The thing I love about Orville Peck is that he really gives back the story telling of older country music, that was sort of lost with things like stadium country, where it's beers and women and tractors.
@@michaelinthebathroom7560 Omg yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of. Country music kinda just got jealous of rap for awhile, but it's (hopefully) coming back to its roots.
@@clownyApologies I've listened to country music my whole life, and I was never really into the whole stadium country thing. For a long time I listened to what was on the radio, but eventually I found a station that plays classic country and I LARGELY prefer that. Can't even tell you the last time I listened to a radio station that plays current country. I will say I'm a fan of Luke Combs, Hardy and Lainey Wilson the most out of all the newer artists, though.
@@michaelinthebathroom7560 I really only listen to classic country to, largely Marty Robins and Willie Nelson, because those are my all time favorites.
@@godzeven Nah, Ned Sublette wrote it in New York City in 1981 at the peak of the Urban Cowboy craze. He wrote it on the piano at a gay western bar called Boots and Saddles. Nelson heard the song in 1988 when the bassist for SNL, Tony Garnier, introduced him to the song. Willie would play it often for folks over the years before recording a cover in 2006 in the wake of Brokeback Mountain.
Please please PLEASE do a part 2 and include “Let Me Drown” (live in Nashville). I get full body goosebumps EVERY time I watch that performance. Everything about it is top notch.
The more you hear Orville, the more you love him. All the videos are tied together with a bevy of actors, singers, and comedians in the background playing supporting roles... Elvis's grand-daughter, Noah Cyrus, Margaret Cho, Diplo, a bevy of famous Drag Queens... he writes most of his own music and was trained in classical ballet. He is currently in a relationship with a handsome man named Billy. I discovered him through listening to the music of Trixie Mattel when I watched the video for "Jackson" and heard his voice. At first line i had to look him up and have been captivated ever since. Look up unriteous brothers and watch the two vids he did: unchined melody and loving feeling... the notes he hits are amazing!
Hell yeah! I love Orville. Would love to see you react to more of him, specifically “Queen of the Rodeo”, “Roses are Falling” (which is a love song), “Curse of the Blackened Eye”, “Drive Me Crazy”, and “Let Me Drown”. 😊
IT IS ABOUT TIME, WILLIAM! Edited to add - "Hope to Die" was the first song of Orville's that I heard - I think I left a comment on the video like "Who is this man and how does he have a voice like warm caramel??"
Oh, how I wish you had listened to Let Me Drown (live recording). I didn't know much about country music before, but Orville Peck is in his own league, both traditional and completely new and refreshing. And so beautifully queer.
The collaboration with Shania Twain is a big thing because she was also a trailblazer, and controversial country artist when she released her first song. The video got banned from being played on country channels because she *showed her mid drift*. She wasn't afraid to do her own thing with country. Do a Shania Twain stan and go with: "what made you say that" (her first release), "Man I feel like a women", "That don't impress me much", "I'm gonna getcha good", and "Up"
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ASWERED, I am so excited to watch this. edit: Ok I watched, this was brilliant! I just love the care you always take to listen to the whole song and then properly disect the lyrics. Orville pecks work is so layered into his lyrics, but also so much of it is expiriencing the soaring strength of his vocals. you always really honor the work that an artists has put into crafting every song. for more song suggestions I would recommend Let Me Drown (live), Curse of the Blackened Eye, Daytona Sand, and Jackson (duet with Trixie Mattel)
I know it was overwhelming to listen to so many sad songs but I’m so glad you listened to hope to die it’s one of my favourite Orville Peck songs and it’s always nice to see your thoughts on songs bc you’re so thoughtful
The way I've been WAITING for an Orville Peck video from you! I'm glad you enjoyed the queer cowboy. Absolutely agree with others for recommendations of a part 2 with "Let Me Drown" (Live video is BREATHTAKING), "Daytona Sand" (happy!), & "Queen of the Rodeo". "Hexie Mountains" is a personal favorite of mine, has a very nostalgic and soothing feel.
You nailed it on what us 'Peckers' have been feeling about Orville since 2019. After I started sending out his tracks to my friends, they all gravitated to his music as well...pretty much instantly. He definitely carved out his own niche and it's almost a genre of its own. I'm not much of a country fan, and I don't see this as being country either. Very unique and totally enthralling. Other tracks that I really enjoy are Kalahari Down and every track from his new release Stampede, which just came out. ps: and I don't think 'Peckers' is an actual thing, I just made it up - but it kind of made sense to me on a couple levels. LOL. Keep up the great job Bill and your authenticity really came out in this video.
you should do a trying to stan Kesha! her gag order album was a work of ART. + bonus songs praying and joy ride. id react in order of praying (music video) - gag order album - joy ride shes finally free of her abusive producer and praying is a beautiful, painful ode to him, Gag order was her processing the situation, and joy ride is the first single as an independent artist! im so proud of her and her music has grown to be so unique and so her!
Ive loved Kesha since her TikTok days. I’m close to her age and each album I have been able to relate to because she has been though it! She also has never lost her happiness and trying to be better and trying to love all. Gag Order is one of my favorite albums of hers and maybe one of my all time favorite albums. but I honestly love to listen to it all the way though. Not that it doesn’t have some bangers. But it’s kinda of cathartic. 🖤
I loved watching your reactions. They're was so insightful and honest and heartfelt and I love how the music really connects with you. I love how you're not afraid to let it affect you. You really need to do a deep dive on Orville Peck. Based on what you've said you like about him, there's so much more, and I think you'll just adore it. Also... you don't need to apologize for picking a lot of break-up/heartbreak songs. Trying to avoid them in Orville Peck's discography is like navigating a minefield. As for recommendations, my favourite song of his is 'Let Me Drown' which is the best example of his soaring vocals really going for broke, but be warned, that one absolutely wrecks me every time.
The first song was actually Willie Nelson’s song, but I love that Orville Peck did it as an open gay country singer. He was at the calgary stampede a few days ago and there was soooo many people to watch him perform. It was also cool because there was an art display of famous country singers made out of flowers, and he was included with the greats!
It actually isn't Willie's song either, he covered it in the early 2000's but the original version was written in 1981 by a Latino country artist named Ned Sublette!!
The Curse of the Blackened Eye is a devastating beautiful music video! I hope you react to in a part 2 (it deals with recovering from a dv relationship)
I ASKED YOU TO REACT TO ORVILLE ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2022!!!!! this is the most exciting this ever!! i've been preaching to all of react youtube for years now lol
Orville Peck did a couple song covers I really like, he did a cover of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way and another of Reba McIntyre’s Fancy. They’re fantastic
im SO HAPPY YOU DID THIS and strong recommendation that you listen to his songs Drive Me Crazy, Daytona Sand, Curse of the Blackened Eye, and of course youd love his version of Born This Way. thanks sm for everything :)
you have a very nice song lineup!! love your interpretations, great video once again! i highly recommend also checking out let me drown, esp live recording version!! in your own time if not for a video, it's just very special and his vocals are insane
Loved this. Thank you. If you do a part 2 to this, may I please request you react to "How Far Will We Take It," "Daytona Sand," and "Midnight Ride"? Liked and shared.
I have listened to bits of Orville Peck, and always loved his voice, but never really listened in depth. Your video has inspired me to take a deeper listen, so thank you. Thank you also for your emotional honesty. It is inspirational to see someone who is so open with their feelings. My favourite Orville Peck song so far is his cover of Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy, which is an iconic 1980’s song about a young gay man who is bullied and runs away from home. As well as the original having an amazing volcano range, which Orville Peck covers excellently, I love that a gay artist today is covering a song that was so significant to me as a queer youth growing up under section 28 here in the UK. Section 28 was the UK’s “Don’t say gay” law, which was brought into law by Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government in 1988 when I was 6 years old, and remained active throughout my schooling and teaching career, only repealed in 2003, when I was 22. The impact of growing up under that legislation is immense, and I am still feeling the hurt now.
Pleaaaaase please do a "trying to stan" video the soundtrack of "Epic the musical". It's a concept album made by content creator jorge rivera and has been going viral lately !!!
I actually recently have been getting really into Orville in the last couple months and also finally watched Brokeback Mountain for the first time during pride month which hit really hard as a gay guy from the south and honestly having brokeback mountain fresh in my mind while listening to Orville's music really helps paint a very vivid but somber picture of like rural isolated queer people just trying to get by while also trying to be themselves and it's a very moving subject to explore even if it's not a very happy one.
I've known of Orville Peck for a while now and even watched interviews of him, but I've never actually taken the time to really listen to his music till now. It sounds so nostalgic, like a lot of the music my grandmother would listen to. I can easily imagine seeing her slow dancing to a lot of and it makes me kind of emotional to think about. 🥲Great choice and great video!
I was lucky enough to get a last minute ticket to his show in nola, and it was worth the vip price tag (and i got a signed poster out if it too) if you want more "fun" songs: daytona sand, lafayette, blush, bronco, any turn, and his cover of "fancy" are all great sadder songs that are gorgeous to the ears: kalahari down, hexie mountains, let me drown, queen of the rodeo, turn to hate he also did a fun cover of "Jackson" with trixie mattel thats worth checking out tbh you cant go wrong, the man does not know how to write a bad song
I always love watching you videos and love hear your thoughts of the music. I'm not sure if you've done a "trying to stan" video on melanie martinez but I'd love to hear your thoughts her music.
I discoveref Peck the spring/summer of 2020 when i was feeling super lonely. It really justvresonated with me well isoating. I can remember siting in my car outside the local Laundromat just lisyening keeping myself occupied.
I love your reactions so much, your one of the few reactions channels I watch pretty consistently! Some artists I recommend to try are "Everyone's worried about Owen" and the songs from "Epic: the musical", which is fantastic and needs more love :]
Wooo new bill content!!! Also you should check out “Epic the Musical”, it’s a musical about a Greek myth all written by this one guy who plays the main character. It’s like a mix of storytelling and music and it has a lot of inspo from video games and stuff. It’s rlly cool!! It comes out in sagas, 6 are out so far :D
Roses are Falling, No Glory In The West, and Big Sky are some of my absolute favorites of his. Honorable mention for his and Trixie's cover of "Jackson" by Johnny Cash
I haven't read through all the comments, but yes, that IS him dancing in Hope to Die. Orville was in ballet for 12 years, and he also did musical theater and was in national touring companies in Canada for a few years. Another fun fact - he was also the drummer in a punk band. The man is fucking talented as fuck.
ah i was just rewatching this series earlier! if you’re open to suggestions you should try to stan addison grace! he’s kinda like cavetown (they even toured together recently)
I love come on baby cry. To me it's a coming out song. Orville is encouraging all the sad boys like him to let it out and stop hiding their true feelings. And as the song progresses the hostile bar full of toxic men transforms around the guy in the closet into a welcoming place of safety as he gets the courage to let himself cry it all out.
I would love to see you react to EPIC: The musical. I’ve discovered it recently and it’s amazing. It’s based on Homer’s Odyssey. The narrative trough the music, effects and the characters is fantastic and emotional. It’s a journey to listen to it ❤
ORVILLE 😍😍😍 what a voice, right?! I’ve said this a few times already (so I’m very sorry if this is annoying), but I think you would love Bastille! You should absolutely check them out/react to them! Some songs I’d recommend are: • Glory • Blue Sky & the Painter • Those Nights • Another Place • The Draw • Flaws • Fake It (but skip the music video, do the Vevo Presents performance instead) • Quarter Past Midnight • No Bad Days • Intros & Narrators
You should try some Shawn James music. He's not country, but similar feels and similarly strong vocals. Definitely some of the most soulful and deeply emotional lyrics in his genre, which is listed as "singer-songwriter", but has heavy blues, gospel, and Americana influences. Definitely worth looking into, especially with the kind of music you tend to enjoy the most in these videos.
Hi I love your reactions I was wondering if you’ll be willing to do a reaction to DPR Ian or just the DPR guys in general. I feel like you’ll enjoy them.
Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other is a classic. Love Willie’s version, tho I must admit Pansy Division’s is my favorite. But PD are always top tier.
Orville Peck is amazing and I love his style! I'd love to see what you think of other queer country artists like Adeem the Artist and Amythyst Kiah! I feel like you'd really dig Reclaim My Name by Adeem and Wild Turkey by Amythyst
You should really REALLY check out Epic the Musical. It will give you every feeling, music genre, style EVERYTHING 🎉 pls do the animatics bc it makes the experience so so much better
As awesome as this was it really lacked the best of his work. Bronco has so many masterpieces: The curse of the blackened eye, Kalahari down, Hexie Mountains, Let me drown.. and of course, if you like the happy ones, Daytona Sand (which was my very first introduction to Orville's work). From the recent work his Stampede vol.1 has mind-blowing good duets, like "How far will we take ir" with Noah Curys, and "Miénteme" with Bu Cuaron. Just sooooo many good songs. Honestly, the ones you picked are good but not great.
hi bill! i’d love for you to check out the kpop boy group ATEEZ. their discography is incredibly diverse so there’s a guarantee whatever you click on will be something new! they also just recently performed as coachella which was a huge milestone in their career and i can guarantee you wouldn’t regret checking them out! not only are their songs incredible but they are solid with vocals, dance, and performance (named ‘performance kings’ by many experts). TRYING MY BEST TO CONVINCE YOU! i hope you’ll consider, have a lovely day :)
I like his more country tracks. Hexie Mountains, Lafayette, City of Gold, Papa Was a Rodeo and Hurtin Kind are genius. Im less fond of his pop stuff with Shania and Kylie. Im just not a pop gay.
Hey! new to the channel love the reacts! Would you be willing to react to Melanie Martinez? I think she would be in your wheelhouse, and she has really great/meaningful visuals
If you're going to do another Orville Peck video (which I personally would love, but no pressure) might I recommend l, in no particular order, Roses are Falling, Kansas (Remembers Me Now), Take You Back (The Iron Hoof Cattle Call), Outta Time, and Lafayette
yes, bill, ''horny'' is the correct response to orville's singing and him on screen.
I'm not 100% on my music theory, but I believe the opposite of "musical and narrative climax" is "musical and narrative edging" 👀
The thing I love about Orville Peck is that he really gives back the story telling of older country music, that was sort of lost with things like stadium country, where it's beers and women and tractors.
That description brings Bo Burnham's Country Song (Pandering) to mind. I completely agree.
@@michaelinthebathroom7560 Omg yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of. Country music kinda just got jealous of rap for awhile, but it's (hopefully) coming back to its roots.

the first song is actually by a latin artist, and then it was covered by willie nelson, and then orville covered it with willie
It’s also been covered by a band named Pansy Division, a queer punk band so it’s gone through various interpretations
Yeah, it’s a 43 year-old song. Crazy.
The original Latin artist was also thinking of Willie Nelson when he made the song if I'm correct
@@godzeven Nah, Ned Sublette wrote it in New York City in 1981 at the peak of the Urban Cowboy craze. He wrote it on the piano at a gay western bar called Boots and Saddles.
Nelson heard the song in 1988 when the bassist for SNL, Tony Garnier, introduced him to the song. Willie would play it often for folks over the years before recording a cover in 2006 in the wake of Brokeback Mountain.

This
YES!!!! OMG that song gets me every time and it's so beautiful. God I love Orville so much.
Seconding this hardcore.
The more you hear Orville, the more you love him. All the videos are tied together with a bevy of actors, singers, and comedians in the background playing supporting roles... Elvis's grand-daughter, Noah Cyrus, Margaret Cho, Diplo, a bevy of famous Drag Queens... he writes most of his own music and was trained in classical ballet. He is currently in a relationship with a handsome man named Billy. I discovered him through listening to the music of Trixie Mattel when I watched the video for "Jackson" and heard his voice. At first line i had to look him up and have been captivated ever since. Look up unriteous brothers and watch the two vids he did: unchined melody and loving feeling... the notes he hits are amazing!
It is him dancing! He used to be a ballet dancer. I feel like you can definitely see that influence by the way he uses his hands
Daytona Sand and Drive Me Crazy would be a great additional (happy) orville songs to listen to in a possible (hopefully) part 2
Hell yeah! I love Orville. Would love to see you react to more of him, specifically “Queen of the Rodeo”, “Roses are Falling” (which is a love song), “Curse of the Blackened Eye”, “Drive Me Crazy”, and “Let Me Drown”. 😊
I second this, especially curse of the blackened eye!!
Curse of the Blackened Eye is just soooo good!
IT IS ABOUT TIME, WILLIAM!
Edited to add - "Hope to Die" was the first song of Orville's that I heard - I think I left a comment on the video like "Who is this man and how does he have a voice like warm caramel??"
Oh, how I wish you had listened to Let Me Drown (live recording). I didn't know much about country music before, but Orville Peck is in his own league, both traditional and completely new and refreshing. And so beautifully queer.
This!
Let Me Drown and Kalahari Down ruin me ❤
Agreed!
Oh yes. His best song IMHO. Just pure art, I get chills every single time.
Once you find Orville, there is no going back! He is a musical gem!
The collaboration with Shania Twain is a big thing because she was also a trailblazer, and controversial country artist when she released her first song. The video got banned from being played on country channels because she *showed her mid drift*. She wasn't afraid to do her own thing with country.
Do a Shania Twain stan and go with: "what made you say that" (her first release), "Man I feel like a women", "That don't impress me much", "I'm gonna getcha good", and "Up"
Yessss!!!!! I just got to see him in concert and he has one of the most gorgeous voices I’ve ever heard.
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ASWERED, I am so excited to watch this.
edit: Ok I watched, this was brilliant! I just love the care you always take to listen to the whole song and then properly disect the lyrics. Orville pecks work is so layered into his lyrics, but also so much of it is expiriencing the soaring strength of his vocals. you always really honor the work that an artists has put into crafting every song.
for more song suggestions I would recommend Let Me Drown (live), Curse of the Blackened Eye, Daytona Sand, and Jackson (duet with Trixie Mattel)
god, i really hope you dive into Orville further. his music vids are all great and Bronco is one off my all-time favourite albums
Bronco is so underrated!!! Truly one of the best albums from that year; I was shocked that it got zero Grammy noms.
Bronco is so strong from start to finish.
If you listen to one one more Orville song, let it be Let Me Drown (Live Version). It's a game changer.
Curse Of The Blackened Eye is a great video.
I know it was overwhelming to listen to so many sad songs but I’m so glad you listened to hope to die it’s one of my favourite Orville Peck songs and it’s always nice to see your thoughts on songs bc you’re so thoughtful

If you do more I recommend "Drive Me, Crazy" "Kalahari Down" "Queen of the Rodeo" and "Let Me Drown" Honestly any song you choose is good.
5:21 YES HE IS SO FUCKING HOT AND THE MASK IS A BIG PART
The Curse of the Blackened Eye is a devastating beautiful music video! I hope you react to in a part 2 (it deals with recovering from a dv relationship)
I ASKED YOU TO REACT TO ORVILLE ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2022!!!!! this is the most exciting this ever!! i've been preaching to all of react youtube for years now lol
Orville Peck did a couple song covers I really like, he did a cover of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way and another of Reba McIntyre’s Fancy. They’re fantastic
I love Orville!! Im going to see him in October!!!
So lucky!
Ah awesome!!! Have fun! :>
He is so amazing live! Bring him a rose.
im SO HAPPY YOU DID THIS and strong recommendation that you listen to his songs Drive Me Crazy, Daytona Sand, Curse of the Blackened Eye, and of course youd love his version of Born This Way. thanks sm for everything :)
I am a bit sad that you didn't include Let Me Drown in this, but you did pick a really good playlist all the same.
Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other is a song with some cool history if you ever have the time to look it up.
im aware lol i did mention the history in the video
you have a very nice song lineup!! love your interpretations, great video once again! i highly recommend also checking out let me drown, esp live recording version!! in your own time if not for a video, it's just very special and his vocals are insane
He literally was the reason I came out 😘
:')
OMG the video I didn't know I was waiting for 🤩
Loved this. Thank you.
If you do a part 2 to this, may I please request you react to "How Far Will We Take It," "Daytona Sand," and "Midnight Ride"?
Liked and shared.
We all need to start a petition to get him to cover Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club.
I have listened to bits of Orville Peck, and always loved his voice, but never really listened in depth. Your video has inspired me to take a deeper listen, so thank you.

yes. i'm so glad you're checking his music out, Bill.
A part 2 of Trying to Stan: Orville Peck needs to happen. Still hoping Bill does a Trying to Stan: Kimbra. 😁
Definitely listen to “Let me drown” and his newest song “Permanently Lonely”, which I’ve had on repeat for a week now.
Guess I need to listen to Orville Peck now
Loved watching you discover Orville Peck. He's amazing. So much talent ❤and in case you're still wondering, he's the one dancing.
I actually recently have been getting really into Orville in the last couple months and also finally watched Brokeback Mountain for the first time during pride month which hit really hard as a gay guy from the south and honestly having brokeback mountain fresh in my mind while listening to Orville's music really helps paint a very vivid but somber picture of like rural isolated queer people just trying to get by while also trying to be themselves and it's a very moving subject to explore even if it's not a very happy one.

I was lucky enough to get a last minute ticket to his show in nola, and it was worth the vip price tag (and i got a signed poster out if it too)
if you want more "fun" songs: daytona sand, lafayette, blush, bronco, any turn, and his cover of "fancy" are all great
sadder songs that are gorgeous to the ears: kalahari down, hexie mountains, let me drown, queen of the rodeo, turn to hate
he also did a fun cover of "Jackson" with trixie mattel thats worth checking out
tbh you cant go wrong, the man does not know how to write a bad song
Blush doesn't get enough attention, and Hexie Mountain is so real!
I always love watching you videos and love hear your thoughts of the music. I'm not sure if you've done a "trying to stan" video on melanie martinez but I'd love to hear your thoughts her music.

Commenting early in the video crossing my fingers that you listen to cmon baby cry 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
YES
Wooo new bill content!!! Also you should check out “Epic the Musical”, it’s a musical about a Greek myth all written by this one guy who plays the main character. It’s like a mix of storytelling and music and it has a lot of inspo from video games and stuff. It’s rlly cool!! It comes out in sagas, 6 are out so far :D
Thanks for checking out Orville!!!
Nah Bill, this just means that now we can have a Trying to Stan Shania Twain because I feel like it'll be fantastic
Mask Daddy reminds me of Soup 👑
I laughed at that one
I really love Daytona sand, the curse of the blackened eye. Jackson with trixie Mattel is an upbeat song and Lafayette
The Chicken Ranch is actually a brothel. Dolly was in a movie about it.
yup. gotta be careful with my verbiage though since i need ads/donos for food
Roses are Falling, No Glory In The West, and Big Sky are some of my absolute favorites of his. Honorable mention for his and Trixie's cover of "Jackson" by Johnny Cash
I really hope you do more OP, specifically "Hexie Mountain," "Let Me Drown," and "No Glory in the West."
Ur so real for finding the mask hot
My favorite artist.
I haven't read through all the comments, but yes, that IS him dancing in Hope to Die. Orville was in ballet for 12 years, and he also did musical theater and was in national touring companies in Canada for a few years. Another fun fact - he was also the drummer in a punk band. The man is fucking talented as fuck.
heck yes!
Yesss!!!!
Oh, and that is definitely him dancing - he trained in ballet.
hell yes
YES
Going off this video, i bet you'd love Amigo the Devil
YEEESSSS HELL YEAH FINALLY 🎉🎉🎉
ah i was just rewatching this series earlier! if you’re open to suggestions you should try to stan addison grace! he’s kinda like cavetown (they even toured together recently)
I love come on baby cry.
To me it's a coming out song. Orville is encouraging all the sad boys like him to let it out and stop hiding their true feelings.
And as the song progresses the hostile bar full of toxic men transforms around the guy in the closet into a welcoming place of safety as he gets the courage to let himself cry it all out.
I would love to see you react to EPIC: The musical. I’ve discovered it recently and it’s amazing. It’s based on Homer’s Odyssey. The narrative trough the music, effects and the characters is fantastic and emotional. It’s a journey to listen to it ❤
ORVILLE 😍😍😍 what a voice, right?!
I’ve said this a few times already (so I’m very sorry if this is annoying), but I think you would love Bastille! You should absolutely check them out/react to them!
Some songs I’d recommend are:
• Glory
• Blue Sky & the Painter
• Those Nights
• Another Place
• The Draw
• Flaws
• Fake It (but skip the music video, do the Vevo Presents performance instead)
• Quarter Past Midnight
• No Bad Days
• Intros & Narrators
You should try some Shawn James music. He's not country, but similar feels and similarly strong vocals. Definitely some of the most soulful and deeply emotional lyrics in his genre, which is listed as "singer-songwriter", but has heavy blues, gospel, and Americana influences. Definitely worth looking into, especially with the kind of music you tend to enjoy the most in these videos.
Honestly now we need a Shania video, she’s a queen
Hi
I love your reactions
I was wondering if you’ll be willing to do a reaction to DPR Ian or just the DPR guys in general. I feel like you’ll enjoy them.
Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other is a classic. Love Willie’s version, tho I must admit Pansy Division’s is my favorite. But PD are always top tier.
Orville Peck is amazing and I love his style! I'd love to see what you think of other queer country artists like Adeem the Artist and Amythyst Kiah! I feel like you'd really dig Reclaim My Name by Adeem and Wild Turkey by Amythyst
You should really REALLY check out Epic the Musical. It will give you every feeling, music genre, style EVERYTHING 🎉 pls do the animatics bc it makes the experience so so much better
Drive Me Crazy!!
As awesome as this was it really lacked the best of his work. Bronco has so many masterpieces: The curse of the blackened eye, Kalahari down, Hexie Mountains, Let me drown.. and of course, if you like the happy ones, Daytona Sand (which was my very first introduction to Orville's work). From the recent work his Stampede vol.1 has mind-blowing good duets, like "How far will we take ir" with Noah Curys, and "Miénteme" with Bu Cuaron. Just sooooo many good songs. Honestly, the ones you picked are good but not great.
The new country album from Thethirdbill: Margaritas, Piña Coladas, 9/11
if you're doing more orville peck i really recommend the duet with noah cyrus, How Far Will We Take It
IT'S TIIIIIMEEEEE
You need to do Orville and Trixie Matel!!
Do trying to stan Bug hunter! His character kinda looks like you!
Also if you're looking for more queer country, I highly recommend Amythyst Kiah! Queer black folk/country/blues/alt singer!
Killjoy and the cutthroats kind of sounds like orville peck, I'd suggest listening if you like him, he only has 3 songs out though
Hi Bill, you should try to stan Clancy, the new twenty one pilots album!!
hi! love your vids ngl:) could you maybe try to stan Ricky Jamaraz? he’a a really cool dude
Okay, now you gotta react to Shania Twain
He should check out epic the musical
hi bill! i’d love for you to check out the kpop boy group ATEEZ. their discography is incredibly diverse so there’s a guarantee whatever you click on will be something new! they also just recently performed as coachella which was a huge milestone in their career and i can guarantee you wouldn’t regret checking them out! not only are their songs incredible but they are solid with vocals, dance, and performance (named ‘performance kings’ by many experts). TRYING MY BEST TO CONVINCE YOU! i hope you’ll consider, have a lovely day :)
*Howdiness intensifies* 🤠🤠🤠
bill !!! please please react to conan gray's new album
I like his more country tracks. Hexie Mountains, Lafayette, City of Gold, Papa Was a Rodeo and Hurtin Kind are genius. Im less fond of his pop stuff with Shania and Kylie. Im just not a pop gay.
Please react to Epic the music.
Hey! new to the channel love the reacts! Would you be willing to react to Melanie Martinez? I think she would be in your wheelhouse, and she has really great/meaningful visuals
Bill is gay?
You talk way too much and the clips of the music too short
If you're going to do another Orville Peck video (which I personally would love, but no pressure) might I recommend l, in no particular order, Roses are Falling, Kansas (Remembers Me Now), Take You Back (The Iron Hoof Cattle Call), Outta Time, and Lafayette
