To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave
I just turned 50...I'm from a broken home, lost youth, 28 years in the military, today's politics...this song hits. I'm feeling good today too. BTW - Your dogs are the best!
This guy is exactly what the world needs right now. True, soulful raw talent. His music is perfect! A man with his great voice and a guitar that sounds just right. No BS simple and perfect! I can’t stop listening to his music.
So sorry to hear that and I understand all too well what you’re talking about. Dig your heels in and fight like hell for that baby! Don’t take any kind of bait she throws out. I think our country has finally realized fathers aren’t second class citizens in the parenting world! Stay strong brother I’m praying for ya!
This man is the TRUTH!!! He tells it like it "really" is for so many of us Americans! His music is genuine, authentic, transparent, raw, unconventional as of today's standards, old school, how music used to be...like idk....50 years ago. This man is a huge blessing. His music speaks to SO MANY of us. I just pray he is blessed, and that he always stays this way, and makes this kind of raw emotions, truth telling music.
God Speed ahead Oliver. Be you . I am 68 years old and I grew up in the Hippie area Music,Bellbottom Jean's, No bra, Free and Naked, Concerts, that was affordable. .Mr Oliver dont change. Stay as true as you are. . Sang more songs.... Continue to carry on my friend You. ENJOY most of all. The next Elvis Presley........❤😮
How all your songs haven't blown up yet is beyond me. You are a generational home-grown talent. You make us Virginians so damn proud to be from the Commonwealth. Keep on speaking the honest truth, Oliver
Lost my Dad back in March.... every song/video coming out from Oliver Anthony makes me want to call my Dad and have him listen to this incredible music.. My Dad grew up listening to real country and I grew up listening to rock, but I always appreciated my Dad's love for music and listened to his music, as well. Really wish I could talk to my Dad about this great music... He missed good, meaningful, soulful country music and I miss him. Thank you for sharing your talent...
This brought tears to my eyes. I also lost my dad right about the same time, February 21st. Grew up with him listening to Waylon and Willie, Johnny Cash, and listening to him pick and sing. I feel your pain. HANG IN THERE.
@@caseyfox4414 Thanks, and you hang in there, too. Sounds like you had a great Dad, as well. We are both fortunate for that. Dad took us to see Willie a couple of times.. once at the Austin Opry House and the other was the 2nd 'Willie's 4th of July Picnic'' good times... Later on in life, I actually met Willie and he was genuinely as nice as you would think him to be. Loss is a part of life, but the good memories allow us to smile through the pain.
My Daddy would absolutely love Oliver Anthony! Dad passed in 2018, but I miss him EVERY day, and I would love to listen to Oliver's music with my Daddy.
@@saundralunsford4870 I'm starting to come to grips with the fact that I will miss my Dad forever more. Thanks for sharing... it helps tons knowing that others are enduring the quagmire of emotions involved with losing your loved ones...
@@darrelljourdan3687 Absolutely understand and I'm sorry for your loss. It's a profound hole in your heart that no one else can fill. My life is forever changed, but I have HOPE because my Dad was saved by JESUS and I KNOW I will see Dad again some sweet day. That is how I cope. Blessings and Prayers for you.
As someone who's been there,done that and got the t shirt, this is as pure as wild bee honey, no contracts, no industry, for God's sake no Manager, play music,record music, Post music on all venues for free, establish web site for donations of thank yous and merchandise, tour as often as you want and an industry of snakes and thieves are left out while maintaining control of content and products. This man may have singlehandedly shown how artists can control and distribute the art without the industry corrupting them both. I wish him the best and will spread him to anyone i know and i know a lot of people.
My husband is a commercial roofer and works from "can to can't." We might not spend our money on beer, but the majority of our money is spent on bills. You are a great singer, keep up the good work!
Been a Musician for years. Played hundreds of shows with hundreds of people. Write and record, have experienced professional "perfect" players, and naturally talented players that don't know the name of a single chord. What this guy does is his own niche corner of the musical spectrum. It's good, it's right where it should be. Thanks for the content!
If you watch his other videos you'll see he is actually plays tight handed. If you look at the headstock (tuners), you'll see that the Gretch name is flipped over. For some reason some of his videos have been altered in this way.
Young man you are a gift to all common folk, thank you so much for your soulful songs of truth. Keep an eye on things, the rich folk and politicians don't care for some one that can Spurr the masses. Your mountain music style untouched by electronic modification is wonderful, and a breath of fresh air. Hold on to who you are.
Recently, I've been listening to country music from the 30s and 40s, and now this gift from God shows up on RU-vid. I feel extremely fortunate to have found his music. This is what our country needed, so pure and honest. Honesty is what our country has lost. Thank you, with the utmost sincerity.
Been listening for the last hour or so. If I'm not mistaken you got 2000+ followers within that time. Don't let the mainstream get to you! Keep rocking it out
I subscribed at around five this afternoon, I think he had 80,000, now he has 98,000. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody blow up like this. But I don’t think anybody’s deserved it more. ❤
This is music like I grew up with. My uncle playing guitar to entertain us. On holidays his friends would come over and have to sing for their supper. The dogs in the background and all. I miss the old days, but the likes of 60's & 70's will never be seen again. I suppose most of his friends have gone on to heaven by now, they weren't young 50 years ago. Sir your songs bring a tear to my eyes for more than one reason. May God bless and protect you all the days of your life. 👵☮️🖖
Your music has saved more people than just yourself thus far and you don't realize it. Playing music and writing songs like you're doing is an excellent avenue to relieve anxiety and depression, guitar therapy is an amazing thing. Keep on keepin on man, you're touching a lot of souls with your guitar therapy. ❤
My God where have you been. You totally understand this world and convey it Beautifully in your music. One of the only ways to get people to really listen is music. You are a Master of the Truth. Thank you.
I never liked country until I heard Oliver. This is a superb song, has a timeless feel that you can hear people listening to and finding solace in long after we're all gone.
I have just starting getting into this guys music and I am just grateful that we have some good old boys left in this country. I sure have been impressed with his music and the dogs in the background just puts a sense of down home folks right here in America. God Bless Ya Man keep up the good music.
Let your music inspire yourself because it sure inspires the rest of us dude. You’ve got a gift and this is the way the Lord is working through you hun.❤
Just listened to this man today. And damn this guy is good. He has a fan in me. Keep making the kind of music that We The People can appreciate. God bless you sir. Love your music.
Don’t know if it’s possible, but this guy needs to stay exactly who he was three weeks ago. He has something so damn special in his voice, goes straight to your core. Feel compelled to say thank you and great job!
I'd love to see him live on RU-vid on Sunday mornings, singing & speaking to the World's People! All ears would listen, I'm sure! What a Blessing that would be!😇
It’s about damn time we had a folk singer for our generation. I put you in the likes of Woody ,and Dylan . Continue making your music, and keep them crickets and locusts as your background singers . Shoutout to your four legged sidekicks.
LOL those hounds said "Boss, we're singin' too!" I love this music so much, it's better than any visit to some therapist could ever be, and youtube makes it free. His message is "Life is hard, but it's good, and I'm grateful." And that's so beautiful and pure and wonderful! That's what the Bible says, that's what my mother and my father wanted me to know, and I KNOW it, ain't no question about it. This world hates what is GOOD and calls it evil, and GOOD endures because GOOD will always triumph over evil in the end! We are the real Winners in Life real Americans, because we love God, and our Family, and what this Country stands for even when the government doesn't!
This voice blows me away. I've never liked country music in my life but this man gives me the chills. It's the year of Red ♥️ people. He escaped the matrix and makes music in Heaven on Earth.
I'm 40 and have fallen victim of man tears whilst listening to this. Mate, you hit the nail on the head and your words just resonate with so many people. Brilliant stuff chap..
Brother, your music speaks to my soul. You sing about my life day to day. Please don't stop. Ive followed you everywhere. I'll pay for your album when it comes.
I used to have a white American shepherd who looked identical to your white shepherd! She used to howl anytime an emergency vehicle came by with the siren on 😂. Wanted to say congratulations on your new found fame. The Lord works in mysterious ways! Go to sleep one night in obscurity, wake up in the morning a fucking legend!
I know you're a special person!!! Don't stop making your songs,,!!!!!!! You're making all of us to look at life a different way!! I am just a small person in the world ,,, and I think your words are going sooo far !!!! God bless you and keep you safe 🙏 ❤️ 💛 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You have no idea how many lives you're saving. How many people you are bringing together. You are helping break the division that them rich men north of Richmond have been working on for a very long time. Your honesty is unlike anything that is broadcasted anymore and the people NEEDED you.
No true country boy with a heart and Soul will ever get enough of Oliver Anthony Music Hes the best and will be the best ever, the flower is blooming . WE have been blessed. Rock on Brother your killing it
Brother, it is so good to hear REAL mountain music!!! As a holler boy from Eastern Kentucky, I've never been so thankful to discover your music. It takes me home and reminds me of my dad and my uncles when we all would get together. THANK YOU!!!!!! Keep doing what you're doing, myand "DONT LET ANYONE CHANGE YOUR MUSIC OR HOW YOU PLAY IT"!!!!!!
Sometimes music is just music. And sometimes it means something more than I can put into words. That's what Oliver Anthony's songs are. I'm blown away. Keep it up!!
God has given you a talent and a second change at making things right, don't screw it up. My two step sons died six years ago only six weeks apart. One died in an automobile accident because of drinking, the other died six weeks later from fentanyl and drown in the bathtub. They were both grown men in their early 50s and were taught and knew better.
Thank you for singing your heart. Dan Bongino put you on his show today. Hopefully that will help you get the recognition you deserve. Keep up the great music !
Honestly in my opinion he is the best music Artist there is! When you consider he has no training and did it all himself writing and doing his own videos! We need so much more of people like him! He is so humble and relatable and sings the average people and so many more! Keep up the good work!
This is one of those voices that come once in a lifetime maybe once in history and it's a beautiful thing I can't wait to see this guy when he's singing sold-out arenas and you're paying $1,000 a seat to see him in the small venues acoustic absolutely amazing brother I wish you the universe
nAAAAH, What makes him good is his down to earth virgin soul that hasn't been corrupted by the vultures and industry that he is singing about at this moment and how they tax you to death promise you the world but leave you without a pot to piss in. If he allows the tics into his life they will promise him a ton of money use him up and leave him broke. Who can afford a thousand dollar a seat venue to watch him in concert? That would be going with exactly what he is singing against now, then he would loose contact with the common people that are praising him at this point and time, He would become a sell out, The world is full of them and his status at the moment is what people are flocking to him for. MORE isn't always better.
@PAtriotforlife-kn8wo it's funny to me it's always the Have Nots that talk about selling out. That man's Talent is his to do whatever he wants with it. Whether he goes mainstream or stays playing at County Market true talent is true Talent
@@jamesmarslander476 How do you know and feel so strongly about your convictions on who has and who has not. I myself have been involved and around the music business my entire life so far, I am a cousin to Bonnie Raitt and have been involved in the studio with some pretty heavy hitters such as Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, ZZ Top, David Bowie. Robert Plant and countless up and coming bands with my son being a drummer in one of them, I have seen all to well what happens to musicians when they fall for the quick pay outs, Now calling someone a sell out may be a little strong to which I could tone it down a little. But All I see is another soul in Oliver that is starting out with wholesome intensions that some label will chew up and spit them to the curb, Good day sir.
Please never change your style or direction. Your music is amazing. There is not really words to how it makes myself feel. You hit something most of us are desperate to hear. So many of us struggle to push open our door and get on with the day in this society, and this hits so close to home for myself. Thank you Oliver.
the guitar work is unassuming and subdued, but if you take a step back and appreciate the way it augments what this man is doing with his vocals you realize you have a true musician here: someone who understands how to construct a feeling through sound and words.
I Love blues, you are awesome! I never grew up, I'm 65 old and feelin pretty good got a great man, chickens and pretty view in green rollin hills country.
Love your songs and love them pups! They just make life better don’t they Chris?! I need mine for sure! They are nothing but pure love… dogs are an amazing blessing!
Please don't ever let anyone change anything about you. We all love the realness. .. thank you for being a light in this confusion. We needed you. Thank you. And love you
It is hard these days not to be depressed, but you have many reasons to live and keep making this fabulous Appalacian style music. Never stop composing and singing man. Love this music...it is a message of hope! Love the dogs too. 💞🦮
I LOVE this song, hits so close to home, Oliver/Chris is a fantastic singer...I wish my Gramps was still alive to hear you....he would love your music too. You are awesome!
Man!!! Listening to these songs has made the Eyes Of The World lyric "sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own" tangible. I feel a few of Mr. Anthony's songs could have been written by my friggin' heart. There's magic here. Somehow, he has translated what my soul has been trying to sing for 40 years. Lord knows I been trying but have never found the words. Im not a lyricist. But this guy sure the hell is! Thank you my brother! New super fan here. Can't wait to see a show.😭
@dahliajones2633 yosemite is my happy place. Seemed like a good pic to use when I set this up many years ago. Took pic probably 2013. These comments are probably like my 3rd public comments I've made. Dude made me feel I had to comment. Good stuff.
@tonysalter6911 I've never commented on anything before but he reaches gut and soul level. I haven't been to Yosemite in many years. I lived there as a very little girl. It was magnificent!
