I'll Sing About Mine (Official Video) 

Man, I would love to see these guys live. Too bad they will never come to KY. Y'all in Texas are fortunate to have the best country music.

Excellent viewpoint! Funny thing is Kenny grew up in a small town and I have a friend who knew Kenny way back when. My favorite song of his is "Back Where I Come From" which is a great song about a small town. Guess he got "Nashville-ized" and forgot what country music is all about and is trying to be a Jimmy Buffet clone. Josh Abbott has it right!

The Abbot family is full of hard working wonderful people. I know Josh's brother through my old church in Houston and met them at his wedding. Just good people and this song couldn't be more true. Glad to see Josh meet such success. Good country is still alive and well.

I love the direct shot at Kenny. This song couldn't be more true. There are tons of nashville pop songs from artists that claim to be country but they don't even have a clue what country is. very few of the people in nashville these days actually are from small country towns and even fewer actually sing real country music. Red dirt is the saving grace of country music.

I remember having Josh as a teacher in college as a TA and seeing him get his start at bluelight

Great song. Texas forever. Nash country is gone.

Population just a few thousand, ha! My high school was just a few thousand people...I hate the city.

Hell yea Josh, you keep singing bout yours and THAT’S Texas country!

Finally got to see y'all love up at the Inn of the Mountain God's this year and I know I'm commenting on an older video but we will see y'all again 100%

Why am i just hearing of this song about where I live and inspired my channel name!? anyway the fact that +Josh Abbott Band is actually from my hometown as well, is so inspiring for me to try and accomplish big things in life!

Y'all realize that this is not Josh Abbott's song and that the only good Dairy Queens are in Texas right? Unless you are in Texas you can't get The Dude, Hungerbuster, Country baskets, T-Brand Tacos, etc.....so whats the point in going to DQ?

but the problem is nashville is making a ton of money off it by making every small town sound the same, like a bad joke about small towns. each one is unique even if there are lots of old trucks tractors and jeans, but there is a whole lot more heritage to it than that.

This song is about how pop-country makes small town living into a kind of paradise borderline on a joke. I live in the country and love it, but there's nothing glamorous about beat up old trucks, tractors, and dirt roads. And most people I know will agree it's no paradise, but We wouldn't want to live anywhere else or any other way.

at 2:42 its me in the green shirt!!!:)

I hadn't thought about this song in years. And it's such a great song. But hearing the new Beyonce song reminds me of the lyrics of this song. Now I can definitely relate to Josh Abbott's words. And thank you to guys like Josh Abbott who really are sticking to their roots.

This shit is hilarious! No one gives a fuck who wrote it and who sings it better, what matters is whether you can relate to the story the singer/songwriter is telling. This one can relate to almost everyone! How there life’s are depicted differently by others who don’t truly know. It means be happy you know the true story and don’t ever take what other people say to heart, they do not truly know you and what you do! I’m a welder by profession does not mean I make bank, doesn’t mean my job requires more skill then yours. Just means I fuse things together. Be happy you were the strongest swimmer and got a chance to live your life to the fullest!!!:)

I agree I'm from Texas and have lived in Nashville for years and I hate the radio and I got a good laugh about Kenny Chesney !! I saw his show last year and I would have given up those tickets to see some good Texas singers Like Josh Abott or Charlie Robison !! Any day he sucked and then he wants to sing Charlie's music and he sucked at that too !! I do laugh every time I hear this and its often because I buy my cd's and listen to radio up here it sucks !!

Country girls do think that a hard working man on a tractor is sexy, country is blue jeans and beat up trucks and dairy queen in a small town, so to bash the singers that sing these songs in fine but the songs themselves are exactly what country is. I was raised in grayson Ky. pop 3000. worked on the farm and loved to eat at the dq. wore old blue jeans and drove a beat up truck! thats country, farm or starve! I can relate to the song and the fact that country has gone to hell though!

I live in ambergris caye belize but my heart belongs to texas. Have never been there in my entire life. But i love the culture the people and the music. Maybe in my other life i was from there lol.

I agree. no fantasies. STORYTELLERS FOREVER.!! like it.

I give Kenny Chesney credit, not a lot people sing about tractors. Everyone else is singing about bullshit.

Love this band I am from a small farm town in new mexico but I disagree tractors are sexy

It's not the size of the nail. It's the hammer you're trowing with at.

So The Josh Abbott Band didn't write this song. I think George Strait had only one writing credit for anything he had ever recorded in thirty years. Tim McGraw hasn't penned many of his tunes. Johnny Cash didn't write all his own material. There are people who can write, but can't sing and there are those that can't sing, but quite that's the way the music industry works. So get over yourself there are other things that need a voice and this isn't one of them.

Agree 100%, I live in a small town in the HEART OF AMERICA... we haul hay and farm the land, and life is good here but it's not ALL ABOUT A PART ON A BACK ROAD.

How can you give a thumbs down? He's got his parents in the video!

since when is waco population 2000 lol now whitney thats were this songs about,

It's sad when one of the most country artists in nashville is from Australia...

Waco, Texas isn't a small town haha, try Idalou, Texas :)

I love everything about this song forever good to hear real country music 🤠🎸♥️💯

Idalou isnt that small of a town, try Throckmorton, Texas.

That is a song love it all the way from Scotland

Coming to Denver!!! I’ll be there

Yay! im in this video!

Kenny Chesney wrote and released a song titled, "She Think's My Tractors Sexy"

This is one of my favourite Texas Country song from JAB. Greetings from Hungary!

Krum is small!

Ive been through Idalou before, I have family in Lubbock and we would always pass through there!

Brian Keane sings it better. Nothing against Josh Abbott I just think Brian sings better.

As someone who is not a fan of 99% of country music, this is good stuff.

Heading out see JAB and Jason Boland tonight in Lewisville, TX. Last night it was Kevin Fowler and American Aquarium. All at Western Days festival in Lewisville, TX. Best of all, these concerts are free! Gotta love Texas!!

Probably one of the best music videos that JAB put out so far

I hate that the "production" version of this song has so much "production". I loved the one they were playing on the radio in small town Texas stations 2 or 3 years ago. Its simplicity with the message was powerful and sounded fantastic. It was moving. This version fits in with pretty much everything that comes out of the "name brand" labels these days.

Who's song is this original?

Hey Sir William. Don't give up on Josh Abbott coming to Kentucky. His concert tour is all over the USA. I am from, originally, his neck of the woods down in West Texas but I live in San Diego, CA. He is coming here to House of Blues on August 29 and I will be there. There are so many incredible Texas Country singers out there and I hope more of them will find there way here also. Looking forward to seeing Josh in 3 weeks. He actually went to my Alma Mater..........Texas Tech. GUNS UP!!!!!!!!

2021

my sister passed away a few years ago. we used to sing this song while dad played his guitar in the kitchen and momma cooked dinner. i still listen to this just to remember the amazing memories i have with her. miss you sis💜💙

Friona Chief!!!

honestly best country song ive heared in a while

You misunderstand. I am agreeing with you 100%. I can't stand the Jason Aldeans of the music scene. What I wrote was about the constant barrage of dirt road small town songs on the radio that have very little basis in reality. I was excited to find this song because I feel exactly the same way. I also love Aaron Watson who has turned down Nashville because he doesn't want to compromise his music or leave his family to tour all year long.

Guys chill out!! Every artist has songs they don't write they sing.. It's just the way it is nowadays! So chill out!! :)

fuckin badass

Hell yes

Idalou isn't exactly big either though. By most peoples standards Idalou is super small. I'm from sweetwater but moved to the McKinney area when it wasn't that big. Now McKinney is huge and the people I went to school with think that Prosper is small.

Love

Great song, saw it on the country music channel. The reason I like it because I can relate to it. Only thing our town is pop. 700 people, so no dairy queen lol.

Rock On Brother!!!

I like the song but not the video. It should emphasize on the singer and and especially the background instruments. That is what makes this song good.

Craig Campbell wrote a song with the line "if you have to tell me how country you are..you probably ain't." I've been listening to country music my entire 38 years of life and have gone back to the classics also. Even though it is true that music evolves, never in the history of country music until now has any artist felt the need barrage us with constant dirt road small town cliches one after another. Country is honesty and being who you say you are. Its Monday thru Friday life.

ya lubbock is such a small town

Adalyn was a small town outside of Lovitt are used to deliver some August pies

I saw him in concert and thought he was pretty good. Definitely a huge Charlie fan, but Kenny has a different place in music. Pop-country's a completely different genre and while I hate some of the messages it spreads I will say Kenny's a talented performer.

I have lived in cities like Philadelphia, Atlanta and New Orleans and also have spent many times in others like New York, Nashville, Chicago and Kasas City, but this song really hits home and I really appreciate what Idalou has given to me. I appreciate this town and state more and more every day.

I unfortunately did not grow up in a small town, but I'm headed there. I don't like the city/suburb...

good cover....but i like brian keane version better

this concert was in austin at the nutty brown. really great performance!

God bless Johny Hendricks that beautiful sombitch

Love this so much all the pics and Preston on that fiddle !keep them songs coming !

If it works... Play it...

I love the Brian Keane original version but JAB version is just as good. One of my favorites on the CD.

what does he mean by tractors aint sexy? i hate to instigate

Love this song♥♥♥♥♥♡♥♥♥

He just sang truth about most modern country songs.

But what would they sing about?!?!?!

it is cool

Well, I'm just a country woman in Okahoma, and I have to say " I LOVE THIS VIDEO & THE SONG!" Small towns are made up of HARD WORKING FARMERS WHERE I LIVE. This band has PUT MY thoughts out there and also THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO, LOVE IT !!!

How bout them Idalou Wildcats!!!!

Awesome growing up in a small town!!

very few people no matter if singers or not can say they are from small town country towns.

honestly best country song ive heared in a while

I live where he posted this video

thats where josh abbot is from bro...

LOVE this! *a die hard fan from Waco, Texas* (:

I was at this show at Nutty brown!

I miss the days when this was my town.

is that beau at the beginning?

Reppin' TXST!! Eat em up cats!

Nice job! Come to Atlanta!

Texas Forever!!

Tractors are sexy

As a Texan I love this video, and also LOVE it even more because I was at JAB Fest Austin where this was filmed and appear three times in this video :)

So Josh Abbott sings a song he DIDN'T WRITE with the lines "I ain’t saying that their lives ain’t hard, I’d love to hear about it sometime, but let them sing about their own life and I’ll sing about mine." ...kinda hypocritical if you ask me.

Amen brothers

love love love this band :)

hell yea

Amen...

Adam Hood and Brain Keane co-wrote this song and both their versions are very good. I especially like Hood's version.

because a town isn't smaller than yours doesn't mean it isn't a small town. Why can't we all just relate instead of comparing and trying to be better by proving our town is smaller?
