I was in the same unit as Jamey Johnson while I was in the Corps. He always had his guitar and was playing and singing whenever we got down time. We knew he was going to be big.
Thank You for your service! I’m a Marine Corps Brat born at Camp Pendleton and lived at Parris Island and my father was one of the Chosin Survivor and then survived the Mekong Delta and Khe Sanh. I tremendously appreciate Jamey Johnson music.
Same I used to listen to this with my gpa who was a Vietnam vet (101st 68-70) and he used to sing “that was my machine gunner ole Bobby lee” Private Lee was Kia in May 1969. In my grandfather’s words “ the last time I saw him he was covering the withdrawal of the wia and Kia. When we found him he was dead in his last known spot with only one clip left. Private lee should have one a Medal of Honor that day, hell they all should have” he wrote that in his journal that he kept throughout the war
DrT 2000 yup my grandfathers feet got to him as well. Started there and the infection got to his heart. A lot of Vietnam vets got very sick following the war and didn’t receive proper treatment makes me sick
I worked on Jamey Johnson's personal home in Alabama and its just a small 2 bed/2 bath 1500 sq ft. bungalow...Jamey is truly a great down to earth kind of guy and who hasn't forgotten of where he came from...i can't say enough good things about Jamey Johnson!
mattmann111 I got to meet him a few years back at a small gig he did here in GA, and I would say the same thing. Super nice dude and very appreciative of his fans.
My Grandma's husband is one of the last surviving WWII vets around, and whenever I hear that line in this song, "This one here's taken over seas in the middle of Hell in 1943" it always brings a tear to my eye because of how good we got it in the modern day and age and how many people either don't care or almost spit on that. That doesn't sit well with me.
djjazzyjeff123 My grandfather was in WWII and I heard all sorts of stories from my father who also was in the Army and I happened to be born 15 years before he retired. Getting all these stories and whatnot always made me super interested as to what happened back then cause my grandfather was a gunner in a B17 Bomber so he was hardly ever on the ground. All cause of grandpa, I’m beginning my schooling in military history, more specifically WWI and WWII. Going to base my life around that to make sure that they’re not forgotten. I hate how all of the hardships like that are being pushed aside today and can’t stand the thought of it suddenly disappearing as though it never even happened.
To your grandpa... Thank you so much for doing what you did. We wouldn't be here without y'all. From a brother veteran. You were the bar that we all strived to reach.
They don't call the "Greatest Generation" for nothing. 1943 was a very ugly year for the 8th USAAF ... 4 miles up, frozen, wind chill down below 20⁰, a mess. Schweinfurt
Can I just say thank you for coming into country music with an open mind. The stories these artists portray are just amazing. It's refreshing to hear people that don't normally listen to country actually pay attention to what these artists are putting out there
You guys take the time to listen to so many songs at our request. It would be nice if, at the end of each of your videos, you request a song for us to listen to. We could then respond with our opinions of that song on your video of the request with the #songtitle
I am an Alabama girl living in the United Kingdom. I have just discovered yalls reaction videos to country music and OMG I am obsessed!! It helps me deal with homesickness to feel like I am introducing someone to country music for the first time who actually appreciates it. Keep goin! Will send requests once I know what all yall got! Thank you.
This is one of my FAVORITE country songs. I love the grit to his voice as he explains his story. The guitar is amazingly soulful giving hints of both passion and longing for those gone times. I'm glad you guys did this one. I thought I clicked fast when I saw metallica but this one I nearly cracked the sound barrier. I'm glad you guys broke it down like that n had the thoughts that you did. Keep it up.
Jamey Johnson - The high cost of living One of the best songs ever written if you've ever known anyone with addiction. Shit will make you cry. The music video is great too
I can’t tell you how happy this made me, I LOVE that song. And not only that... I love how open and honest you guys are. It’s so refreshing to see more people breaking down barriers like, hey this ain’t too bad if you give it a chance. I myself unapologetically enjoy everything from Metallica to Jamey Johnson to Josh Groban to Tupac to classical and even Gospel. Keep it up guys
"Oh and this one here was taken over seas In the middle of hell in 1943 In the winter time, you can almost see my breath" They kinda missed the point he's talking about being in World War 2.
I agree brother. It makes me think how war drew all together and others lives were placed above your own and people of all walks of life from all over our great nation united to JUST MAKE IT THROUGH ALIVE. Love it
@@griffinwiegert527 its okay, it was awesome that they appreciated the song. Everyone has a different history and to some it may mean different things. Especially based on age, for older people and for the newer generation. For me, I hope we can get to a place like in WWII where we all came together as a nation and believed in freedom and would die for it to protect those we do not even know, no matter where we came from. We were all Americans.
Jamey Johnson is my favorite current country artist, the man is a legend before his time. His back story coming into the country music scene is really amazing. The struggle was real for him in life and you can feel how genuine his music and stories are. Great video guys glad to see you visit this one.
So many people in are society right now need to do exactly what you guys said at the beginning of this video. Just sit back gather information then come up with a opinion. Keep up the good work guys I love your open minded approach
Almost home ,Craig Morgan Blues man ,hank Williams jr Blue eyes crying in the rain,Willie Nelson Angel flying to close to the ground,Willie nelson Tin man ,Miranda Lambert Footlights ,merle haggard Way I am ,merle haggard.. Just a few you should really try..oh and one more Old man and his horn, Gene watson,,
Justa Guy Have you heard “kicked out of country” by George Strait? Written by JJ and Strait together after a conversation they had about not getting radio play.
“The mainstream isn’t an accurate representations of the whole genre” Truth. That whole section about being a student of the genre is spot on. Thanks guys.
Always glad to see people that give country an unbiased chance. I have to reccomend Something to be Proud Of, by Montgomery Gentry. I always remember this song when i hear that, and vice versa.
Nice one guys. Never heard this before. You two talking about getting caught up in that moment made me think of my dad and I actually smiled instead of cried. He was an excellent storyteller with one hell of a life. His face always lit up when he talked about his glory days 😍
Jamey Johnson is the truth when it comes to true country singers today along with Chris Stapleton. You guys should do Eric Church another great country guy.
I grew up on hip hop and r n b. When I was a kid I thought rock was just a bunch of noise and screaming and country was what old ppl listened to. I didn't start appreciating other genres til my early 20s. That's why I rock w this channel, good music is just that, no matter what type it is and you guys really get that.
Im the same way with metal and rock. I started listening to rap and hip hop a few years ago and ive realized its not all about drugs money and girls. #freethinkers
Jamey Johnson - High Cost of Living In Color is oneof my favorite country songs and I’ve been listening to country all my life, so glad that you guys did this! Jamey Johnson is one of the living legends of country that not one knows about.
I remember singing this one for my grandmother once, and in the middle of the song she said, “That’s the story of my life” as tears welled up in her eyes. I will never forget that moment as long as I live.
I love Jamey's voice, and this song. Y'all should listen to George Jones either 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' or 'The Grand Tour' Country legend for sure.
Love Jamie johnson. I love how he hides hid pain with cocaine and whores... 😲😟😎 just a small glimpse of how a man lost deals with life and do sent hide the good or bad. It something too many of us can relate to and to certain extent. The pain and atruggle is something u have to see in color. I've loves this song since the first time i heard it and hope I can ahare more good parts then bad with my kids and grandkids when they get old enough to start to understand
This song makes the tears fall everytime. I lost my grandparents on my dads side at an early age and have no memories of them. But I got pictures of them holding me and stuff. If yall like Jamey Johnson catch him live he puts on one hell of a show.
And I hope that they wont get turned off by the Confederate Battle Flag that is a part of Skinnards background. Not knowing that Skinnard and other Southern Rock groups was in the forefront of equality for blacks in a time when that sentiment would and could cost them. Yea Free Bird or Sweet Home Alabama either one would be awesome.
I love this reaction!! I appreciate your free thinking and leading us all to open fields of beautiful music..... It's cool watching the genre walls crumble just a bit.
This song is especially relevant in today's Instagram driven world (the song is from 2008). People are so worried about capturing photos of their experiences that they forget to just live in that moment. The old man in the song is explaining the parts of the story that the photo can't capture. A picture's worth a thousand words, but an experience is worth a thousand pictures, so don't forget to live in the moment!
I'm not the biggest country fan, but I like a lot of it. When I saw this video I immediately thought of talking to my pap n always wondering what it looked like in color.haha. fell in love with the song. I was raised by my grandparents, so it really tugs at my heart strings. I've teared up listening to this after he passed away. Good channel, just subd
REAL country like this is so heart warming and touches the soul. ...they dont listen to country cause these new artists have ruined it like luke bryan and taylor swift....bring back marty stuart, Kenny Chesney, George Strait and all those grear country artists from the 90s and u will enjoy country music
THANK YOU! I stumbled upon Lost in Vegas 2 hours ago and now I can't get off. I even subscribed - a first for me. I love your reactions but even more than that, I really appreciate your open minds and hearts. The world would be a better place if we all approached life - and each other - with your same sense of curiosity, willingness to listen, learn and appreciate.
React to "Keep It Between The Lines" or "Sea Stories" by Sturgill Simpson, if you haven't already. Honestly, the entire Sailor's Guide to Earth album is great. Any song is worth listening and reacting to.
Lost in Vegas! I had shoved country to the back of my mind until Chris Stapleton showed up, now this! Fire analysis from George and Ryan! I’ll keep asking: Judas Priest Beyond The Realms of Death. Keep it up!
I worked as a CNA in a nursing home for awhile and would go into the rooms of some of the residents when I had some free time and just listen to them talk about their lives. I was one of the very few that would do that and they loved it.
Yes. I know Jason. He is as real as it gets. Tear jerking song. Listen to that then Martina McBride concrete angel. If those two don't make you stop and think...... You have nothing inside you.
Holy crap! Y'all responded to Jamie Johnson. I am from Southern middle Tennessee. Nuff said. 😀 Yes country is good music, this is coming from a hard rock fan. Great job y'all
Yup thanks for sharing guys. This is an emotional song for me. It's about really connecting with his grandpa. And the lucky amongst us can relate to that so well. But the way he paints his moment with his grandpa in a song, is freaking amazing.
Fellas my papaw was in Europe in ww2. He never used the n word and we are from the south(in a racist time). He said it was a "colored" infantry that saved them while they were bird dogging Hitler and got ambushed. The song reminds me a lot of my papaw
As a young man while visiting my grandparents we would always sit around the kitchen table and my grandma would bring out a photo album along with an old hat box full of old photos, we would all go through them and ask questions and reminisce about family and how we got to where we were. I miss those old stories, I miss my grandparents.... Because of my memories of those times sitting around the kitchen table this song is one of my favorite songs. Thank y’all for making this video.
@Brandon Vaughan don't wait. Record them. Do not need to make it public but your grandkids will appreciate seeing what they had to say. I've found most family elders are happy and eager to hold a microphone.
I always think about my Papo every time I hear this song. He was my favorite person. He fought in WWII and lived an amazing life. He died at 96 and I miss him so much.
Thanks for being open to music as you do. I wish others had your point of view and perspective. I grew with my mothers Motown and dad bluegrass my sisters 70s rock and southern rock. I grew up in the 80s when MTv was music television and the hip hop invasion when LLcoolJ never took his hat off..lol. I get this channel. Great job! Great song too as I relate it with my own family.
Listen to Jamey Johnson’s version of “You are my Sunshine”. A song we’ve all heard a million times but Jamey was able to find a different depth when he was looking at the actual lyrics. He put an painful spin on it. I think y’all will get it.
Tim McGraw - Don't take the girl Garth Brooks - Unanswered prayers George Straight - Troubadour Brooks + Dunn - Neon moon Blackhawk - Not strong enough to say no Diamond Rio - Walkin awayy Toby Keith - Wish I didn't know now I could do this all day but thats a good start
I cannot agree with this comment more. I was thinking George Jones or Merle Haggard for them. Since they occasionally say "I don't know if this is considered real country."
Love it! He is a super good dude in real life too !! A friend of mine worked at a water pump company with him in Nashville, before he made it big. He still hangs out with regular folks. Thanks for playing.
Man, great video guys. I grew up in a poor part of town and some would say projects or ghetto. But I did listen to country and one song that really got to me. Conway Twitty thats my job. Just an old song about a sons growing pains with his dad.
You guys never cease to impress me...solid, honest and just plain real! That's why I subbed way back! I'm a musician and I love, listen and play all genres. I make it a point to listen to many other reaction vids when I can find the time...but you guys are and will remain at the top of that list. You guys have set the standard imo! Keep it up please, much love and respect from Houston TX.
I was in the same unit as Jamey Johnson while I was in the Corps. He always had his guitar and was playing and singing whenever we got down time. We knew he was going to be big.
How cool!!
I never knew he was in the Corps. That's awesome. Semper Fi brother(s)
Thank You for your service! I’m a Marine Corps Brat born at Camp Pendleton and lived at Parris Island and my father was one of the Chosin Survivor and then survived the Mekong Delta and Khe Sanh. I tremendously appreciate Jamey Johnson music.
Thank you
I never knew Jamey Johnson was in the Corps either.
Thank you for your services. It's most appreciated.
Jamey Johnson is REAL country today, not this pop/country they play on the radio today! Salute
Я свободен. Это хорошая песня из России.
@@charleschumbler8005 Baby Don't Cry is the best!! My daughter's father daughter dance at her wedding.
Yes!!!!!!
Sorry.. but there is no such thing as pop country.. LOL
Metal Head obviously you have never heard of Florida Georgia Line
“That was my tail gunner ole Jonny Magee he was a high school teacher from New Orleans and he had my back until the day we left” favorite part
Same I used to listen to this with my gpa who was a Vietnam vet (101st 68-70) and he used to sing “that was my machine gunner ole Bobby lee” Private Lee was Kia in May 1969. In my grandfather’s words “ the last time I saw him he was covering the withdrawal of the wia and Kia. When we found him he was dead in his last known spot with only one clip left.

@@theartistformerlyknownaslu3871 You should repost this comment to the video. More should see. Rip Private Lee and huge love for your gpa!!
Thats my favorite line
Kills me every time.
DrT 2000 yup my grandfathers feet got to him as well. Started there and the infection got to his heart. A lot of Vietnam vets got very sick following the war and didn’t receive proper treatment makes me sick
This is awesome people actually respecting country and how down to heart it is
I've never heard the phrase down to heart. Legit curious if that's a typo or where are ya from??
We say it in Oklahoma
Jamey Johnson is amazing. I love him. "High Cost of Living" is my favorite jamey Johnson song. Y'all give it a listen...
Shirley Allen I second that
also my favorite
One of my favorites as well!
Mine too
I'm on this bandwagon, too!
I worked on Jamey Johnson's personal home in Alabama and its just a small 2 bed/2 bath 1500 sq ft. bungalow...Jamey is truly a great down to earth kind of guy and who hasn't forgotten of where he came from...i can't say enough good things about Jamey Johnson!

I never heard of Jamey Johnson but he has a great voice and this is a beautiful song. I will check out more of his music.
Thanks for reacting to this.
Dawn Says Try “You are my sunshine.”
The Lone Outlaw will do, thanks
Dawn Says He’s an amazing songwriter.
Try "The high cost of living ain't worth the cost of living high." That's a great song!!
wendel hardy - I will for sure
My Grandma's husband is one of the last surviving WWII vets around, and whenever I hear that line in this song, "This one here's taken over seas in the middle of Hell in 1943" it always brings a tear to my eye because of how good we got it in the modern day and age and how many people either don't care or almost spit on that.

Fantastic!! Y’all should check out high cost of living high ! A very relatable song. Jamey Johnson- high cost of living high
Ashley Dixon came here to say that!! 😄
yes they should
Agreed
What she said
Y’all would definitely like this song!
Can I just say thank you for coming into country music with an open mind. The stories these artists portray are just amazing. It's refreshing to hear people that don't normally listen to country actually pay attention to what these artists are putting out there
God I'm such a baby I cry everytime I hear this song, especially when he talks about seeing his bride standing there. Gets me everytime
Dude me too. im not crying your crying.
Always reminds me of my Dad, he passed away right before this song came out.
Breaks Me Down EVERY TIME.
me too bruh. Literally everytime I hear it I bawl like a child
I actively avoid this song especially if I'm around people. I weep uncontrollably every time I hear it.
Don't feel bad....it means you have a heart!! This tugs at everyone's heart strings.

Jacob Williamson one of the last TRUE country songs
I second that.
Jacob Williamson The video the goes along with the song is nice as well .
THIS!!
Dan W Darius Rucker "THIS" Nice.
I’m a metal head to my core..... this Jamey has a place in my heart.
Man it don't matter what I'm doing...I see these notifications and immediately grab my earbuds and hit play. Love this channel!
My man!
Me too - get in trouble all the time at work!!
No doubt. Always waiting for the next upload.
Dont forget Jamie Johnson is a Combat Veteran, a Marine who fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom during the early stages.
JustAnotherGearhead not sure about that. My understanding is he was discharged the week his unit was activated.
mdmejia67 maybe so, guess I got a bad report. If so, I bet he feels guilty about not going with his brothers.
JustAnotherGearhead oh damn I guess that must suck for him
Ya'll should listen to a song called "Riding with Private Malone" by David Ball, it's a really good song
Matthew Gajewsky I love that song!
Such a great one. I haven’t heard it since I was small. I used to love it so much but I never knew it’s name until I was older.
I agree. Would love to see this one!
I play and sing that song all the time
Yes! This is a great song.
I am an Alabama girl living in the United Kingdom. I have just discovered yalls reaction videos to country music and OMG I am obsessed!!

Roll Tide and take care over there!
Wow! What you doing out there?
It would be cool if y’all would react to Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Praisley and Allison Kraus
The Great Tuco yesss
Or Jamey Johnson and Allison Krause with 7 Spanish Angels
Such a great song
The Great Tuco OMG yessss
Omg yes yes yes! Love that song!
This is one of my FAVORITE country songs. I love the grit to his voice as he explains his story. The guitar is amazingly soulful giving hints of both passion and longing for those gone times.

Could ya paint me a Birmingham a little house on the edge of town
Yes!!
Jamey Johnson - The high cost of living
One of the best songs ever written if you've ever known anyone with addiction. Shit will make you cry. The music video is great too
You guys hit the nail on the head in regards to people being overly opinionated on genres they are undereducated on.
High Cost Of Living - Jamey Johnson!
YounGun I think that's his best song...should have done this instead!
Yes!
One of his best for sure.
Yessir
I can’t tell you how happy this made me, I LOVE that song. And not only that... I love how open and honest you guys are. It’s so refreshing to see more people breaking down barriers like, hey this ain’t too bad if you give it a chance. I myself unapologetically enjoy everything from Metallica to Jamey Johnson to Josh Groban to Tupac to classical and even Gospel. Keep it up guys
"Oh and this one here was taken over seas
In the middle of hell in 1943
In the winter time, you can almost see my breath" They kinda missed the point he's talking about being in World War 2.
I agree brother. It makes me think how war drew all together and others lives were placed above your own and people of all walks of life from all over our great nation united to JUST MAKE IT THROUGH ALIVE. Love it
They would have to know their history for that and especially when America joined in late on, which was a clue in itself when mentioning 1943.
Sean Scanlon yup Us got involved in 1941. I felt they kinda just skipped over the whole part of Jamey singing about how it was hell
@@griffinwiegert527 its okay, it was awesome that they appreciated the song. Everyone has a different history and to some it may mean different things. Especially based on age, for older people and for the newer generation. For me, I hope we can get to a place like in WWII where we all came together as a nation and believed in freedom and would die for it to protect those we do not even know, no matter where we came from.

Randy Travis - Three Wooden Crosses

I dig this channel and how yall look at things so intellectually no matter the genre. That shit is dope man. Music needs more intellectual minds
So many people in are society right now need to do exactly what you guys said at the beginning of this video. Just sit back gather information then come up with a opinion. Keep up the good work guys I love your open minded approach
One of the best channels on RUclips
Truth.... absolute truth.
If you like Jamey Johnson you gotta try Cody Jinks-I Cast No Stones!!!!!
M1911Mike or loud and heavy, or I'm not the devil
Grey
MamaSong!
Yes please loud and heavy or even somewhere in the middle by Cody jinks his songs are great!!!
No words is a good one too.
Jamey Johnson is my favorite modern country singer. I've seen him in concert twice.
Awesome Reaction guys!! Y’all should listen to Alan Jackson’s “Remember When” it is also a beautiful song. #freethinkers
You should react to. This Ain't Nothin by Craig Morgan. It's a song that has always given me a better outlook on my life
Almost home ,Craig Morgan
Blues man ,hank Williams jr
Blue eyes crying in the rain,Willie Nelson
Angel flying to close to the ground,Willie nelson
Tin man ,Miranda Lambert
Footlights ,merle haggard

Just a few you should really try..oh and one more
Old man and his horn, Gene watson,,
Uncle Lucius "Keep the Wolves Away" is great song to listen too, with a great storyline.
Brooks and Dunn - Believe
You'll thank us!
Y'all just reacted to MY FAVE artist!!! I've seen him in color every time he is playing here!! I could listen to him sing anything!!!
Justa Guy hell yea
amen to that brother!! i have a few concert vids on my page from years ago!
He is so underrated, born a little too late for the crap on the radio today, but at least we still have him! One talented Marine!
Justa Guy Have you heard “kicked out of country” by George Strait? Written by JJ and Strait together after a conversation they had about not getting radio play.
OGSpaceCadet JJ was a Marine?
Look up Cody jinks please he's is an amazing singer songwriter. Look up birds or last call for the blues
Wiskey bent and hellbound. Loud and heavy. Jinks has in my opinion made his own genre of country y'all definitely should review any of his songs
Brian Dyer yes there a so many good songs from him like the same or she’s all mine.
THIS!!!
Dirt
Maria Almaraz How about some of the King, George Strait!
He stopped loving her today- George Jones
Cody Searcy they did that
ThaPABproductions not that I can find.
They haven't done that one.
yesssss love George Jones
I wish i could like this 1000 times
“The mainstream isn’t an accurate representations of the whole genre” Truth. That whole section about being a student of the genre is spot on. Thanks guys.
Always glad to see people that give country an unbiased chance. I have to reccomend Something to be Proud Of, by Montgomery Gentry. I always remember this song when i hear that, and vice versa.

Jamey Johnson is the truth when it comes to true country singers today along with Chris Stapleton. You guys should do Eric Church another great country guy.
TheBear 1322 modern day highway men: Chris Stapleton, Jamey Johnson, Sturgill Simpson, Cody Jinks
TheWayOf Cailinn yes!!
Eric Church- Loves Me Like Jesus Does
yes! Eric Church's RECORD YEAR!!! Or any of his really! lol
TheBear 1322, Record Year! I think everyone alive has had one of those.

Jamey Johnson - High Cost of Living
In Color is oneof my favorite country songs and I’ve been listening to country all my life, so glad that you guys did this! Jamey Johnson is one of the living legends of country that not one knows about.
High Cost of Living is an amazing Jamey Johnson song. Thanks for the great videos!!
Yes it is! All of Jamey’s songs y’all a good story. He and Chris Stapleton are my two favorite singers. Damn I love this channel. Good work guys
Uncle Lucius - keep the Wolves Away
Great suggestion
Yes! Such a good song and story.
Excellent song not mainstream country.
Don't know if you guys heard ,but Uncle Lucius broke up,still would love to hear that song reacted to though.
Ohhhh. Nice. Would be interesting. I think they’d like it
I remember singing this one for my grandmother once, and in the middle of the song she said, “That’s the story of my life” as tears welled up in her eyes. I will never forget that moment as long as I live.
I love Jamey's voice, and this song. Y'all should listen to George Jones either 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' or 'The Grand Tour' Country legend for sure.
Have you heard tony jackson sing the grand tour. It will give you goosebumps
Y’all should react to “Country Boy Can Survive” by Hank Williams Jr
100%!!! I love that song so much!
Do Jamie Johnson the high cost of living high .
It's a true story of his life.
Jeremy Jackson or that lonesome song
Love Jamie johnson. I love how he hides hid pain with cocaine and whores... 😲😟😎 just a small glimpse of how a man lost deals with life and do sent hide the good or bad. It something too many of us can relate to and to certain extent. The pain and atruggle is something u have to see in color. I've loves this song since the first time i heard it and hope I can ahare more good parts then bad with my kids and grandkids when they get old enough to start to understand
Amazing song
yep...great song and it is true story of his life
Jeremy Jackson yea that’s one of my favs from Jamie
This song makes the tears fall everytime. I lost my grandparents on my dads side at an early age and have no memories of them. But I got pictures of them holding me and stuff. If yall like Jamey Johnson catch him live he puts on one hell of a show.

Daily request: Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Yaliin Cruz they haven’t hit any jam bands yet or southern rock. Maybe one day
And I hope that they wont get turned off by the Confederate Battle Flag that is a part of Skinnards background. Not knowing that Skinnard and other Southern Rock groups was in the forefront of equality for blacks in a time when that sentiment would and could cost them. Yea Free Bird or Sweet Home Alabama either one would be awesome.
Chogra I just keep requesting on every video... Hoping they do it one day
Yaliin Cruz really? Freebird? How bout some current southern rockers like BlackBerry Smoke.
Maybe it's because they've already heard that overplayed song
I love this reaction!! I appreciate your free thinking and leading us all to open fields of beautiful music..... It's cool watching the genre walls crumble just a bit.
LaRae Sanford Damn straight!!
I saw Jamey a year ago at stagecoach...and halfway through this song, the crowd took over and sang it.... it was a very powerful moment.
This song is especially relevant in today's Instagram driven world (the song is from 2008). People are so worried about capturing photos of their experiences that they forget to just live in that moment. The old man in the song is explaining the parts of the story that the photo can't capture. A picture's worth a thousand words, but an experience is worth a thousand pictures, so don't forget to live in the moment!
I'm not the biggest country fan, but I like a lot of it. When I saw this video I immediately thought of talking to my pap n always wondering what it looked like in color.haha. fell in love with the song. I was raised by my grandparents, so it really tugs at my heart strings. I've teared up listening to this after he passed away. Good channel, just subd
HopeToTheWEAK , very sorry to hear about your grandma. I miss all those old stories
REAL country like this is so heart warming and touches the soul. ...they dont listen to country cause these new artists have ruined it like luke bryan and taylor swift....bring back marty stuart, Kenny Chesney, George Strait and all those grear country artists from the 90s and u will enjoy country music
how dare you mention kenny and not alan jackson. how dare you.
Nothing changed, music just evolves over time.
Funny story my aunt is Marty Stuart first wife
jamey Johnsons song High cost of living is the best!
Shadowjamer250 damn straight
Shadowjamer250 story of my life
Must do this one.
Yes!
Yes! My favorite Jamey Johnson song!
THANK YOU! I stumbled upon Lost in Vegas 2 hours ago and now I can't get off. I even subscribed - a first for me. I love your reactions but even more than that, I really appreciate your open minds and hearts. The world would be a better place if we all approached life - and each other - with your same sense of curiosity, willingness to listen, learn and appreciate.
React to "Keep It Between The Lines" or "Sea Stories" by Sturgill Simpson, if you haven't already. Honestly, the entire Sailor's Guide to Earth album is great. Any song is worth listening and reacting to.
I've been waiting for a LONG time to hear y'all review some Jamey Johnson. And a great song choice.
Lost in Vegas! I had shoved country to the back of my mind until Chris Stapleton showed up, now this! Fire analysis from George and Ryan! I’ll keep asking: Judas Priest Beyond The Realms of Death. Keep it up!
I worked as a CNA in a nursing home for awhile and would go into the rooms of some of the residents when I had some free time and just listen to them talk about their lives. I was one of the very few that would do that and they loved it.
Melinda Roop I work in a nursing home as a physical therapist, and the life stories are one of my favorite things about my job.
My great grandma had alzheimer's I learned more about her life through the tough time than I ever did growing up with her.
You want to hear a sad country song listen to "Alyssa Lies" by Jason Michael Carroll.
/Can't listen to that. So sad.
Todd Haakenson one of my favorites!
very good song
Wanna be sadder? Concrete Angel 😭 Martina McBride
Yes. I know Jason. He is as real as it gets. Tear jerking song. Listen to that then Martina McBride concrete angel. If those two don't make you stop and think...... You have nothing inside you.
This is why I love you guys. You are right about doing due diligence and to listen to others. Great points!
Holy crap! Y'all responded to Jamie Johnson. I am from Southern middle Tennessee. Nuff said. 😀 Yes country is good music, this is coming from a hard rock fan. Great job y'all
Yup thanks for sharing guys. This is an emotional song for me. It's about really connecting with his grandpa. And the lucky amongst us can relate to that so well. But the way he paints his moment with his grandpa in a song, is freaking amazing.
This song is gorgeous. Aaand, I'm crying. Thanks again guys! Another great video ❤️
Fellas my papaw was in Europe in ww2. He never used the n word and we are from the south(in a racist time). He said it was a "colored" infantry that saved them while they were bird dogging Hitler and got ambushed. The song reminds me a lot of my papaw
No such thing as bigots are athiests in a fox hole lol.
This song reminds me of my papaw too
Y’all ought to do a video on Josh Turner’s Long Black Train. Deep and powerful lyrics.
jebledbetter767886 definitely long black train is a story told
Awesome song !
This songs makes me cry. I couldn't even sit through your reaction without a tear.
You guys have got to hear " high cost of living" by Jamey Johnson.... great song!! It won't disappoint you!!!!
Wanted to rec - Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss. ❤❤❤
Turnpike Troubadours: Good Lord Lorrie or Gin smoke and lies or Before the Devil knows we're dead
Dizzy great band
I just recently got into these guys.. I love sinners welcome
Hell yeah. Wanna talk about great story telling
The Bird Hunters
hell yes
EARL THOMAS CONLEY !!!! Once in a blue moon 🔥🔥
Time for some Eric Church "Springsteen" or "Smoke A Little Smoke"
Marc Jess "Like Jesus Does" & "Wrecking Ball"
These boots
Totally agree with "These Boots" and also "Before She Does" from the Caught In The Act LIVE
Eew
I'll be happy with any damn Eric Church song
As a young man while visiting my grandparents we would always sit around the kitchen table and my grandma would bring out a photo album along with an old hat box full of old photos, we would all go through them and ask questions and reminisce about family and how we got to where we were.
I miss those old stories, I miss my grandparents....
Because of my memories of those times sitting around the kitchen table this song is one of my favorite songs.
Thank y’all for making this video.
@Brandon Vaughan don't wait. Record them. Do not need to make it public but your grandkids will appreciate seeing what they had to say. I've found most family elders are happy and eager to hold a microphone.
I love talking to my grandma's stories about who's related to who, and looking at old photos
Review Three wooden cross by Randy Travis
I always think about my Papo every time I hear this song. He was my favorite person. He fought in WWII and lived an amazing life. He died at 96 and I miss him so much.
I stumbled across you guys by accidents and 3 vids in, what a great accident. Love it. Keep it up and I wish I found your channel sooner.
Lol, me too. Just stumbled on to these dudes
Same. I think this is vid number 5. I'm so glad they're reacting to so many of my favorite country songs.
Hahaha same I like the variety of content so far
Thanks for being open to music as you do. I wish others had your point of view and perspective. I grew with my mothers Motown and dad bluegrass my sisters 70s rock and southern rock. I grew up in the 80s when MTv was music television and the hip hop invasion when LLcoolJ never took his hat off..lol. I get this channel. Great job! Great song too as I relate it with my own family.
Listen to Jamey Johnson’s version of “You are my Sunshine”. A song we’ve all heard a million times but Jamey was able to find a different depth when he was looking at the actual lyrics. He put an painful spin on it. I think y’all will get it.
Tim McGraw - Don't take the girl
Garth Brooks - Unanswered prayers
George Straight - Troubadour
Brooks + Dunn - Neon moon
Blackhawk - Not strong enough to say no
Diamond Rio - Walkin awayy
Toby Keith - Wish I didn't know now
I could do this all day but thats a good start
React to He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones
I cannot agree with this comment more. I was thinking George Jones or Merle Haggard for them. Since they occasionally say "I don't know if this is considered real country."
Alan Jackson - where were you when the world stopped turning
Brad Paisley & Allison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby
Either of these would be super dope.
Love it! He is a super good dude in real life too !! A friend of mine worked at a water pump company with him in Nashville, before he made it big. He still hangs out with regular folks. Thanks for playing.
Y'all need to do Josh Turner long black train awesome song....!
I love Texas/ red dirt country music. There is an artist named Aaron Watson. He has a song called "bluebonnets" check it out. It's great.
Addy Prince yes it is.
Damn good choice
Any of AW's songs are great stories! Blue bonnets is special bc it's about his daughter that died right after she was born. He's a special guy!
tsumegs yeah. Didn’t want to spoil that. Kinda the point of the channel. Honest reactions. Guess they don’t need to review it now.
Such a great song!
Go rest high on that mountain. Ricky Skaggs, Patty Loveless, Vince Gill, . Will make you cry.
Catherine Sutton or another Jamie Johnson...Take Me home. Excellent performance that will bring a tear to your eye.
im w this one
Good 1 alot of family thats passed have had this played.
it made me cry looking at this comment that song was played at my uncles funeral me and him were really close
Yes! Go Rest High on that Mountain is an awesome song. I love it even though I get choked up ever time I hear it.
"Do your diligence when listening " You're right. I've never done that. I learned something. Thanx
I miss the older country🙁 love what you said about the country genre❤
Man, great video guys. I grew up in a poor part of town and some would say projects or ghetto. But I did listen to country and one song that really got to me. Conway Twitty thats my job. Just an old song about a sons growing pains with his dad.
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys -Waylon Jennings
Ray Brown fantastic song. I was brainwashed by my parents with Waylon and Willie in the 70’s. They wore the grooves out on those albums.
I genuinely LOVE watching u guys react to country music, I have loved it my whole life and it’s beautiful to see u both fall in love with it as well
You guys never cease to impress me...solid, honest and just plain real! That's why I subbed way back! I'm a musician and I love, listen and play all genres. I make it a point to listen to many other reaction vids when I can find the time...but you guys are and will remain at the top of that list. You guys have set the standard imo! Keep it up please, much love and respect from Houston TX.
