Yes, but....as he never fails to share, he had someone much bigger than a record company helping him. That makes Chris's success that much sweeter, because we all have access to God, if we humbly seek Him.
He seems to be a great guy but go see him while you can. He’s became famous overnight but he won’t be able to hold onto it, unless someone else writes his songs. He’s not a songwriter and unfortunately, they all sound alike. Not hating on him, truly, just being the voice of reason.
What ya'll are missin' is that he did this from his porch with a cell phone and a RUclips account. ....THEN he told the record labels to go get stuffed.
Hank Williams career only lasted 3 years. He made it to the Opry, and the ultimate pinnacle of quasar stardom every bit as quickly. And when everyone else is a distant memory, Hank's music will still be here.
I work on a construction site, I drive about 2 hours everyday to work… I dig trenches, haul gravel, work my self to the bone. Never have I had a song hit me the way his does
Because you get it. You eat that shit sandwich and ask for a second helping. Balls. I know. I am a mechanic and have owned my shop for 29yrs and have seen truth and real. The Ebony People deserve and get the best the US has to offer while the 60hr/wk folk are bleeding and trusting for change. Get smart. It ain't happenin'
You’re in good company my friend. I’ll be 65 in couple months and still at it in the coal mining. This SOB teared me up more times than I will ever admit, and I cannot explain it. All good though.
It is much easier to blame others for the situation we are in. The government does not define your life! Thinking that it does will keep you suppressed!
Why do you need a song to make things right? Reminds me why people need religion America has lost it's way, no values, respect and plain old greed it will not get better until there is change in peoples hearts get rid of the ME, Me, me.
@@kaylynnr8003what do you mean victims mentality? We are victims and are fighting it. Are you saying a man should bust his ass all day to come home to his children over stressed from school which forces propaganda on them and he is too tired to raise them. The he pays the government who uses that money to give to people who don’t work for them to sit around all day without the intent of ever working or pays for a prince to speak with the family if a terrorist.
@@XtraOrdinar-y I also choose not to send my kids to crappy public schools and I don't give money to any governments that use it to kill people. Unfortunately there are some taxes that are simply theft, but once again, I'm not going to let that drag me down into victim mentality.
Thank you Oliver for standing up for the working class and the poor! God will continue to bless you for this! Many blessings and happy returns in 2024! We love you man!! ❤
Amen Anthony my brother 🙏 for you son and you keep up the great work, Keep your eye on the prize because we know it's heaven ,There's not one thing better than going to Heaven

Chris deserves this so much. He has a gift for reaching people right in their souls with simple, straightforward words. And the Opry audience knows ALL those words! We in Virginia are so proud of him! My own favorite song of his is "I Want To Go Home". Makes me cry every time.
Thank you Oliver. You and your music are needed around the world more than you know. God Bless you today, and all of the tomorrows. Keep on singing. So appreciated. An earth angel for sure.
I've never seen an authentic performer until now. He's not even a performer. That's the wrong word. How he abandoned the mic, and sang strait to US. TO US! God bless this hero. This legend. May we remember his name. Oliver Anthony. The MAN who KNOWS us all.
Since his 1st drop of Rich Men North Of Richmond I been jamming to his music everyday! His song brought some light to folks Myself included! Oliver Anthony! Best Artist & Song 2023!
There's so much talent out there that never gets the chance to rise to the top. I know Oliver would agree. If you wanna support him and the very idea of him and desire to see talented ppl practice their talent, tip a busker, learn an instrument, make sure any children around you have access to instruments and language. It's a beautiful thing and it's bigger than any of us.
Great job, Oliver.. Being a fellow Virginian, It reminds me of other Virginians who have made their mark on the Grand Ole Opry. One time I met George Jones who introduce m to his Fellow members of his band from Virginia.. Note.Dud anyone notice the bible, Oliver was carrying? God and Country, in that order..!
Just goes to show that you don’t have to sell your soul to the devil to be successful when you project truth and light! God blessed this man for doing it the right way. ❤🙏
Incredible! Love that he has proven that it's ONLY in America that an average man can hit it big telling the TRUTH about our nation's corruption...from Washington, DC to Main Street! Real American's just want to be FREE & INDEPENDENT!🙏🙏💪
That young man gives me hope for our future. His words resonate with the majority. I wish him all the luck in the world as long as he keeps is real and dont sell out like so many have done.
The last time I seen a video where a performer got this kind of standing ovation and had to do their song over again like that was Hank Williams Senior when he premiered lovesick blues at the Grand old Opry
I love Oliver Anthony! What an incredible gift this amazingly humble American man has been given! 🇺🇸 We all can relate to Mr Anthony. God bless him more and more!
It’s incredible that he brought that guitarist up with him all through a chance meeting. You know dude is 100% the real deal there are a few good men left!
ty for sharing this video... i havent watched the grand ol opry since ... well i dont remember... been some time... but i must say... that is the first time ive seen the whole place give a stand and sing along with a singer... oliver is a very talented artist and i think the world needs him right now... god bless... lol.. and my great grandmother would have fell out her chair hearing the word sh** on the grand ol opry
So glad this man made his voice heard. The message is so true, and resonates with so many of us that do all we can to make the best lives for our families. 💪🙏
The greatest country music show on earth, broadcast LIVE from Nashville TN on high wattage clear channel 650am WSM for nearly 100 years now, it’s one of the last truly great things left in this country. If you haven’t been, you should go. The winter shows at the Ryman auditorium are my favorite…the Opry house at Opryland is good but it just doesn’t have the same “feel” the Ryman does. I don’t know how to describe it other than like going to church. There’s an energy in the place that’s not easy to explain…but it’s good, real good.
I love it. He sang at like 1.5x speed... for his first really big concert, I think he did great. It's easy to go too fast when you're at a big one. Great memories and I am so hoping for the best for him!!!
@@dukecunning7046 Oh he will and he normally does. It's nerves combined with being at a venue where you're told you have 'x' number of minutes to get your set done. He knows people will want to hear at least a few certain songs within that time frame, and he's gonna have to step them up a little bit to fit them in. He'll get the hang of it. Takes time to get the feel of those things. He's a natural - no worries from here :)
Enjoyed your debut Christopher! Got up an done my own little jig myself! Keep going! Keep ur read farms in my prayers, that's a good thing from a good man! Thanks!!!
I feel the same way as alot of the previous comments. Much needed in today's world. He has several good songs in which his values come out in a voice all his own.
I mean this is stunning. He lets the audience sing and redoes the song. Just listen to the lyrics. It's exactly what we're in rn. That's the loudest I've heard it at the Opry. And it's well deserved!! 🙏👍🥰
Thank you so much for taking and uploading this footage it is appreciated. Do you have anymore to post? Thank you again cheers from Australia. Absolutely magnificent watching Chris go so far in a quick time. Power of the people and music.
Fantastic ,sing it man sing it.I believe your song has opened some eyes.As I was told by some smart people " stick to your guns" Oliver Anthony.Stay true to yourself.
Never in all my years has a song went across every line and brought a people together. It resonates with every American.
The best thing about Oliver is he did this all on his own without a record company behind him. He resonated with people. Wish him nothing but success.
❤️Also like that kid Tom MacDonald!!!!👏🏽
Yes, but....as he never fails to share, he had someone much bigger than a record company helping him. That makes Chris's success that much sweeter, because we all have access to God, if we humbly seek Him.

@@monty-365I was just about to mention Tom MacDonald!
@@Candeeda1972If God is for him, who can be against him.
Has anyone ever made it to the Opry faster than Oliver? And everyone is singing with him, because they are living this song.
Jake Kohn was pretty fast. and well deserved
Carrie Underwood did right after American idol was finished.
What ya'll are missin' is that he did this from his porch with a cell phone and a RUclips account.
....THEN he told the record labels to go get stuffed.

more of us exist then not. we are all here brother. making the country move
Nobody’s gives a shit bud. Should of studied more bud
This is now the working folks’ anthem in our country today. Politicians have almost destroyed what so many worked so hard for. Sing it loud!!
Aman brother Aman!!!
Another CIA implanted distraction so they keep you crying about it and doing nothing about it. Congrats.
The government isn’t your problem. You are.
@@steveb796cope
It is much easier to blame others for the situation we are in. The government does not define your life! Thinking that it does will keep you suppressed!
Brings tears to my eyes, the whole audience singing with, God bless these men, so needed in today’s world, love you.
AMEN ON STEROIDS 👍🙏🫶🏻👍🙏🫶🏻
Same!
Same here too! And who else can sing a song twice and maintain that kind of response from the audience??
Redneck lullabies. 💩
I did as well, and I am not afraid to admit it!
Good to see The Opry come back to its roots.
...and its'bout damn time!
Still one of the greatest songs ever written. Such a true solid song. Country is upside down. God help us!
God help us move away from this victim mentality...
And not that "God" that all these false Prophets preach about.

A couple months ago, no one knew this man. Now, he's singing at the Opry and he's officially the "people's spokesman"
He,s very good 1,st time I ever seen are heard him 🇮🇪
Makes me happy to hear everyone singing this song
That standing ovation gave me tears.
Attaboy, Oliver !! Thank you, Grand Ole Opry for giving him another few minutes in the sun !!!
God gave this broken, humble man an anthem to share with the world and lifted him and the rest of us up. If that's not a miracle I don't know what is.
My parents were there, they showed me their videos.. I am instantly a huge fan of Oliver, I've been playing his songs everyday now
@DJ_First_Blood - you and your parents are good people!
What's amazing is that every American knows every word of this song❤
Mit only American. I'm a German and this Song makes me cry always. ITS the same Situation in the wole world. We are one!!!
@kirstenodunze5998 yes we are all one❤️❤️❤️
He doesn't need back up signers when everyone is singing with him! How awesome is that!!!
I know all 3 of them personally. What he’s singing is how he feels and so do I.
WE NEED UNITY IN OUR GREAT COUNTRY, AND POSSIBLY THIS MUSIC WILL HELP ACHIEVE IT! GOD BLESS THE USA!!
Thank you Oliver for standing up for the working class and the poor! God will continue to bless you for this! Many blessings and happy returns in 2024! We love you man!! ❤
I don't live in America. i live in the UK, but i can so relate ! Many over here are living this song too !!
They are singing with him, with him. My God. What message this man.
Bless you young man....trust you stay humble an focused....WE the little people needed that song.....God help this Republic!!!
Just love it, the WHOLE CROWD is joining in cuz we all know what’s going on and we’re pissed off!
What a platform God has given this young man to relate his music with the soul of man. Guard that gift!
Chokes me up every time I hear it!!
This man was born to play this music, he has soul a lot older than his birthday, what a great gift to us all
Thank you so much for letting us see this. Our boy did us proud. God has worked wonders with this young man.He IS the voice of the working man.
Thank you for showing the audience and their sing along!!!
Amen Anthony my brother 🙏 for you son and you keep up the great work, Keep your eye on the prize because we know it's heaven ,There's not one thing better than going to Heaven
Guess country music has the balls for bringing this amazing man in to country music
Into
He has his own label 😎
We won't be on radio. He is not mainstream. He turned it down....
Country music brought him in to control him.. Its wall posters in Walmart from here.. He sold out

What a great recording - thanks so much for this! I love how he let the audience sing. It really is an anthem for all of us on the ground. ⚒️
Chris is excellent!!!
He chose the stage name Oliver in honor of his grandfather, Oliver.
🎵 ❤️
Oliver in the round! Showing what real country music looks like!
We all know the lyrics because we have been living them.
I wish I could like this a million times
Salute to this American Hero, and those helping him.

Just great! Greetings from Germany.
The man puts to words in his song what every red blooded American is feeling in the days!!! ❤ 🇺🇸 💪
God I would love to hear him sing it in the old Church ( Ryman Auditorium)
Wow, what a leap this man has made with his music. Made it to the big stage in such a short time. His music has the American sentiment behind it.
