FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Jamey Johnson "In Color" 

He’s a friend of a friend. Just before he released this song, Jamey played it for us while we sat drinking beer late night around the backyard firepit. We were floored to say the least.

You definitely need to see the music video!! It’s a powerful one!! I grew up not far from Jamey and we had many mutual friends, so hearing this song brings back a flood of fun memories and emotions. I will never forget the first time he played this for us down at the farm, and then when he finally got the courage to play it on stage, in one of our little hole in the wall bars in town. He was skinny, baby faced and still in the reserves…lord how times have changed lol but he’s still the same ol boy from backwoods Alabama that I met all those many moons ago. He’s such a sweetheart and never let fame go to his head!!

This one always makes me get all misty eyed. Makes me think of my parents who have both passed now. They lived through the great depression, raised six kids, and would still hold hands when they walked together right up until Dad couldn't walk anymore.

There is no other artist like Jamey Johnson. He is true country and doesn’t cater to what radio stations will play. He said he has a deal with them. They don’t play his music, and he doesn’t listen to theirs. He’s a former Marine that doesn’t put up with anyone’s disrespect. I’ve seen him 5 times in concert. He’s the best.

Well thay confirmed i STILL can't listen to this without crying. Definitely watch the original video when you get the chance. Simple and fitting to the song. Jamey looks VERY different in it though.

This is the story of my Grandfather's life. He grew up on a farm during the great depression. He was a Marine during WWII and met my Grandmother, also a Marine, and loved her until he passed. There is a picture of them in front of their house and this song always reminds me of it in the last verse.

The video is a must see...

You have found one of the best singer, song writers in country, and still my favorite singer today

He is a true artist. I don’t think he cares a thing at all about accolades or awards…he’s just sharing his gift. We played his song “Lead Me Home” at my Daddy’s funeral. If you give that one a listen, you’ll understand why….just beautiful.

One of the best written songs ever!

Jamey is one of the best writers out there and knows how to tug on those heart strings. My Saving Grace will rip your heart out

This is a gorgeous song. Gives me chills each time I hear it. The music video is even more touching Britt!! 😊

The video tells the story nicely. Absolutely love this song!

Jamey takes you to Church with “Lead Me Home”….from this concert.

Im glad i sit with my grañdmother and listen to her stories. She was born in 1912. She had alot of them.

This is one I would definitely say to see the original video. If you like this live version, the full sound of the original is beautiful. His voice is even better, which is rare. The story within the video is very powerful

This song always made me wish I had grandparents. All I had was parents old enough to be my grandparents.

Not sure how you decide what to listen to, but even if you don't do a reaction. His sone "that's why I write songs" is top notch.

One of the best live shows ive ever seen. He played 2 hours of his originals, then 3 more hours of classic country and gospels. The entire crowd sang along. Truly a moving experience.

My dad was born in 1936 and he told me lots of stories about how he grew up and can't imagine what they went through just trying to survive.

Words can’t describe how quiet this place was for him. Alpine valley is a weird place, but that silence was deafening

This song makes me think about my entire family. I'm the youngest of my grandmothers grandchildren and she had 10 kids. Its a blessing and a curse to hear the stories and become more proud of were we came from. But Ill be the last one here after my heroes are gone. I smile and cry

if you're a Gen X'er, who had grandparents who fought in WWII, like i did, and then your parent grew up poor, you understand the song and struggle

When you're at one of his concerts, and this song starts, he sings the first few lines. Then he goes silent. The crowd takes over the singing. He just stands back, plays his guitar, and just smiles. The video is great, but live... pure chills. Love your channel Britt.

Thank you so much for this! He’s one of my favorite artists. A song I would recommend is “Between Jennings and Jones “. Or “The high cost of living “.

Jamey Johnson is one in a million.

Makes me tear up every time 😢

Country music is three chords and the truth

Gave me chills when he started singing

My Grandfather, Dad's Dad, grew up during the Great Depression. He told me he and his brothers would take buckets down to the train tracks and wait for the trains at the tipple to pull out loaded. After the trans would pass, they'd pick up whatever pieces of coal they could find that fell from the train to fill their buckets. That's how they heated their house.

I’ve seen several people react to this song. You are one of the few that understand what the song is about.

In 2010 I was 18 years old and I was about two weeks out of a stroke I was on round the clock, IVs I remember watching a concert on television with Jamey Johnson an Shooter Jennings, and he played this song while my grandfather was setting up my next IV and I remember my grandfather pausing after he said the IV up and just listening to the song and I asked him I said Grandpa was it really like that and he just kind of looked at me and said yeah it was I lost my grandfather in July 2022 my grandfather was a farm boy in Weston Oklahoma born in 1944 and grew up in the second wave of the dust bowl. I can only imagine what he went through as a kid

There are some amazing artists (like on the r/colorized subreddit) who colorize old photographs, and it always amazes me how much more lifelike the people seem… and always reminds me of this song!

This is my favorite Jamey Johnson song. It has reminded me of my grandfather since 2008 when this song released. ❤️ I ALWAYS see his face during this song.

If you've ever been broke, jamey's song "can't cash my checks" will hit home

True. Life is not just to be in. But to live. We repeat life though others by remembering them. I love your open mind. Thank you God bless.

It was written by the president of the PDC, Chris Stapleton. The video is also very good.

I really enjoyed your reaction to this wonderful hit. I gotta say, growing up in the south and hearing this song as it was released, I never thought about how country he sings the lyrics "in colerrr" because that is how most of my friends and family speak on a daily basis. So having you point it out is the first time I've ever noticed how country the phrase sounds around here. I love your content and cannot stop watching your genuine heartfelt reactions to music.

Britt, you nailed exactly what this song is about. I love your reactions, your spirit and your heart. Thanks for sharing this journey with us.

In the Official vid, it's in B&W, he's sitting on a stool, surrounded by B&W pictures, on the floor. Part way through the video, like water running across the pictures, they change to color.

I was at this live show it was incredible… 15k+ people were stunned and silent. It was so beautiful

Still got my Grandpa's Brass Train Key as my key chain.. I used to sit with "Grumpy" and go through his old pictures from WWII & Korea and his "buds".. wearing his conductors striped hat. This hits HARD! Grumpy is long passed now.. Oddly enough; my grandkids now call me "Grumpy" and i'm doing the same thing.. Taking down pictures off the wall and talking about them.. "Who's this, who's that?"

One of the best true songs.

This song makes me very emotional because I lost my grandmother and she went through the great depression and ww2 and never complained or had anything bad to say about these times I used to love sitting with my grandparents and listening to them tell about the times they had When people still loved each other and stuck by each other through the good times and the bad times and Marriage meant so much more than it does now I don’t know why people even say marriage vows anymore because they don’t mean the same as they used to When you fall in love with someone it’s supposed to be for life Not just the here and now My grandparents was married for 65 or 70 years and my parents stayed married for the same amount of time I wish so much that people cared about each other and loved each other like they used to It’s really hard to find true love anymore So if you have a good partner and they treat you right You better get down on your knees and thank God Because this is a thing of the past I have lost out on love so many times No body stays together anymore It brakes my heart that people don’t have love for each other anymore I fell in love with a girl when I was 19 and she was 17 and we had so much fun and 8 years went by and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this woman I have not seen her in 30 years and there’s not a day that goes by That she doesn’t run through my mind I should have known that she was not serious about me after she got pregnant and wanted to get a abortion But I was so in love with this girl I even let her talk me into paying for this because I don’t believe in this I think when you Choose to do this You are taking a life that never had a chance to live But I stuck by her and I told her that I loved her but I would not do this again Some how she sucked me back in and got pregnant two more times and she choose to do the same thing two more times and after this I couldn’t see how I could go on knowing that I had three children that I never got to see or hug and tell them how much I loved them If I make to heaven I hope so much they will except me and know I didn’t want this to happen And I have been a single man ever since Because I can’t take all the pain and the hurt people do to each other these days I still love women but I threw the key to my heart away a long time ago Because I feel like I was robbed of my children and I could not go through that hurt anymore So I chose to end my relationship with this woman that I loved so much it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life I only hope our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Will forgive me and let me be the father in heaven that I never got to be here on earth I am 53 about to be 54 in a few weeks and I would have give my life for this woman and I still think about her every day I only hope Jesus will for forgive me Sorry for saying this But my mother is 81 and I lost my pop about two years ago and they still don’t know that I have three children in heaven Well my pop does because he has already gone to be with the lord I am so sorry pop for not telling you and mama You know I could not have asked the lord for a better mother and father than the ones he gave me I know they wondered why I never had a family But I did they just went to live in heaven before I did Or hope I get to go if the good lord will forgive me I tried really hard to talk her into not doing this But I couldn’t convince her or make her see that I did not want her to choose to do what she did I loved her with all of my heart and I let her talk me into paying for the first one But I told her that I would not do that again and I didn’t and this is what led me and her going our separate ways But there’s not a day in my life that goes by that I don’t think about her

Britt, definitely gotta check out Jamie Johnson’s “Lead Me Home” it’s CHURCH!! He also does a live performance of Seven Spanish Angels that is amazing

Yes! Like many others have said; see the music video, but also the live version with Oliver Anthony...oh, yeah...

Lead Me Home by Jamey Johnson He takes you to church!!!!!

The music video is awesome, heartbreaking and healing all in one.

Britt. Darlin.. You are absolutely correct.. It does heal! Sitting outside my resort room at 1:15am watching this on "Caribbean Goes Country 2024" trip in Cuba. Non stop Canadian Country concerts by Canadian artists to refurbish schools here in Cuba. Country music heals people; in so many ways 😉

Definitely watch the video!!!!

Another great reaction. Every time I hear this song, I think of my grandparents who met and married towards the end of the WWII era.

I love Jamey Johnson and this song feels like my grandparents and parents are still here with my dad singing to me. Awesome!!

I was at this show. Farm aid 2021 in CT. Phenomenal show!

another great song by Jamey is The High Cost of Living -- The cost of living high

This song chokes me up every time!

Wow this guy is a great singer. Hi britt, always love your reactions.

Beautiful song! Makes me miss my parents so much, they were married for 62 years when my mom passed and my dad passed two and half years later.

Yea you should definitely check out the video for this song! It adds so much more!!!

Jr the first thing you need is 😊❤❤

You need to experience the Official Video.

Jamey Johnson- Lead Me Home ( Live at Farm Aid 2021 ) is very very good

The music video is breathtaking

The music video is awesome, so cool. I won’t give away what happens at the end.❤

I get chills up and down my spine every single time I hear this song. One of my favorites of all time.

A truly iconic tune ..

Jamey’s first song “The Dollar” is another great storytelling song. Jamey is that songwriter like Chris Stapleton with a crazy amount of hits that he wrote.

Yes you should see the video it’s beautiful the song is gorgeous if you don’t like this song and you need to get yourself checked

I’ve been waiting for you to look at this you’re gonna love it it’s beautiful

There is a few country singers I like & he's one of them I grew up on Pink Floyd to CCR and everything in between. Dad liked rock, funk, Motown etc. & Mom was into country but, I never got into it. He's fantastic..

Great reaction to a contemporary country artist, who doing his best to keep country music alive.

Beyond Beautiful ❤️‍🔥

This song always squeezes my heart.All my old school family members are now dead and I miss them.All I have now are old pictures and memories.

Hah! "Chris Stapleton's uncle" that's going to stick in my head for awhile in a good way. lol

Man I had been waiting for you to get to this one. Sorry I'm so late to the party. They is e exactly how I learned most of my family history. I know I'm a generation back. I say that because my father was raised by his grandparents so his style, priorities and values are directly from people who lived the Great Depression. We alk were never in anyway considered rich and their s hits me hard. Now as the youngest grandchild of all these people who have passed I'm both equally proud and sad.

Brittreacts! Lead me home is such a beautiful song I know you'd love it. Love jamey, can't cash my checks is a great one to

the music video adds so much to this song. seeing his own family photos just makes it hit so much harder

This is a quality performance, but it's one instance where the music video is actually worth watching.

I forget the story on this song, it was briefly released a good 20 years ago. He was leaving a manager or recording company and he got sued and and to take the song off the air. I only heard it the one time and was completely blown away. I remember trying to describe it to my friends at work, but I couldn’t do it any justice. Fast forward and the next time I heard it I immediately recognized it. I was just glad that it was as good a song as I remembered.

I was beyond blessed to get to spend a ton of time with both my Grandfathers... I got to hear so many stories of both their lives.. When my Grandparents passed, a good majority of the family focused on what they get.. What possessions to they inherit.. How much money do they get... Go ahead and have it all.. I got the most valuable thing.. Their time... Their knowledge... Their true story...

Yes the music video is definitely worth checking out for this one. Another one of his songs of his i love is "playing the part" the music video for that one is pretty good too with a surprise celebrity cameo

This is another way to say you should have been there and I love this song

This is a great song, this about all he's knwon for. Kind of over night sucess kind of guy, but the say this song was born it's become super popular, Speaks to lots of people from military familys and preppers., Grand Parents stuff like that

One of the best written songs of all time.

'Lead Me Home' is so moving, definitely worth listening to. Also, he is even more handsome before the beard!

Jamey is one of the few vocalists who sounds better live than recorded. I have been to 3 of his concerts and that velvety voice just wraps around you.

You should do Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll or Stay by Sugarland. Two very get you in your feels songs!

Jamey is deep dive worthy. He has some really fantastic songs.

Jamey Johnson is a great artist and just as good a song writer

This is probably my favorite reaction of your and I have loved a lot of them. I introduced this song to my daughter and her boyfriend. They looked at each other and rolled their eyes and started to laugh. To me this is one of the greatest songs ever written. I loved your reaction

The video is a must see! There is a cover called Yesterday's Wine, which was a George Jones (Tennessee Whiskey) song. It's Jamey Johnson featuring Blackberry Smoke, and George Jones.

Such a great song.

i have a bunch of pictures of my grandpa...and Granma...i used to sit on his lap and listen to his stories...this song reminds me of them soo much. how they used to dress back in the 30s and 40s...that was them....the pictures all in black and white, but his stories brought them to life....I sure miss them

Gob bless anyway and love the song/reaction ❤😊

Your reaction is pure emotion and from the heart. You’ve broken the song down perfectly. This is the first time you’ve popped up in my streaming. I had to subscribe with the first two minutes. I love how you put the eeerr in color like a true Southerner. ♥️♥️

You should see the video. Make you cry. ❤

I have a lot of those kind of old photos, from my grandparents, who came up through the Depression and were young couple during WW2. Hard song to listen to. Lots of memories of their stories, as we went through those old photo albums. One of my Grandpas was in the Pacific (SE Asia) and the other was on a destroyer in the N Atlantic. God bless them both, and everyone else's grandparents who served and saved us all.

When people talk about making america great they are generally talking about the result of hard work, sacrifices and incredible contributions of the next gen. So many people lost so much.

The video is a must see.

Jamey is so good 😊

i hope you do more Jamie Johnson another great one is angel by him
