There is a big difference between mainstream country radio and songs like this that is actual country music.
You are 100% correct. Real Country doesn't exist much anymore. It's out there though.
I was gonna comment the same thing.
I'm convinced for the most part that people who say they don't like country music have never heard actual country music. That's what I personally experienced
Real country music is not on the radio anymore, the best stuff is put out by independents.
Really true
Well said.
My honest opinion is that no one that says they hate country knows what real country is
Country music it the seed of all music
Thank you!!! Real country is storytelling and it'll kick the knees out from under you.
I played this at my Dad’s funeral. He picked cotton as a kid, got married, and did 4 tours of Vietnam….. this hits home. R.I.P. Dad….
God bless your dad and may he rest in peace.
Cheers to you and your father! 🍻
I'm grateful for your father's fight for our freedom. Stay blessed.
Salute to ur pops 🍻
Mad props to your dad! May he rest in peace.
I remember Jamey sitting in my dining room one night picking on his guitar, playing around with some tune he couldn't get out of his head. He worked with my Daddy's company when he got his 1st recording contract. We were all so excited and proud for and of him. The irony of these lyrics is that he is color blind. I remember the night his first song was nominated for song of the year, "Give it Away" by George Strait. When he won and was walking off stage, you see him pulling his cellphone out of his pocket, and immediately my Daddy's cell started ringing to this song-Jamey's ring tone. Daddy was the first call he made, asking, "Did y'all just see that!!" My Daddy cried, we cried, heck even Jamey cried, lol!! He still stays in touch with my folks to this day! He's a pretty special guy.
What a great story!!
Thank you for sharing this ❤
Crying is natural emotion, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm 64 and I cry at the current state of affairs all over this planet. I grew up in an agricultural community farming and ranching, country music was always on the radio and I liked it, but I also listened to rock. Great reaction young man 👍
There is absolutely nothing like hearing Jamey Johnson sing this song live. The way the crowd engages makes it impossible to hold in your emotions. Jamey's smile as he watches everyone sing along is perfection!
Fucking vibes…damnit. I wanna see it
It’s pretty awesome seen him at the Jupiter in Tuscaloosa,AL
I see him every time he comes within 200 miles of me as he was one of my Marines
All I'm saying is PLEASE do more country!!! You'll love the stories.
I totally agree! Like when my other reaction channel did Reba's, Lights went out in Georgia, they were like, " It's truly a story! Almost like a movie!" Great comment ♡
As long as it’s REAL country with a story and not the dumb stuff in today music
Hell ya
My dad joined the navy at 14 in 1942. He was 6 foot, 200 pounds and they were taking anyone who looked 18. Got shipped to the the eastern front and fought the whole campaign against the Japanese until he ran over a landmine on some godforsaken isle on his bulldozer, spent 8 months in the hospital. I doubt we'll ever see the likes of those men again. All the pictures I have of him are in black and white, except for a couple taken right before he died in '98. This song is pretty damned powerful. Hats off to you for getting it.
Similar story to my dad except he was 6'3" and 140 lbs. because his family had very little to eat when he was growing up.
He and his 3 brothers all joined, all made it home, and all became successful people.
A play this song when I am thinking about my Dad. My dad was born in 1921 in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He dropped out of high school during the depression to work on Swordfish boats. He was in the Army and started the War in North Africa through to D-Day in Normandy. He passed away in 1989.
There are folks who can colorize black and white photos. That might be interesting.
That song got to me but reading your message brought me to tears. There were so many "children" that fought in that war and others. I have the utmost respect for your father. My uncle was also in that war. (My father had polio so couldn't sign up. He passed in '96.)
Can we get 20 more of him !
Jamey Johnson is comically underrated. Wrote numerous hits for others and finally was able to put out his own songs. Great great storytelling song writer
Between him and Stapleton, with the same story, i wish Jamey had more oomph behimd him but i feel like hes too humble to ask for more.
@@bomilam7254 actually. I kinda wish the opposite. Lol get the bandwagoners off of Stapletons jock. They're driving up ticket cost man. Lol.
Im with you
Just checking out this dude
Jamey is 💯
This is so great…😢..I have never heard of him but …Wow!
He is a modern day Kris Kristofferson. Only comparable song writer, except Chris Stapleton.
This was my fathers favorite song, they played it as they layed him to rest, I try to listen to it atleast once a day, beautiful song
This song just hits different nowadays I've always loved this song but as you get older you appreciate the words and the song so much more.
I salute all that served in my family and everyone else’s. This country is in such dire straits right now. All the manly men are dead or dying off that I grew up with. God save the children.
My father grew up an orphan during the depression, he joined the Army in early 1941 for a job a way to survive. He would go on to serve in the Army Air Corps, flying combat against the Nazis. He earned the European African Campaign Medal (recognizes participation in specific major battles) 11 times. He was a flight engineer on transport planes that dropped paratroopers during invasion, then fed the troups with supplies (air drops at times). On June 6th 1944 his squadron was one of the first into the fight at D-Day as they took Pathfinders over France at about midnight. The did not have fighter escort. He earned The Purple Heart during D-Day when anti aircraft fired caused a wound to his left arm. He was standing at the door, his job to tell the paratroopers when to go. He watched the other brave men jumping into hell on earth that day. He chose not to wear the award because compared to them it was just a scratch. A lot more I would love to share about him but let me get back to why I shared you see he named me for his big brother, a man I never got to meet. You see while my dad made it home from Europe his brother was mortally wounded by a land mind explosion just before the war ended ... so yeah this song hits home for a lot of reasons. Don't worry about having judged Country ... just embrace learning about what you've missed. Lots of great music for you to discover.
Let me add one last thing my father was beyond humble, the one thing he "bragged" about was he would be laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. I will go visit him tomorrow on Veterans Day. I do have a suggestion ... Arlington by Trace Adkins.
Thank you for sharing...Exactly why America is not a communist country today...So grateful for men like your father...
That’s a cool story. My great uncle was in the army air corps as well but he flew DC3 transport aircraft. He was killed in an accident while flying his plane in OH after the war. I had another great uncle who was one of Rudder’s Rangers at D-Day. He was captured three days after D-Day and spent the rest of the war in a POW camp.
i lost a couple of uncles in the pacific theatre.
Thank you for sharing your story of two of the heroes in your life.
Their stories are never told often enough
but they need to be told - and told often and told loudly
these younger generations need to know the sacrifices that have been made for them - and for us
hmmm - just think - what if we had a "newspaper" that printed all the stories of the battles and the heroes
that we know about - DAILY - from the start of the war on Dec 7th - thru the ending of the war 4 years later on Sept 2nd
then started over again on the next Dec 7th - with all the stories they were not able to include
think of all the stories from across the nation - that people could send in about their parents or grand-parents
and what they did in the war - their suffering - their loss - their victories
and the newspaper could include those stories in with the regular news stories of the war from back then...
and every 4 years - it starts over again on Dec 7th - we should never forget - but if we don't make an effort -
they will be forgotten - and their sacrifices will be forgotten
even across the world - all the nations whose citizens fought in the war to stop the Axis Powers
their stories need to be told - so their citizens also remember the sacrifices that were made
😢😢😢❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I cry every time I listen to this song. I swear this song was written about my grandfather. I miss him everyday and I listen to this song whenever I need to hear him. This was literally his life.
I actually deal with Jamie multiple times a week. He’s super cool and a very laid back individual. He’s written quite a few hits for many other artists. Glad you like the video.
He seems like he’d been a really cool guy.
Didn’t he write give it away that King George sang?
I just saw Jamie live recently in Lake Charles Louisiana at The Golden Nugget!!! Absolutely awesome still live!!!
Bro, this isn’t just a song it’s a great country ballad. I love both my grandpas for serving and coming back home. And yes, tears…
It's ok, bro. I'm 51, and I cry EVERYTIME I hear this. I think of my Grandfather. Born during the depression, Korean War Veteran and the best Grandfather.
Yup, my pawpaw in WW2 and Korea. Great men
@@jeffatha3296 Same here. There'll never be another generation as tough as them.
Same with me. God I miss him so bad.
That reaction when you said you had chills and then went "wow", that's what real country music gives you. And, yes, there's a bit of blues in there. Really, blues and country come from similar places musically, emotionally, and geographically. Historically, musicians might be classified as one or the other based only on their ethnicity.
I just happened on this video and you said something that struck a chord with me. You started to relate to the video, saying "our ancestors" and then corrected yourself and said "well not me, I'm an immigrant". This is America, almost all of us or our ancestors are/were immigrants. You can relate to us, we do relate to you. Just like you thought it was so unlikely that you'd relate to this country song. Glad you found the song relatable and I hope you find more country songs to react to. May I suggest Chris Stapleton if you haven't reacted to him yet?
Chris Stapleton is crazy good.
Tennessee Whisky
Cold
I Was Wrong
Death Row
Many more.
Im not an immigrant im native American Indian. You people are the invaders. Lol
Country music is nothing but a god fearing man voicing every important thought and emotion straight from their heart.
Country music WAS 💔
Whatever one’s thoughts on country music are, there’s no denying that it has the potential to cut right to your soul more than any other genre.
If you want to turn your treadmill into a river, checkout Brooks and Dunn, Believe.
I totally agree, Brooks and Dunn - Believe (official video) is a song you definitely have to react to. I would also suggest, Cody Johnson’s official video of Till You Can’t. In my personal opinion, I feel country music is the most relatable music out there. I love those “stories” that hit home.
Exactly.... Brooks&Dunn " Believe". Note: don't get too far away from Kleenex when listening!
That is an amazing video...deeply heartfelt with a powerful vocal by Ronnie Dunn.
Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss and Fire Away by Chris Stapleton are hard going too.
My gosh, I love your comment! And even more, BROOKS AND DUNN! I want a band tee so badly! Fav, NEON MOON! LOVE IT! GREAT GREAT COMMENT!
This is the song of my Dads life. 12 in depression, 101 st Vet WWII, married to my Mom for 58 yrs. Played this at his funeral. Miss you Dad.
You should do "Remember When" Alan Jackson next! He wrote it about him and his wife who was his high school sweetheart. This was my mom and dad's song who were married 40 years until breast cancer took mom 7 years ago.
The song is so beautiful!!!
Great suggestion.
I love that song
We can't send kids to fight these wars, yet we do. They are the 1's who sacrifice the most. My grandfather was the 1 who inspired me to serve... 12 years & counting.
This song never ceases to amaze me. I bawl my eyes out every time. My grandparents are 96 and 100. My Gpa served 39 years while my Gma raised 8 kids. This song is life for so many Americans.
This song holds so much meaning to me and my two kids. My husband would wake us up on Saturday mornings watching the cmt countdown singing this song to the top of his lungs. He died in 2009 and we played this song at his funeral. Beautiful song amd I loved your reaction to it.
I have always listened to country music when I actually want to have all of the feels. When I don’t want to feel anything I switch to rock or metal. There may not be crying in baseball but it’s definitely allowed in country music
This song is my Grandpa...still cry everytime I hear it! Love when new people are open minded can't wait to see more!
Country is so diverse, there's something for everyone. If you truly go down the rabbit hole, you will not he disappointed ❤️
I love diversity so much that crime doesn’t matter. I love diversity so much that populative divide doesn’t matter. I love diversity so much that I forgive people for telling me I should be sorry for being European. I love diversity so much that I think I would cry if racial conflict would reside. Always remember people, “diversity is a cornerstone of America”. 😑
I can't ever hear this song without crying. It's a beautiful story.
Another amazing song by Jamey Johnson is "high cost of living" and "mowing down the roses" is good too.
Should have seen it in color = should have been there. A picture will bring back a thousand memories for the person who lived it.
"You should have seen it in color" is an old way of saying "you should have been there in person".
You don’t say?! You’re probably the only person who figured that out.
@@TheYamahog12 Sarcasm, that's a lost art and a dangerous thing to do these days, considering there are a good number of the youth today, that would take offense, doxx you and get you fired from your job for their being butt-hurt over your sarcasm. The analogy would be lost on some of the youth of today. Sadly.
@@TheYamahog12 thin line between sarcasm and outright rude. No need for it.
@@TheYamahog12 Sometimes the wise thing to do is to just not say anything. Humility plus age equals wisdom. Some people learn that while they're still young and some never learn because they don't know how to be humble.
You're attempt at sarcasm was extremely weak. It was neither intelligent, witty, or original.
Your reaction to this song was so precious and heartfelt. I love what you said about your wife!
My grandfather didn't come home from wwii! My grandmother was pregnant with my uncle and my dad was 3 when those soldiers came to the door to tell her that her husband had died. I can't imagine. She was the greatest woman I ever knew!
Country, true Country, tells a story and brings out the humanity in it, Most anyone can relate to the stories told and that's why it is so special and people are drawn to it. I encourage you to expand your horizons a it and dive into more from this genre. From those of us already immersed in it, we say jump on in, the waters fine. 😉
Jamey is one of the best songwriters in country music... and one of the best live shows ❤
I have even met him!
"Back to Caroline" and "My way to you" are my favorites ❤
The amazing thing about music discovery is that the more you listen the more you realize it almost all draws from the same sources and has much more in common that we might originally think.
Country draws from the deep wells of gospel and folk music as does traditional blues.
Rock music pulls from country, blues and soul.
R&B the same. Soul music... Again from gospel and traditional blues and folk.
It's all so inner connected.
I was lucky to grow up in a mixed household. My dads family from Mexico. My mom's family from Ireland. Both of my parents were born here but brought those influences from their families to us. My dad has very broad musical taste from Ranchera and country and rock . He always told us that nobody is only one thing.
I'm enjoying discovering your channel.
Timo Casas from Texas
Honey you put your big girl pants on. I LOVE SEEING people realizing what freedom is. And every reaction was right!!!! Thank you. . . Right there in black and white!!!
Real country music is very relatable. This is the first time seeing your channel. Older country music and some select newer songs really hit home for people who love their family and countrymen. Aaron Lewis is another great modern story teller. 🙏🇺🇸
Love arronlewis
I subscribed to you because I could see your soul in your reaction. A heart like that deserves all the support in the world.
Appreciate you givin country a shot. You just realized what many haters fail to.....country music ain't all cheatin, leavin, divorcin and drinkin. Granted, many country songs have been wrote on those topics, but there's also just life story songs like this, stories that honor wives and family and some of the greatest love songs ever wrote and sung. I'd recommend Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw.
One of the fondest memories I have of my grandfather was in 2010 when I was recovering from a stroke I was on the clock IVs and while my grandmother was at my grandfather, would set up the next IV this song was playing those times and I remember him stopping and listening. I looked at him when I asked him. I said Grandpa, is it true? He just said yea it is my grandfather died at the age of 78 years old in 2022 every time I hear this song I can’t help but think of the old man
This song takes me back to being a kid and my grandfather, my best friend, going through his old photos and taking me on trips to see all the places he lived and basically telling me the story of his life, i didnt truly appreciate it back then. I lost him a few years ago and id give anything to have just one of those days again. Brings me to tears everytime i hear this song but i LOVE this song!!! So glad you reacted to this and really listened to it bc it really is a beautiful song
Just found you today , when you came across my feed. One of my favorite song's and we have been lucky enough to see him live multiple time's. Always brings a tear to my eye's.
The storytellers are the best for me, regardless of genre, and Jamey Johnson is an absolute master at it.
I'm so glad you're coming to appreciate country music.
Such great stories in those songs, especially the older ones.
I grew up in the 60s and 70 and was introduced to country at a very young age. My dad played in a local band and was in minstrel shows at the local VFW.
I have so many great memories from that time. We also listened to 50s do-wop, 60s rock and roll and pop and then the great music of the 70s.
I love watching your reactions to some of my favorite songs.
Thank you for your honesty and not being afraid to show your emotions.
Ya'll have a blessed day.
Grandfather was in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. It was amazing to work around and with him. The stories were amazing. This song always reminds me of him.
You ain't soft Seb.....I got yer back brother. You're young but you get it!
To readily admit you've been living under a rock ( most of us have) but then spin it into a positive . Then, you're gracious enough to thank us for our time......that sealed it for me. You come across honest and sincere. Just because you're an immigrant doesn't mean your family before didn't have great courage and make sacrifices. I'm 61 and just started liking country about 15 years ago.
Can't beat the musicianship with banjo, fiddle. Piano and pedal steel guitar...
And three other guitars &bass.
I grew up a city boy but I live out in the woods now. I like the general values of country....hunting, fishing, outdoors, farms, cold beer and respect for women.
Good luck with your future. Peace ✌
This song is so damn phenomenal. A story of the greatest generation
Some of the best songs ever written are country songs ..That’s what makes country music so special then other genres of music ..They’re story telling while they are singing ..It’s beautiful ❤
My father and his brothers grew up in the Great Depression. They used to tell stories like this all the time. All of them served in the military to in Korea and the rest in Vietnam. Every time I hear this song it makes me cry thinking about them and their stories.
This is one of my favorite country songs. Being a vet with brothers in arms who didn't make it home it resonates with me throughout my life.
County isn’t bad… it tells great stories and it touches the soul. Do more! 💕
This song has given me the goosebumps every single time I hear it!
So happy you posted this!
Just like every other genre of music there is a country song for everyone. I love watching people discover new songs but I love watching people discover new genres even more.
This is a story being sang .
The life cycle through music .
It's an amazing song. You can literally close your ones snd see it .
This song is incredible! From the day it premiered on CMT I've loved it. It tells so much. When he sings "you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered. You should have seen it in color" it sends goosebumps throughput my body.
Bro as a 40-year-old guy I stumbled across this tonight and as a former firefighter and current private security contractor I've done many hard things but watching your reaction to this was probably one of the more wholesome awesome things that I've witnessed this last horrible year and I appreciate you're genuine humanity you earned a subscriber off this video right here my guy.
Jamey is one of the most under rated singer/song writers out there. You can't go wrong with any of his songs and some are the best of the best.
Watching this, i looked over to the black and white picture of my grandparents. He's in his army uniform. This song always hits and makes me think of them. Really is one of the best songs ever written.
As an older person from the middle of nowhere that has some pictured of myself in black and white this song is very special to me. A big thing is some of the people I love that are gone forever I only have black and white pictures off. Great reaction.
One of my all time favorite songs...could listen on repeat...great great song❤
Not only did ppl go from the Great Depression to WWII, the south got to experience the dust bowl before going into the depression. Just hit after hit, decade after decade.
My grandmother was born in 1919 and so was my grandfather. They had some of the craziest stories of growing up during those years. Child labor, racial segregation, kids marrying at 14 or 15, and company owned towns(coal towns) that had their own currency, stores, schools, etc.
Those folks that get hated on for building this great nation sacrificed so much that we just can't understand it
Country music tells the stories of all of us.. the good, bad, ugly and beauty of life
You're missing out on some GREAT music and storytelling. This popped up in my feed, going to subscribe, great honest reaction. Love seeing the professed haters actually sit and listen and find that maybe it's just another window into your soul😊
I'm 75 and I love watching your reactions!!!
Country music speaks to the soul.
Just stumbled upon your channel. Grandmother from Mississippi here. Jamey Johnson is from Mississippi and has written multiple hits. I’m now a subscriber.
I bet tears will come to your eyes if you listen to I believe by Brooks & Dunn It’s another song that has a great message
There is mindless “bro country “ that got played too much for a while on the radio, which turned a lot of people off from country, but there are more songs like this! Story, emotion, real life, hits your soul hard. Its worth wading through the shallow stuff to embrace these amazing songs! I hope you take the plunge !
You should check out more country, and especially more Jamey Johnson. High Cost of Living is tied with In Color for my favorite song by him. His cover of Four Walls of Raiford is also amazing.
Yes "high cost of living high" is amazing
1st time I heard this, my nephew was learning guitar and this was one of the 1st songs he mastered. We lost him within a year after that to a car wreck. He wasn’t even 16 yet. This song chokes me up every. dang. Time.
I always said I hated country till I moved to the east coast about 10 years ago. Literally stumbled across a country video while I was trying to find something to watch on TV and never changed the channel. Been listening ever since. Still listen to basically everything else as well but no longer change it as soon as I hear "country". It's such an underrated genre by so many today.
Keep going down the rabbit hole!! 60’s and 70’s were the best!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man if you don’t like country, you just haven’t let yourself FEEL country. Country music is often just fun and upbeat, but then there’s Country music borne out of real life and it will tear your heart out. It always has a story to tell. It has feelings and heart to share. Just allow yourself to take it all in. Here’s a couple others you should check out: Cover Me Up by Morgan Wallen and Wait In the Truck by Hardy.
I loved your reaction. This song came out when I was around five years old. My dad was a cross country trucker. And we went through more than one trip than that. Love from me and my family.
Music is emotion. That’s why some country songs and other genres can be so powerful. The best songs ever are the songs that are full of emotion.
I liked more country music than you did, but this journey you're taking because of your subscribers' requests is broadening MY horizons, too. I'm loving discovering so much talent and so many songs that really touch me. Thanks to YOU for reacting to songs so I can grow. (I LOVED it when you said you were obsessed with your wife. That's beautiful. I'm so happy for you.)
Dude, react to Billy Joe Shaver, Norm's best friend! That's the best kind of country, as a first suggestion I would recommend the song I'm just an old Chunk Of Coal
This is the answer 🙏👊
Seb. I am so glad you are out from under your rock and enjoy this music that we have been listening to for over 40 years! Glad you are here with us. Country music is great!
when i was married , my wifes grandmother lived to be 99 and was actually born in 1899 . i got to talk to her one on one a few times and she told me what it was like to grow up in 1910 and the 1920, s . what a life and what a story . life is never easy for any generation but thats what make us grow and be strong and those struggles are why we are here .
I absolutely loved talking to my grandparents great aunts and uncles their voices still talk to me till this day and I'm 57
Country music is a kind of soul music for country folk. It will tear at your heart strings and make you cry. Been country all my life, it’s okay to cry!
Country music tells a story. Your first kiss, your first drive, losing someone close, adolescent experiences, regardless of what generation your from, these experiences are real life lessons and country music captures those feelings within a story each song describes. Here are some awesome songs that tell a story all can relate to, just as you were moved by “ In Color”, try some of these:
Three wooden Crosses, by Randy Travis
Chain of Love, by Clay Walker
The Chair, by George Strait
Drive, by Alan Jackson
People are Crazy, by Billy Currington
Those will get you started and will probably further your interest in country music.
Steve, Hollywood Ca.
That tingle is your spirit telling you country music can change your outlook about it by the stories you connect to.
I can listen to this song so many times over and over and never get tired of it.
I'm so glad you are looking at country music. I love storytelling and I love when a song makes me feel. Country does this for me.
Had to watch this again. It always gets you in the heart especially when you see how the kids of today are so soft and focused on the past. It's so hard to get them to look forward and be forward thinking when they have it so easy.
Waiting time before work and listened to Hold on to Memories and then this. I realized how close this was to my dad and it hit me it's the 30th anniversary of him passing.... thanks
Dude! Your analysis is spot on! I think of my dad every time I hear this song. He was a few years younger than the era this song portrays but any man willing to lie about his age to fight for this country deserves some props. I think about my boys. My baby just turned 18 I could imagine them experiencing the horrors our fathers and grandfathers faced. Kids nowadays couldn't . And certainly not with the mindset their ancestors had. I get goosebumps EVERY. DAMN. TIME. I'm so glad you found a song that you can relate to in a genre you can, admittedly, barely relate to. Nothing builds bridges like a common thread. Much love and support! ♥️
*couldn't imagine
Glad you are appreciating Country these days. Can't hate a whole genre. Take it one song at a time. How are you enjoying Country? Because you're listening.
One of my all time favorites! He has many that hit home for me life lessons. This one fits with where we're headed today ! Thank you haven't listened to in awhile.
Oh yeah and he has old school roots original country. Big difference.
Lost my Dad six yrs ago. This is a moving, heartfelt song. I just love this song. So many wonderful memories. Just makes you sit back and think and remember. It's such a great , well written country song.
I've heard this song dozens of times and it still gives me goosebumps and tears
Sebs thank you young man. I am 70 I'm ex military seen combat and still carry the scars and I guess I always will, I found you accident, fate what ever you will. And the thing that is as great as this song (which I've known for years) was your emotion, your pure emotion. In this world we live in right at this very moment shows that you and your generation have not forgotten, and the love and respect and emotion you have just shown for those that came before made tears come to my eyes as this song did to you. God bless Son and when I've gone I can rest knowing that you was worth fighting for, and that the world will be in good hands with your generation I know you will pass this on to your children. Remember there is always hope and I know that you will make sure there will be a better world for future generations. So again Sebs thank you Son and God bless.
A thousand Thank Yous to whoever suggested this song. I never heard of the singer, and would have missed an awesome tribute to a disappearing generation..
Sebs, Thank You for sharing it.
That's one of my favorite songs the subject is just so touching and relatable.. makes me think of my grandparents and those memories
Wow, what a song…. I’ve never heard it. I’m actually discovering some country singers like this guy …. Thank you 😊
We received tickets to his show in Atlantic City years ago and he was fantastic. That song is killer.
