the song Waylon did with Tony Joe White, Shakin the Blues. Tony Joe is my guy.
Love George Jones
“You know a woman wants her cowboy like he wants his rodeo.”

I came to see if someone said this. If they haven't reacted to Garth Brooks' Rodeo, they need to asap. :)
I like that y’all say this song is pure country when George Straight was the main character of a movie named “Pure Country”. He’s the king of country like Elvis was the king of rock and roll.
Savannah Bratton agreed!!!
George Strait has "60 Number One" Hits!! The most of any singer ever!!!!
Josh D who has more then?
Kevin Schaefer yep!!
I love the "Lost in Vegas" guys, and they just gave their opinions!! I'm not hating on anyone, but just wanted to make truth known!!
Yup king of country music!
Kevin Schaefer wrong Ronnie Millsap has more.
THE King of Country. Not one of. ;)
@Pointhunter75 I understand what you're saying for sure, I'm just saying that's what he's called. ;) Google "Who is the King of Country?" Lol!
Pointhunter75 he is known as King George.
Yes! Thank you! Funny to see people that never really heard his stuff..lol
Exactly! He IS The King of Country!
Strait called that man George Jones, but I tend to think its Strait.
Garth Brooks says in his show he spends 2 hours flying through the air, running back and forth on stage and doing all kinds of stunts to get the crowd charged up and all George Straight has to do is walk out on stage, stand in one place and smile and the place goes wild.
I'm a massive George Strait fan, but let's give credit where it's due, there's a reason why Garth has won Entertainer of the Year so many times. The man puts on one of the best concerts ever.
Chris Ledoux was a pure, real cowboy like Strait, doesn't get much more country than that !!
Ken Hall amen brother
Amen brother. I live by where chris lives
Lived gd
Ken Hall I opened for his son Ned back in October He is a great guy!! Has a lot of cool stories about his Father and a lot of good songs!! Keep an eye out for him he's climbing the ladder!!
They'd have to hear the way overplayed "This Cowboy's Hat" and not something like "Tougher Than the Rest" or any of his less known cowboy songs. Agreeing he's awesome but that's cowboy music where country is so...weird on how it can be pop but mention hay bales.
I find it so perfect that you guys called George "pure country" and he was literally in a movie called Pure Country in the 90's. What are the odds, huh?
King George!! Soooo many of his songs to choose from! Amarillo by Morning, How bout them Cowgirls, The Chair, and on and on...
crusincamry the Chair is the smoothest country song there is. The way get picks up the woman in that song was next level before there was next level.
Your reaction to "Don't bother coming home" was hilarious! Great analysis too!
I god damn HATE reaction videos... I've been atching you guys for over 12 hours straight now. I love it!
Free Thinkers, man!
Omg!! This is my first reaction video and I am hooked!!!! These guys truly appreciate music and glad to know I am not the only one.
SUBSCRIBED. STRAIGHT FROM MUSIC CAPITOL OF THE WORLD MEMPHIS TENNESSEE.
Glad to know there are other people out there who realize society’s standards are absolutely 100% made up bullshit
Made me think of "Please don't take the girl" Tim McGraw...
I swore I would never listen to goat ropin music .. being a rocker and a musician since I was 8 years old .. but I went to Alabama in my 20's and it all changed .. and George is definitely the King seriously he grows on you big time the more listen to him the more you love him .. he has so many fucking good songs its impossible not to love him and he is just plain and simply a great guy .
Since y'all are trying to have a little bit of everything I think y'all should check out Ryan Upchurch
Didn't make the "short go" in reference to the final round in the rodeo. He travels for rodeo and is always gone. She always expects to receive a call that he's been killed in a rodeo accident. The Cheyenne Rodeo is world famous in the rodeo world, like the Calgary Stampede rodeo
I'm pretty sure his "I can still make Cheyenne" comment is supposed to imply that when he initially called and said he hadn't made the cut, that he had indeed made the cut to the next event, Cheyenne. He was willing to give up his position at Cheyenne because he was ready to come back home. Once she let him know he was too late, he decided to push forward with his career.
This is a exactly what this song is about
And the last line is she found another man just like him. The circle never ends.
He's a cowboy... He is who he is... He is what he is... He's not necessarily trying to provide a better life for her as much as he's just pursuing his passion and if she can't handle it, that's ok. Ironically, it's this passion that attracted her to him in the first place. He doesn't hate her. He doesn't wish her ill. He knows she wasn't the first and that she won't be the last. He's on his path and women are welcome to come and go.
One of my favorite songs. Nice work guys!
Smart depiction Rick.
Fun fact. George competed in PRCA roping. The man can ride.
Didnt know that
I didn't know that but it makes sense so he knows what hes singing about that's cool
He actually has his own roping show at his own ranch, has for years. Pays a lot of money out, too.
Like Chris Ledoux, they both started out rodeoing. Chris was a bronc rider, George did bull doghing. Chris started out just recording and selling his tapes at the rodeo. George started preforming at the rodeos. I think they actually met in Cheyenne.
George is known as the King of Country. Love your channel.
porkchopsrv As a Native Texan we call him King George! Hail the King! 😍
Kelly Lewis well I think Garth Brooks is better that George straight
As a NATIVE Texan, Bob Wills is still the King.
GEORGE STRAIT IS WAY BETTER THAN GARTH!
@porkchopsrv, i thought Roy Acuff was The King of Country Music? :)
“He’s just in love with rodeo” 😂 so many circuit wife’s would agree with you!
George Strait is the most respected country singer of all-time!!! Willie Nelson may be a national treasure, but nobody has the clout that Strait does!! My favorite song of his is Ocean Front Property.
That's a great one, how did you pick a favorite?, He doesn't have bad songs just ones I like more then others, I really dig I hate everything, run, Amarillo by morning, poison, when the credits roll, so much like my dad
I love seeing folks from different cultures respecting other cultures. Keep it up guys 👍
George isn't one of the King's of country he is the king of country music he has 60 number 1's... But the chair is probably my favorite by him.
Austin M that sly classy George haha.
Austin M amen brother
Poor logic. Jethro Tull once won a best metal Grammy. Sometimes using popularity to decide standard just doesn't work. Thinking like that would make McD's the restaurant chain with the best food.
the chair then the firemen
Austin M I believe he's up around 67 #1s
Cheyenne "The daddy of them all" is basically the world series of the rodeo circuit. Cheyenne, Wy that is.
Lived in Cheyenne. Love/hate with Frontier Days. The population explodes for that week.
The Nat'l Finals Rodeo in Vegas is the Super Bowl of rodeo but Frontier Days in Cheyenne is definitely the Daddy of 'Em All.
You guys really open the eyes of many, thank you!
Midnight in Montgomery by Alan Jackson
I second this
Absolutely love that song!!!
YESSS
Mabye chattahoocce or where wer e you when the world stopped turning
Steve Mitchell Amen!
Brooks and Dunn Neon Moon
MrPain Games absolutely
MrPain Games great song!!
Oh my god yes please
I just found your channel and I'm obsessed!!! As a lifelong country girl I'm loving your takes on these old school country songs! And really love that you called this a "pure country" song bc he was in the movie Pure Country 😊
Try "mama tried" by Merle Haggard. Great song by a guy singing about something real.
Love that song
Holden Smith George Strait sings real songs he's a champion roper
Hell yeah!
Cheyenne frontier days known as the daddy of em all is one of the biggest rodeos in the west held in Cheyenne wyoming
🎵I turned 21 in prison doing life with no parole
This cowboys hat or eight second ride Chris ledoux
this cowboys hat
I would love to see This Cowboy’s Hat
This cowboys hat.
👏👏👏 love that song, saw him do it live in the 90's man it was epic!!
This Cowboy's Hat you gotta do this one
I just don't understand how you don't have millions of subs yet. You guys put out some of the realist content on the web, let alone You Tube. I found your channel on the 46&2 review and binged from there. I have always been a fan of good music ,period, no matter the genre. I really get that coming from both of you as well. And this is coming from a kid who's 80's mixed tapes had everything from Sugar Hill Gang or Woodini to Phil Collins or Megadeath. So I respect the honesty when you say
'no, it's not gonna make the playlist but it is still a good well made song'. or how you just don't get some things. Me for example, with my love of music from classical to contemporary , I just cant seem to get into modern country. I don't know what it is. give me some Men in Black or some Bosefus and its fine though. But after watching so many of your reviews and reactions to all the different genres' I think I owe it another try. So in the interest of free thinking here's a few I highly recommend a good listen and please hit me back with any modern country that will help change my opinion. Thanks and keep the greatness flowing.
Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin
I don't care anymore - Phil Collins
Back in Black - AC/DC
Bury me in Smoke - Down
Day and Night - Kid Cuddi
Jekyll n Hyde - FFDP
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again -Toby Keith
Hurt - Johnny Cash
You guys would get a kick out of George Straight's "The Fireman"
Hell yeah !
👍👍👍👍
Or All My Exes 😄
Salina Roof or anyone of 57 other songs. 😀
Fireman is one of his best.
do "Amarillo by morning" by George Strait
Jacob Woodell man I miss the shit out of Texas every time I hear that song
fuck yes!!
Jacob Woodell I LOVE that song!! Yes! Do that one!!!!
A Father's Love is good too.
Jacob Woodell do it!!!!
George is not one of the kings ?HE is the KING!!!!
AMEN TO THAT
Dont get me wrong George Strait has a ton of good songs but I dont think that makes him the one and only king of country, theres quite a few other great country artists out there who I think have songs that can beat out some of George's best songs. Alan Jackson, Hank Williams, Tobey Kieth, Brooks and Dunn, Alabama, and Waylon Jennings to name a few. George Strait has made a huge contribution to country and again has a lot of great songs but he shouldn't be the "king" that most other country artist are compared to.
Yes, there are a lot of great country artists. But that's literally George's nickname. He's known as The King of Country. It's like how no one tried to claim Prince was also the King of Pop. Yeah, he was good, but that wasn't his nickname. Strait holds the record for most number one albums and singles, gold albums, platinum albums, and multi-platinum in the history of country music. He's definitely the King of Country.
Agreed
Strait is a king but you cant forget Jones. Both them are kings of they own life.
George strait is the best country singer ever!
Yes he’s much better than Garth Brooks, because he’s real country.
Hank wins every time
No, waylon
Jasmin Alexander-Peck Goethe strait is good but George Jones is great
You guys are seriously the best thing on RUclips!!! Keep up the good work 🤠
Earned a sub. This was a surprisingly good review, many people are put off by country, but you gave it a fair listen and found deeper meaning in the lyrics.
And yes, that's me in my profile pic, but I grew up working a farm, with my adoptive parents. This is the only music I listened to growing up. Y'all need to listen to some Civil Wars. Specifically, Poison And Wine. It'll shake you.
Love Civil Wars!!!!! Poison And Wine is awesome!!
If you don't already know, check out gangstagrass
Greatest thing I've seen on RUclips in awhile. I'm from iowa, but live and rodeo in Texas. I listen to hip hop mainly but George Strait is a staple of rodeo life
I recommend Charlie Daniels "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"
John Anderson "Seminole Wind"
Vince Gill "Go Rest High on that Mountain"
I'd skip "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", way too overplayed. Your other two choices are good though.
YES!
Seminole Wind is one of my favorites, lots one can interpret from that song!
Yall need to do troubadour by George strait
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yaaaaaaassssssss
Yes!!!!- troubadour!!!!!!
Yes!! Troubadour!!
Absolutely do that one troubadour
On a sidenote George Strait is the king of country music and if you look him up, he has a world record in any music genera for the most number one hits in the history of music
Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys by Willie Nelson
And Waylon Jennings...
I yes!
@@dbacksfan09 that's no a country song. It's a cowboy song. -Cpl. Ray Pearson
Cowboy in the continental suit
Yes plz one of my favorites
Y’all are great!
I love how you guys are sincerely analyzing this!
Mai Yeev Xiong Yes.. they aren't trashing it. They are trying to decipher what the song means.
GEORGRE STRAIGHT is the man lol. He's the real deal.
I love how you guys do loads of different genres and upload everyday. But I was wondering what the schedule you guys do? Is it random or structured? Because it would be cool if each day of the week you would dedicate it to each genre, so like Monday Hip Hop, Tuesday R&B, Wednesday Rock/ Metal etc... Would be really cool! Just a suggestion :D
My sons favorite Strait song is “I saw God today”
This is the kind of country I listen to not a huge fan of today's country
Deer Chaser now ain't that the truth.
Texas/red dirty country is where it’s at if you want real country
You’re not lookin’ hard enough if you think there’s no good country music being made today.
Chris Stapleton
Josh Ward
Brent Cobb
Zac Brown Band
Sturgill Simpson
There, now you’ve got some names to start digging.
Agree when I go ride bulls at rodeos I listened to old country cause a lot of new country sucks
@@dafunkmonster chris is the only good one
Man, I love your channel. I don't even LIKE country 99% of the time, and you guys helped me find something to appreciate out of this one. As much as you speak to your listeners as free thinkers, this definitely applies to you guys, as well! Thank you again for doing what you do.
Now, I don't know shit about country, so don't know what to suggest there, LOL. You say you like a groove and catchy drumming? I don't care if you even react to the songs on your channel, but you've GOT to listen to "Roll Right" by Rage Against the Machine. Mandatory head bobbing.
Thanks guys!
Roll Right is badass.
Yes, yes it is.
Roll Right is a good song, but maybe not the best choice to introduce them to the band. I really think they should start with Know Your Enemy. It has everything we know they like: Deep lyrics, a good beat, a killer groove, wildly unique guitar playing (for its time), sick transitions, and just an all around representation of everything the band was about and what made them so amazing.
Skinny Buddha also a good one, but the beat and guitar riff on Roll Right are sick and funky as hell. The groove is insane.
Do Garth Brooks Friends in Low Places or George Strait All my exes live in Texas
Cheyenne Wyoming has one of the largest rodeos .....my sons and I traveled all over the US to participate in Rodeos ... best life ever!
Seven Spanish Angels - Ray Charles and Willie Nelson!!
10072018 I STILL listen to that song regularly
Rodeo is in your blood, it goes beyond obsession. People will sacrifice everything to feed that fire!!!!
Back in the day, cowboys had to drive themselves around on the "rodeo circuit". You had to be both lucky and good to make the "short go", that's where the money was. Sometimes just a gold buckle was all you got for all the bruises and broken bones. Lots of good men lost lots of good women, and vice versa. Nice reaction guys
Ugh. It was a horrible life.
I remember when 8 seconds bought me a Jr. Bacon burger at Wendy's, a tank of gas, and my next entry fee. I made a whopping negative 12000 dollars and 2 ex's that take everything
@@jed4426 wut
jed4426 how’s your whata -chicken
@@cwsturgeon lol. Fine. My knees and shoulders? Not so much. :)
That was always such a great part of the song: "She said don't bother coming home..."
I will never hear it the same way again after watching this lmao
you guys shoulda tackled "All My Exes Live in Texas"... great story song I think you woulda got a giggle out of
Ocean Front Property is good too.
If you boys want another Stapleton tune, try "Broken Halos."
And yes. George strait is the king of country.
If you want the heavier "rock country" I recommend Garth Brooks.
Sean K Garth is one of my favorites. Why do you consider "rock country" excluding that album that shall not be named
I have to disagree with you jones is the king man
Jo Dee Messina is a good choice for rock country such as her cover of Delicious Surprise or her song My Give A Damn's Busted.
Cheyenne is an old established rodeo. If the rider gets enough points at these rodeos, he can get a great big buckle and lots of money. Most of the riders just break even at the best or get hurt at the worst. George Straight was in the rodeos some and several of his songs are about that life.
To help ya'll understant, the short go is the finals or semi finals where the money's at.
Susan Mazzanti the first rodeo happens in pecos Texas and Cheyenne is where lane frost the greatest bullrider in the world died July 30,1989
Amarillo by Morning gives a good snapshot into rodeo life...
The King of Country and more importantly Texas Country
King George! Keep up the great work!
Garth Brooks - "Much too young to feel this damn old"
Mike Riddle I can't thumbs up this suggestion enough! Yes lord please!
riversquid Yea, the beginning violin to that song reminds me of greeting the cold morning, the sun beginning to show though still dark, getting into your cold car. But the sound of that echoed violin warms your insides. Yes, they should react to Garth Brooks "Much too Young" (to feel this damn old). Beautiful.
George strait is the GOAT of country
I like the shit out of y'all. Keep up the good work and God bless.
Late 90s to the early 2000s country are the best country.
Glue Guns & Roses
Amen
Absolutely!!!
Glue Guns & Roses 80' s country! Since late 70's.
Glue Guns & Roses YESS!!! It’s when country was country!!!
Facts.. I grew up on it, some good memories this music brings back. George strait is the king.. They should of reacted to "The Chair".
George Jones He Stopped Loving her Today.
Neon Moon by Brooks and Dunn. It's a classic
Dirty Dan it sure is.
Dirty Dan agreed
God yes
B&D is amazing new country
Love you guys!! So great to to see you appreciate different styles of music.
