This is WAY MORE than I expected! Grady, what are you going to do when someone "Country Famous," re-records this? It's actually really catchy and very likable - and those folks really did you a favor!
@@GradySmith Or maybe pitching the song to several Nashville stars about recording their own version? I could hear it leaning more into the beach vibe and being a Kenny Chesney hit!
Grady this is the coolest video you’ve ever done! I LOVED this so much. Sitting here trying to think which artist is the best fit for “Too Outlaw For My In-laws” This is brilliant man!
I really like the song. It reminds me of Refried Dreams by Tim McGraw. Could definitely be a radio hit, and what I love most about it is it is lyrically different than anything else I have heard.
I'm calling it, this is your best video ever! It was amazing to watch Ernest in his right element. Maybe you can write another song with other artists/songwriters too?
Long time listener first time caller here. WOW! Grady this is extremely impressive and deserves a ton of recognition. This is an immense amount of work and a really cool video, bravo!!
I really enjoyed the peek behind the curtain of Nashville - super talented people and interesting to get a glimpse of their work! Great video, Grady! And the song is a jam! 🧡
Wow the way Ernest just came up with stuff on the fly like that! Mind blowing just wow! He has a true natural talent I can see how he has the #1’s that he has!! Amazing video Grady,we need more songs haha and you didn’t sound half bad either,keep it up bro!
Amazing video, I feel like this could be a semi-annual series where you explore various facets of the industry more in-depth while creating an EP or a short album of your own songs/collabs. The possibilities are endless, and this idea can scale, baby!
I am from germany and I sadly admit that Country Music isn‘t as famous as in the states. But I love your videos and I love to see Ernest how he is able to create melodies just like that. I appreciate his talent so much! Greets from Germany :)
I loved all of your song ideas, you could have done either one and it would have been great! I also loved the photos! (Well, I loved everything about this really) And.. you are far more handsome than any country artist I can think of. You'd have more panties thrown at you than Morgan. 😄👌
I first found Grady's video about "snap tracks" and I've been hooked since. I've also been a fan of ERN since I caught his first podcast. THIS IS MY FAVORITE thing I've seen in a LONG TIME!!!! BRAVO :D
Dude this is so sick. Already added the song to my playlist, when i heard the first 10 seconds of it. Now hear me out, no one expects you to become a country star, BUT you HAVE TO turn your other song ideas with it's cheaper to keep 'er into songs as well now and just release a little EP. Series of Episodes is such a vibe, it'd be a shame not to go for the other ideas now as well, especially because the titles are already humorous.
It's been so fun to watch your channel (and you!) grow and evolve over the years I've been a subscriber. I love that this TH-cam thing has taken you all the way to recording an actual single with frickin' Ernest. It's been cool to watch, dude.
"Faded" about a drunk barber sounds legit, looking forward to that becoming a song lol. Pretty cool to see the business, behind-the-scenes side of being a musician. Way to make use of your connections, bro.
This was such a fun watch! Love all the BTS info on the process of becoming a country star, and those photos Katie got were amazing (I especially love the through-the-elbow mirror shot 😍)!
I loved all of this so much! Don’t be afraid to do something diff from your reviews (which are tried and true). This and the country advent are such fun videos! ❤
soon well all say we were here before you were a mega star. this song is such a great vibe. and erns talent to be able to write a song that easily is incredible.
Bro, that was awesome! I thought you were just a critic of music but now you know how it is to go through it! And you did a great job! You kinda sound Gary Allan-ish honestly! Best video ever brother! 🤘🤘
This is my favorite video you have done, it is fantastic! I really enjoyed seeing all these people at work, and seeing behind the curtain. Thank you, thank you!
This is amazing man, love it, great tune, video and overall mini story! Also build out that "Cheaper to Keep her song" that will be your follow-up single ;) Cheers!
Seriously fabulous job Grady! As an Aussie having visited the States, you also just gave me horror flashbacks about staying in that same Knight's Inn years ago on my one trip to Nashville 😅 Your room did the trick though!

You should ask that country stylist out
@@ITPHIL620 Hopefully you can branch out because country music is very polarizing. The rest of my family always hated it I go back-and-forth.
I seriously want those other song ideas to be real songs too, this is actually lowkey a bop
I write country songs I want to become a country music star & move to nashville TN I post my songs on tick tock but I want to move to nashville & get a record deal , work with nashville songwriters & get my songs played on country radio & go on tour with JASON ALDEAN 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 🤠🤠🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 I also wear the cowboy hat & cowboy boots & western belt with a western belt buckle , That is my country artist look & country artist stage look
Dude I just listened to that song and no shit it’s actually good lol that’s so awesome😂
We need a new song every month! "It's cheaper to keep her" & "Too outlaw for my inlaws" have some real potential too.
I bet Ernest would make a hell of a song with to outlaw for my in laws
Here's a my attempt at writing Too out law for my in-laws
Too Outlaw for my In-Laws
Well you should’ve seen my mother inlaw’s face
When I showed up to brunch in ‘em old worn out jeans
Said I was out of place, whatever that means
Hey what can I say, I’ve never been one for
A big city office job or fancy high paying career
Don’t want no part in the great race
Just wanna cold cold beer
And maybe a couple more
‘Cause I’m too outlaw for my inlaws
I’m just another Friday night rodeo ranch hand
Singer of a big ol’ rock and roll long haired hillbilly band
Hanging out with the bikers and hippies and southpaws
That’s why this old cowboy is too outlaw for his inlaws
Well me and my old lady go hand in hand
When we go out a sittin’ in my new deer stand
But her parents never thought she’d be the kind
To settle down with redneck in a smalltown
Raise a bunch a kids and spend all her free time in duck blind
Naw they wanted her to marry an up and coming business man
Someone with a great big plan, not a plowboy or a farm hand
I guess that’s why I’m too outlaw for my inlaws
I’m just another Friday night rodeo ranch hand
Singer of a big ol’ rock and roll long haired hillbilly band
Hanging out with the bikers and hippies and southpaws
That’s why this old cowboy is too outlaw for his inlaws
Well her folks wanted to move down to Florida
So I hitched up my big wide trailer and chevy pickup truck
Put their bed in a flatbed and drove on down
If it weren’t for me they would’ve had to spend
Big money on a moving company
So now they’re glad I’m too outlaw for my inlaws
I’m just another Friday night rodeo ranch hand
Singer of a big ol’ rock and roll long haired hillbilly band
Hanging out with the bikers and hippies and southpaws
That’s why this old cowboy is too outlaw for his inlaws
Ernest has some major skill, the way he wrote that so easy is crazy
Skills is an understatement, when you’re that good at somethin I think they call it talent.
It’s easy when you do it every day…
@@officialWWM that’s the point tho, he does that without trouble everyday. Talent and skill is what it’s called
@@douglaslee8478 is it talent, or hard work? There are formulas to write songs. It’s not that difficult when you understand them.
@@officialWWM where are your chart topping bangers?
How cool is it that Ernest was willing to do this
This will be a certified Grady Classic
I love your normal content. But this is my favorite thing you’ve ever done.
Are you gonna get royalties when Ernest eventually records “too outlaw for my in-laws?” He seemed to love that one 😂
Now you need to review it on your next single round up
Yeehaw or yeenaw 😂
This is WAY MORE than I expected! Grady, what are you going to do when someone "Country Famous," re-records this? It's actually really catchy and very likable - and those folks really did you a favor!
I'm so grateful to all of em for helping me!
I'm gonna start saying "Are you sure Grady done it this way" when people make bad music.
LMAO
@@GradySmithplease make more music ! You’re amazing !
YES!!
What you ought to do is a part 2 of this video, shooting a video for the song and doing it live
oh gosh u right
Yes!
Too bad TRL isn't still a thing. Get him on there.
@@GradySmith Or maybe pitching the song to several Nashville stars about recording their own version? I could hear it leaning more into the beach vibe and being a Kenny Chesney hit!
Ernest seemed to really like too outlaw for my inlaws and i really hope he makes something off that hahahah
Ernest wrote that so quick. Interesting how fast he can put a song together.
Only thing missing was making a music video!
added to the playlist. thanks for reminding us that the people behind the Nashville production line are real people too. lots of love man
Cheaper to keep her is actually already a song! From 2007 by Aaron Lines, he's Canadian so it was pretty big here for a minute
It’d be cool if Ernest could release a version as well!
The fact that Grady kept his footage from 2010 shows you he’s really a pro with keeping everything he records. Honestly impressive.
Grady my friend, we’re going to need a single of “it’s cheaper to keep her” it’s not debatable
Grady this is the coolest video you’ve ever done! I LOVED this so much. Sitting here trying to think which artist is the best fit for “Too Outlaw For My In-laws” This is brilliant man!
probably not Jeff Bates!!
I'd say Jackson Dean OR Hot Country Knights!
I can picture Lily Rose doing it and the added layers could be so funny/poignant
Justin Moore or Aaron Watson
Justin moore for sure
i watched this and i appreciate all the talented people you worked with! I was very pleased with you final mix of the song!
bro you should drop an album
I already know Grady will have this song be his outro for all his videos lol
I really like the song. It reminds me of Refried Dreams by Tim McGraw. Could definitely be a radio hit, and what I love most about it is it is lyrically different than anything else I have heard.
I'm calling it, this is your best video ever! It was amazing to watch Ernest in his right element. Maybe you can write another song with other artists/songwriters too?
This was a cool way to showcase other talented people
I'm obsessed with Amy. She needs a show.
She's freakin' hilarious and could totally do that.
I need Amy to go through my wardrobe
What a intresting insight into what goes into song writing, style, photography and producing. Incredible video!
I'm blown away Grady. It''s got "Some Beach" vibes.
Immediately started singing Aaron Lines "Cheaper to Keep Her" 😆 What a great video! Loved getting a glimpse into the process.
This was wildly entertaining, great video
This is one of the most entertaining vids ever! Love this!
19:15 would be an awesome background photo with the soundtrack list for your debut album on the back of a CD case or something 🔥
Long time listener first time caller here. WOW! Grady this is extremely impressive and deserves a ton of recognition. This is an immense amount of work and a really cool video, bravo!!
I love how much Grady was dying to get that Office reference in there
The persistence paid off!
This is probably the coolest video you've ever made. I loved all of that. So awesome! Ernest is a genius too.
I really enjoyed the peek behind the curtain of Nashville - super talented people and interesting to get a glimpse of their work!
Great video, Grady! And the song is a jam! 🧡
Ernest is crazy impressive with how quick he is. This was a fun episode!
Wow the way Ernest just came up with stuff on the fly like that! Mind blowing just wow! He has a true natural talent I can see how he has the #1’s that he has!! Amazing video Grady,we need more songs haha and you didn’t sound half bad either,keep it up bro!
Amazing video, I feel like this could be a semi-annual series where you explore various facets of the industry more in-depth while creating an EP or a short album of your own songs/collabs. The possibilities are endless, and this idea can scale, baby!
We need to get this trending! It’s very catchy and I’m adding it to my library!
I am from germany and I sadly admit that Country Music isn‘t as famous as in the states. But I love your videos and I love to see Ernest how he is able to create melodies just like that. I appreciate his talent so much! Greets from Germany :)
Genuinely brilliant video, Grady!
Already made this song into a ringtone and I’ve listened to it no less than 50 times. I love it!
Heck yeah man, your dedication and commitment to this video is awesome.
I loved all of your song ideas, you could have done either one and it would have been great! I also loved the photos! (Well, I loved everything about this really) And.. you are far more handsome than any country artist I can think of. You'd have more panties thrown at you than Morgan. 😄👌

What an absolute masterpiece of a video this is.
Based on the title and thumbnail I was skeptical going in, but I actually thoroughly enjoyed this. Great work Grady.
"Faded" about a drunk barber sounds legit, looking forward to that becoming a song lol.
Pretty cool to see the business, behind-the-scenes side of being a musician. Way to make use of your connections, bro.
LOVED THIS!!! 😍 You’re attractive, but also relatable in an every-man sort of way, and it just works! Please do the other songs someday! 👏👏
Great vid Grady, I like that side of you with learning and experiencing the Nashville life.
This was awesome Grady good work
That song is a BOP. Well done, sir! Loved this video. The earth tones suit you well :)
What a fun video to make! I know you enjoyed the experience!
Real fun stuff...
This was such a fun watch! Love all the BTS info on the process of becoming a country star, and those photos Katie got were amazing (I especially love the through-the-elbow mirror shot 😍)!
Great video
BEST. VIDEO. EVER! 😃
Getting big 🎵Some Beach🎵 vibes from this too!
Looking forward to seeing whats next
Huge fan of yours Grady! Absolutely top 5 coolest videos you have ever done! And I really like the song!
Those images are hard 🥶 🔥
I loved all of this so much! Don’t be afraid to do something diff from your reviews (which are tried and true). This and the country advent are such fun videos! ❤
Dude does one song and he's got more followers and monthly listeners on Spotify than me. Fuuuu*k! 😭😁🤪 Good job!
Man, this was really cool. Now to go play it in some of the rounds in town
I can’t believe this! My wife and I love it. Crazy cause I learned so much about music just by you reviewing country music
Another great video! Looking forward to Series 2 of Episodes
Such a great video man
Thank you! I just watched a full one of your vids, and they're awesome!
'Honestly, I'm just doin' what I do'
So after all this, that's your motto now?
Your sense of humor is killing me🤣🤣🤣🤣
soon well all say we were here before you were a mega star. this song is such a great vibe. and erns talent to be able to write a song that easily is incredible.
Why is this song so catchy 😂 awesome Grady!
Ern is literally a GENIUS. The song definitely gets a YEEHAW from me!

Bro, that was awesome! I thought you were just a critic of music but now you know how it is to go through it! And you did a great job! You kinda sound Gary Allan-ish honestly! Best video ever brother! 🤘🤘
This is so cool. I'm sure you compensated all the professionals in this video but they seemed super nice and down to earth. Love the song!!
This is my favorite video you have done, it is fantastic! I really enjoyed seeing all these people at work, and seeing behind the curtain. Thank you, thank you!
Grady this is awesome plz make this a thing. Also give Quarantine Town the recording it deserves

Fantastic. Keep recording your own songs. Loved it!

I could watch Ernest write music all day! This is a phenomenal video.
Shady Grady Records 😂. Me and my son loved this song Grady! Be 100% proud of this of this one! much love dude!
Jeez Ernest Is insane
Congratulations.
Your experiment was a success. Entertaining, insightful, creative.
I love the video, and it's hilarious you made a "list song". One of your best vids.
Even just being in front of the camera like that takes confidence and I applaud you for that. Great video Grady
Man this is a good song!!
Ernest is so incredibly talented, funny and just seems like a great guy. This is great video.
Such a creative and fun video, Grady! Love that you stepped out of your comfort zone for this!
Man I respect the effort in this video the process the insight and epiphanal advice
Seriously fabulous job Grady! As an Aussie having visited the States, you also just gave me horror flashbacks about staying in that same Knight's Inn years ago on my one trip to Nashville 😅 Your room did the trick though!
I love seeing professionals just be so good at their jobs. Some pure competency kink in this video. Great video!
Really awesome video, Grady! The song is so fun too. Been watching your videos for awhile and this has been my favorite one so far.
This is probably the best and most interesting video so far. Amazing what came to be and great song actually haha. More of this Grady!
Looooooooooooove this episode! Entertaining, yet educational. Top notch! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This video had me smiling cheek to cheek. Honestly inspirational in a lot of ways.
This track is super catchy 🥳. It’ll be stuck in my head all weekend 🎶
