Oliver Anthony has several songs. Made the various news stations for his music. Was put on with big singers and groups. He walked away from the big money so people could afford to see him if they wanted . Mad respect for his music and morals! Love your reactions and your cousins.
ahhh Oliver Anthony..real name Chris... This young man had a handful of phone recordings when a gentleman from a music station heard him at a country fair and offered to professionally record and play his music..this was that offer which changed Chris' life...Chris went from a small following of family & friends to millions in a month or so..this song was viewed 50+ million times in less than 6 months..he had a world tour in less than a year...can you say overnight sensation ?... Chris was going through difficult times..money, love, battling vices..and turned to the Lord..what happened after was this string of successes...he reads scripture before his concerts and performances to the crowd..often he's barefoot and may have his pups on stage as well... God bless Chris/Oliver Anthony...you can always find an update on his channel..how he's navigating the corrupt music industry and moving ahead with his decisions...
He did an international tour and charges no more than $25 for tickets. He recently did a charity concert with proceeds going to Helene victims. Also heard he plans on going into the ministry.
You should research his story!!! Check out his songs "Aint Got a Dollar" "I Want to go Home" "90 Some Chevy". He reminds me of Bob Dylan from back in my day! Singing of social injustice and the struggle of everyday people!
From what I understand he found out that Ticketmaster was overcharging fans for tickets to his concert, which pissed him off. So he cancelled the concert which forced Ticketmaster to refund their money. Then he turned around and had the concert anyway, for Free!! Oliver Anthony (real name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford) is the real deal!!! He cares about people and wants to educate them on how to not have to rely on the govt for basic needs such as food, teach different trades like fixing things, building things (carpentry), how to live off the land, grow their own food, survival skills etc. That man has my respect!! He's Badass!!
3:03 He absolutely was. It's crazy, homey pulls out the banjo, picking the strangs, his dog is napping right by his feet, dude sets up a camera and starts singing. Uploads it to RUclips and within a few weeks he's on freaking Joe Rogan
Check out his recent release cover of Country Roads; release limited to RUclips but with 1.2M views at or about 11 days. Filmed live at a rural spot in WV back in October.
Man speaking for ALL AMERICANS!!!, not a race. Can you believe the damn media calls this song racist? Where???? The government, the media is who separates us brother👊🐾🐾🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
Absolutely loving your reactions! You should take a look at the remix of this that Dax put out. Dax is an amazing talent well worth exploring, if you haven't already. Blessings to you, sir!
Oliver Anthony, in a response to this song coming out was offered $8M record deal but he turned it down! The record companies end up with ALL distribution rights and control so if they really want to they could simply pay out $8M(pocket money for them) then turn around and sit on it without EVER releasing it at all .. and with the political landscape being as it's been this past years .. whatcha think is gunna happen? So instead it got out independently with mad love and help from "the People" not the damn record labels lol! Btw since then the man has EXPLODED in popularity! Right now from his YT earnings he's worth between 1.5-2 MILLION dollars INDEPENDENT of ANY record label!❤ God Bless America! & God Bless Oliver Anthony! Great content Brotherman!
Funny enough, I was on a trip the other day with a guy talking basically all music the whole time for 4 hours and they hadn't heard of him or this song yet. I was shocked and now I'm shocked again lol.
Good analogy of this song. This song resonates with so many people. Please listen to Pentatonix, Hallelujah. You will not be disappointed. Its got several million views. The voices, their hatmonies in the group are amazing.
Love your understanding of the lyrics...so many people think his line about the bags of fudge rounds is attacking the welfare recipient, but he is clearly talking about what you said brother! God bless.
After 20 years on a medication, my doctor changed the med and told me "and this new med is not associated with weight gain"; to which I replied, "We couldn't have figured this out 200 lbs ago?" Not everyone who is overweight overeats.
Man im so glad you went on with your cousin so I could find you! I left an oversized comment on ya'lls Bill Burr white guilt video, was a response to your question. Keep it up I'll keep watching.
I've always overworked I thought it was what you had to do to make money even though I never made money but the last 6 years I have worked 8 months of the year between 60 and 100 hours a week and still never got more than 30,000 in a year tell me the system isn't built against you or us. Fuck this shit.
Bro there are so very many amazing songs other artists have done with this song at its core. Like remixes or whatever you’d call it. Chris webby did a real good one. So did Dax.
Unfortunately studies have shown that the homeless are mostly addicted to drugs or mentally ill. I feel for the veterans we should have taken care of. I have a heart for the homeless since I was on the streets for two weeks, with no place to go. It was during a time when I was waiting for social security. We need to take care of each other. Even being considered poor, in the US I have a nice apartment, an older vehicle, and food to eat, and usually enough to give to one of my charities about 20 to 50 dollars a month. I don't consider myself poor, I look at the other nations around us and see how people struggle just for food and clean water. It ok for the government to give a helping hand, but not to hold on to your hand to keep you down. Which some of our systems are designed to do. Where I live, thank God there are homeless shelters, but I also give to developmental disability societies because my sister was mentally disabled. Thank God you are physically cable of working all those hours. I pray it sustains you. I hope you take a portion, no matter how small and help someone else. Hopefully with the new administration, the inflation will stop and it won't be so difficult to make ends meet. God bless.❤
honestly I think this one would speak for BILLIONS, not millions. lol maybe the part about Richmond doesn't apply anywhere but the US (and Canada lol Ottawa is also North of Richmond, just sayin' ), but the premise of the song sure AF does.
The only line I hated was the “5’3 300lbs. My wife shot up to that with our last kid. She still worked! Never ate fudge rounds. Yeah I know he is trying to portray the lazy but don’t trash the honest at the same time.
He is talking about the people who are abusing the system. If you are not abusing the system then it doesn't apply to you and there's no reason to be offended

This is the poor mans anthem...
"In the old days..." they use to call this a protest song, and it belongs in the Hall of greatest anthems from the 60's and 70's
he is not left or right, he is just fed up with all politicians and their grab for power
Yeah, but...Right is right. There is that.
@@sonofjay817 and I'm all for right, but there are a bunch of right that aint right

Man lived what he preached. I wish I could say I would do the same, but I don't know.
This song and Sincerely, A Tax Payer by Samson came out about the same time last year. Both are damn good.
ahhh Oliver Anthony..real name Chris...

You should check out his song, I want to go home, and 90 something Chevy.
Probably billions! This isn't just a song that speaks for America, this speaks for the whole world!!!
This song hit so hard when it came out, folks did remixes rapping to it. This an anthem for all of us.
And that's a damn shame.... what the world's gotten to 😁
This was a worldwide song. Everyone felt it when it came out. ❤
Great song here
I also really like I Wanna Go Home from him & his John Denver cover Country Roads.
Powerful song
Big fan of this song and OA!
This was like an anthem when it came out cause people are so fed up with the government.
An instant classic. It brings that emotion out from everybody, and I mean everybody. #OliverAnthony
We call that SANGIN’ ❤
Very much so!!!
I honestly believe this song changed the course of history 😊
IS A OLDER JAM BY HIM BUT ONE OF HIS GREATS FOR SURE
You should research his story!!! Check out his songs "Aint Got a Dollar" "I Want to go Home" "90 Some Chevy". He reminds me of Bob Dylan from back in my day! Singing of social injustice and the struggle of everyday people!
Biggest fella who broke all the charts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From what I understand he found out that Ticketmaster was overcharging fans for tickets to his concert, which pissed him off.

Atlantic Canadian first time checking out your reaction.
This song spoke EXACTLY for billions of people around the world.
Amen!!!
This song set the country on FIRE....in the best way!!! ✊
Thats a resonated guitar sometimes called a dobro. He's from the Farmville Virginia area. And yea he's singing about DC.
And he is just chilling in the woods, with his hunting tree stand in the back, dogs near by....all natural
3:03 He absolutely was. It's crazy, homey pulls out the banjo, picking the strangs, his dog is napping right by his feet, dude sets up a camera and starts singing. Uploads it to RUclips and within a few weeks he's on freaking Joe Rogan
That's actually a type of guitar called a dobro. The Lynyrd Skynyrd song "the ballad of Curtis Loew" reference a dobro. Great tune.
One of my favourite songs keep up the good videos
Check out his recent release cover of Country Roads; release limited to RUclips but with 1.2M views at or about 11 days. Filmed live at a rural spot in WV back in October.
Man speaking for ALL AMERICANS!!!, not a race. Can you believe the damn media calls this song racist? Where???? The government, the media is who separates us brother👊🐾🐾🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
Black Pegasus remix is my favorite version. Chris Webby and DAX have good remixes as well
Absolutely loving your reactions!
You should take a look at the remix of this that Dax put out. Dax is an amazing talent well worth exploring, if you haven't already.
Blessings to you, sir!

Great content Brotherman!
@@timafterhours7062 now that is freakin amazeballs
Funny enough, I was on a trip the other day with a guy talking basically all music the whole time for 4 hours and they hadn't heard of him or this song yet. I was shocked and now I'm shocked again lol.
Good morning, Dax making a great remix of this song.🔥🔥🇦🇹👍
I know Dax will do it justice! The Marine Rapper did a remix of it and so did Black Pegasus. Maybe Hi-Rez too? I can't remember exactly.
It hits the soul on the first line!
All thumbs all day. Way to keep a free and open mind. Stay real.
Good analogy of this song. This song resonates with so many people. Please listen to Pentatonix, Hallelujah. You will not be disappointed. Its got several million views. The voices, their hatmonies in the group are amazing.
It is not about right or left. It is the working class getting screwed by both sides.
He turned down a 8600 and he turned it thank you for your reaction and I hope you have a blessed day🙏 sending you love from Lafayette Georgia 🍑
Lol never thought i would see another person to do a first reaction to this. Love it.
//the instrument is a Resonator.
It is a hybrid guitar and banjo mix.
From the heart and soul
Love this❤
Great reaction brotherman! Gotta react to his song "I wanna go home" next. Another song sang from the depths of the soul. Much love & God bless.
Yes, Sincerely, A Taxpayer by Samson is awesome too!!
outstanding dissection
of this song.
thank whatever President Trump is back on the driver seat
Love your understanding of the lyrics...so many people think his line about the bags of fudge rounds is attacking the welfare recipient, but he is clearly talking about what you said brother! God bless.

They should have a ❤ button on utube
First time checking out your channel and an instant subscription. You really need to check out Oliver's back story and the making of this video.
Heard
That’s a ‘resonator’ guitar. Sometimes known as a ‘Dobro’, although that isn’t a Dobro, I think it’s a Martin.
A wonderful sounding guitar.
It’s so damn good!
How could you wait this long to listen to RMNR??!!
New sub!! That’s so sad that the people are on the street like they are nothin’!!
True
Great reaction my guy!
Should listen to “Home.”
Bars
Empath 💯
This was about exactly 30 days after he layed down the drinking and smoking and turned it around!
man you missed out on his phenomenal start and all the stuff he went through
Working man anthem

What about the kids on the island somewhere!!!!!!!
My brother is averaging 60-70 hours a week. It shouldn't take that much to feed 2 people. His wife works 40 herself.
Mama's been hurtin.
🇺🇲 🇺🇲🔥❤️
You gotta do Dax’s remix of this song, it’s incredible
Came by from your cousin
His Virginia song is good. More upbeat. Ain't got a dollar was an early phone recording.
You should listen to his songs I Got to Get Sober and I Wanna Go Home
Not a banjo it's called a dobro. Yeah this one hits hard no matter side of the political isle ur on
Your last reacting Dax did a remix to this song with Oliver Anthony
Need to check the DAX remix
Speaking the feelings of the fed up Americans.
7:01 talking about Epstein Island right there
Yes indeed he was .
honestly I think this one would speak for BILLIONS, not millions. lol maybe the part about Richmond doesn't apply anywhere but the US (and Canada lol Ottawa is also North of Richmond, just sayin' ), but the premise of the song sure AF does.
The Reality is President Trump is back!!!!!!!!!!!
You mean in two years you haven't heard this yet
The only line I hated was the “5’3 300lbs. My wife shot up to that with our last kid. She still worked! Never ate fudge rounds.
Yeah I know he is trying to portray the lazy but don’t trash the honest at the same time.
Hope everything is well now
He is talking about the people who are abusing the system. If you are not abusing the system then it doesn't apply to you and there's no reason to be offended
