He is insanely talented. I just went to his show a few days ago and all I could do was cry the whole time he was playing. He’s one of my favorite artists.
Nolan is incredible, def checkout his songs Darkness, Okay, and Double Life (live)! All of his lyrics just grab you and pull you in! Nolan is the future!!
Better yet, imagine having a mother, who hurt you so bad, you made such a beautiful masterpiece talking about cutting her out of your life, and giving a performance that can be felt by all who care to listen.
This evoked so much emotionally from me. I, by the end, was sobbing. Raised by histrionic narcissistic mother, that well was a lot and still is. So i feel him and Oliver Anthony should go out on tour together. Let the music lead their way to healing and inspire others to do the same.
Check out the song by Nolan named DARKNESS. I was lucky enough to catch Nolan here in Houston at a local bar. The show was amazing and I was right up front. Amazing artist who isn't afraid to put it all out there. With everything we are going through right now as a human race, we NEED to make connections like this so we don't feel so alone. 💗
Dude I completely appreciate you covering such a wide variety of artists. Definitely seems like an avenue to really bring great music to light! Super appreciative!
I been watchin your channel for years. It's amazing to see you react to someone I know personally. Tons of people have reached out to him to let him know how much this song has meant to them, which is about his mother. His father, who he mentions in this song, drives to every single show no matter where he's playing. He also just signed with Atlantic Records this summer.
I agree. We need a music revolution and revival in this country. If it comes from us Appalachian hillbillies, even better. I'm hoping the fame of Oliver Anthony brings more attention to artists like Nolan. There are a lot of great artists on RadioWV, AppalachiaUntold, and WesternAF, just to name a few.
WOW! Music and laughter can heal a troubled heart! Love the direction country music is headed! Great reaction and thanks for sharing as this is a new artist for me! Howdy from Texas 🤠
This, like a lot of non-traditional music gets classified as "Country" are not really country. This could be made into a fantastic country song but they way its presented its a cross between folk and late 60s singer song writer style. Unfortunately for Nolan, walking way doesn't mitigate the pain or anger. The anger he is displaying can be consuming and he clearly hasn't walked away from it. I hope making and performing this is helping to release the anger without being consumed.
There are so many amazing artists out there rn. Benjamin Tod, Lost Dog Street Band, The Hill Country Devil, & Oliver Anthony are some of my favorites in this "vein".
Oh my Lord. Don't feel bad for choking up big guy. That one broke me down like a shotgun. I don't know how many songs he has in him but that one is breath taking.
We are getting hit with some very real, true artists with real talent that need to be propped up, Oliver Anthony, Jake Kohn, Nolan Taylor etc etc Gasoline Gypsies, The haunted wind chimes, Joe Stamm
totally agree about propping up mediocre talent propped up by the big companies force feeding it to us on the radio. and then the same songs overplayed crap nonstop on the radio vs real authentic talent like this guy. which is why the big old school companies are freaking out when guys like Oliver Anthony buck the system and go viral without them
False... if anything, ole Oliver is a copy of Nolan... Nolan has been at this music thing quite a bit longer than the latest flash in the pan media driven folk hero. Just because you heard Oliver first, doesn't mean everyone you hear after is his copy... ..
I've watched this man come from hole in the wall open mic to what he's achieving now over the course of 4 or 5 years. If you knew anything the current Appalachian scene you'd know there are quite a few artists "like Oliver" who have been at it much longer than he has. If it looks visually familiar, it's because Radio WV does most of their filming in the woods like they did with Oliver.
He killed this. There are so many dope artists out there!!!
Ohio boy too

Imagine writing that song ... about your mother. He's such an artist.
Better yet, imagine having a mother, who hurt you so bad, you made such a beautiful masterpiece talking about cutting her out of your life, and giving a performance that can be felt by all who care to listen.
I just cant believe more people haven't reacted to this performance its freaking good thanks man

Wicked ways by him is really good as well!

Great reaction..The emotion in your face is haunting I love it.

Wow great song, musically well done and emotionally engaging.
Love this song. Sad anyone should ever have to write a song like this.
Whoa chills. This transcends country for certain.

If that last spoken "I'm through with you" doesn't send chills... you ain't alive.
I forgot how much this song touched my soul a year ago. Thanks for reacting to it❤

I couldn't understand all the words but I felt all that pain😢
Nolan Taylor's songs are just amazing. Check out Darkness next.
Been waiting for you to stumble onto this. Great stuff.
More need to hear this amazing artist.
“Okay “!!! By Nolan is amazing!!!
He is incredible!!! You should check out Darkness. He has incredible lyrics...he's so good
Darkness and Wicked Ways
Wow!!! I felt all that pain. He’s amazing
Omg that voice man
Found this song today... Instant favourite ❤️

Goosebumps all over
I thought he’d go viral before Oliver Anthony. This song is certainly as close to my life as what we heard in Rich Men North of Richmond.
He great! Glad you found him.
Give Morgan Wade - The Night a go! I believe you'll be surprised...
Oh i have been waiting for this!!
Oo my how I miss this ! I’ve been addicted to Nolan’s music
Awesome reaction.
Thank you so much for the reaction!
He makes me cry and I’m a 62 year old man
Your comments are always so thoughtful. I love your videos.
Respect your reaction and commentary MRLBoyd!
This song breaks my heart every time I hear it.
Very,nice,song
Oh my Lord.
Don't feel bad for choking up big guy. That one broke me down like a shotgun.
I don't know how many songs he has in him but that one is breath taking.
I spent the last month so angry at the drug addicted mother that I never had, thanks to this song. It’s tragically beautiful
Radiowv has some amazing souls singing good songs. Recomend their playlist
I listen to all his music I wouldn’t say this is even top 3 of his songs he’s amazing.
That was brilliant!
I can show you how to play it, well you can practice and do it yourself. One of my fav's for sure.
Something like, "Appalatchian Emo", would be a better classification I think.
You can always tell a good song when the reaction doesn't say a fking word 👊🏼
some songs you just do not pause. well done sir
"Darkness" by this same artist next
His song called "Darkness " is one you should check out.
I believe this is from radiowv same people the found Oliver Anthony
We are getting hit with some very real, true artists with real talent that need to be propped up, Oliver Anthony, Jake Kohn, Nolan Taylor etc etc Gasoline Gypsies, The haunted wind chimes, Joe Stamm
Check out Darkness by Nolan Taylor. It's way deeper than this one.
Great review thanks

Get him on The Voice!!
Demons by Chris huntt jr is also a banger... and on that same channel
I feel like real music is coming back
If you have mama addiction issues, this is it... To a t relatable
He still couldn't say no to her because we are who we are
❤
👍🏽
Feels like thete is
He's better than Oliver Anthony. Vocally anyway.
Hmmm, thia looks like someone has already done this before
Hmmm! Lwt mw think , Oh Ya!!! Oliver Anthony
Hmmm looks like this song came out 8 months before Oliver Anthony but nice try dip shit
