If you guys want to get this song or album just go right here lnk.to/ACalSelfMade I don’t care if you steal it or just listen to it on RU-vid. This is the song I’m betting on. This is the one I’m gonna try to push to #1 Hope you guys love the song
Blue collar boys don't have lunch tho 🤔 especially at 9 in the morning that's a second breakfast, also you ain't on your phone as a blue collar boy neither while your at work
@@DevinHoyt lol as you’re typing this. Staring at your phone. Dipshit. Every blue collar job (any job that works 8+ hours) mandates a 30 minute lunch in an eight hour period. Wouldn’t know much about it though as I’ll work for myself until I die.
I was listening to this song the other day with my 6yr old in the car, he asked me what self made means? I said we are self made, we work hard for what we have and expect nothing from anyone. Great song!!
Message from a Western European. Don't be like us. Don't give up. Or you will become like us. We were America before America. Now, we are what we become when we give up. Sorry for my english. For me it's the best song of the album. Greetings from France
Thankyou, France for the love and support, from Florida, USA. You are so right and I fear we are losing a little ground here, but I won’t go down without giving it my all to protect the America we once were. Much love 🇫🇷♥️🇺🇸
Bon Jour from USA. Your English is excellent compared to my non existent French. oiu? Glad to hear from our first Ally who came to our aid, when first we fought for Independence. Seems like France & America ran a sort of parallel through history for a while (Revolution, French Resistance fighting the Axis armies along with us Yanks, etc.). Both our nations have been through dark times, stormy seasons, faced enemies, and fought wars. We can't quit now. If we go down, we're gonna go down SWINGIN'! We might stumble, maybe even fall from time to time, but we shall RISE again and again. This time, they are going to have to kill us. Only way to stop us. Liberte! Viva la France, Viva la Liberte, Viva America!
I just posted a link to this video on two of the biggest country radio stations here in Arizona FB pages and told them they should be playing this song.I’m a self-made small business owner remodeling homes and this song hits home.
@@Bill.Pearson if your so bothered why are you here?! And people deserve a chance to prove themselves if they make mistakes! What a world it would be if we just wrote everybody off after every bad decision. It's God's job to judge people not mine or yours. Have a wonderful day though for real!!
A good old Gen-X anthem! I love passing this down to our kids. We’re raising a stronger, more resilient, generation of kids. May God bless you and yours Adam!
When me and my husband met we had absolutely nothing. 17 years later, we own our house, and own our land. It was his hard work that got us where we are at, and from what he says, me and the kids give him the drive that he needs.
Even tho I grew up overseas I am so proud of our flag. Love your music, thanks for what you do. I’ve been off the needle 22 months now and I beat ovarian cancer. Your music kept me going through dark times.Lots of love 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💕💕❤️❤️
This should be the anthem for Americans. Work hard and reap the rewards. No matter where you came from you can live the American dream. Much love Adam❤️
Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Deborah. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice l've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million, and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news. Chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
Love the country version of ACAL. Keep doing you brother. We appreciate what you do for us hard working proud American family men. Make being a good person and father cool again!
This is a great album! I love that you talk about what many won't, not only a love for America but also coming up from the hardest times. My husband did 11 years in prison, he could have just come out and been a statistic but instead he finished parole, has maintained familial and personal relationships, bought our home, and has worked full time since the week after he got out for years now. People can do it, people can learn and change. Bless you and your family Adam Calhoun! Thank you for this album!
This great grandma keeps thinking "this is my favorite" then Adam drops another ❤ Love this, after an abusive relationship I divorced my kid's dad and this had me in tears, it reminds me of my son.... 😢 BUT, he's doing amazing now and he's SELF MADE ❤🙏 Much love and respect Adam, from TN
Well, I’m a grandma and I got to say that makes me think you must’ve done something right pat yourself on the back if our children grow up to be self-made then we did it. We did this the right way. My two girls married two brothers and I couldn’t pick out better partners for my daughters is a nurse one daughter is a homemaker. And they are perfectly yoked for each other. My son’s mom and I are great friends. She feels I raised daughters for her boys, and I feel like she raised men for my girls. And I’m looking at what they’re doing with our grandbabies and we are both tickled because they’re grown up. They know the Lord they know how to hunt and fish how to cook and clean how to render first aid, how to grow gardens how to write in cursive how to read legal documents They are learning when it is time to put your back into what you were doing, and when it is time to celebrate with their family, they are learning what true family values are Yeah, I think we both did something right Here’s to you 🎉 seriously pat yourself on the back
@@elisiaweimar4219 Oh Hun ❤️ I could feel the love and respect by reading your comment. Congratulations Mom/grandma, so much to be proud about!! I wish I could say my 2 children grew up and accomplished so much, but All my prayers for my son were heard, he's 8+ yrs sober 🙏 He's accomplished so much from being an addict who spent time behind bars for it, he's always been a FIGHTER for his children, working and being the respectful person I raised him to be, (a story much like Adams). I've never even seen a drug, never drank alcohol and did my best to raise my children to be dependent, caring and respectful adults, I am proud of them both! I buried my daughter to an accidental prescribed pain medication overdose 💔 She left behind 2 daughters, they're grown now and I'm beyond proud of them both! My son's children are also amazing teens and adults, I'm a blessed grandmother of 11 and 2 great grandchildren 🥰🙌 Thanks for sharing about your children, I have to admit I had tears of happiness while reading...
@@elisiaweimar4219Definitely sending a pat on the back to you ladies, jobs well done! Patting myself also, all five of my children are very independent, in loving respectful marriages, respect God, and are doing awesome with my grandkids. I believe we were the last generation to raise our children with the abilities to become responsible adults.There are millions of reasons why, however I'll always believe we never should have allowed God to be removed.😮!
My husband and I started our own business remodeling homes and doing home maintenance. So glad this song got a video. This album is by far my favorite modern country album. Simply cause, it's not this modern country music at all.
Almost 30 years ago, I dodged prison to become a soldier at the age of 17. Self made is what keeps me pushing to this day. Been a metal head for a long time, but thanks to you I'm able to finally enjoy some decent country and rap. Authenticity is all I give a damn about. Keep being you brother!
This song is my favorite in this country album As I just finished listening it for the first time,I wanted to listen it once again I bet that many people feel the same way about this song 🎯
Singing from the heart and preaching facts! Makes me think of all of the strong and able bodied men and women who built this country. Bring this song into the spotlight and don’t sleep on it … this is my favorite song off of the album 😎
Perfect response! Looks like I’m not the only one that worked hard to teach their sons to be alpha males (strong and able bodied men) unlike the beta males who cave to the woke mob.
Mann. So close to home...in spirit and logistics..I'm from rossville Illinois.east of Champaign about an hr..and I dig graves for a living..your friggin amazing brother..i loved every thing you have done and will do .. ....we will meet soon..I know you know..
Sounds like straight FACTS!!! I absolutely 💯 % can relate. Came from nothing, raised three children ALONE. That turned into three beautiful functioning stand their ground INCREDIBLE ADULTS... didn't do half bad, I can say❤❤. Thank you Jesus for your help🙏♥️♥️♥️. Great song Adam...keep up the good 🎶 ❤
I am a Gen x . This song reminds me of the way it was growing up. Never had it easy. Turning nothing into something. Getting the belt.Digging my own grave. Self made. This music video needs to be number one. 😊 Let's go ‼️ Thank you Adam 💪🇺🇲🦅
This song definitely reminds me of what's beautiful about America. Nothing is more rewarding than being 'Self Made" no one can take that away from you! Great song and video!
Chills and feel every damn word! Love the entire album! Make outlaw country cool again brother! You speak to and for an entire army of blue collar nobody’s! Your albums have always made swinging a hammer a little more meaningful! All love! 🤘🏼🇺🇸❤
This is what I call real country, the kind I grew up with. I wish there was a CD, yea that's right I'm that kind of gal. Great song, melody and vocals. This should hit No.1 and hope it does🤠🙏🏽✌🏽
That's rite brotha, some folks just don't understand and never will . I swear you are talking straight to me in some of these songs like a preachers sermon. Keep it going love you brotha.
First time i heard and saw you, you were diggin graves and setting em on fire. Now you are my favorite artist, singer, rapper. And here you are diggin a grave. We love you Adam thank you
Just finished the whole album - being born in 88 I was able to grow up listening to some of the best years of country music. I’ve replayed all the old songs 1000 x because I can’t find that sound and you sir have done it. Your rap was great but your country is invaluable. Thank you
I'm 62 and medically retired due to a genetic condition. I can't say I've ever had things as hard as you, young man, but they've never been easy. I've had to work for what little I've had, and by the Grace of GOD, I still have most of it. Lost my wife to cancer 4 years ago so I'm on my own, with an elderly dog and 2 elderly cats, just trying to get by from month to month. I fear for the future of this country and the world at large, but young men like you and Tom give me hope. Thank you, and keep putting out that music. Your songs are awesome.
I love this! I grew up in Arkansas with a dad who worked pipeline and was an alcoholic- never could predict the violence. I live in Houston now-married to an attorney - kids in private school. I’m a fish out of water- just can’t relate. About to start homeschooling my kids. Congratulations on your new album!
Love the message. There’s a whole bunch of us. Most of us do more in a day than many do in a week, and we’ve done it this way for decades…we are taxed out of this world and nobody gives us near the credit we deserve, but it never stops us..we keep on..carrying you all. Sincerely, The working class.
From a person who grew up in the slums of Philly and NJ i never thought i would listen to country but then Acal steps in and drops some different shit and I'm lovin it! I miss you gritty rap style but do you brother. It might take i min to get other people who listened to your radio to come over but didn't give up and keep these bangers coming.
Only way too be!! I pray these songs along with going down those next new paths with journeys to start living start to heal your soul and allow the demons to dealt with so they can exit your mind,, body! ❤
This is the country music that I love. I very much dislike the current country they play on the radio, except for Sundays when they play the old ones I grew up with in the 90s-00s
Adam, I have told you this before...I was a CO in Illinois for some good time. Makes me proud that you got out and went completely nuclear. Happy for you. Truthfully, it is the most gangster thing you could have done.
I might never have the money like some people or the fame. Just a welder working hit butt of to have a great life with what I got. Your song always hit home and hope my son can group up with the hard work mind set in the messed up world. Thanks for all the hits
